Servicing the Cutting Blades
Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting
season because sharp blades cut cleanly without
tearing or shredding the grass blades. Tearing and
shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which
slows growth and increases the chance of disease.
Check the blades daily for sharpness, and for
any wear or damage. Sharpen the blades as
necessary. If a blade is damaged or worn, replace
it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement
blade.
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. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control
levers to the neutral locked position and set
the parking brake.
2. Move the throttle lever to the Slow position,
stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for
all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
Inspecting the Blades
1. Inspect the cutting edges (Figure 71). If the
edges are not sharp or have nicks, remove and
sharpen the blades. Refer to Sharpening the
Blades.
2. Inspect the blades, especially the curved area
(Figure 71). If you notice any damage, wear,
or a slot forming in this area (Figure 71),
immediately install a new blade.
