shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding turns
grass brown at the edges, which slows growth and
increases the chance of disease.
Check the cutter blades daily for sharpness, and for any
wear or damage. File down any nicks and sharpen the
blades as necessary. If a blade is damaged or worn,
replace it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement
blade. For convenient sharpening and replacement, you
may want to keep extra blades on hand.
A worn or damaged blade can break, and a
piece of the blade could be thrown into the
operator’s or bystander’s area, resulting in
serious personal injury or death.
•
Inspect the blade periodically for wear or
damage.
•
Replace a worn or damaged blade.
Inspect and check the blades every 8 hours.
Before Inspecting or Servicing the
Blades
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the
blade control (PTO), and set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition key to Off and remove the key.
3. Disconnect the spark plug wire(s) from the spark
plug(s).
Inspecting the Blades
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
1. Inspect the cutting edges (Figure 72).
If the edges are not sharp or have nicks, remove and
sharpen the blades. Refer to Sharpening the Blades.

Curved Area
2. Inspect the blades, especially the curved area
(Figure 72).
If you notice any damage, wear, or a slot forming in
this area (Figure 72), immediately install a new blade.
Checking for Bent Blades
1. Rotate the blades until the ends face forward and
backward (Figure 73). Measure from a level surface
to the cutting edge, position
A
, of the blades
(Figure 73). Note this dimension.

2. Rotate the opposite ends of the blades forward.
3. Measure from a level surface to the cutting edge of
the blades at the same position as in step 1 above.
The difference between the dimensions obtained in
steps 1 and 2 must not exceed 1/8 inch (3 mm). If
this dimension exceeds 1/8 inch (3 mm), the blade
