WARNING Loading a unit onto a trailer or truck increases the possibility of backward tip-over and could cause serious injury or death. • Use extreme caution when operating a unit on a ramp. • Use only a single, full width ramp; Do not use individual ramps for each side of the unit. • If individual ramps must be used, use enough ramps to create an unbroken ramp surface wider than the unit. • Do not exceed a 15 degree angle between ramp and ground or between ramp and trailer or truck.
Transporting Machines Operating Tips WARNING Fast Throttle Setting/Ground Speed Driving on the street or roadway without turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead to accidents causing personal injury. To maintain enough power for the machine and deck while mowing, operate the engine at the fast throttle position and adjust your ground speed for conditions.
Blade Maintenance Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season because a sharp blade cuts cleanly without tearing or shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which slows growth and increases the chance of disease. Check the blades daily for sharpness, and for any wear or damage. Sharpen the blades as necessary. If a blade is damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement blade. Refer to Servicing the Cutting Blades.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Important: Refer to your Engine Operator's Manual for additional maintenance procedures.
