Side Discharging Or Mulching The Grass; Adjusting The Height-Of-Cut - Toro 74534TE GrandStand Operator's Manual

WARNING
Loading a unit onto a trailer or truck increases the
possibility of backward tip-over, and could cause
serious injury or death.
• Use extreme caution when operating a unit on
a ramp.
• Use only a single, full-width ramp; do not use
individual ramps for each side of the unit.
• If individual ramps must be used, use enough
ramps to create an unbroken ramp surface wider
than the unit.
• Do not exceed a 15-degree angle between ramp
and ground, or between a ramp, a trailer, or a
truck.
• Avoid sudden acceleration while driving unit up
a ramp to avoid tipping backward.
• Avoid sudden deceleration while backing unit
down a ramp to avoid tipping backward.

Side Discharging or Mulching
the Grass
This mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
DANGER
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.
• Do not 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 the discharge area or mower
blades unless you release the bail and the power
take off (PTO) is off. Rotate the ignition key to
the Off position. Also remove the key and pull
the wire(s) off the spark plug(s).

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

The height-of-cut can be adjusted from 25 to 127 mm (1 to 5
inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments.
1. Move the height-of-cut lever to the transport position
(all the way up).
2. To adjust, rotate the pin 90 degrees and remove the pin
from the height-of-cut bracket.
3. Select a hole in the height-of-cut bracket corresponding
to the height-of-cut desired and insert the pin (Figure
28).
4. Push the button on top and lower the height-of-cut
lever to the pin (Figure 28).
