Side Discharging Or Mulching The Grass; Adjusting The Height-Of-Cut - Toro 74523 Operator's Manual

Side Discharging or Mulching
the Grass
This mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
DANGER
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris cause injury or death.
• Do not remove the grass deflector from
the mower, because the grass deflector
routes material down toward the turf. If the
grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never try to clear the discharge area or mower
blades unless you release the bail and the power
takeoff (PTO) is off. Rotate the ignition key
to the O position. Also remove the key and
FF
disconnect the wire(s) off the spark plug(s).

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

The height-of-cut can be adjusted from 38 to 127 mm (1-1/2
to 5 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments.
Note: Using a height-of-cut under 51 mm (2 inches) increases
the wear on the mower-deck belt. Use a height-of-cut that is
greater than 51 mm (2 inches) whenever possible.
