information and Note emphasizes general information

worthy of special attention.

It is a violation of California Public Resource Code

Section 4442 or 4443 to use or operate the engine on

any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered

land unless the engine is equipped with a spark

arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained in

effective working order or the engine is constructed,

equipped, and maintained for the prevention of fire.

Gross or Net Torque: The gross or net torque

of this engine was laboratory rated by the engine

manufacturer in accordance with the Society of

Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1940 or J2723. As

configured to meet safety, emission, and operating

requirements, the actual engine torque on this class

of mower will be significantly lower. Please refer to

the engine manufacturer's information included with

the machine.

Important:

1500 m (5,000 ft) for a continuous period, ensure

that the High Altitude Kit has been installed

so that the engine meets CARB/EPA emission

regulations. The High Altitude Kit increases

engine performance while preventing spark-plug

fouling, hard starting, and increased emissions.

Once you have installed the kit, attach the

high-altitude label next to the serial decal on the

machine. Contact any Authorized Toro Service

Dealer to obtain the proper High Altitude Kit and

high-altitude label for your machine. To locate

a dealer convenient to you, access our website

at www.Toro.com or contact our Toro Customer

Care Department at the number(s) listed in your

Emission Control Warranty Statement.

Remove the kit from the engine and restore the

engine to its original factory configuration when

running the engine under 1500 m (5,000 ft). Do

not operate an engine that has been converted

for high-altitude use at lower altitudes; otherwise,

you could overheat and damage the engine.
