Inspect the mower blades regularly and

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
