Sharpening the Blade

File the top side of the blade to maintain its original

cutting angle (Fig. 22A) and inner cutting edge radius

(Fig. 22B). The blade will remain balanced if you remove

the same amount of material from both cutting edges.

Balancing the Blade

1. Check the balance of the blade by placing the center

hole of the blade over a nail or screwdriver shank

clamped horizontally in a vise (Fig. 23).

Note: You can also check the balance using a

commercially manufactured blade balancer.

2. If either end of the blade rotates downward, file that

end (not the cutting edge or the end near the cutting

edge). The blade is properly balanced when neither

end drops.

Installing the Blade

1. Install a sharp, balanced Toro blade, the accelerator,

the lock washer, and the blade bolt. The sail of the

blade must point toward the top of the lawn mower

housing for proper installation. Torque the blade bolt

to 50 ft-lb (68 N m).
