4.
Rotate the opposite ends of the blades forward.
5.
Measure from a level surface to the cutting edge of
the blades at the same position as in step 3 above.
The difference between the dimensions obtained in
steps 3 and 4 must not exceed 3 mm (1/8 inch). If
this dimension exceeds 3 mm (1/8 inch), the blade is
bent and replace it; refer to Removing the Blades and
Installing the Blades.
WARNING
A blade that is bent or damaged could break
apart and could seriously injure or kill you or
bystanders.
•
Always replace bent or damaged blade
with a new blade.
•
Never file or create sharp notches in the
edges or surfaces of blade.
Removing the Blades
Important:
The right-hand blade on this mower deck
is counter-rotating and uses a left-hand threaded blade
bolt. Use Figure 90 for the correct placement of the
mower blades.
Replace the blades if a solid object is hit, if the blade is out
of balance or is bent. To ensure optimum performance and
continued safety conformance of the machine, use genuine
Toro replacement blades. Replacement blades made by other
manufacturers may result in non-conformance with safety
standards.
1.
Hold the blade end using a rag or thickly-padded glove.
2.
Remove the left and center blade bolt, curved washer,
and blade from the spindle shaft (Figure 89).
3.
Remove the right blade bolt (left-hand threaded bolt),
curved washer, and blade from the spindle shaft (Figure
90).
Note:
Make note of the type blade and where each
blade is installed. See Figure 90 for the correct position.
