Maintenance Safety

•
Shut off the engine, wait for all moving parts to
stop, and disconnect the spark-plug wire from the
spark plug before performing any maintenance
procedure.
•
Wear gloves and eye protection when servicing
the machine.
•
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result
in serious personal injury. Wear gloves when
servicing the blade. Do not repair or alter the
blade(s).
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
•
Tipping the machine may cause the fuel to leak.
Fuel is flammable and explosive, and can cause
personal injury. Run the engine dry or remove the
fuel with a hand pump; never siphon the fuel.
•
To ensure optimum performance and continued
safety certification of the machine, use only
genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories.
Replacement parts and accessories made by
other manufacturers could be dangerous, and
such use could void the product warranty.

• Check the air filter for dirt and damage and clean or replace it if necessary.
• Clean grass clippings and dirt from under the machine.
• Clean the blade-stop system shield.
• Clean or replace the air filter (more frequently in dusty operating conditions).
• Change the engine oil.
• Lubricate the upper handle.
• Replace the blade or have it sharpened (more frequently if the edge dulls quickly).
• Clean the engine by removing dirt and debris from its top and sides; clean it more
frequently in dusty operating conditions.

Preparing for Maintenance

1. Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts

connect the spark-plug wire to the spark plug.
Important:
Before tipping the machine to
change the oil or replace the blade, allow the
fuel tank to run dry through normal usage. If
you must tip the machine prior to running
out of fuel, use a hand fuel pump to remove
the fuel. Always tip the machine onto its
side, with the dipstick down.
