•
•
For best performance, install a new blade before the
cutting season begins.
Replace the blade when necessary with a Toro
replacement blade.
CuttingGrass
Figure29
•
Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time. Do
not cut below the 2-inch (51 mm) setting unless the
grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins
to slow down. Refer to Adjusting the Cutting Height.
2.
Lift open the side discharge door (Figure 30).
•
When cutting grass over 6 inches (15 cm) tall, mow
at the highest cutting height setting and walk slower;
then mow again at a lower setting for the best lawn
appearance. If the grass is too long, the mower may
plug and cause the engine to stall.
Figure30
•
Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves tend
to clump on the yard and can cause the mower to plug
or the engine to stall.
3.
Install the side discharge chute and close the door onto
the chute (Figure 31).
Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if
you slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dry
conditions.
•
•
Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the
clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.
Figure31
If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try one
or more of the following:
RemovingtheSideDischargeChute
To remove the side discharge chute, reverse the steps above.
– Replace the blade or have it sharpened.
– Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
Important: Lock the side discharge door after you
close it (Figure 32).
–
–
–
Raise the cutting height on your mower.
Cut the grass more frequently.
Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full
swath with each pass.
–
Set the cutting height on the front wheels one
notch lower than the rear wheels. For example, set
the front wheels at 2 inches (51 mm) and the rear
wheels at 2-3/8 inches (60 mm).

GeneralMowingTips
•
•
•
After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn
shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need to
make more than one pass over the leaves.
•
•
•
Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and
other debris that the blade could hit.
If there are more than 5 inches (13 cm) of leaves on the
lawn, set the front cutting height one or two notches
higher than the rear cutting height.
Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never
deliberately mow over any object.
If the mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire from
the spark plug, and examine the mower for damage.
Slow down your mowing speed if the mower does not
cut the leaves finely enough.
