Attachments/Accessories

A selection of Toro approved attachments and
accessories is available for use with the machine
to enhance and expand its capabilities. Contact
your Authorized Service Dealer or authorized Toro
distributor or go to www.Toro.com for a list of all
approved attachments and accessories.

To ensure optimum performance and continued safety
certification of the machine, use only genuine Toro
replacement parts and accessories. Replacement
parts and accessories made by other manufacturers
could be dangerous, and such use could void the
product warranty.

Operation

Note:

Determine the left and right sides of the

machine from the normal operating position.

CAUTION

If you leave the key in the ignition switch,
someone could accidently start the engine
and seriously injure you or other bystanders.

Remove the key from the ignition before you
do any maintenance.

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

The height-of-cut is adjustable from 25 to 127 mm (1
to 5 inches) in 13 mm (1/2 inch) increments. To adjust
the height-of-cut, position the castor wheel axles in
the upper or lower holes of the castor forks, add or
remove an equal number of spacers from the castor
forks and secure the height of cut collar to the desired
holes in the height of cut rod.

1.

Start the engine and raise the cutting unit off the
floor so that you can change the height-of-cut.
Shut off the engine and remove the key after
you raise the cutting unit.

2.

Position the castor wheel axles in the same
holes in both castor forks. Refer to

Figure 7

and

Figure 8

to determine the correct holes for the

setting.

Note:

When operating in 64 mm (2–1/2 inches)

height of cut or higher, install the axle bolt in the
lower castor fork hole to prevent grass buildup
between the wheel and the fork. When operating
in height of cuts lower than 64 mm (2–1/2
inches) and there is grass buildup, reverse the
machines direction to pull any clippings away
from the wheel/fork area.

3.

Remove the tensioning cap from the spindle
shaft (

Figure 7

and slide the spindle out of the

castor arm. Put the 2 shims (1/8 inch) onto the
spindle shaft as they were originally installed.
These shims are required to achieve a level
across the entire width of the cutting units. Slide
the appropriate number of 1/2 inch spacers onto
the spindle shaft to get the desired height-of-cut;
then slide the washer onto the shaft.

Refer to

Figure 7

and

Figure 8

to determine the

combinations of spacers for the setting.
