Blade Safety

A worn or damaged blade or bedknife can break, and
a piece could be thrown toward you or bystanders,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
•
Inspect the blades and bedknives periodically for
excessive wear or damage.
•
Use care when checking the blades. Wear gloves
and use caution when servicing them. Only
replace or backlap the blades and bedknives;
never straighten or weld them.
•
On machines with multiple cutting units, take care
when rotating a cutting unit; it can cause the reels
in the other cutting units to rotate.
Checking the
Reel-to-Bedknife Contact
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Each day before operating, check the reel-to-bedknife
contact, regardless if the quality of cut had previously
been acceptable. There must be light contact across
the full length of the reel and the bedknife (refer to
Adjusting the Reel to Bedknife in the cutting unit
Operator's Manual).
Backlapping the Cutting
Units
WARNING
Contact with the cutting units or other moving
parts can result in personal injury.
• Keep your fingers, hands, and clothing
away from the cutting units and other
moving parts.
• Never attempt to turn the cutting units by
hand or foot while the engine is running.
Note:
Additional instructions and procedures on
backlapping are available in the Toro Reel Mower
Basics (with sharpening guidelines), Form 09168SL.
Note:
When backlapping, the front units all operate
together, and the rear units operate together.
