Never operate the machine when under the influ- ence of drugs or alcohol. 4. Before attempting to start engine, shift into neutral and lock parking brake. 5. Remove all debris or other objects that might be picked up and thrown by the cutter blades. Keep all by- standers away from the mowing area. 6. Do not operate unless all shields and safety de- vices are in place. If a shield, safety device or decal is illegible or damaged, repair or replace it before opera- tion is commenced. Also tighten any loose nuts, bolts and screws to assure machine is in safe operating con- dition. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7. Do not operate machine while wearing sandals, tennis shoes, sneakers or shorts. Also, do not wear loose fitting clothing which could get caught in moving parts. Always wear long pants and substantial shoes. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes and a helmet is advisable and required by some local ordinances and insurance regulations. 8. Fill fuel tank with gasoline before starting the en- gine. Avoid spilling gasoline. Since gasoline is flam- mable, handle it carefully. A. Use an approved gasoline container. B. Do not fill tank while engine is hot or running. C. Do not smoke while handling gasoline. D. Fill fuel tank outdoors and up to about one inch (25 mm) from top of the tank, not the filler neck. E. Wipe up any spilled gasoline. WHILE OPERATING 9. Start engine when parking brake is set, blade is disengaged, and transmission is in neutral. 10. Do not run the engine in a confined area without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and could possibly be deadly. 11. Using the machine demands attention, and to pre- vent loss of control: A. Mow only in daylight or when there is good artifi- cial light. B. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards. C. Do not drive close to a sand trap, ditch, creek or other hazard. D. Reduce speed when making sharp turns and when turning on hillsides. 12. The grass deflector must always be installed and in lowest position on the side discharge cutting unit, ex- cept when using the optional grass catcher. This prod- uct is designed to drive objects into the ground where they lose energy quickly in grassy areas. However don’t take an injury risk!! When a person or pet ap- pears unexpectedly in or near the mowing area, STOP MOWING. Careless operation, combined with terrain angles, ricochets, or improperly positioned guards, can lead to thrown object injuries. Do not resume mow- ing until area is cleared. If the cutting unit discharge area ever plugs, shut engine off before removing the obstruction. 13. Never raise the cutting unit while the blades are ro- tating. 14. Ifthe cutting blades strike a solid object or the ma- chine vibrates abnormally, shut the engine off. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug to prevent possibility of accidental starting. Check cutting unit and traction unit for damage and malfunctioning parts. Repair any dam- age before restarting the engine and operating the cut- ting unit. Be sure blades are in good condition and blade bolts are tight. 15. Cut grass slopes carefully. Do not start, stop, or turn suddenly. 16. Do not touch engine or muffier while engine is run- ning or soon after it is stopped. These areas could be hot enough to cause a burn. 17. Before leaving the operator's position — behind handle or leaving mower unattended, shift transmis- sion into NEUTRAL, apply parking brake, release con- trol bail and shut OFF engine. MAINTENANCE 18. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug to pre- vent accidental starting of the engine when servicing, adjusting or storing the machine. 19. If traction unit and mower must be tipped to per- form maintenance or an adjustment, drain gasoline from fuel tank and oil from crankcase. 20. When driving unit forward, always use upper “For- ward” traction drive handle. When backing up, always use lower “Reverse” traction drive handle. 21. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and accumula- tions of dirt. 22. Be sure machine is in safe operating condition by keeping nuts, bolts and screws tight. Check the blade mounting bolts and nuts frequently to be sure they are tightened to specification. 23. Ifthe engine must be running to perform a mainte- nance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and oth- er parts of the body away from the cutting unit blades and other moving parts. 24. Do not overspeed the engine by changing gover- nor settings. To be sure of safety and accuracy, have an Authorized TORO Proline Service Dealer check maxi- mum engine speed with a tachometer. 25. Engine must be shut off before checking oil or add- ing oil to the crankcase. 26. Allow engine to cool before storing mower in any enclosure such as a garage or storage shed. Make sure the mower fuel tank is empty if machine is to be stored in excess of 30 days. Do not store mower near any open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ig- nited by a spark. Always store gasoline in a safety —ap- proved, red metal container. 27. Perform only those maintenance instructions de- scribed in this manual.

