Recycling The Clippings; Using The Self-Propel Drive; Stopping The Engine - Toro 20794 Operator's Manual

Using the Self-propel Drive

To operate the self-propel drive, simply walk with your
hands on the upper handle and your elbows at your
sides, and the mower will automatically keep pace with
you (Figure 16).

Stopping the Engine

Release the blade control bar (Figure 17).
Important: When you release the blade control
bar, the blade should stop within 3 seconds. If
it does not stop properly, stop using your mower
immediately and contact an Authorized Service
Dealer.

Recycling the Clippings

Your mower comes from the factory ready to recycle the
grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it
and lock the side discharge door (refer to Removing the
Side Discharge Chute) before recycling the clippings.
Important: Ensure that the rear discharge plug
is locked in place. To lock the plug: Raise the
discharge deflector (Figure 18), firmly push the
plug in until it snaps into place behind the tabs, and
rotate the lever on the plug to the left (Figure 19).
