Operating Tips

General Mowing Tips
•
Inspect the area where you will use the machine
and remove all objects that the machine could
throw.
•
Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never
deliberately mow over any object.
•
If the machine strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
immediately shut off the engine, disconnect the
wire from the spark plug, remove the electric-start
button (if equipped), and examine the machine for
damage.
•
For best performance, install a new blade before
the cutting season begins.
•
Replace the blade when necessary with a Toro
replacement blade.
Cutting Grass
•
Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time.
Do not cut below 51 mm (2 inches) unless the
grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth
begins to slow down.
•
When cutting grass over 15 cm (6 inches) tall,
mow at the highest cutting height setting and walk
slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the
best lawn appearance. If the grass is too long, the
machine may plug and cause the engine to stall.
