Mulching the Clippings
Your mower comes from the factory ready to mulch 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 mulching 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 mulching the clippings.
Important: The mower has a safety switch that
prevents you from engaging the blade unless you
first install the mulch plug securely on the mower
(Figure 25).
Install the mulch plug as illustrated in Figure 25.

Bagging the Clippings
Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and
leaf clippings from the lawn.
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
Installing the Grass Bag
1. Remove the mulch plug (Figure 26).
2. Route the starter rope around the lower rope guide
(Figure 27).
Note: The lower rope guide releases the starter rope
when you pull the recoil start handle.
3. Insert the grass bag handle into the grooves at the
top of the mower (Figure 28).
Important: The mower has a safety switch that
prevents you from engaging the blade unless you
first install the grass bag securely on the mower.
