the appropriate number of 1/2 inch spacers onto
the spindle shaft to get the desired height of cut;
then slide the washer onto the shaft.
Note:
When using 25 mm (1 inch), 38 mm
(1-1/2 inch), or occasionally 51 mm (2 inch)
height of cut, move the skids and roller to the
highest holes.
4. Secure the adjustment with the tensioning cap.

Adjusting the Skid(s)

Mount the skids in the lower position when operating
in a 64 mm (2-1/2 inch) or higher cutting height and in
the higher position when operating in a cutting height
lower than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches).
Note:
When the skids become worn, you can switch
the skids to the opposite sides of the mower, flipping
them over. This will allow you to use the skids longer
before replacing them.
1. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
2. Move the throttle lever to the Slow position,
stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for
all moving parts to stop before leaving the

mower.

Mount the rollers in the lower position when operating
in height of cuts higher than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches) and

Leveling Front to Back
Cutting unit pitch is the difference in height of cut
from the front of the blade plane to the back of the
blade plane. Toro recommends a blade pitch of
approximately 8 to 11 mm (5/16 to 7/16 inch). This
means the back of the blade plane is 8 to 11 mm (5/16
to 7/16 inch) higher than the front.
1. Position the machine on a level surface on the
shop floor.
2. Set the mower to the desired height of cut, move
the throttle lever to the Slow position, stop the
engine, set the parking brake, and remove the
ignition key.
3. Rotate the center blade so that it points straight
forward.
