Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times. • Never pick up or carry a lawn mower while the engine is running. • Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling a pedestrian controlled lawn mower towards you. • Walk, never run. • Slopes: – Do not mow excessively steep slopes. – Exercise extreme caution when on slopes.
Sound Pressure Safety and Instructional Decals This unit has an equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level at the operator ear of 89 dBA, based on measurements of identical machines per EN 11094 and EN 836. Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or lost.

Operation In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Each time before you mow, make sure that the self-propel drive and the blade control bar operate properly. When you release the blade control bail, the blade and self-propel drive should stop. If they do not, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
2. Remove the fuel tank cap. 3. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline to within 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) from the top of the tank. Do not fill into the filler neck. When fueling, under certain circumstances, a static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and damage property. 4. Install the fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline. • Always place gasoline containers on the ground and away from your vehicle before filling.
Using the Self-propel Drive Adjusting the Cutting Height 1. Move the ground speed control to the desired setting. 2. Squeeze the control bar against the handle to drive (Figure 13). Adjusting the cutting height levers could bring your hands into contact with a moving blade and result in serious injury. • Stop the engine and wait for all movement to stop before adjusting the cutting height. • Do not put your fingers under the housing when adjusting the cutting height. 1.
Using the Grass Bag Mowing with the Grass Bag Installing the Grass Bag 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. 1. Wait for all moving parts to stop. 2. Raise the discharge door, slide the bag ramp attached to the grass bag into the discharge opening, and hook the bag frame onto the rounded portion of the mounting brackets (Figure 15).
If the discharge door does not close completely, the mower could throw objects, causing serious personal injury or death. Operating a mower with its engine running at a speed greater than the factory setting can cause the mower to throw a part of the blade or engine into the operator’s or bystander’s area and result in serious personal injury or death.
set the front wheels at 2 inches (51 mm) and the rear wheels at 2-1/2 inches (64 mm). Cutting Leaves • After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need to make more than one pass over the leaves. • For light leaf coverage, set all the wheels at the same cutting height setting. • If there are more than 5 inches (12.7 cm) of leaves on the lawn, set the front cutting height 1 or 2 notches higher than the rear cutting height.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the rst 5 operating hours • Change the engine oil. Before each use or daily • Check the engine oil level. • Check the stopping time of the blade brake. The blade must stop within 3 seconds of releasing the control bar; if it does not, contact an Authorized Service Dealer for repair.

Inspecting the Blade Figure 23 Carefully examine the blade for sharpness and wear, especially where the flat and the curved parts meet (Figure 24A). Because sand and abrasive material can wear away the metal that connects the flat and curved parts of the blade, check the blade before using the mower.
Removing the Blade 1. Grasp the end of the blade using a rag or a thickly padded glove. 2. Remove the blade bolt and the blade (Figure 25). near the cutting edge). The blade is properly balanced when neither end drops. Installing the Blade 1. Install a sharp, balanced Toro blade and the blade bolt. Note: The sail part of the blade must point upward (toward the top of the mower housing). 2. Torque the blade nuts to 60 ft-lb (82 N··m). 3. Return the mower to its operating position. 4.
