Cutting Blade Removal and Installation

The blade must be replaced if a solid object is hit, the blade is out–of–balance or if the blade is bent. Always use genuine TORO replacement blades to be sure of safety and optimum performance. Never use replace- ment blades made by other manufacturers because they could be dangerous.

1.Lock transport levers, raise cutting unit to highest position, shut the engine off and engage the parking brake.

2.Grasp end of blade using a rag or thickly padded glove. Remove blade bolt, anti–scalp cup and blade from spindle shaft.

3.Install blade (sail facing (up) toward cutting unit) with anti–scalp cup and blade bolt. Tighten blade bolt to 85–110 ft–lb (12 – 15 Kgm).

WARNING

Do not try to straighten a blade that is bent, and never weld a broken or cracked blade. Always use a new blade to assure continued safety certifica- tion of the product.
