Introduction

This machine is intended to be used by residential
homeowners or professional, hired operators. It is
designed for removing snow from paved surfaces, such
as driveways and sidewalks, and other surfaces for
traffic on residential or commercial properties. It is not
designed for removing materials other than snow, nor is
a model with a pivoting scraper designed for clearing off
gravel surfaces.
Read this information carefully to learn how to operate and
maintain your machine properly and to avoid injury and
machine damage. You are responsible for operating the
machine properly and safely.
You may contact Toro directly at www.Toro.com for machine
and accessory information, help finding a dealer, or to register
your machine.
Whenever you need service, genuine Toro parts, or additional
information, contact an Authorized Service Dealer or Toro
Customer Service and have the model and serial numbers of
your machine ready.

This manual identifies potential hazards and has safety
messages identified by the safety-alert symbol
which signals a hazard that may cause serious injury or death
if you do not follow the recommended precautions.
1. Safety-alert symbol
This manual uses 2 words to highlight information.
Important calls attention to special mechanical information
and Note emphasizes general information worthy of special
attention.
For models with stated power, the net power of the engine was
laboratory rated by the engine manufacturer in accordance
with SAE J1940. As configured to meet safety, emission, and
operating requirements, the actual engine horsepower on this
class of snow thrower will be significantly lower.
Important: If you are using this machine above 1500 m
(5,000 ft) for a continuous period, ensure that the High
Altitude Kit has been installed so that the engine meets
CARB/EPA emission regulations. The High Altitude
Kit increases engine performance while preventing
spark-plug fouling, hard starting, and increased
emissions. Once you have installed the kit, attach
the high-altitude label next to the serial decal on the
machine. Contact any Authorized Toro Service Dealer
to obtain the proper High Altitude Kit and high-altitude
label for your machine. To locate a dealer convenient to
you, access our website at www.Toro.com or contact our
Toro Customer Care Department at the number(s) listed
in your Emission Control Warranty Statement.
Remove the kit from the engine and restore the engine
to its original factory configuration when running the
engine under 1500 m (5,000 ft). Do not operate an engine
that has been converted for high-altitude use at lower
altitudes; otherwise, you could overheat and damage
the engine.
If you are unsure whether or not your machine has been
converted for high-altitude use, look for the following
label
(Figure
3).
