until the button on the lever pops up.
Important: For proper operation, remove any grass
clippings and debris from the bag-on-demand door
and the surrounding opening (Figure 21) before you
move the bag-on-demand lever from one position
to another.
WARNING
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result
in serious personal injury. Also, an open rear
discharge area 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.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop before cleaning the bag-on-demand door and
the surrounding opening.
