Removing the Blades
The blades must be replaced if a solid object is hit, if
the blade is out of balance, or if the blade is bent. For
best performance and continued safety conformance
of the machine, use genuine Toro replacement blades.
Replacement blades made by other manufacturers
may result in non-conformance with safety standards.
1. Hold the blade end using a rag or thickly padded
glove.
2. Remove the blade bolt, curved washer, and
blade from the spindle shaft (
Figure 57 ).

Sharpening the Blades
1. Use a file to sharpen the cutting edge at both
ends of the blade (
Figure 58 ).
Note:
Maintain the original angle.
Note:
The blade retains its balance if the same
amount of material is removed from both cutting
edges.

1. Sharpen at original angle.
2. Check the balance of the blade by putting it on a
blade balancer (
Figure 59 ).
Note:
If the blade stays in a horizontal position,
the blade is balanced and can be used.
Note:
If the blade is not balanced, file some
metal off the end of the sail area only ( Figure 58 ).

3. Repeat this procedure until the blade is
balanced.
Installing the Blades
1. Install the blade onto the spindle shaft ( Figure
57 ).
Important:
The curved part of the blade
must be pointing upward toward the inside
of the mower to ensure proper cutting.
2. Install the curved washer (cupped side toward
the blade) and the blade bolt (
Figure 57 ).
3. Torque the blade bolt to 135 to 150 N∙m (100
to 110 ft-lb).
