and prevents gum-like varnish deposits from forming in
the engine during periods of storage.

IMPORTANT: NEVER USE METHANOL,
GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL,
GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN 10%
ETHANOL, PREMIUM GASOLINE, OR WHITE
GAS BECAUSE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE
COULD RESULT.
DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES OTHER THAN
THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR FUEL
STABILIZATION DURING STORAGE SUCH AS
TORO'S STABILIZER/CONDITIONER OR A
SIMILAR PRODUCT. TORO'S
STABILIZER/CONDITIONER IS A PETROLEUM
DISTILLATE BASED CONDITIONER/STABILIZER.
TORO DOES NOT RECOMMEND STABILIZERS

Recycling Tips
General Tips
Follow these instructions whether cutting grass or leaves
for the best cutting results and lawn appearance:
Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season.
Periodically file down nicks on blade.
Only mow dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves
tend to clump on yard and may cause mower to plug or
engine to stall. They also may be slippery to walk on
and could cause you to slip and fall.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Wet grass or leaves can cause you to slip and
contact blade.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Blade contact can seriously injure you.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Mow only in dry conditions.
Set engine speed to fastest position. Maximum
horsepower provides best cutting results.
Clean clippings or leaves from underside of mower
deck after each mowing.
Keep engine in good running condition. Cutting and
recutting requires more horsepower.
Clean air filter more frequently. Cutting and recutting
stirs up more clippings and dust which clogs the air
filter and reduces engine performance.
Cutting Grass
Grass grows at different rates at different times of the
year. In the heat of the summer, it is generally best to
cut grass at the 44 mm (1- / "), 57 mm (2- / ") or 70
mm (2- / ") height-of-cut settings (Fig. 9). Only
