Gross Horsepower
The gross or net horsepower of this engine was laboratory

the actual engine torque on this class of mower will be
significantly lower.
Go to www.Toro.com to view specifications on your mower
model.
Important: If you are using a machine with a Toro
engine above 1500 m (5,000 ft) for a continuous period,
ensure that the High Altitude Kit has been installed so
that the engine meets CARB/EPA emission regulations.
The High Altitude Kit increases engine performance
while preventing spark-plug fouling, hard starting, and
increased emissions. Once you have installed the kit,
attach the high-altitude label next to the serial decal
on the machine. Contact any Authorized Toro Service
Dealer to obtain the proper High Altitude Kit and
high-altitude label for your machine. To locate a dealer
convenient to you, access our website at www.Toro.com
or contact our Toro Customer Care Department at the
number(s) listed in your Emission Control Warranty
Statement.
Remove the kit from the engine and restore the engine
to its original factory configuration when running the
engine under 1500 m (5,000 ft). Do not operate an engine
that has been converted for high-altitude use at lower
altitudes; otherwise, you could overheat and damage
the engine.
If you are unsure whether or not your machine has been
converted for high-altitude use, look for the following
label.
