Mower Deck
Maintenance
WARNING
If you raise the machine using only a jack to support
it while you work under the mower deck, the jack
could tip, causing the mower deck to fall, crushing
you or bystanders.
Always secure the machine with at least 2 jack
stands when you have the mower deck raised.
CAUTION
On the top of the mower deck are two links that
connect them to the frame. Connected to these links
are torsion spring that are under tension (Figure 70).
If you disconnect the link the stored energy in the
torsion spring will be released and could cause the
links to move, damaging your hands or fingers.
Be careful when removing the mower deck from
the frame and secure the links before disconnecting
them from the frame.

Servicing the Cutting Blades
Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting season
because sharp blades cut cleanly without tearing or
shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding turns
grass brown at the edges, which slows growth and
increases the chance of disease.
Check the blades daily for sharpness, and for any wear
or damage. Sharpen the blades as necessary. If a blade is
damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a genuine
Toro replacement blade.
