When you release the blade control

Recycling the Clippings
Your mower comes from the factory ready to recycle the
grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
If the grass bag is on the mower, remove it (refer to
Removing the Grass Bag) before recycling the clippings.
If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it
and lock the side discharge door (refer to Removing the
Side Discharge Chute) before recycling the clippings.
Bagging the Clippings
Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and
leaf clippings from the lawn.
A worn grass bag could allow small stones
and other similar debris to be thrown in the
operator’s or bystander’s direction and result in
serious personal injury or death to the operator
or bystanders.
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is
damaged, install a new Toro replacement bag.
If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it
and lock the side discharge door (refer to Removing the
Side Discharge Chute) before bagging the clippings.
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can
result in serious personal injury.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop before leaving the operating position.
