Replace the blades when the machine hits a solid
object or if the blades are damaged or bent. Use only
genuine Toro replacement blades.

piece of the blade could be thrown toward you
or bystanders, resulting in serious personal
injury.
• Inspect the blades periodically for wear or
damage.

must tip the machine prior to running out
of fuel, use a hand fuel pump to remove
the fuel. Tip the machine onto its left side

does not leak into the air filter.

damaged blades in need of replacement, if any
need to be replaced contact your Authorized
