Toro 20067 - Manual (Page 14)

• Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the
clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.
• If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try one
or more of the following:
– Replace the blade or have it sharpened.
– Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
– Raise the cutting height on your mower.
– Cut the grass more frequently.
– Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full
swath with each pass.
– Set the cutting height on the front wheels one
notch lower than the rear wheels. For example, set
the front wheels at 2 inches (51 mm) and the rear
wheels at 2-3/8 inches (60 mm).
Cutting Leaves
• After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn
shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need to
make more than one pass over the leaves.
• If there are more than 5 inches (13 cm) of leaves on the
lawn, set the front cutting height one or two notches
higher than the rear cutting height.
• Slow down your mowing speed if the mower does not
cut the leaves finely enough.
