Cleaning

Before cleaning mower, stop motor, wait for all moving
parts to stop, and disconnect extension cord from mower.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean mower with a garden
hose. Moisture can be trapped in mower and may
cause corrosion of internal parts.
After Every Use
Clean the underside of the mower housing. Be
particularly careful to keep the front cavity clear of all
debris (Fig. 22). Remove dirt and grass clippings with
a hardwood scraper. Avoid burrs and sharp edges.

IMPORTANT: Do not use metal objects to clean
around battery. If metal objects contact the positive
and negative posts at the same time, this could short
the battery. The battery or conductor may overheat
and cause burns.
Check for any discolored or charred wires or switch
contacts. If any are damaged, see your Authorized
Toro Service Dealer for repairs.

Blade

Always mow with a sharp blade. A sharp blade cuts
cleanly and without tearing or shredding the grass blades
like a dull blade.
