Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine, release the blade control bar.
Note: Remove the ignition key when you leave the
mower (electric-start models only).
Important:
When you release the blade control
bar, both the engine and blade should stop within
3 seconds. If they do not stop properly, stop using
your mower immediately and contact an Authorized
Service Dealer.
Recycling the Clippings
Your mower comes from the factory ready to recycle the
grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
If the grass bag is on the mower and the bag-on-demand
lever is in the bagging position, move the lever
to the recycling position (refer to Operating the
Bag-on-Demand Lever) before recycling the clippings.
If the side-discharge chute is on the mower, remove it
(refer to Removing the Side Discharge Chute) before
recycling the clippings.
Bagging the Clippings
Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and
leaf clippings from the lawn.
A worn grass bag could allow small stones and
other similar debris to be thrown in the operator's or
bystander's direction and result in serious personal
injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged,
install a new Toro replacement bag.
If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it
(refer to Removing the Side Discharge Chute) before
bagging the clippings. If the bag-on-demand lever is in
the recycling position, move it to the bagging position
(refer to Operating the Bag-on-Demand Lever).
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result
in serious personal injury.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
