Raise and hold up the rear deflector (Figure 12). Stopping the Engine To stop the engine, release the blade control bar. Important: When you release the blade control bar, both the engine and blade should stop within 3 seconds. If they do not stop properly, stop using your mower immediately and contact an Authorized Service Dealer. 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 (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 (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. 1. Notches 2.
