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.
DANGER
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, and when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
• Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck.
Do not fill to the top of the filler neck.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay away from an open flame or where a spark may ignite the gasoline fumes.
• Store gasoline in an approved fuel container and keep it out of the reach of children.
• Never buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
DANGER
When fueling, under certain circumstances, a static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and damage property.
• Always place gasoline containers on the ground and away from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.
• When practical, remove gasoline-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container, not from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• If you must use a gasoline dispenser nozzle, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner regularly during operation and storage. A stabilizer/conditioner cleans the engine during operation and prevents gum-like varnish deposits from forming in the engine during periods of storage.
Important: Do not use fuel additives other than a fuel stabilizer/conditioner. Do not use fuel stabilizers with an alcohol base such as ethanol, methanol, or isopropanol.

Mowing with the Grass Bag
WARNING
A worn grass bag could allow small stones and other similar debris to be thrown in the operator’s or bystander’s direction and result in serious personal injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged, install a new Toro replacement bag.
Removing the Grass Bag
1.
Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2.
Raise the discharge door handle and move it forward
to engage the pin with the catch (Figure 19).
3.
Grasp the handles at the front and the rear of the bag and lift the bag off the machine.
4.
Gradually tip the bag forward to empty the clippings.
5.
To install the bag, refer to
Installing the Grass Bag (page 11).
DANGER
If the discharge door does not close completely, the machine could throw objects, causing serious personal injury or death.
If you cannot close the door because the grass clippings clog the discharge area, stop the engine and gently move the discharge door handle back and forth until you can close the door completely.
If you still cannot close the door, remove the obstruction with a stick, not your hand.
DANGER
This machine can throw grass clippings and other objects through an open discharge tunnel.
Objects thrown with enough force could cause serious personal injury or death to the operator or bystander.
Never open the door on the discharge tunnel when the engine is running.
Operating Tips
General Tips
• Review the safety instructions and read this manual carefully before operating the machine.
• Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and other debris that the blade could hit and throw.
• Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away from the area of operation.
• •Avoid striking trees, walls, curbs, or other solid objects.
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.
• Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season.
Periodically file down nicks on the blade.
• Replace the blade when necessary with an original Toro replacement blade.
• 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.
• Clean under the machine housing after each mowing.
Refer to Cleaning under the Machine Housing (page 20).
• Keep the engine in good running condition.
• Set the engine speed to the fastest position for the best cutting results.
WARNING
Operating a machine with its engine running at a speed greater than the factory setting can cause the machine to throw a part of the blade or engine into the operator’s or bystander’s area and result in serious personal injury or death.
– Do not change the engine speed setting.
– If you suspect the engine speed is faster than normal, contact an Authorized Service
Dealer.
• Clean the air filter frequently. Mulching stirs up more clippings and dust which clogs the air filter and reduces engine performance.
Cutting Grass
• Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year. In the summer heat, it is best to cut grass at the 2 inch (51 mm), 2-1/2 inch (64 mm), or 3 inch (76 mm) cutting height settings. Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time. Do not cut below the 2 inch (51 mm) setting unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down.
• When cutting grass over 6 inches (15 cm) tall, first mow at the highest cutting-height setting and walk slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the best lawn appearance.
12
If the grass is too long and the leaves clump on top of the lawn, the machine may plug and cause the engine to stall.
• 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:
• Sharpen the blade.
• 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 2 inches (51 mm) and the rear wheels at 2-1/2 inches (64 mm).
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.
• For light leaf coverage, set all the wheels at the same cutting height setting.
• If there are more than 5 inches (12.7 cm) of leaves on the lawn, set the front cutting height 1 or 2 notches higher than the rear cutting height. This makes it easier to feed the leaves under the machine housing.
• Slow down your mowing speed if the machine does not cut the leaves finely enough.
• If you mow over oak leaves, you can add lime to the grass in the spring to reduce the acidity of the oak leaves.
