Operate the machine only in good visibility and
appropriate weather conditions. Do not operate
the machine when there is the risk of lighting.

Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if
you slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dry
conditions.
•
Use extreme care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may
block your view.

Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a

Stop the machine and inspect the blades after
striking an object or if there is an abnormal
vibration in the machine. Make all necessary
repairs before resuming operation.

Before leaving the operating position, shut off the

If the engine has been running the muffler will be

Check the grass catcher components and the
discharge guard frequently and replace them with
the manufacturer's recommended parts when
necessary.

Use accessories and attachments approved by
the The Toro® Company only.
Slope Safety

Mow across the face of slopes; never up and
down. Use extreme caution when changing

Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. You could lose your footing or
