General Operation
•
Be sure that the area is clear of other people
before mowing. Stop the machine if anyone enters
the area.

Use only Toro approved attachments. The
warranty may be voided if you use the machine

Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e.,
branches, doorways, electrical wires) before
operating the machine under any objects, and do
not contact them.
