    g367278

    Figure 25

  • Inspect the area where you will use the machine and remove all objects that the machine could throw.

  • Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never deliberately mow over any object.

  • If the machine strikes an object or starts to vibrate, immediately shut off the motor, remove the electric-start key, and examine the machine for damage.

  • For best performance, ensure that the blade is sharp before the cutting season begins.

  • Replace a damaged blade with a new Toro replacement blade.

Cutting Grass

  • Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time. Do not cut below the highest setting (30 mm or 1-1/4 inches) unless the grass is sparse, or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down.

  • Do not mow grass over 15 cm (6 inches) long because the machine may plug or the motor may stall.

  • Wet grass and leaves tend to clump on the yard and can cause the machine to plug or the motor to stall. Mow only in dry conditions if possible.

    Warning

    Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if you slip and contact the cutting blade.

    Mow only in dry conditions if possible.

  • 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.

  • If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try 1 or more of the following:

    • Inspect the cutting unit and/or replace the cutting blade.

    • 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.

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.

  • Mowing grass over 15 cm (6 inches) in length is not recommended. If the leaf cover is too thick, the machine may plug and cause the motor to stall.

  • Slow down your mowing speed if the machine does not cut the leaves finely enough.
