Inspecting the Mower Blades
1.
Inspect the mower blades regularly and whenever a
blade strikes a foreign object.
2.
If blades are badly worn or damaged, install new blades.
Refer to your machine
Operator's Manual
for complete
blade maintenance.
Choosing the Mower Blades
In most mowing conditions, the standard high lift blades will
provide the best bagging performance.
Use a Toro Atomic blade for bagging leaves in dry conditions.
In dry dusty conditions, the medium lift or low lift blades
will reduce dust and dirt blowout while providing effective
bagging air flow.
Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for the proper blades
for different mowing conditions.
Refer to the mower
Operator's Manual
for more information
on installing blades.
Replacing the Grass Deflector
WARNING
An uncovered discharge opening could allow
the lawn mower to throw objects toward you or
bystanders, resulting in serious injury. Also, contact
with the blade could occur.
•
Never operate the lawn mower unless you install
a cover plate, a mulch plate, or a grass deflector
and a bagger.
•
Ensure that the grass deflector is in the down
position.
