• To start and stop the engine:
– Open fuel shut-off valve.
– Verify that the traction and reel drive control
levers on handle are in Neutral position.
– Move the on/off switch, located on the control
panel, to ON position, set choke to full choke
position (cold start) and throttle to half throttle.
– Pull starter cord to start engine.
– Move throttle to Slow and on/off switch to Off
position to stop engine.
• To transport mower from one area to another:
– Install transport wheels.
– Disengage reel drive.
– Start engine.
– Press down on handle to raise front of mower
and engage traction drive.
• Before beginning mowing operation:
– Disengage traction drive.
– Stop engine.
– Remove transport wheels.
– Start engine
– Engage reel drive.
• Using the machine demands attention. To prevent
loss of control:
– Do not drive close to sand traps, ditches, creeks,
or other hazards.
– Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid
sudden stops and starts.
– When near or crossing roads, always yield the
right-of-way.
• The grass basket must be in place, during the
mowing operation, for maximum safety. Shut the
engine off before emptying the basket.
• Do not touch the engine, muffler, or exhaust pipe
while the engine is running or soon after it has
stopped because these areas could be hot enough
to cause burns.
• When a person or pet appears unexpectedly in
or near the mowing area, stop mowing. Careless
operation, combined with terrain angles, ricochets,
or improperly positioned guards can lead to thrown
object injuries. Do not resume mowing until the
area is cleared.
Maintenance and Storage
• Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a
regular basis. Tighten or repair them as needed.
• If the engine must be running to perform a
maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing,
and any parts of the body away from the cutting unit,
attachments and any moving parts. Keep everyone
away.
• To ensure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized
Toro Distributor check the maximum engine speed
with a tachometer. Maximum governed engine speed
should be 3600 RPM.
• If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is
desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
• Use only Toro-approved attachments and
replacement parts. The warranty may be voided if
used with unapproved attachments.
