Using The Grass Bag - Toro 20789 Operator's Manual

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Adjusting height-of-cut levers could bring
hands into contact with moving blade.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with moving blade could cause serious
personal injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not adjust height-of-cut settings when
engine is running and blade is rotating.
Do not put fingers under housing to lift mower
when adjusting height-of-cut levers.
1. Before starting the engine, move the lawn mower onto
the grass. Stop moving the lawn mower when the
letters on the SmartWheel
wheel are upright (Fig. 15).
2. Use the SmartWheel design (Fig. 15) 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.
3. Squeeze the lawn mower's height-of-cut lever toward
the wheel and move it to the corresponding letter on
the lawn mower housing (Fig. 16).

engages the slot in the housing.
5. Adjust all the wheels to the same letter setting.
Note: You can adjust the front wheels to 1/2 in. (1.3 cm).
Move the height-of-cut lever past A and release the pin
