Adjusting The Cutting Height; Using The Grass Bag - Toro ProLine Recycler 22045 Operator's Manual

Test Using the Grass Bag
You can use the grass bag to perform an additional test to
check the blade brake clutch mechanism:
1. Install the empty grass bag on the discharge tunnel.
2. Start the engine.
3. Push the control bar (Fig. 12) down to its lowest
position.
4. Lift the control bar to the normal blade engaged
position about one inch (2.5 cm) below the handle.
The bag should begin to inflate, indicating that the
blade is engaged and rotating.
5. Release the control bar. If the bag does not
immediately deflate, it indicates that the blade is still
rotating. The blade brake clutch mechanism may be
deteriorating, and, if ignored, could result in an unsafe
operating condition. Have the lawn mower inspected
and serviced by an Authorized Service Dealer.

The cutting height is adjustable from approximately / to
3- / inches (19 to 83 mm) in / -inch (12.7 mm)
