Maintenance

Checking the Tire Pressure

Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires
as specified. Uneven tire pressure can cause uneven
cut. Check the pressure at the valve stem after every
50 operating hours or monthly, whichever occurs first
(Figure 36 ). Check the tires when they are cold to get
the most accurate pressure reading.
Rear Tires: 13 psi (90 kPa)
Front Tires (castor wheels): 35 psi (139 kPa)

Mower Maintenance

Servicing the Cutting Blades

The Toro bullhorn logo (Figure 37 ) is a registered
trademark of the Toro Company. It identifies the
component it appears on as a genuine Toro part. The
logo, depicted below, appears on genuine Toro cutting
blades.
Figure 37
Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting season
because sharp blades cut cleanly without tearing or
shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding
turns grass brown at the edges, which slows growth
and increases the chance of disease.
Check the cutter blades daily for sharpness, and for
any wear or damage. File down any nicks and sharpen
the blades as necessary. If a blade is damaged or worn,
replace it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement
blade. For convenient sharpening and replacement,
you may want to keep extra blades on hand.
A worn or damaged blade can break, and a piece
of the blade could be thrown into the operator's
or bystander's area, resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
•
Inspect the blade periodically for wear or
damage.

Replace a worn or damaged blade.
