Preparing For Maintenance; Replacing The Air Filter - Toro 20793 Operator's Manual

Preparing for Maintenance

1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop.
2. Disconnect the
spark plug wire from the
spark plug before
performing any
maintenance procedure.
If you leave the key in the ignition switch,
someone could accidently start the engine and
seriously injure you or bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition switch before
you service, transport, or store your mower.
3. After performing the maintenance procedure(s),
connect the spark plug wire to the spark plug.
Note: Before tipping the mower to change the oil or
replace the blade, allow the fuel tank to run dry
through normal usage. If you must tip the mower prior
to running out of fuel, use a hand fuel pump to
remove the fuel. Always tip the mower onto its side
with the air filter up.
Tipping the mower may cause the fuel to leak.
Gasoline is flammable, explosive and can cause
personal injury.
Run the engine dry or remove the gasoline with a
hand pump; never siphon.
