Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
Keep the machine free of grass, leaves, or other
debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
Allow the machine to cool before storing.
Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an
object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
Grass catcher components are subject to wear,
damage and deterioration, which could expose
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.
Frequently check components and replace with
manufacturer's recommended parts, when
necessary.
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the
blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution
when servicing them.
Use only genuine Toro replacement parts to
ensure that original standards are maintained.

specific to Toro products or other safety information
that you must know that is not included in the ANSI
standard.
POTENTIAL HAZARD

which is an odorless, deadly poison.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Carbon monoxide can kill you and is also
known to the State of California to cause
birth defects.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed
area.
Stop the engine, disconnect spark plug wire(s)
and remove key before performing any service,
repairs, maintenance or adjustments.
Slow down before turning. Sharp turns on any
terrain may cause loss of control.
Never leave a running machine unattended.
Always turn off blades, set parking brake, stop
engine, and remove the ignition and "Key
Choice" keys before dismounting.
Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away
from attachment discharge area, underside of
mower and any moving parts while engine is
running.
Do not touch equipment or attachment parts
which may be hot from operation. Allow to cool

Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
from the mowing area. Watch for holes, ruts or
bumps, as uneven terrain could overturn the
machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
