Filling the Fuel Tank
DANGER
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting the gasoline, place the container and/or machine directly on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.
• Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold.
Wipe up spills.
• Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.
• Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out of the reach of children.
• For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
• Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE by volume is acceptable.
• Do not use ethanol blends of gasoline, such as E15 or E85, with more than 10% ethanol by volume.
Performance problems and/or engine damage may result, which may not be covered under warranty.
• Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
• Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or in fuel containers over the winter unless fuel stabilizer has been added to the fuel.
• Do not add oil to gasoline.

Operating Tips
General Mowing Tips
• Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and other debris that the blade could hit.
• Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never deliberately mow over any object.
• If the machine strikes an object or starts to vibrate, immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire from the spark plug, and examine the machine for damage.
• For best performance, install a new blade before the cutting season begins.
• Replace the blade when necessary with a Toro replacement blade.
Cutting Grass
• Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time. Do not cut below the 51 mm (2 in) setting unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow
down. Refer to Adjusting the Cutting Height (page 9).
• When cutting grass over 15 cm (6 inches) tall, mow at the highest cutting height setting and walk slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the best lawn appearance. If the grass is too long, the machine may plug and cause the engine to stall.
• Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves tend to clump on the yard and can cause the machine to plug or the engine to stall.
WARNING
Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if you slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dry conditions.
• Be aware of a potential fire hazard in very dry conditions, follow all local fire warnings, and keep the machine free of dry grass and leaf debris.
13
• Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.
• If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try one or more of the following:
– Replace the blade or have it sharpened.
– Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
– Raise the cutting height on your machine.
– Cut the grass more frequently.
– Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath with each pass.
– Set the cutting height on the front wheels one notch lower than the rear wheels. For example, set the front wheels at 51 mm (2 in) and the rear wheels at 64 mm
(2-1/2 in).
Cutting Leaves
• After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need to make more than one pass over the leaves.
• If there are more than 13 cm (5 inches) of leaves on the lawn, set the front cutting height one or two notches higher than the rear cutting height.
• Slow down your mowing speed if the machine does not cut the leaves finely enough.
Maintenance
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

Push the cable jacket upward 3 mm (1/8 inch).
Note: You can place a ruler against the upper side of the black cable mount and measure how far the upper
end of the cable jacket moves (Figure 45).
Important: Moving the cable jacket upward decreases the ground speed; moving the jacket downward increases the ground speed.
5.
Tighten the nut firmly.
6.
Start the mower and check the adjustment.
Note: If the self-propel drive is not properly adjusted, repeat this procedure.
Replacing the Blade
Service Interval: Yearly
Important: You will need a torque wrench to install the blade properly . If you do not have a torque wrench or are uncomfortable performing this procedure, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Examine the blade whenever you run out of gasoline. If the blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately. If the blade edge is dull or nicked, have it sharpened and balanced, or replace it.
WARNING
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result in serious personal injury.
Wear gloves when servicing the blade.
1.
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
Refer to Preparing for Maintenance (page 14).
2.
Tip the machine onto its side, with the dipstick down.
3.
Use a block of wood to hold the blade steady

Cleaning under the Machine
Housing
Service Interval: After each use
WARNING
The machine may dislodge material from under the machine housing.
• Wear eye protection.
• Stay in the operating position (behind the handle) when the engine is running.
• Do not allow bystanders in the area.
For best results, clean under the machine housing soon after you have completed mowing.
1.
Lower the machine to its lowest cutting-height setting;
refer to Adjusting the Cutting Height (page 9).
2.
Move the machine onto a flat paved surface.
3.
With the engine running and the blade engaged, spray a stream of water in front of the right rear wheel (Figure
49).
Figure 47
Important: Position the curved ends of the blade to point toward the machine housing.
6.
Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt to 60 ft-lb (82 N-m).
Important: A bolt torqued to 60 ft-lb (82 N-m) is very tight. While holding the blade with a block of wood, put your weight behind the ratchet or wrench and tighten the bolt securely. This bolt is very difficult to overtighten.
18
Figure 48
Note: The water will splash into the path of the blade, cleaning out the clippings.
4.
When no more clippings come out, stop the water and move the machine to a dry area.
5.
Run the engine with the blade engaged for a few minutes to dry the housing to prevent it from rusting.
Storage
Store the machine in a cool, clean, dry place.
2.
Move the handle to the upright position (Figure 50).
Preparing the Machine for
Storage
WARNING
Gasoline vapors can explode.
• Do not store gasoline more than 30 days.
• Do not store the machine in an enclosure near an open flame.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing it.
1.
On the last refueling of the year, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel as directed by the engine manufacturer.
2.
Dispose of any unused fuel properly. Recycle it according to local codes, or use it in your automobile.
Note: Old fuel in the fuel tank is the leading cause of hard starting. Do not store fuel without stabilizer more than 30 days, and do not store stabilized fuel more than
90 days.
3.
Run the machine until the engine stops from running out of fuel.
4.
Start the engine again.
5.
Allow the engine to run until it stops. When you can no longer start the engine, it is sufficiently dry.
6.
Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
7.
Remove the spark plug, add 30 ml (1 oz) of oil through the spark-plug hole, and pull the starter rope slowly several times to distribute oil throughout the cylinder to prevent cylinder corrosion during the off-season.
8.
Loosely install the spark plug.
9.
Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.
