Side Discharging Or Mulching The Grass; Adjusting The Height-Of-Cut - Toro GrandStand 74534TE Operator's Manual

Important: Do Not attempt to turn the unit while
on the ramp; you may lose control and drive off
the side.
Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a ramp and
sudden deceleration when backing down a ramp. Both
maneuvers can cause the unit to tip backward.
WARNING
Loading a unit onto a trailer or truck increases the
possibility of backward tip-over and could cause
serious injury or death.
• Use extreme caution when operating a unit on
a ramp.
• Use only a single, full width ramp; Do Not use
individual ramps for each side of the unit.
• If individual ramps must be used, use enough
ramps to create an unbroken ramp surface
wider than the unit.
• Do not exceed a 15 degree angle between ramp
and ground or between ramp and trailer or
truck.
• Avoid sudden acceleration while driving unit up
a ramp to avoid tipping backward.
• Avoid sudden deceleration while backing unit
down a ramp to avoid tipping backward.

Side Discharging or Mulching
the 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(s)
off the spark plug(s).

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

The height-of-cut can be adjusted from 1 to 5 inches
(25 to 127 mm) in 1/4 inch (6 mm) increments.
1. Move the height-of-cut lever to the transport
position (all the way up).
2. To adjust, rotate the pin 90 degrees and remove the
pin from the height-of-cut bracket
3. Select a hole in the height-of-cut bracket
corresponding to the height-of-cut desired and,
insert the pin (Figure 28).
4. Push the button on top and lower the height-of-cut
lever to the pin (Figure 28).
