Pulling Mower Rearward; Adjusting Cutting Height - Toro SR-21P Super Recycler Manuel De L'utilisateur

Ground speed can be varied by increasing or
decreasing distance between control bar and handle.
Lower control bar to slow mower when making a turn
or if mower is moving too fast for you. If you lower
control bar too far, the mower will stop
self-propelling. Squeeze control bar closer to handle
to increase ground speed. When control bar is tight
against handle, mower will self-propel at maximum
ground speed. Move ground speed control to
N (NEUTRAL) when using the mower for trimming
and whenever leaving mower.

Pulling Mower Rearward

(Self-propelled models only)
Your mower is equipped with free-wheeling clutches
which make it easier to pull the mower rearward. The
control bar must be lowered enough to disengage the
self-propelled drive and disengage the clutches before
pulling the mower rearward. The mower may need to
be pushed forward one inch or more after control bar
has been released to disengage the self-propelled
drive and disengage the clutches.
For example, if you are approaching an object such as
a tree or bush from which you want to pull back the
mower, lower the control bar just enough to
disengage the traction drive when the mower is about
six inches away from the object. The momentum of
the mower should carry it forward at least one inch
which will disengage the clutches. Then you should
be able to easily pull the mower rearward.
The self-propelled cable should be properly adjusted
so that you can lower the control bar comfortably to
stop the traction drive without stopping the engine.
See Self-propelled Cable section in the Maintenance
chapter for cable adjustment information. If you need
help, see your Authorized Toro Service Dealer.

Adjusting Cutting Height

Height of cut can be adjusted to five settings
(Fig. 12). For normal cutting, set all four wheels in
the same position.
1. Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop. Pull wire off spark plug (Fig. 7).
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Adjusting height-of-cut levers could bring
hands into contact with moving blade.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with rotating blade can cause
serious injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Stop engine and wait for all movement to
stop before adjusting cutting height.
Do not put fingers under housing when
adjusting height-of-cut.
2. For easier adjustment, lift housing up so wheel is
off ground. Do not place hands under deck
when lifting housing. Squeeze adjusting lever
toward wheel and move it to the desired setting
(Fig. 12). Ensure pin on adjusting lever engages
hole in bracket.
Note: Front wheels can be adjusted to 1/2
inch. Move adjusting lever past "A"
and release pin into slot in housing. It
is not recommended that the 1/2 inch
height-of-cut setting be used on a
regular basis.
