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

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 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
takeoff (PTO) is off. Rotate the ignition key
to the O position. Also remove the key and
