5. PRE-OPERATION CHECK GRASS BAG Check that the grass bag is in good condition and not clogged. A clogged grass bag will not collect grass efficiently. When the bag needs cleaning, wash it with a garden hose, and allow it to dry thoroughly before use; a wet bag will clog quickly. The grass bag wears during normal use and will eventually require replacement If you operate the mower with a damaged or worn out bag, objects picked up by the blade may be thrown through the bag material.
