Operating Tips
General Tips
* Review the safety instructions and read this manual
carefully before operating the lawn mower.
Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and
other debris which could be picked up or hit by the
blade and become thrown objects.
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 lawn mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
innnediately stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug
wire, and examine the lawn mower 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.

tend to clump on the yard and may cause the lawn
mower to plug or the engine to stall.

contact the blade.
