Converting to Side Discharge

The mower deck and mower blades shipped with
this machine were designed for optimum mulching
performance. Side discharge performance can be
improved by replacing the mulching blades with
standard cutting blades obtained from your local
authorized Toro dealer. To maintain optimum mulching
performance, always install the mulching blades that are
shipped with this unit when changing back to mulching
operation.
