Safety The following list contains safety information specific to Toro products and other safety information you must know. • Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, with the operator controls, and safety signs. • Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the operating characteristics and the stability of the machine. • Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes. A heavy grass catcher could cause loss of control or overturn the machine.
Safety and Instruction Decals Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or lost.
Setup Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Loose Parts Note: Use the chart below to verify all parts have been shipped.

Operation Caution Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended. Important Set the parking brake, and chock or block the tires when leaving the machine unattended, even if just for a few minutes. Always remove the ignition key, set the parking brake and chock or block tires when leaving the machine unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
Clearing Obstructions From the Bagger System 7. Remove the blower assembly from the the mounting plate (Fig. 4). 8. If you are changing to side discharge mode, ensure the grass deflector is installed and can be lowered into working position. 1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and chock or block the drive wheels. 2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. Using the Grass Deflector 3. Empty the bags.
Operating and Bagging Tips Bagging Long Grass Machine Size Excessively long grass is heavy and may not be propelled completely into the bagger. If this happens, the tube and blower assembly may plug. Remember that the machine is longer and wider with this attachment installed. By turning too sharply in confined places you may damage the attachment or other property. Bagging Wet Grass If possible, always try to cut grass when it is dry. Wet grass can cause plugging.
Maintenance Important If the machine is on a slope, set the parking brake and chock or block the wheels to prevent the machine from slowly rolling.
Checking and Adjusting the Bagger Belt Tension 8. Tighten the two bolts that hold the fixed idler to the blower assembly (Fig. 21). 9. Close the blower assembly and measure the spring length again. Adjust the fixed idler until the correct spring length is achieved. Check the bagger belt tension every 25 hours. Note: When checking the belt tension, the spring length needs to be between 4 inches and 4–3/4 inches (102 and 121 mm) (Fig. 20).
Checking and Adjusting the Blower Latch Adjust the blower latch when it is does not engage the front peg correctly. 1. There must not be a gap between the mounting plate the the blower assembly (Fig. 22). If there is a gap, proceed to step 3 and shorten the latch. 3 Topview 4 2 2 1 m–6262 Figure 23 1. Blower front latch (Red) 2. Front peg 3. To adjust the blower latch, loosen the jam nut. (Fig. 24). 4. To lengthen the latch turn the hex nut counterclockwise to loosen the nut. (Fig. 24). 5.
3 Replacing the Blower Belt 6 4 7 Check the bagger belt for wear and cracks after the first 8 hours and then every 25 hours. 1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and chock or block the drive wheels. 2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 3. Push down on the front latch and open the blower assembly (Fig. 7). This will make it easier to install the blower belt. 1 4.
Replacing the Blower Liner 3 1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and chock or block the drive wheels. 2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 2 3. Remove the five bolts that hold the blower liner to the blower (Figures 28 and 29). 4 4. Pull the liner out of the blower (Fig. 28). 1 5. Slide the new liner around the blower impeller. 6. Install 3 bolts into bottom of the blower and the liner (Fig. 28).
Inspecting the Bagger 3 Inspect the bagger attachment after the first 8 hours of operation and 100 hours thereafter. 5 4 1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and chock or block the drive wheels. 2 1 2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 3 4 M–4226 3. Check the tube, blower assembly, and the bagger hood. Replace these parts if they are cracked or broken. Figure 31 1. Sail Area of Blade 2. Blade 3. Spring Disk 4.
Using the Grass Deflector Installing the Grass Deflector Note: Make sure the grass deflector is installed when the bagger and tubes are removed. The grass deflector spring will have either an L end or a straight end (Fig. 32). Note: Make sure the grass deflector is installed when the bagger and tubes are removed. Warning Warning Without the grass deflector, bagger tubes or complete bagger assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris.
Storage 3. Make sure the bags are empty and thoroughly dry. 4. Check the belt for wear or cracks. 1. Clean the bagger attachment. Refer to Cleaning the Bagger on page 17. 5. Store the machine in a clean, dry place, out of direct sunlight. If you must store the machine outside, cover it with a weatherproof cover. This protects the plastic parts and extends the life of the machine. 2. Inspect the bagger attachment for damage. Refer to Inspecting the Bagger on page 17.
Problem Blower impeller does not spin freely. Possible Causes Corrective Action 1. Plugged blower. 1. Remove debris, leaves or grass clippings from the blower impeller. 2. Impeller not aligned. 2. Contact Authorized Service Dealer.
