mowers, in effect at time of production. However,

improper use or maintenance by the operator or

owner can result in injury. To reduce the potential

for injury, comply with these safety instructions

and always pay attention to the safety alert

symbol which means CAUTION, WARNING or

DANGER—“personal safety instruction.” Failure

to comply with the instruction may result in

personal injury.

Safe Operating Practices

This product is capable of amputating hands and feet

and throwing objects. Always follow all safety

instructions to avoid serious injury or death.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

which is an odorless, deadly poison.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•Carbon monoxide can kill you and is also

known to the State of California to cause

birth defects.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

•Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed

area.

This mower is designed for cutting and recycling

grass or, when equipped with a grass bag, for

catching cut grass. Any use for purposes other than

these could prove dangerous to user or bystanders.

Note: This engine is NOT equipped with a

spark arrester muffler. Use or operation

of this mower in the State of California

on any forest-covered, brush-covered

or unimproved grass-covered land,

without an approved spark arrester

muffler, is a violation of the law. Other

states may have similar laws.

General Operation

1. Read this manual carefully before operating the

mower. Become familiar with the controls and

proper use of the mower. Never allow children

under 16 years of age to operate the mower.

Never allow adults to operate mower without

proper instructions.

2. The operator of the mower is responsible for

keeping everyone, especially children and pets,

away from area of operation. The operator is

responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to

other people or their property.

3. Thoroughly inspect area where mower will be

used and remove sticks, stones, wire, and debris

that could be picked up and thrown by mower.

Watch for foreign objects while mowing.

4. Wear long pants and substantial shoes. Do not

operate mower while wearing open-toed shoes,

jewelry, loose clothing or when barefoot.

5. Check fuel level before starting engine. Because

fuel is highly flammable, handle it carefully.

A. Use an approved fuel container.

B. Fill fuel tank outdoors, not indoors.

NEVER ADD FUEL TO AN ENGINE

THAT IS RUNNING OR HOT.

C. Install gas cap on fuel container and gas

tank, and wipe up any spilled gasoline

before starting engine.

Safety

D. Do not smoke while refueling.

6. Keep all guards, shields, safety devices,

cover-deflector assembly, optional grass catcher,

optional side discharge chute or optional

discharge tunnel plug in place. Repair or replace

damaged parts, including decals. Check all

safety devices before each use.

7. Engine, blade and self–propelled drive

(self-propelled model) are designed to stop when

control bails are released. Ensure control and

brake function properly before each use of

mower.

8. Disengage the self-propelled mechanism or drive

clutch (self-propelled model) before starting the

engine.

9. Before using, always visually inspect to see that

the blades, blade fasteners and cutter assembly

are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or

damaged blades and fasteners in sets to preserve

balance.

While Operating

1. Do not run engine indoors.

2. Start the engine carefully according to

instructions and with feet well away from the

blade.

3. Always maintain secure footing. Keep a firm

grip on the handle and walk; never run. Never

operate mower in wet grass. Mow only in

daylight or in good artificial light.

4. Mow across the face of slopes; never up and

down. Use extreme caution when changing

direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively

steep slopes. Wear skid resistant shoes on slopes.

5. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during

operation to protect eyes from foreign objects

that may be thrown from the machine.

6. Keep face, hands, and feet away from the mower

housing and cutter blade when the engine is

running. Blade can cause injury to hands and

feet. Stay behind the handle until the engine

stops.

7. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling

the mower towards you.

8. Since the blade rotates for a few seconds after

the control bar is released, stay behind the

handle until all moving parts stop.

9. After striking a foreign object or if mower

vibrates abnormally, stop engine and remove

wire from spark plug. Check mower for damage

and make all repairs before using mower again.

If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance

is desired, contact your local Authorized TORO

Service Dealer.

10. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to

stop before adjusting the height-of-cut.

11. Stop the blade when pushing the mower outside

the lawn area.

12. Stop engine before leaving the operator’s

position—behind the handle. Disconnect wire

from spark plug if mower will be unattended.

13. Do not touch engine while it is running or

shortly after it is stopped because engine will be

hot enough to cause a burn.

14. Refuel only when engine is cool.

15. If mower must be lifted to be transported, turn

off engine and stay behind the handle until all

moving parts stop. Disconnect spark plug wire.

Safety

described in this manual. If major repairs are

ever needed or if assistance is desired, contact

your local Authorized TORO Service Dealer.

2. Before mower is cleaned, inspected, serviced, or

adjusted, stop engine and disconnect wire from

spark plug. Keep wire away from plug to prevent

accidental starting.

3. To ensure the mower is in safe operating

condition, frequently check and keep all nuts,

bolts, and screws tight. Ensure blade bolt is

tightened to 85–110 ft-lb (115–149 Nm

4. When servicing blade, refer to blade

maintenance section for correct installation and

servicing procedures.

5. To reduce fire hazard, keep engine free of

excessive grease, grass, leaves, and

Gasoline and Oil

Recommended Gasoline

Use UNLEADED Regular Gasoline suitable for

automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded

regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is

not available.

IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline

containing methanol, or gasohol containing

more than 10% ethanol because the fuel

system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with

gasoline.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

•In certain conditions gasoline is extremely

flammable and highly explosive.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn

you, others, and cause property damage.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

•Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,

in an open area, when the engine is cold.

Wipe up any gasoline that spills.

•Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.

Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level

is 1/4” to 1/2” (6 mm to 13 mm) below the

bottom of the filler neck. This empty space

in the tank allows gasoline to expand.

•Never smoke when handling gasoline, and

stay away from an open flame or where

gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.

•Store gasoline in an approved container

and keep it out of the reach of children.

Never buy more than a 30-day supply of

gasoline.

Stabilizer/Conditioner

Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner

to the gas.

•Keeps gasoline fresh during storage

•Cleans the engine while it runs

•Eliminates gum-like buildup in the fuel system,

which causes hard starting

IMPORTANT: Never use fuel additives

containing methanol or ethanol.

Filling the Fuel Tank

1. Shut the engine off.

2. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the

cap. Use a funnel and add unleaded regular

gasoline to the fuel tank, until the level is 1/4 to

1/2 inch (6 mm to 13 mm) below the bottom of

the filler neck. This space in the tank allows

gasoline to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank

completely full.

3. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any

gasoline that may have spilled.

Check Engine Oil Level

Before you start the engine and use the machine,

check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to

Checking Oil Level, page 26.
