Using The Grass Bag - Toro 20833 Operator's Manual

Toro recommends the following:
Cut the grass at the D, E, or F settings or keep the grass
between 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) high.
Do not cut below the D setting unless the grass is sparse
or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down.
When you cut long grass, use a higher cutting height
setting and walk slower; then cut the grass again at a
normal setting. Mowing the grass when it is too long
can plug the lawn mower and cause the engine to stall.
Note: The SmartWheel calculates the proper setting to
ensure that you cut no more than a third of the grass blade.
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Move the lawn mower into the grass; stop moving the
lawn mower when the SmartWheel design on one of the
rear wheels is upright (Fig. 12).
3. Use the SmartWheel design to compare the tips of the
grass blades to the letters on the wheel. The letter on the
SmartWheel that matches the tips of the grass blades is
the proper cutting height.
4. Press down on the red button and hold the cutting
height adjustment handle to move the cutting height up
or down (Fig. 13).
