During Operation
During Operation Safety
General Safety
•
Wear appropriate clothing, including eye
protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant
footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long
hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose
jewelry.
•
Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur.
•
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result
in serious personal injury. Shut off the engine and
wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
•
When you release the blade-control bar, the
engine should shut off and the blade should stop
within 3 seconds. If not, stop using your machine
immediately and contact an Authorized Service
Dealer.
•
Keep bystanders out of the operating area. Keep
small children out of the operating area and under
the watchful care of a responsible adult who is
not operating the machine. Stop the machine if
anyone enters the area.
•
Always look down and behind you before moving
the machine in reverse.
•
Operate the machine only in good visibility and
appropriate weather conditions. Do not operate
the machine when there is the risk of lightning.
•
Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if
you slip and contact the blade. Avoid mowing in
wet conditions.
•
Use extreme care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may
block your view.
•
Do not direct the discharge material toward
anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall
or obstruction; material may ricochet toward you.
Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel surfaces.
•
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause you
to lose your balance or footing.
•
If the machine strikes an object or starts to
vibrate, immediately shut off the engine, wait for
all moving parts to stop, and disconnect the wire
from the spark plug before examining the machine
for damage. Make all necessary repairs before
resuming operation.
•
Before leaving the operating position, shut off the
engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
•
If the engine has been running, it will be hot and
can severely burn you. Keep away from the hot
engine.
•
Operate the engine only in well-ventilated areas.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which
is lethal if inhaled.
•
Check the grass catcher components and the
discharge chute frequently for any wear or
deterioration and replace them with genuine Toro
parts when necessary.
Slope Safety
•
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and
down. Use extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
•
Do not mow on excessively steep slopes. Poor
footing could cause a slip-and-fall accident.
•
Mow with caution near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments.
Starting the Engine
1.
Hold the blade-control bar against the handle
(A of
Figure
13).
2.
Pull the recoil-start handle lightly until you feel
resistance, then pull it sharply, and allow it to
return to the rope guide on the handle slowly (B
of
Figure
13).
Note:
If the machine does not start after several
attempts, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
