Side Discharging Or Mulching The Grass; Adjusting The Height Of Cut - Toro 30672 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 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 power
take off (PTO) is off. Rotate the ignition key to
Off. Also remove the key and pull the wires off
the spark plug(s).

Adjusting the Height of Cut

This machine has a 26 to 108 mm (1 to 4-1/4 inch) range for
the height-of-cut. This can be achieved by adjusting blade
spacers, rear axle height, and front caster spacers. Use the
Height-of-Cut Chart to select the combination of adjustments
required.
Adjusting the Blade Height
Adjust the blades by using the 4 spacers (6 mm) (1/4 inch),
on the blade spindle bolts. This allows for a 25 mm (1-inch)
adjustment range, in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments, of cutting
