Maintenance Safety
•
Disconnect the spark-plug wire from the spark plug
before performing any maintenance procedure.
•
Wear gloves and eye protection when servicing
the machine.
•
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result
in serious personal injury. Wear gloves when
servicing the blade. Do not repair or alter the
blade(s).
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
•
Tipping the machine may cause the fuel to leak.
Fuel is flammable and explosive, and can cause
personal injury. Run the engine dry or remove the
fuel with a hand pump; never siphon the fuel.
•
To ensure optimum performance and continued
safety certification of the machine, use only
genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories.
Replacement parts and accessories made by
other manufacturers could be dangerous, and
such use could void the product warranty.
Preparing for Maintenance
1.
Shut off the engine, remove the electric-start
button (if equipped), and wait for all moving
parts to stop.
Maintenance Procedure
• Change the engine oil.
• Check the engine-oil level.
• Ensure that the engine shuts off within 3 seconds after releasing the blade-control
bar.
• Check the air filter for dirt and damage and clean or replace it if necessary.
• Clean grass clippings and dirt from under the machine.
• Clean the cooling system (refer to your engine owner's manual).
• Replace the spark plug.
• Empty the fuel tank before repairs as directed and before annual storage.
• Clean or replace the air filter (more frequently in dusty operating conditions).
• Change the engine oil.
• Replace the blade or have it sharpened (more frequently if the edge dulls quickly).
• Check the spark plug and adjust it if necessary.
• Refer to your engine owner's manual for any additional yearly maintenance
procedures.

Important:
Before tipping the machine to
change the oil or replace the blade, allow the
fuel tank to run dry through normal usage. If
you must tip the machine prior to running
out of fuel, use a hand fuel pump to remove
the fuel. Always tip the machine onto its side
with the dipstick down.
