Mower Maintenance Pivoting (Tilting) the Front Cutting Unit Upright Adjusting the Transport Latch Note: Although not needed for normal maintenance procedures, the front cutting unit can be pivoted (tilted) If the transport latch (Figure 80) has to be adjusted, to an upright position (Figure 82). Should you desire to adjust as follows: tilt the cutting unit, proceed as follows: 1.
Cutting unit pitch is the difference in height-of-cut from the front of the blade plane to the back of the blade plane. Toro recommends a blade pitch of 1/4 inch (6 mm). That is the back of the blade plane is 1/4 inch (6 mm) higher than the front.
