After Operation; Clearing The Discharge Chute - Toro 75501 Manual

Keeping the Underside of the
Mower Deck Clean
Clean clippings and dirt from the underside of the
mower deck after each use. If grass and dirt build up
inside the mower deck, cutting quality will eventually
become unsatisfactory.
Important:
Do not use water to clean the mower
deck, otherwise you could damage the electric
motors.
Maintaining the Blade(s)
Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season
because a sharp blade cuts cleanly without tearing or
shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding
turns grass brown at the edges, which slows growth
and increases the chance of disease. Check the
mower blades after each use for sharpness, and
for any wear or damage. File down any nicks and
sharpen the blades as necessary. If a blade is
damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a
genuine Toro replacement blade.
Mulching Grass
The mulching blade cuts the grass clippings multiple
times and reduces their size so that as they fall onto
the lawn, they disperse into the grass and is less
noticeable. The mulched grass biodegrades more
quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn.
Certain types of grass and grass conditions may
require mulching an area a second time to hide the
clippings. On the second cut path, mow perpendicular
to the first cut path.
