Tips & Warnings
Sharpen the blades on your Simplicity mower or replace damaged ones. This prevents the bag problems that result from dull or damaged blades.
Mow your lawn when the grass is dry to prevent difficulties with the bag. Wet grass causes the lawn mower to clog. It also causes the mower to stall while you are in the process of grooming your lawn, thus making it a time-consuming and arduous process.
Always turn off the mower before emptying the bag, cleaning out the chute or adjusting the mower in any fashion.
