Inspecting the Mower Blades

1. Inspect the mower blades regularly and
whenever a blade strikes a foreign object.
2. If blades are badly worn or damaged, install
new blades. Refer to your mower Operator's
Manual for complete blade maintenance.

Installing the Mower Blades

In most mowing conditions, the standard high lift
blades will provide the best bagging performance.
The Toro Atomic blade is recommended for
bagging leaves in dry conditions. In dry dusty
conditions, the medium lift or low lift blades will
reduce dust and dirt blowout while providing
effective bagging air flow.
Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for the
proper blades for different mowing conditions.
Refer to the mower Operator's Manual for more
information on installing blades.
Installing the Grass
Deector
An uncovered discharge opening could
allow the lawn mower to throw objects in
the operator's or bystander's direction and
result in serious injury. Also, contact with
the blade could occur.
• Never operate the lawn mower unless
you install a cover plate, a mulch plate, or
a grass chute and catcher.
• Make sure the grass deflector is in the
down position.
1. Remove the locknut, bolt, spring and spacer
holding the deflector to the pivot brackets
(Figure 38).
2. Remove the damaged or worn grass deflector.
3. Place the spacer and spring onto the grass
deflector. Place the L end of the spring behind
the deck edge.
Note: Make sure the L end of the spring is
installed behind the deck edge before installing
the bolt as shown in Figure 38
4. Install the bolt and nut.
5. Place the J hook end of the spring around the
grass deflector (Figure 38).
Important: The grass deflector must be
able to lower down into position. Lift the
deflector up to test that it lowers into the
full down position.
