Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to replace your lawn mower's grass bag and frame:

1. Remove the Old Bag:
   • Lift up the lawn mower's rear shield.
   • Unclip the bag retainers that secure the old bag to the frame.
   • Carefully slide the old bag off the frame.
2. Install the New Bag:
   • Take the new Toro 131-4556 grass bag.
   • Slide the frame into the new bag, ensuring it is properly seated.
   • Clip the bag retainers onto the frame to secure the new bag.
3. Attach to Mower:
   • Lift up the mower's rear shield again.
   • Position the assembled new bag and frame into place on the lawn mower, ensuring it locks securely.

Operating Instructions

Once the grass bag and frame are securely installed, you can operate your lawn mower as usual. Ensure the bag is properly attached before starting the mower to prevent grass clippings from being discharged improperly.

• Regular Emptying: For efficient grass collection and to prevent clogging, empty the grass bag regularly, especially when mowing tall or wet grass. A full bag can reduce the mower's cutting performance and increase strain on the engine.
• Safety: Always turn off the lawn mower engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before attaching, removing, or emptying the grass bag to prevent accidental starting.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance of your grass bag will extend its lifespan and ensure continued performance:

• Cleaning: After each use, especially when mowing wet grass, remove the bag and shake out any remaining clippings. If necessary, rinse the bag with water and allow it to air dry completely before reattaching or storing. This prevents mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the bag for any tears, holes, or signs of wear. Check the frame for bends or damage. Replace the bag or frame if significant damage is found to maintain effective grass collection and safety.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your grass bag, consider the following common solutions:

• Poor Grass Collection:
  • Ensure the bag is not overfilled.
  • Check for blockages in the mower's discharge chute or the bag's entry point.
  • Verify the bag is securely attached to the mower and the rear shield is properly closed.
  • Clean the bag mesh to ensure proper airflow.
• Bag Tearing or Damage:
  • Inspect the mowing area for debris (rocks, sticks) that could be thrown into the bag.
  • Ensure the bag is not dragging on the ground or rubbing against sharp edges of the mower.
  • If the bag is old and worn, replacement may be necessary.