BEFORE OPERATING FILL CRANKCASE WITH OIL The engine does not have oil in the crankcase when itis shipped from the factory. If engine is started be- fore oil is added to the crankcase, engine damage could result. Therefore, before engine is started for the first time: 1. Position mower on level surface. 2. Clean area around the oil dipstick to prevent for- eign matter from entering the filler hole when dipstick is removed. 3. Remove dipstick (Fig. 10). Figure 10 1. Dipstick 4. Slowly pour approximately 4 pints of oil into the fill- er neck. The engine uses any high quality detergent oil having the American Petroleum Institute —API — “ser- vice classification” SF. The recommended oil to use is: SAE 5W20 or 5W30 (below 320 F) SAE 30 (above 320 F). SAE 10W30 or 10W40 may also be used when tem- perature is above OOF. 5. Wipe end of dipstick with cleanrag and insert it into filler neck. Then remove the dipstick and check level of oil by reading the dipstick (Fig. 10). If level of oil is low, add only enough oil to raise level to FULL mark on dip- stick. DO NOT ADD OIL SO LEVEL RISES ABOVE FULL MARK BECAUSE ENGINE COULD BE DAMAGED WHEN IT IS STARTED. 6. Insert dipstick into filler neck and tighten. Note: Check level of oil after every 5 operating hours or each time the mower is used. Initially, change oil after the first 5 hours of operation; thereafter, when condi- tions are normal, change oil after every 50 hours of op- eration. However, change oil more frequently when mower is operated in dusty or dirty conditions. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE Tires are over inflated at the factory. Check tires and in- sure they are inflated to 15 psi. FILL FUEL TANK WITH GASOLINE THE TORO COMPANY STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE USE OF FRESH CLEAN, UNLEADED REGULAR GRADE GASOLINE IN TORO GASOLINE POWERED PRODUCTS. UNLEADED GASOLINE BURNS CLEAN- ER, EXTENDS ENGINE LIFE, AND PROMOTES GOOD STARTING BY REDUCING THE BUILD-UP OF COM- BUSTION CHAMBER DEPOSITS. NOTE: NEVER USE METHANOL, GASOLINE CON- TAINING METHANOL, GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL, GASOLINE ADDI- TIVES, PREMIUM GASOLINE, OR WHITE GAS BE- CAUSE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD RESULT. 1. Clean area around fuel tank cap and remove cap from tank. 2. Fill fuel tank to about 1 inch from top of the tank, not filler neck. Install fuel tank cap securely. 3. Wipe up spilled gasoline. A DANGER Because gasoline is flammable, caution must be used when storing or handlingit. Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running, hot or when machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may build up and be ignited by a spark or flame source many feet away. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to prevent the possi- bility of an explosion. Always fill fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled gasoline before starting engine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling gasoline before starting engine and fill tank to about one inch from top of tank, not filler neck. Store gasoline in a clean safety— ap- proved container and keep the cap in place on the container. Keep gasoline In a cool, well —ventilated place; never in an enclosed area such as a hot storage shed. To assure volatility, do not buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline. Gasoline is a fuel for internal combus- tion engines; therefore, do not use it for any other purpose. Since many children like the smell of gas, keep it out of their reach because the fumes are explosive and dangerous to inhale.

Install the new oil filter to the filter adapter. Tight- en oil filter clockwise until the rubber gasket con- tacts the filter adapter, then tighten the filter an ad- ditional 1/4 turn. Fill the crankcase with new oil (4 pints). Refer to Check Crankcase Oil Level, page 10. FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT An in-line filter is incorporated into the fuel line be- tween the fuel tank and carburetor (Fig. 17). Use the following procedures should replacement become neces nr ace а EEE EEE LLL а, Figure 17 1. Fuel filter 2. Hose clamps 1. Close fuel shut off valve, loosen the hose clamp on the carburetor side of filter and remove the fuel line from the filter. 2. Place a drain pan under filter, loosen the remaining hose clamp and remove filter. CAUTION Since gasoline is highly flammable, drain it outdoors and make sure engine is cool to prevent a potential fire hazard. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled. Do not drain gasoline near any open flame or where gas- oline fumes may be ignited by a spark. Do not smoke a cigar, cigarette, or a pipe when handling gasoline. 3. Install the new filter with arrow on the filter body pointing towards the carburetor. REPLACING SPARK PLUG Since air gap between center and side electrodes of the spark plug increases gradually during normal oper- ation of the engine, check condition of electrodes after every 50 operating hours. Recommended air gap is 0.035 ofan inch (0.9 mm). Correct spark plug to use is a Champion RC 12YC. 11 MAINTENANCE Note: The spark plug usually lasts a long time; howev- er, the plug should be removed and checked whenever the engine malfunctions. 1. Clean area around spark plug so foreign matter cannot fall into cylinder when spark plug is removed. 2. Pull spark plug wire off spark plug and remove plug from cylinder head. 3. Check condition of side electrode, center elec- trode, and center electrode insulator to assure there is no damage. IMPORTANT: A cracked, fouled, dirty or otherwise malfunctioning spark plug must be replaced. Do not sand blast, scrape, or clean electrodes by using a wire brush because grit may eventually release from the plug and fall into the cylinder. The resultis usually a damaged engine. 4. Set air gap between center and side of electrodes at 0.035 of an inch (0.9 mm) (Fig. 18). Install correctly gapped spark plug w/gasket seal, and tighten plug to 18 ft—Ib (24.4 Nm). Iftorque wrenchis not used, tighten plug firmly. Figure 18 ADJUSTING THROTTLE-CHOKE CON- TROL Proper choke operation is dependent upon proper ad- justment of the throttle control. Before adjusting the carburetor, assure the throttle control is operating properly. 1. Remove the retaining knob holding air cleaner in place and lift air cleaner assembly off carburetor. 2. Move throttle control to CHOKE position and check the position of the choke butterfly; it should be fully closed. 3. Move throttle control to FAST position.
