If the engine fails to start, wait The blade-control switch (PTO) starts and stops the 15 seconds between attempts. Failure to follow mower blades and any powered attachments.
Shutting Off the Engine Using the Motion-Control Levers CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended. Always remove the key and engage the parking brake when leaving the machine unattended.
Driving the Machine The drive wheels turn independently, powered by hydraulic motors on each axle. You can turn 1 side in reverse while you turn the other forward, causing the machine to spin rather than turn. This greatly improves the machine maneuverability but may require some time for you to adapt to how it moves.
Driving Backward Using the Side Discharge Move the levers to the center, unlocked position. Machines with Side Discharge To go backward, slowly pull the motion-control Only levers rearward (Figure 23). The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf.

Maintenance Service Maintenance Procedure Interval • Check the battery charge. Monthly • Grease the deck drive PTO. • Repack the caster-wheel bearings (more often in dirty or dusty conditions). Yearly • Greasing the caster-wheel hubs. • If you operate the machine less than 200 hours, change the engine oil and filter. Important: Refer to your engine owner's manual for additional maintenance procedures.
Lubrication Greasing the Machine Service Interval: Every 400 hours/Yearly (whichever comes first)—Grease the deck-idler pivots. Yearly—Grease the deck drive PTO. Grease more frequently when operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy. Grease Type: No. 2 lithium or molybdenum grease Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the blade-control switch, and engage the parking Lubricating the Drive brake.

While the exposure from Toro products may be negligible or well within the “no significant risk” range, out of an abundance of caution, Toro has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover, if Toro does not provide these warnings, it could be sued by the State of California or by private parties seeking to enforce Prop 65 and subject to substantial penalties.
