Selecting A Blade - Toro 30807 Operator's Manual

Selecting a Blade

Standard Combination Sail
This blade was designed to provide excellent lift and
dispersion in almost any condition. If more or less lift and
discharge velocity is required, consider a different blade.
Attributes: Excellent lift and dispersion in most conditions.
Angled Sail
The blade generally performs best in lower heights of cut -
1.9 to 6.4 cm (3/4 to 2–1/2 inch).
Attributes:
•
Discharge remains more even at lower heights of cut.
•
Discharge has less tendency to throw left and thus a
cleaner look around bunkers and fairways.
•
Lower power requirement at lower heights and dense turf.
High Lift Parallel Sail
The blade generally performs better in the higher heights of
cut - 7 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inch).
Attributes:
•
More lift and higher discharge velocity.
•
Sparse or limp turf is picked up significantly at higher
heights of cut.
•
Wet or sticky clippings are discharged more efficiently
reducing congestion in the deck.
•
Requires more horsepower to run.
•
Tends to discharge further left and can tend to windrow
at lower heights of cut.
WARNING
Do not use the high lift blade with the mulching
baffle. The blade could break, resulting in personal
injury or death.
Atomic Blade
