Transporting Machines; Side Discharge Or Mulch Grass; Adjusting Height-Of-Cut - Toro 30332 Operator's Manual

Transporting Machines

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine.
Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary lighting
and marking as required by law. Please carefully read all
the safety instructions. Knowing this information could
help you, your family, pets or bystanders avoid injury.
To transport the machine:
Lock brake and block wheels.
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with
straps, chains, cable, or ropes.
Secure a trailer to towing vehicle with safety chains.

Side Discharge or Mulch 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 will cause injury or
death.
Never 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 discharge area or mower
blades unless you release the bail and the power
take off (PTO) is off. Rotate the ignition key to
"OFF." Also remove the key and pull the wire
off the spark plug(s).

Adjusting Height-of-Cut

The height-of-cut can be adjusted from 1 to 4-1/2 in.
(25 to 115 mm) in 1/4 in. (6 mm) increments. Adjustment
is done by relocating four hairpin cotter pins in different
hole location and by adding or removing spacers.
Note: Rear height–of–cut pins need at least one spacer or
damage can occur to bushing if none are used.
1. To adjust, remove hairpin cotter from height-of-cut
post (Fig. 17).
2. Select hole in height-of-cut post corresponding to the
height-of-cut desired (Fig. 17).
3. Lift on side of deck and remove hairpin cotter
(Fig. 17).
4. Add or remove spacers if needed and then align holes
and insert hairpin cotter (Fig. 17).
Note: Spare height–of–cut spacers may be stored on posts
and retained by a hairpin cotter.
Important All four hairpin cotter pins must be in the
same hole location and with the correct number of spacers
for a level cut.
