Abstract

A lawn mower may include a blade housing configured to house at least one blade, an engine, a handle assembly, a door, and a bag lifting assembly. The blade housing may include an exit. The engine may be supported at least in part by the blade housing to selectively rotate the at least one blade. The handle assembly may guide operation of the lawn mower. The door may be rotatably disposed to have a first rest position in contact with a bagging attachment disposed to receive clippings from the blade housing and a second rest position proximate to the blade housing when the bagging attachment is removed. The bag lifting assembly may be configured to lift the door from the first rest position responsive to rotation of the handle assembly forward from an operating position.
