Important: To reduce starting problems, add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline all season. Mix the stabilizer with gasoline less than 30 days old. Adjusting the Cutting Height Note: The capacity of the fuel tank is 1.8 L (0.47 The cutting heights range from 38 mm (1-1/2 inches) to 127 mm (5 inches) in 13 mm (1/2 inch) increments. US gallon). Checking the Engine-Oil Level 1. Move the machine to a level surface. 2. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap counterclockwise and pulling it out (Figure 13).

• Operate the machine only in good visibility and appropriate weather conditions. Do not operate the machine when there is the risk of lighting. • Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if you slip and contact the blade. Avoid mowing in wet conditions. • Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view. • Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects.

Engaging the Parking Brake Recycling the Clippings Engage the parking brake by pulling the brake lever up from the handle (Figure 20). This machine comes from the factory ready to recycle grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn. To prepare the machine to recycle: • If the side-discharge chute is on the machine, remove it and install the side-discharge deflector; refer to Removing the Side-Discharge Chute (page 15).
PAGE 14
Bagging the Clippings Side-Discharging the Clippings Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and leaf clippings from the lawn. Use the side discharge for cutting very tall grass. If the side-discharge chute is on the machine, remove it and install the side-discharge deflector before bagging the clippings; refer to Removing the Side-Discharge Chute (page 15). Installing the Side-Discharge Chute Important: Ensure that the rear-discharge plug is Installing the Grass Bag 1.

• Set the engine speed to the fastest position for the best cutting results. • Clean the air filter frequently. Mulching stirs up more clippings and dust which clogs the air filter and reduces engine performance. Cutting Grass • Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year. In the summer heat, it is best to cut grass at the 51 mm (2 inch), 64 mm (2-1/2 inch), or 83 mm (3 inch) cutting-height settings. Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time.

Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 5 hours • Change the engine oil without the oil filter. • Service the blade-drive system. Before each use or daily • • • • Clean under the machine housing. Inspect the air filter. Check the blades and service them, if necessary. Inspect the blades. Every 25 hours • Clean the foam pre-cleaner (more frequently in dusty conditions).
PAGE 18
Changing the Engine Oil Service Interval: After the first 5 hours—Change the engine oil without the oil filter. Every 50 hours—Change the engine oil (more often in dusty conditions). Note: Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil to warm it. Warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants. Engine Oil Specifications g006591 Figure 27 1. Cover 2.

Servicing the Blades Inspecting the Blades Service Interval: Before each use or daily Service Interval: Before each use or daily 1. Important: You will need a torque wrench to install the blades properly. If you do not have a torque wrench or are uncomfortable performing this procedure, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Inspect the cutting edges (Figure 36). If the edges are not sharp or have nicks, remove the blades and have them sharpened or replace them.
PAGE 23
Removing the Blades Checking for Bent Blades 1. Rotate the blades until they are positioned as shown in Figure 37. Replace the blades when they strike a solid object, are out of balance, bent, or worn. Use only genuine Toro replacement blades. 1. Use a block of wood to hold each blade steady and turn the blade bolt counterclockwise as shown in Figure 38. g016532 Figure 37 1. Front of cutting deck 3. Measure from the cutting edge to a smooth, level surface g016527 Figure 38 2.
PAGE 24
Installing the Blades Note: The blades should be perpendicular, forming an inverted “T” as shown in Figure 41. WARNING Incorrectly installing the blades could damage the machine or cause an injury to the operator or to bystanders. Install the blades according to the instructions. 1. Install the first blade so that it is horizontal, along with all mounting hardware as shown in Figure 39. g016536 Figure 41 Note: Tighten the bolt with your fingers. 1.

Adjusting the Transmission Adjusting the Self-Propel If the machine starts to lose traction, check and adjust Cable the transmission. If the machine does not self-propel or tends to creep forward when you release the control bar, adjust the drive cable. 1. Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug. 1. 3. Loosen the bolt and nut holding the bracket into place. Stop the machine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 2.
PAGE 29
Preparing the Engine Storage 1. While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil and the oil filter; refer to Changing the Engine Oil (page 18) and Changing the Oil Filter (page 19). 2. Remove the spark plug. 3. Using an oil can, add about 30 ml (1 fl oz), of motor oil to the engine through the spark-plug hole. 4. Slowly pull the starter rope several times to distribute oil throughout the cylinder. 5. Install the spark plug but do not connect the wire to the spark plug.
