Replacing The Fuse; Replacing The Blade - Toro Recycler 20332 Operator's Manual

Replacing the Fuse

Electric-start model only
If the battery does not charge or the engine does not turn
with the electric starter, the fuse may be blown; replace it
with a 40-amp plug-in type fuse; refer to 3 Installing the Fuse
(page 6).

Replacing the Blade

Service Interval: Yearly
Important: You will need a torque wrench to install the
blade properly. If you do not have a torque wrench or are
uncomfortable performing this procedure, contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.
Examine the blade whenever you run out of gasoline. If the
blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately. If the
blade edge is dull or nicked, have it sharpened and balanced,
or replace it.
WARNING
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result
in serious personal injury.
Wear gloves when servicing the blade.
1. Refer to Preparing for Maintenance (page 15).
2. Tip the machine onto its side with the dipstick down.
3. Use a block of wood to hold the blade steady (Figure
27).
4. Remove the blade, saving all mounting hardware
(Figure 27).
5. Install the new blade and all mounting hardware
(Figure 28).

Important: Position the curved ends of the blade
to point toward the mower housing.
6. Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt to 82
N-m (60 ft-lb).
Important: A bolt torqued to 82 N-m (60 ft-lb) is
very tight. While holding the blade with a block
of wood, put your weight behind the ratchet or
wrench and tighten the bolt securely. This bolt is
very difficult to overtighten.
