• Be aware of the mower discharge path and direct distance (twice the width of the machine) between the discharge away from others. Avoid discharging the machine and any hazard. Use a walk-behind material against a wall or obstruction because the machine or a hand trimmer to mow the grass in material may ricochet back toward you.
Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary; raise it as soon as clearance permits. • In the event of a rollover, take the machine to an Authorized Service Dealer to inspect the ROPS. • Use only Toro approved accessories and attachments for the ROPS.

Engaging the Blade-Control Engaging the Parking Brake Switch (PTO) Park the machine on a level surface.
Operating the Choke Starting the Engine Use the choke to start a cold engine. Note: A warm or hot engine may not require choking. Pull up the choke knob to engage the choke Important: Do not engage the starter for more before using the key switch (Figure 20).
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.
Using the Side Discharge The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf. DANGER Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or a complete grass-catcher assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris.
Adjusting the Anti-Scalp Select a hole in the height-of-cut bracket corresponding to the height-of-cut desired, and Rollers insert the pin (Figure 27). Push on the deck lift, pull up on the transport Whenever you change the height of cut, adjust the lock knob, and slowly lower the mower deck.
It is best to cut only about a third of the grass blade. genuine Toro replacement blade. Cutting more than that is not recommended unless grass is sparse, or it is late fall when grass grows more slowly.
Using the Fuel-Shutoff After Operation Valve After Operation Safety Close the fuel-shutoff valve for transport, maintenance, and storage (Figure 29). General Safety Ensure that the fuel-shutoff valve is open when starting the engine. • Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operator’s position.
Using the Drive-Wheel Release Valves WARNING Hands may become entangled in the rotating drive components below the engine deck, which could result in serious injury. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and allow all moving parts to stop before accessing the drive-wheel release valves.
Transporting the Machine Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine. Use a full-width ramp. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all the necessary brakes, lighting, and marking as required by law. Please carefully read all the safety instructions. Knowing this information could help you or bystanders avoid injury.

If using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle Drive the machine forward down the ramp and connect the safety chains. (Figure 32). If applicable, connect the trailer brakes and lights. Lower the ramp, ensuring that the angle between the ramp and the ground does not exceed 15 degrees (Figure 31).

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.
