This product is designed for cutting and recycling grass
or, when equipped with a grass bagger, for catching
cut grass. Any use for purposes other than these could
prove dangerous to user and bystanders.

General Operation

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before
mowing. Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.
• Do not touch equipment or attachment parts which
may be hot from operation. Allow to cool before
attempting to maintain, adjust or service.
• Use only Toro-approved attachments. Warranty may
be voided if used with unapproved attachments.
• Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e.
branches, doorways, electrical wires) before
operating under any objects and do not contact
them.

Slope Operation

All slopes and ramps require extra caution. If you feel
uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from
the mowing area.
• Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
• Use caution near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
The machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel
goes over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge
caves in.
• Use extra care with grass catchers or other
attachments. These can change the stability of the
machine.
• Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Mow slopes side to side.
• Do not mow slopes greater than 20 degrees.
Service
• Never store the machine or fuel container inside
where there is an open flame, such as near a water
heater or furnace.
• Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially the blade
attachment bolts and nuts. Keep equipment in good
condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check safety
systems for proper operation before each use.
• Use only genuine replacement parts to ensure that
original standards are maintained.
• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service
as required.
