POTENTIAL HAZARD
When extension cord is connected to mower
and plugged into a normal household
outlet, the mower is operational. Someone
could accidentally start the mower.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Accidental starting of mower could
seriously injure you or other bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always remove extension cord from
household outlet when leaving mower
unattended, even for a short period of time.
Cleaning
Before cleaning mower, stop motor, wait for all
moving parts to stop, and disconnect extension cord
from household outlet.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean mower with a
garden hose. Moisture can be trapped in
mower and may cause corrosion of internal
parts.
After Every Use
Clean the underside of the mower housing. Be
particularly careful to keep kickers free of all
debris (Fig. 14). Remove dirt and grass clippings
with a hardwood scraper. Avoid burrs and sharp
edges.
Brush all debris off top of mower housing.
Remove plug from discharge tunnel and clean
off all debris. When grass is thick and lush,
clippings may collect on and around the plug;
this may make plug removal difficult.

Once A Year
Remove top shroud and clean out any debris
underneath it with compressed air, a vacuum
cleaner or a brush.
Check for any discolored or charred wires or
switch contacts. If any are damaged, see your
Authorized Toro Service Dealer for repairs.
Blade
Always mow with a sharp blade. A sharp blade cuts
cleanly and without tearing or shredding the grass
blades like a dull blade.
Do not attempt to remove blade. If your blade
requires sharpening, see your Authorized Toro
Service Dealer. Your dealer will have the proper
equipment for blade removal and testing.
Servicing Double-insulated
Mower
In a double-insulated mower, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
mower, nor should a means for grounding be added to
the mower. Servicing a double-insulated mower
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system,
and should be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
mower must be identical to the parts they replace. A
double-insulated mower is marked with the words
"DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE
INSULATED." The symbol (square within a square)
may also be marked on the mower.
Storage
Store mower in a cool, clean, dry place. Cover mower
to keep it clean and protected.
