B. Setting Cutting Unit Attitude
The front brackets have  3 fixed positions for setting
cutting unit attitude  within the same  height–of–cut range
(Fig 7).  Each  change in position changes the  cutting unit
attitude by 3 degrees.   The positions are:
Important
Cutting unit  “attitude” has a significant
impact on the  performance of the cutting  unit. Attitude
refers to the angle  of the bedknife relative to  the ground
(Fig. 7). Adjustable front  and rear brackets allow for
variable adjustment of  cutting unit attitude  within the
height-of-cut range. All  cutting units on a  given machine
must be set  to the same attitude, otherwise  after-cut
appearance could be  negatively affected.
Position A: Very Aggressive
Position B: Aggressive  (Normal)
Position C: Less Aggressive
Adjustable Front Height Of  Cut Kit, Toro Part No.
104–8205,
allows for variable  adjustment of cutting unit
attitude within  the height–of–cut range.
The best cutting unit  attitude is dependent on your  turf
conditions and desired  results.  Experience with the
cutting unit on your  turf will determine the best  setting to
use.
In general, less  aggressive attitudes (position C) are  more
appropriate for warm  season grasses (Bermuda, Zoysia)
while cool season grasses  (Bluegrass, Rye, Bent) may
require more aggressive attitudes  (position B or A).   More
aggressive attitudes cut  more grass off by allowing the
spinning reel to pull  more grass up into the bedknife.   An
angle that is too  flat (attitude less than 1  degree) may
allow the bedbar or  other parts of the cutting unit  to drag
in the turf  causing tufting.  Therefore,  minimum
recommended attitude is  1 degree.
