Grass Bag (HRB536C)
A lawn mower works like a vacuum cleaner; it blows air through the bag,
which traps the grass clippings. Always empty the grass bag before it
becomes filled to the limit of its capacity. Bagging performance will diminish
after the bag becomes about 90% filled. Also, the bag is easier to empty when
it is not packed full.
Inspection
Inspect the grass bag for tears, holes, and excessive wear. The grass bag
wears during normal use and will eventually require replacement. If the grass
bag needs replacement you can remove and install a bag yourself (page 54).
Installation
1. Raise the discharge guard [1],
use the grass bag handle [3] and
hook the grass bag [2] onto the
mower deck as shown.
2. Release the discharge guard to
secure the grass bag.
Removal
1. Raise the discharge guard, grasp
the grass bag handle and remove
the grass bag.
2. Release the discharge guard.
3. When the grass bag is clear of
the discharge guard, you can lift it
through the handlebar opening,
or you can remove it to the rear of
the mower below the handlebar.
