2. Assemble the hanger clamps to the handle sections
using the set of holes that best holds the bag taut.
Using the lower holes in hanger clamps tightens the
bag assembly; using the upper holes in the hanger
clamps loosens the bag assembly.
Note: Under normal use, the bag will wear and
deteriorate. Check the grass bag often and replace it when
necessary with a genuine Lawn-Boy replacement bag. A
weakened or inferior bag may let objects pass through,
causing an injury.
Keep hands, sticks or other objects out of the
grass chute while the blade is turning; thrown
objects or blade contact can result in serious
injury.
Always stop the engine when emptying the grass
bag and disconnect the wire from the spark plug
before cleaning a clogged chute, a bag tunnel, or
the underside of the lawn mower housing.
Warning
Installing the Mulch Plate
To convert from side discharge operation to mulching,
remove the cover plate and install the mulch plate.
An uncovered discharge opening could allow the
lawn mower to throw objects in the operator’s or
bystander’s direction and result in serious injury.
Also, contact with the blade could occur.
Never operate the lawn mower unless you install a
cover plate, a mulch plate, or a grass chute and
catcher.
Warning
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug (Fig. 14).
3. Insert the mulch plate into the housing opening
(Fig. 47).
