Operating Tips
General Mowing Tips
-
Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never deliberately mow over any object.
-
For best performance, install a new blade before the cutting season begins.
-
Replace the blade when necessary with a Toro replacement blade.
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 64 mm (2-1/2 inch), 76 mm (3 inch), or 89 mm (3-1/2 inch) cutting-height settings. Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time. Do not cut below the 64 mm (2-1/2 inch) setting unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down. For improved runtime, cut grass at a higher height of cut.
-
When cutting grass over 15 cm (6 inches) tall, first mow at the highest cutting-height setting and a slower speed; then mow again at a lower setting for the best lawn appearance. If the grass is too long and the leaves clump on top of the lawn, the machine may plug and cause the motor to stall.
-
Wet grass and leaves tend to clump on the yard and can cause the machine to plug or the motor to stall. Avoid mowing in wet conditions.
-
Be aware of a potential fire hazard in very dry conditions, follow all local fire warnings, and keep the machine free of dry grass and leaf debris.
-
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:
-
Sharpen the blade.
-
Mow at a slower pace.
-
Raise the cutting height on your machine.
-
Cut the grass more frequently.
-
Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath with each pass.
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, mow at a higher cutting height and then again at the desired cutting height.
-
Slow down your mowing speed if the machine does not cut the leaves finely enough.
After Operation
