Using The Side Discharge; Adjusting The Height-Of-Cut; Adjusting The Handle Height - Toro 30092 Operator's Manual

Using the Side Discharge

This mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover,
or complete grass catcher assembly mounted
in place, you and others are exposed to blade
contact and thrown debris. Contact with
rotating mower blade(s) and thrown debris will
cause injury or death.
• Never remove the grass deflector from
the mower because the grass deflector
routes material down toward the turf. If the
grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the
mower.
• Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you release the bail and the
blade control switch (PTO) is off. Rotate the
ignition key to Off. Also remove the key and
pull the wire off the spark plug(s).

to 127 mm) and is adjustable in 1/2 inch (13 mm)
