Operation
Securing the Extension Cord
Use only an extension cord recommended for outdoor,
cold-weather use.
WARNING
Contacting water while operating the machine
could cause an electric shock, which can cause an
injury or death.
• Don't handle the plug or the machine with wet
hands or while standing in water.
• Use only an extension cord recommended for
outdoor, cold-weather use.
1. Form a loop in the extension cord and secure it in the
cord lock (Figure 7).
2. Connect the extension cord to the machine plug.
Note: Do not unplug the extension cord by pulling
on the cord; to unplug the cord, grasp the plug, not
the cord.
WARNING
The electrical cord could be damaged, causing a
shock or fire.
Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before
using the machine. If the cord is damaged, do not
operate the machine. Have an Authorized Toro
Service Dealer replace or repair a damaged cord
immediately.

Planning Your Mowing Pattern
Following the suggested mowing pattern will reduce the risk
of running over the cord with the machine, and the cord will
not sustain unnecessary wear. Do not allow the power cord
to wrap around trees, shrubs, or other obstacles.
Begin by mowing near the electrical power source. Mow back
and forth, gradually mowing away from the power source
(Figure 8).

Starting the Motor
WARNING
Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before
starting it. Failure to do this could damage the
motor, making the machine unsafe.
1. Connect the extension cord to the machine (if
applicable).
2. Plug the other end of the cord into a household
electrical power outlet.
3. Push the button on the right side of the handle and
hold it in (Figure 9).
4. While holding in the button, pull the control bar
toward the handle (Figure 10).
