Maintenance; Recommended Maintenance Schedule - Toro Super Recycler 20030 Operator's Manual

Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath
with each pass.
Set the height-of-cut on the front wheels one notch
lower than the rear wheels. (example: set the front
wheels at the 2 inch setting and the rear wheels at the
2.5 inch setting)
Cutting Leaves
When cutting is complete, ensure that 50% of the grass
blades show through the cut leaf cover. This may
require one or more passes over the leaves.

Position all wheels at the same height-of-cut setting.
Walk at a slower mowing speed if the leaves are not
being cut up finely enough to be hidden in the grass.
If you cut up a lot of oak leaves, add lime to your grass
in the spring. Lime reduces the acidity of the leaves.
