Refer to the Operator's Manual for the machine to adjust the
parking brake.
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 reduces 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.

catcher.
