Servicing the Blade

Always mow with a sharp blade. As sharp blade cuts the
grass evenly, without tearing or shredding the grass.
When you replace the blade, use only geniune Toro
replacement blades.
WARNING
Someone could accidentally start the motor
and cause a serious injury to the operator or to
bystanders.
Do not attempt to inspect, remove, or replace the
blade without first disconnecting the mower from
the power source.
1. Stop the motor and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Disconnect the mower from the electrical power
source.
3. Tip the mower onto its side.
4. Carefully examine the blade for sharpness and wear,
especially where the flat and curved parts of the
blade meet. If you notice wear, replace the blade.
Note: For best performance, install a new blade
before the mowing season begins. During the
season, file down small nicks on the blade to
maintain its cutting edge.
DANGER
A worn or damaged blade could break and a
piece of blade could be thrown in the operator's
or bystander's direction, causing serious personal
injury or death.
Inspect the blade periodically for wear or damage,
and replace a worn or damaged blade.

Removing the Blade

1. Grasp the end of the blade (Figure 24) with a rag
or thickly padded glove.

2. Remove the blade bolt and the blade.
Important: If the blade adapter comes off,
ensure that you install it before installing the
blade and blade bolt. Operating the mower
without the blade adapter will damage the
mower.

Sharpening the Blade

Use a file to sharpen the top side of the blade and
maintain the original cutting angle.
Note: The blade will remain balanced if you remove
the same amount of material from both cutting edges.
Important: Check the balance of the blade by
putting it on a blade balancer. You can purchase
an inexpensive balancer at a hardware store. A
balanced blade stays in a horizontal position; an
unbalanced blade settles to the heavy side. If the
blade is not balanced, file more metal off the cutting
edge on the heavy end of the blade.

Installing the Blade

Install a sharp, balanced blade and the blade bolt. The
sail part of the blade must point toward the top of the
mower housing to ensure correct installation. Tighten
the blade bolt to 15 N-m.
