Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly
ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, an odorless, and deadly gas.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make
certain the blade(s) and all moving parts have
stopped. Remove the ignition key to prevent
unintended starting.
Periodically check to make sure the blades come to
complete stop within approximately five (5)
seconds after operating the blade disengagement
control. If the blades do not stop within the this time
frame, your unit should be serviced professionally
by an authorized Toro service dealer.
Check brake operation frequently as it is subjected
to wear during normal operation. Adjust and service
as required.
Check the blade(s) and engine mounting bolts at
frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also,
visually inspect blade(s) for damage (e.g.,
excessive wear, bent, cracked).
Replace the blade(s) with the original equipment
manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) blade(s) only. Use of parts
which do not meet the original equipment
specifications may lead to improper performance
and compromise safety!
Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear
gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
8. Never tamper with the safety interlock system or
other safety devices. Check their proper operation
before each use.
9. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine and
remove the ignition key to prevent unintended
starting. Thoroughly inspect the machine for any
damage. Repair the damage before starting and
operating.
10. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to
the machine while the engine is running.
11. Grass catcher components and the discharge
cover are subject to wear and damage which could
expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.
12. For safety protection, frequently check components
and replace immediately with original equipment
manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) parts only. Use of parts
which do not meet the original equipment
specifications may lead to improper performance
and compromise safety!
13. Do not change the engine governor settings or
over-speed the engine. The governor controls the
maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
14. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as
necessary (i.e. when scratched, damaged or
missing).
15. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for
gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.
