DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are signal words used to identify the level of hazard. However, regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful. DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause serious injury or death if the recommended precautions are not followed. WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious injury or death if the recommended precautions are not followed. CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or moderate injury if the recommended precautions are not followed.
4. Always be sure of your footing on slopes. 5. Walk, never run. • before clearing blockages or unclogging chute; 6. For wheeled rotary machines, mow across the face of slopes, never up and down. • before checking, cleaning or working on the lawnmower; Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. • after striking a foreign object.
Sound Pressure Level Sound Power Level This unit has an equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure at the operator ear of: 85.4 dB(A), based on measurements of identical machines per ANSI B71.5-1984 procedures. This unit has a sound power level of: 98.6 dB(A)/1 pW, based on measurements of identical machines per Directive 84/538/EEC and amendments. Vibration Level This unit has a maximum hand-arm vibration level of 7.27 m/s@, based on measurement of identical machines per ISO 5349 procedures.

Since the plug is slightly wider than the discharge tunnel opening, rotate the plug clockwise slightly while inserting it (Fig. 4). Make sure the arrow on the plug decal is pointing upwards. 4. Push the plug all the way in until the spring clip on the bottom of the plug clicks into place, locking the plug securely into the discharge tunnel (Fig. 5). Release discharge door handle to lock top of plug. Install Handle 1.
low, add only enough oil to raise level to FULL mark on dipstick. DO NOT FILL ABOVE FULL MARK BECAUSE ENGINE COULD BE DAMAGED WHEN STARTED. POUR OIL SLOWLY. 4. Insert dipstick into filler neck and rotate cap clockwise 1/4 turn to lock. Note: Check oil level each time mower is used or after every 5 operating hours. Initially, change oil after the first 5 hours of operation; thereafter, change oil after every 50 hours of operation or every season.
2. Reinstall fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline. Cutting Grass • Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year. In the heat of the summer, it is generally best to cut grass at the C, D or E height-of-cut settings. Only about 1/3 of the grass blade should be cut off. Cutting below the C setting is not recommended unless grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down.
• If there are more than 12,7 cm of leaves on lawn, set the front wheels one or two notches higher than the rear wheels. This makes it easier to feed leaves under mower deck. • Walk at a slower mowing speed if leaves are not being cut up finely enough to be hidden down in the grass. • If you cut up a lot of oak leaves, you might want to add lime to your grass in the spring. Lime reduces the acidity of oak leaves. Operation Note: 5.
speed, move control bar to the RUN/SHIFT position (Fig. 11) or lower bar far enough to stop the unit from self-propelling. Note: 9. The drive wheels are equipped with freewheeling clutches which enable the mower to be pulled rearward easier when the wheel drive is disengaged. To disengage the clutches, mower must be pushed forward at least 2,5 cm (1”) after wheel drive operation has stopped. Consult with your dealer if you have any questions. STOPPING—To stop engine, release the control bar.
POTENTIAL HAZARD • A worn grass bag could allow small stones and other similar debris to be thrown in operator’s or bystanders direction. The SmartWheel has two cutting scales — SPARSE/NORMAL and LUSH — to ensure the best height–of–cut setting in any mowing condition (Fig. 14). Use the SPARSE/NORMAL scale during the warm summer season for the majority of your mowing. The LUSH scale is for thick, moist, succulent grass that grows most often in the spring.
2. 3. Using the coded SmartWheel design (Fig. 14), compare the tips of the grass blades to the letters on the wheel. Whichever letter the tips of the grass blades correspond with is the proper cutting height. Squeeze mower’s height-of-cut lever toward wheel and move it to the corresponding letter on mower housing (Fig. 15). For easier adjustment, lift housing up so wheel is off ground. Do not put fingers under housing when lifting. Ensure pin on height-of-cut lever engages slot in housing.
Draining Gasoline Adjusting Throttle 1. Stop engine and wait for engine to cool. Pull wire off spark plug (Fig. 10). Remove key from switch on electric start model. Throttle control adjustment may be required if engine does not start or stop. Whenever a new throttle control cable is installed, throttle must be adjusted. Note: 1. Stop engine and pull wire off spark plug (Fig. 10). Remove key from switch on electric start model. 2. Loosen cable clamp screw until throttle cable slides (Fig. 19). 3.
Inspecting/Removing/ Sharpening Blade POTENTIAL HAZARD • Over-adjusting cable may cause mower to move without engaging traction drive. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Contact with a moving mower could cause serious personal injury to operator or bystanders. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD • Do not over-adjust wheel drive cable. 4. 5. CHECK ADJUSTMENT—Adjustment is correct when control bar is about 4 cm (1!/2 inches) from handle (Fig. 21) and wheels start to turn freely. Always mow with a sharp blade.
POTENTIAL HAZARD • A worn or damaged blade could break and a piece of blade could be thrown into operator’s or bystander’s area. 1. Apply 2 or 3 drops of light oil on inside of front and outside of all wheel bolts. Spin wheels to distribute oil into bushings. Wipe up excess oil. 2. Move rear wheel height–of–cut levers to “C” setting. Wipe grease fittings with clean rag (Fig. 26). Install grease gun onto fitting and gently apply 2 or 3 pumps of #2 Multi–Purpose Lithium Base Grease.
Replacing Fuse 2. Attach a quick disconnect coupling (sold separately) to the end of the garden hose. Attach coupling to mower washout fitting and turn water on high (Fig. 28). The electrical system charging circuit is protected by a fuse. If the battery does not stay charged, the fuse may be blown. Use a 5 amp AGC-5 fuse. 3. Start the engine. 4. Let mower run for two minutes. 1. Push the two fuse holder sections together. Rotate fuse holder cap to open fuse holder (Fig. 27). 5. Stop the engine.
2. Run engine until it dies. Try starting engine once more to make sure gas is out of carburetor. 3. Pull wire off spark plug (Fig. 10). Remove key from switch on electric start model. 4. If grass bag is installed on mower, close door in mower housing and remove grass bag. 5. Tip mower on its left side (Fig. 29). Avoid rotating blade because starting problems may result. 6. Remove dirt and grass clippings with a hardwood scraper. Avoid burrs and sharp edges. 7. Turn mower upright. 8.
12. Charge battery for 72 hours (electric start model); refer to Charging Battery, page 16. be purchased at your local authorized TORO Service Dealer. 13. Store mower in a clean, dry place. Cover mower to keep it clean and protected. 1. Side Discharge Kit, Model No. 59113—Installs in seconds. Rear mounted in place of the grass bag. Disperses clippings while trimming on both sides (Fig. 31). 2. Dethatcher Kit, Model No. 59131—Installs in minutes. Front mounted for easy maneuverability (Fig. 32).
