Safety IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This machine meets or exceeds CPSC blade safety requirements for walk-behind rotary mowers and the B71.1 specifications of the American National Standards Institute, in effect at time of production. However, improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can result in injury.
If the extension cord receptacle does not fit fully onto the mower plug, reverse the cord receptacle. If the cord receptacle still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. The extension cord plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the cord plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the cord plug.
Maintenance And Storage 1. Perform only those maintenance instructions described in this manual. If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is desired, contact your local Authorized TORO Service Dealer. 6. This unit is provided with double insulation. Use only identical replacement parts. See page 14 for Servicing of Double-insulated Mower. 7. When not in use, store mower indoors in a dry, locked-up place out of the reach of children. Allow motor to cool before storing in an enclosure. 2.
Assembly WARNING IMPORTANT: Do not connect extension cord to mower until mower is fully assembled. Also, always unplug extension cord from mower when adding or switching attachments.

3. Upper Handle (Fig. 4) – Handle height is adjustable to three different heights for operator comfort. Stand behind mower to gauge height. Position ends of upper handle on outside of lower handle. Select one set of upper handle holes and align with lower handle holes. Secure handles in place with bolts and knobs. 4. If handles are in highest height position, use clip to attach cable to left side of lower handle tube (Fig. 5). 1 1 5 2431 3 Figure 5 4 1.

Mowing Tips Cutting below the 2!/2”setting is not recommended unless grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down. General Mulching Tips • When changing height-of-cut from the established setting (ex. 2!/2”, 3” or 3!/2”) to a lower height, the grass may appear ragged or uneven until the grass adjusts to the new established height-of-cut and regains its normal appearance. Your mower is designed to mulch grass when the mulch door is completely closed (Fig. 17).
Adjusting Height-of-Cut Maintenance The mower has five height-of-cut adjustments: 1!/2”, 2”, 2!/2”, 3” and 3!/2”. The rear adjustment lever adjusts the height-of-cut for both rear wheels, and the front adjustment lever adjusts both front wheels. 1. Stop motor and wait for all moving parts to stop. Disconnect extension cord from mower. DANGER POTENTIAL HAZARD • Adjusting height-of-cut levers could bring hands into contact with moving blade.
• Inspect plug receptacle for signs of melting or heating. Old, worn out extension cord plugs that fit loosely in the plug receptacle can cause overheating from poor contact. Replace any damaged extension cords immediately. Once A Year • Remove top shroud (Fig. 20) and clean out any debris underneath it with compressed air, a vacuum cleaner or a brush. 1. Stop motor and wait for all moving parts to stop. Disconnect extension cord from mower. 2. Tip mower on its side (Fig. 21). 3.
