To side discharge or use bagging attachment, stop
engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Then
remove the wing nut securing the discharge cover
(Fig. 10) to the mower housing.
&$ Save the discharge cover and
wing nut for possible future reinstallation.
For improved bagger performance change to high
sail blade and remove Recycler r kickers.
If you no longer wish to side discharge or bag clipĆ
pings, the discharge cover can be reinstalled by seĆ
curing it the mower housing with the wing nut.

Your Toro Recycler r rider has a new and completely
different cutting concept. It leaves your lawn with a
bagged look without bagging clippings.
The rider is equipped with special parts (Fig. 10)
which increase your rider's ability to cut and recut
grass clippings, leaves, and other yard debris into
tiny particles which are injected down into the grass.
These parts are:
D Deck ring
D Special blade and blade stiffener
D Discharge cover
D Four special kickers" positioned on the underĆ
side of the mower deck in strategic positions. (A fifth
kicker is molded into the discharge cover.)

Even with the Recycler r rider, you may encounter
conditions where it is not possible to incorporate all
of the grass clippings or leaves all of the time into
the grass. Follow these instructions for the best cutĆ
ting results and lawn appearance:
D Always use FAST (full) throttle when mowing.
D Maintain a .%-, (!" throughout the cutting
season. A sharp blade cuts cleanly and without tearĆ
ing or shredding the grass blades like a dull blade.
Tearing and shredding causes the grass to turn
brown at the edges which impairs growth and inĆ
creases susceptibility to diseases. About every 30
days, remove the wire from the spark plug and
check the cutter blade for sharpness. File down any
nicks on blade to restore its sharp edge.
D Clean any residue from the underside of the rider
housing and kickers after each use. If residue is alĆ
lowed to build up in rider housing and on kickers,
cutting performance may be unsatisfactory.
D Very long or extremely wet grass can be cut, but
specific operating techniques must be used. Start by
setting heightĆofĆcut in the highest position. Using
1st gear and maximum throttle speed, move into the
grass and cut a swath that is only half as wide as the
mower housing. If side discharging, direct grass clipĆ
pings toward area that was cut previously. Stop forĆ
ward movement occasionally to allow discharge area
to clear itself. Cutting too much grass may clog the
mower housing and discharge area. If mower housĆ
ing does clog, shut engine off, disengage blade and
remove the obstruction with a stick.
