Stopping The Machine; Transporting Machines; Using The Side Discharge; Adjusting The Height-Of-Cut - Toro 30092 Operator's Manual

Note: Lifting up on the lower handle will
assist driving the machine up a curb and not
spin the drive wheels.

Stopping the Machine

To stop the machine, pull back on the upper
control bar, release the blade control bail, and
turn the ignition key to off. Also set the parking
brake if you leave the machine unattended; refer to
Setting the Parking Brake in Operation, page 18.
Remember to remove the key from the ignition
switch.
Children or bystanders may be injured if
they move or attempt to operate the machine
while it is unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the
parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.

Transporting Machines

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all
necessary lighting and marking as required by law.
Please carefully read all the safety instructions.
Knowing this information could help you, your
family, pets or bystanders avoid injury.
To transport the machine:
1. Stop the engine, remove the key, lock the brake,
close the fuel valve and block the wheels.
2. Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or
truck with straps, chains, cable, or ropes.
3. If using a trailer, secure the trailer to the towing
vehicle and secure it with safety chains.
4. If applicable, connect the trailer brakes.

Using the Side Discharge

This mower has a hinged grass deflector that
disperses clippings to the side and down toward
the turf.
Without the grass deflector, discharge
cover, or complete grass catcher assembly
mounted in place, you and others are
exposed to blade contact and thrown debris.
Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and
thrown debris will cause injury or death.
• Never remove the grass deflector from
the mower because the grass deflector
routes material down toward the turf.
If the grass deflector is ever damaged,
replace it immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the
mower.
• Never try to clear discharge area or
mower blades unless you release the bail
and the blade control switch (PTO) is
off. Rotate the ignition key to Off. Also
remove the key and pull the wire off the
spark plug(s).

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

The height-of-cut is adjustable from 2 to 5 inches
(51 to 127 mm) and is adjustable in 1/2 inch (13
mm) increments.
1. Stop the engine before adjusting the
height-of-cut.
2. Remove the hairpin cotters and relocate the
support rods in different hole locations in
the brackets at each corner of the mower
(Figure 20).
Note: Both support rods must be in the same
hole location for even cutting.
