Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and
other debris which could be picked up or hit by the
blade and become thrown objects.
Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away
from the area of operation.
Avoid striking trees, walls, curbs, or other solid
objects. Never deliberately mow over any object.
If the lawn mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
immediately stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug
wire, and examine the lawn mower for damage.
Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season.
Periodically file down nicks on the blade.
Replace the blade when necessary with an original
Toro replacement blade.
Only mow dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves
tend to clump on the yard and may cause the lawn
mower to plug or the engine to stall.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Wet grass or leaves can cause you to slip and
contact the blade.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Blade contact can seriously injure you.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Mow only in dry conditions.
Clean clippings or leaves from the underside of the
lawn mower deck after each mowing. See Cleaning
the Underside of the Lawn Mower Housing on
page 15.
Keep the engine in good running condition.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating a lawn mower with its engine
running at a speed greater than the factory
setting can cause an unsafe operating condition.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The lawn mower could throw a part of the
blade or engine into the operator's or
bystander's area and cause serious personal
injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not change the engine speed setting.
If you suspect the engine speed is faster than
normal, contact your Authorized Service
Dealer.
