I have a Toro Super Bagger Model 20197. It just started shutting off when I remove the bag to empty it. I released the bail handle and the blade stops turning and the motor keeps running which is what it is supposed to do. As soon as I take the bag off to empty the motor shuts off. It normally always kept running. Is there a switch I need to clean, or something else I can do to fix it?

On your unit, if the mulch plug or the bag are not in place, the blade and engine are both supposed to stop. Don’t know why they didn’t operate this way previously, but now they are working properly. Page 11 of this owners manual speaks to engine stopping. https://www.toro.com/getpub/56637

Hi Rivets. Reason I purchased this lawnmower was because of the electric clutch feature for the blade. The motor is suppose to keep running when the bail handle is released and the blade isn’t turning. This is the 2nd lawn I have had with this feature and the old one would keep running as well when you removed the blade to empty it.

I don’t know how you were able to operate it the way you have in the passed, but if there is no lever in the top switch channel the engine and unit is designed to stop. See page 6 of the manual I posted. This is a safety feature, not much more I can tell you.
