Using Discharge Tunnel Plug - Toro Recycler Instrucciones De Instalación

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Thrown objects may result if discharge
door does not close completely.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Thrown objects can cause serious personal
injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
If discharge door cannot be closed because
grass clippings clog discharge area, stop
engine and gently move discharge door
handle back and forth until door can be
closed completely. If door still cannot be
closed, remove obstruction with a stick, not
your hand.

Using Discharge Tunnel Plug

1. Make sure engine is shut off. Open the discharge
door by moving handle rearwards (Fig. 10).
Hold the discharge door handle to prevent the
spring-loaded door from closing while inserting
the plug.
2. Since the plug is slightly wider than the
discharge tunnel opening, you must rotate the
plug clockwise slightly while inserting it
(Fig. 10). Make sure the arrow on the plug decal
is pointing upwards.
3. Push the plug all the way in until the spring clip
on the bottom of the plug clicks into place,
locking the plug securely into the discharge
tunnel (Fig. 11) Release the discharge door
handle to lock the top of the plug.
4. To remove the plug, move the discharge door
handle rearwards while at the same time lift up
the spring clip on the bottom of the plug. When
the plug is unlocked, pull it out of the discharge
tunnel.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To ensure best performance, the discharge tunnel plug
must be cleaned after each use. When grass is thick
and lush, clippings may collect on and around the
plug; this may make plug removal difficult. After
each use, remove plug from discharge tunnel and
clean off all debris.
Always be sure that discharge tunnel door closes
when handle is released. If debris prevents discharge
door from closing, clean inside of discharge tunnel
and door thoroughly.
1. Stop engine and pull wire off spark plug.
Remove key from switch (key start models).
2. Tip mower on side opposite from the spark plug.
Avoid rotating blade because starting problems
may result.
3. Remove dirt and grass clippings that stick to
housing with a hardwood scraper. Avoid burrs
and sharp edges.
4. Turn mower upright.
5. Remove debris from inside of discharge tunnel.
6. Remove screws securing belt cover (Fig. 12) to
mower housing. Lift off cover and brush out all
debris from belt area. Reinstall belt cover.
7. Clean discharge tunnel plug.
