To attach the Toro 38-inch 79101 Bagger, first ensure the mower is off and on a flat surface. Locate the mounting brackets on your mower and align the bagger's hooks with these brackets. Secure the bagger by firmly pressing until it clicks into place. Refer to the manual for any model-specific instructions.
Ensure that the chute is not clogged and that the bag is not full. Check for any blockages and clear debris from the chute. Inspect the blade to make sure it is sharp and in good condition, as a dull blade can affect grass collection.
Regularly clean the bagger, removing grass clippings and debris after each use. Inspect the bag for any tears or damage and repair or replace as needed. Store the bagger in a dry place to prevent mold and mildew. Periodically check fasteners and hardware for tightness.
To remove the bagger, turn off the mower and ensure it is on a flat, stable surface. Lift the bagger slightly to disengage it from the mounting brackets and carefully pull it away from the mower. Clean the bagger thoroughly before storing it in a dry location.
While it is possible to collect wet grass, it is not recommended as it can lead to clogging and uneven collection. Wet grass is heavier and can cause the bagger to fill more quickly, requiring more frequent emptying.
Check that the bagger is correctly aligned with the mounting brackets and fully engaged. Inspect the hooks and brackets for any damage or wear that might prevent secure attachment. Tighten any loose hardware and consult the manual for specific locking mechanisms.
Always turn off the mower before attaching, removing, or emptying the bagger. Wear protective eyewear and gloves to prevent injury from debris. Ensure all parts are securely attached before operation, and never attempt to clear blockages with the mower running.
While not strictly necessary, using a mulching blade can improve grass collection efficiency and reduce clippings size, allowing more grass to fit into the bagger. It can also help in better distribution of grass for composting.
The frequency of emptying the bagger depends on the grass length and moisture content. As a general rule, empty the bagger when it is about three-quarters full to prevent overfilling and ensure optimal performance.
Small tears can often be repaired using heavy-duty fabric tape or a patch kit. For larger tears or significant damage, it is recommended to replace the bagger to ensure safe and effective operation.
