Inspecting the Mower Blades
1. Inspect the mower blades regularly and whenever a
blade strikes a foreign object.
2. If blades are badly worn or damaged, install new blades.
Refer to your machine Operator's Manual for complete
blade maintenance.
Installing the Mower Blades
In most mowing conditions, the standard high lift blades will
provide the best bagging performance.
The Toro Atomic blade is recommended for bagging leaves
in dry conditions. In dry dusty conditions, the medium lift
or low lift blades will reduce dust and dirt blowout while
providing effective bagging air flow.
Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for the proper blades
for different mowing conditions.
Refer to the machines Operator's Manual for more information
on installing blades.

catcher.
