position A, of the blades (Figure 56). Note this
dimension.

3. Rotate the opposite ends of the blades forward.
4. Measure from a level surface to the cutting edge of the
blades at the same position as in step 1. The difference
between the dimensions obtained in steps 1 and 2
must not exceed 3 mm (1/8 inch). If this dimension
exceeds 3 mm (1/8 inch), the blade is bent and must be
replaced. Refer to Removing the Blades and Installing
the Blades.
WARNING
A blade that is bent or damaged could break
apart and could seriously injure or kill you or
bystanders.
• Always replace bent or damaged blade
with a new blade.
• Never file or create sharp notches in the
edges or surfaces of blade.

Removing the Blades

Replace the blades if you hit a solid object or if the blades are
out of balance or bent. To ensure optimum performance and
continued safety conformance of the machine, use genuine
Toro replacement blades. Replacement blades made by other
manufacturers may result in non-conformance with safety
standards.
