Figure 18
Important: When you release the blade-control bar,
the blade should stop within 3 seconds. If it does not
stop properly, stop using your machine immediately and
contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Checking the
Blade-brake-clutch Operation
Check the control bar before each use to ensure that the
blade-brake-clutch system is operating properly.
Using the Grass Bag
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
You can use the grass bag to perform an additional test to
check the blade-brake clutch.
1. Install the empty grass bag on the machine.
2. Start the engine.
3. Engage the blade.
Note: The bag should begin to inflate, indicating that
the blade is engaged and rotating.
4. Release the blade-control bar.
Note: If the bag does not immediately deflate, the
blade is still rotating. The blade-brake clutch may be
deteriorating and, if ignored, could result in an unsafe
operating condition. Have the machine inspected and
serviced by an Authorized Service Dealer.
5. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Not Using the Grass Bag
1. Move the machine onto a paved surface in a non-windy
area.
2. Set all 4 wheels to the 3-1/4 inch (83 mm) cut setting.
3. Take a half sheet of newspaper and crumple it into a
ball small enough to go under the machine housing
(about 3 inches or 76 mm in diameter).
4. Place the newspaper ball about 5 inches (13 cm) in
front of the machine.
5. Start the engine.
6. Engage the blade.
7. Release the blade-control bar.
8. Immediately push the machine over the newspaper ball.
9. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
10. Go to the front of the machine and check the
newspaper ball.
Note: If the newspaper ball did not go under the
machine, repeat steps 4 through 10.
11. If the newspaper is unravelled or shredded, the blade
did not stop properly, which could result in an unsafe
operating condition. Contact an Authorized Service
Dealer.
Recycling the Clippings
Your machine comes from the factory ready to recycle the
grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
If the grass bag is on the machine and the
bag-on-demand lever is in the bagging position,
move the lever to the recycling position; refer to
Operating the Bag-on-Demand Lever (page 11) before
recycling the clippings. If the side-discharge
chute is on the machine, remove it; refer
to Removing the Side-discharge Chute (page 13) before
recycling the clippings.
Bagging the Clippings
Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and leaf
clippings from the lawn.
WARNING
A worn grass bag could allow small stones and
other similar debris to be thrown in the operator's or
bystander's direction and result in serious personal
injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged,
install a new Toro replacement bag.
