Pin in bag notch DANGER POTENTIAL HAZARD • A worn grass bag could allow small stones and other similar debris to be thrown in operator’s or bystanders direction. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Thrown objects can cause serious personal injury or death to the operator or bystanders. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD • Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged, install a new Toro replacement bag. DANGER POTENTIAL HAZARD • Thrown objects may result if the discharge door does not close completely. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Thrown objects can cause serious personal injury or death. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD • If the discharge door cannot be closed because grass clippings clog discharge area, stop the engine and gently move the discharge door handle back and forth until the door can be closed completely. If the door still cannot be closed, remove the obstruction with a stick; not your hand. 6. Cut grass until the bag is full. IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the bag. 7. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 8. Pull the discharge door handle up and out of the bag notch (Fig. 7) and pull it forward until it engages the catch (Fig. 6).

9. Remove the bag from the mower and empty the grass.

Checking the Blade Brake Clutch System If your mower has a BBC (Blade Brake Clutch) safety system, the grass bag can be used to check for BBC system deterioration. (For additional BBC tests, refer to your operator’s manual.) 1. Install the empty grass bag on the discharge tunnel. 2. Push the control bar down to the lowest position (Fig. 8). 147 1 2 Figure 8 1. Control bar 2. Two inches 3. Lift the control bar to the normal “blade engaged position, about 2” below the handle. The bag should begin to inflate which indicates the blade is engaged and rotating. 4. Release the control bar. If the bag does not immediately deflate, it indicates that the blade is still rotating and deterioration of the Blade Brake Clutch mechanism may have occurred, which could result in an unsafe operating condition. Have mower inspected by an Authorized Toro Service Dealer. Maintenance Cleaning Always ensure that the discharge tunnel door closes when the handle is released. If debris prevents the discharge door from closing, clean the inside of the discharge tunnel and door thoroughly. Perform all cleaning procedures described in the Operator’s Manual. DANGER POTENTIAL HAZARD • Thrown objects may result if the discharge door does not close completely. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Thrown objects can cause serious personal injury or death. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD • If the discharge door cannot be closed because grass clippings clog the discharge area, stop the engine and gently move the discharge door handle back and forth until the door can be closed completely. If door still cannot be closed, remove the obstruction with a stick; not your hand. DANGER POTENTIAL HAZARD • Grass clippings and other objects can be thrown from an open discharge tunnel. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Objects thrown with enough force could cause serious personal injury or death to the operator or bystander. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD • Never open the door on the discharge tunnel when the engine is running.
