Transporting the Machine Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary brakes, lighting, and marking as required by law. Please carefully read all the safety instructions. Knowing this information could help you, your family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury.
Loading the Machine Use extreme caution when loading the machine onto a trailer or a truck. One full-width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is recommended instead of individual ramps for each side of the machine (Figure 39). The lower rear section of the machine frame extends back between the rear wheels and serves as a stop for tipping backward.

10. Fine-tune the adjustment nut on the front deck lift assembly by turning it (Figure 86). Note: To increase the height, turn the adjustment nut clockwise; to decrease the height, turn the nut counterclockwise. g017029 Figure 87 1. Bolts at the bottom of the height-of-cut plate 13.
3. Rotate the blades until the ends face forward and blades as necessary. If a blade is damaged or worn, replace backward (Figure 90). it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement blade. For convenient sharpening and replacement, you may want to keep extra blades on hand.
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.
Removing the Mower Deck Before servicing or removing the mower deck, the spring-loaded deck arms must be locked out. WARNING Deck lift arm assemblies have stored energy. Removing the deck with out releasing the stored energy can cause serious injury or death. Do not attempt to disassemble the deck from the front frame without locking out the stored energy.
