Starting The Engine - Toro 20961 Operator's Manual

•
Check the grass catcher components and
the discharge chute frequently for any wear
or deterioration and replace them with the
manufacturer's recommended parts when
necessary.
•
Use accessories and attachments approved by
The Toro® Company only.
Slope Safety
•
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and
down. Use extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
•
Do not mow on excessively steep slopes. Poor
footing could cause a slip-and-fall accident.
•
Mow with caution near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments.
