TYPICAL WORKFLOW

What the job looks like from start to finish

1

Identify the exact product, material, current condition…

Check 1 of 3 before repair a mower grass-bag fabric tear with a patch kit. This is a separate decision point because the real condition can change the safe method or the parts you need.

  • Identify the exact product, material, current condition, and access needed before you repair a mower grass-bag fabric tear with a patch kit.

Verify before moving on: Do not continue with repair a mower grass-bag fabric tear with a patch kit until you have completed this exact check and the real condition agrees with the planned method: Identify the exact product, material, current condition, and access needed before you repair a mower grass-bag fabric tear with a patch kit.

Safety: Shut the machine down, let hot parts cool, and disable accidental starting as the manual directs before touching moving parts. Keep fuel and vapors away from sparks or flame.
