Inspecting the Blades
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
1. Inspect the cutting edges (Figure 52). If the edges
are not sharp or have nicks, remove and sharpen the
blades. Refer to Sharpening the Blades.

1. Cutting Edge
2. Sail
2. Inspect the blades, especially the curved area (Figure
52). If you notice any damage, wear, or a slot forming
in this area (item 3. in Figure 52), immediately install
a new blade.
Checking for Bent Blades
1. Rotate the blades until the ends face forward and
backward (Figure 53).

3. Wear/slot forming in
curved area
4. Crack in the curved area
2. Measure from a level surface to the cutting edge,
position A, of the blades (Figure 55). Note this
dimension.
1. Measure from the cutting edge to a level surface
3. Rotate the opposite ends of the blades forward.
4. Measure from a level surface to the cutting edge of the
blades at the same position as in step 1. The difference
between the dimensions obtained in steps 1 and 2
must not exceed 3 mm (1/8 inch). If this dimension
exceeds 3 mm (1/8 inch), the blade is bent and must be
replaced. 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
Replace the blades if you hit a solid object or if the blades are
out of balance or 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 bolt with a wrench.
2. Remove the nut, blade bolt, curved washer, blade,
spacers, and thin washer from the spindle (Figure 56).
