5.1 Checking the cutter for damages
Stop the motor, wait until the cutters stand still and
remove the spark plug connector, when working on the
mower. Danger of injury!
After the mower has hit against a hard object as e. g. a stone,
proceed as follows:
• Turn the mower off and remove the spark plug connector
• Lay mower on the correct side (carburetor on top) (Fig. 27).

• Carefully check the cutting edge of the cutters for defects.
Bent or damaged cutters must not be used any longer. They
have to be replaced.
Use only original TORO cutters. They have been designed
especially for this unit and guarantee a perfect performance,
safety and a long service life.
Have dull cutters sharpened.
For safety reasons a resharpening may be executed only up to the
mark (Fig. 28).
If the same cutter is in use for too long, this might lead
to wear and changes of the cutter section. A break of
the cutter can be the consequence, and parts of the
cutter can be hurled away.
Operate the mower only with perfect cutters!
Only use original TORO spare parts or parts released by TORO.
