Checking the Blade Brake
Clutch System
If your mower has a BBC (Blade Brake Clutch) safety
system, the grass bag can be used to check for BBC
system deterioration. (For additional BBC tests, refer to
your operator's manual.)
1. Install the empty grass bag on the discharge tunnel.
2. Push the control bar down to the lowest position
(Fig. 8).

3. Lift the control bar to the normal "blade engaged
position, about 2" below the handle. The bag should
begin to inflate which indicates the blade is engaged
and rotating.
4. Release the control bar. If the bag does not
immediately deflate, it indicates that the blade is still
rotating and deterioration of the Blade Brake Clutch
mechanism may have occurred, which could result in
an unsafe operating condition. Have mower inspected
by an Authorized Toro Service Dealer.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Always ensure that the discharge tunnel door closes when
the handle is released. If debris prevents the discharge
door from closing, clean the inside of the discharge tunnel
and door thoroughly. Perform all cleaning procedures
described in the Operator's Manual.
