manual will help you and others avoid personal injury

and damage to the product. Although Toro designs,

produces and markets safe, state-of-the-art products,

you are responsible for using the product properly

The Toro warning system in this manual identifies

potential hazards and has special safety messages that

help you and others avoid personal injury, even death.

DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are signal

words used to identify the level of hazard. However,

regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful.

DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause

serious injury or death if the recommended

precautions are not followed.

WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious

injury or death if the recommended precautions are

not followed.

CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or

moderate injury if the recommended precautions are

not followed.

Two other words are also used to highlight

information. “Important” calls attention to special

mechanical information and “Note” emphasizes

general information worthy of special attention.

The left and right side of the machine is determined

by standing behind the handle in the normal

operator’s position.

Safety

Training

1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with

the controls and the proper use of the equipment.

2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with

these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local

regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

3. Never mow while people, especially children, or

pets are nearby.

4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is

responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to

other people or their property.

Preparation

1. While mowing, always wear substantial

footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the

equipment when barefoot or wearing open

sandals.

2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the

equipment is to be used and remove all objects

which may be thrown by the machine.

3. WARNING – Petrol is highly flammable.

•Store fuel in containers specifically

designed for this purpose.

•Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke

while refuelling.

•Add fuel before starting the engine. Never

remove the cap of the fuel tank or add

petrol while the engine is running or when

the engine is hot.

•If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start

the engine but move the machine away

from the area of spillage and avoid creating

any source of ignition until petrol vapors

have dissipated.

•Replace all fuel tanks and container caps

securely.

4. Replace faulty silencers.

5. Before using, always visually inspect to see that

the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are

not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged

blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.

6. On multi–bladed machines, take care as rotating

one blade can cause other blades to rotate.

Operation

1. Do not operate the engine in a confined space

where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can

collect.

2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

3. Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass,

where feasible.

4. Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

5. Walk, never run.

6. For wheeled rotary machines, mow across the

face of slopes, never up and down.

7. Exercise extreme caution when changing

direction on slopes.

8. Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

9. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling

the lawnmower towards you.

Safety

GB–3

10. Stop the blade(s) if the lawnmower has to be

tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces

other than grass, and when transporting the

lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed.

11. Never operate the lawnmower with defective

guards or shields, or without safety devices for

example deflectors and/or grass catchers in

place.

12. Do not change the engine governor settings or

overspeed the engine.

13. Disengage all blade and drive clutches before

starting the engine.

14. Start the engine or switch on the motor carefully

according to instructions and with feet well away

from the blade(s).

15. Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the

engine or switching on the motor, except if the

lawnmower has to be tilted for starting. In this

case, do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary

and lift only the part which is away from the

operator.

16. Do not start the engine when standing in front of

the discharge chute.

17. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating

parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all

times.

18. Never pick up or carry a lawnmower while the

engine is running.

19. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug

wire.

•before clearing blockages or unclogging

chute;

•before checking, cleaning or working on the

lawnmower;

•after striking a foreign object. Inspect the

lawnmower for damage and make repairs

before restarting and operating the

lawnmower;

•if lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally

(check immediately).

20. Stop the engine

•whenever you leave the lawnmower;

•before refuelling.

21. Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut

down and, if the engine is provided with a

shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion

of mowing.

Maintenance and storage

1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure

the equipment is in safe working condition.

2. Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank

inside a building where fumes may reach an

open flame or spark.

3. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any

enclosure.

4. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,

silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage

area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

5. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or

deterioration.

6. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

7. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be

done outdoors.
