Operating Tips
General Mowing Tips
-
Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and other debris that the blade could hit.
-
Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never deliberately mow over any object.
-
If the machine strikes an object or starts to vibrate, immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire from the spark plug, and examine the machine for damage.
-
For best performance, install a new blade before the cutting season begins.
-
Replace the blade when necessary with a Toro replacement blade.
Cutting Grass
-
Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time. Do not cut below the 51 mm (2 inch) setting unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down. Refer to Adjusting the Cutting Height.
-
When cutting grass over 15 cm (6 inches) tall, mow at the highest cutting height setting and walk slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the best lawn appearance. If the grass is too long, the machine may plug and cause the engine to stall.
-
Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves tend to clump on the yard and can cause the machine to plug or the engine to stall.
Warning
Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if you slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dry conditions.
-
Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.
-
If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try 1 or more of the following:
-
Replace the blade or have it sharpened.
-
Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
-
Raise the cutting height on your machine.
-
Cut the grass more frequently.
-
Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath with each pass.
-
Set the cutting height on the front wheels a notch lower than the rear wheels. For example, set the front wheels at 57 mm (2-1/4 inches) and the rear wheels at 70 mm (2-3/4 inches).
-
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 a single pass over the leaves.
-
If there are more than 13 cm (5 inches) of leaves on the lawn, set the front cutting height one or two notches higher than the rear cutting height.
-
Slow down your mowing speed if the machine does not cut the leaves finely enough.
Maintenance
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
