Mowing Tips
Figure 23
F ollo w these instr uction whether cutting g rass or lea v es for
the best cutting results and la wn appearance .
• Maintain a shar p blade throughout the mo wing season.
• Onl y mo w dr y g rass. W et g rass tends to clump on the
yard and ma y cause the mo w er to plug up or the motor
to stall. T hey ma y also be slipper y to w alk on and could
cause y ou to slip and fall.
• W hen cutting v er y tall g rass , y ou ma y w ant to first mo w
at the highest height-of-cut setting and a slo w er w alking
speed; then mo w ag ain at a lo w er setting for best la wn
appearance .
• If the finished cut la wn appearance is unsatisfactor y , tr y
one or more of the follo wing:
– Shar pen the blade .
– W alk at a slo w er pace while mo wing .
– Raise the height-of-cut setting on y our mo w er .
– Cut the g rass more frequently .
– Ov erlap cutting sw aths instead of cutting a full
sw ath with eac h pass .
Maintenance
T oro has designed this product to gi v e y ou years of
trouble-free use . Should it need ser vice , bring the product
to an A uthorized T oro Ser vice Dealer .
W hen the mo w er is connected to a nor mal household
po w er source, the mo w er is operational. Someone

Double-insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance , tw o systems of insulation
are pro vided instead of g rounding . No g rounding means
is pro vided on a double-insulated appliance , nor should a
means for g rounding be added to the appliance . Ser vicing
a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and
kno wledg e of the system, and should be done only b y
the qualified ser vice personnel at an A uthorized T oro
Ser vice Dealer . R e placement par ts for a double-insulated
appliance m ust be identical to the par ts they re place . A
double-insulated appliance is mark ed with the w ords
“Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated. ” T he symbol
(square within a square) ma y also be mark ed on the
appliance .

Cleaning the Mower Housing
After eac h use , clean the mo w er housing .
Before cleaning, stop the motor , w ait for all mo ving par ts to
stop , and disconnect the mo w er from the po w er source .
Important: Do not clean the mo w er with w ater .
Moistur e can get trapped in the mo w er and may cause
cor r osion of inter nal par ts.
• Clean the underside of the mo w er housing . R emo v e dir t
and g rass clippings with a hardw ood scraper .
• R emo v e the debris from the housing v ents along the
top of the mo w er .
• Br ush all the debris off the mo w er housing .
• Inspect the po w er plug rece ptacle for signs of melting
or heating . Old w or n-out extension cord plugs that fit
loosely in the plug rece ptacle can cause o v erheating
from poor contact. R e place any damag ed extension
cords immediately (if applicable) .
Servicing the Blade
Alw a ys mo w with a shar p blade . As shar p blade cuts the
g rass ev enly , without tearing or shredding the g rass .
W hen y ou re place the blade , use only g eniune T oro
re placement blades .
Someone could accidentall y star t the motor
and cause a serious injur y to the operator or to
bystander s.
Do not attempt to inspect, r emo v e, or r eplace the
blade without fir st disconnecting the mo w er fr om
the po w er source.
1. Stop the motor and w ait for all mo ving par ts to stop .
2. Disconnect the mo w er from the electrical po w er source .
3. Tip the mo w er onto its side .
4. Carefully examine the blade for shar pness and w ear ,
especially where the flat and cur v ed par ts of the blade
meet. If y ou notice w ear , re place the blade .
Note: F or best perfor mance , install a new blade before
the mo wing season begins . During the season, file do wn
small nic ks on the blade to maintain its cutting edg e .
A w or n or dama ged blade could br eak and a
piece of blade could be thr o wn in the operator’ s
or bystander’ s dir ection, causing serious per sonal
injur y or death.
Inspect the blade periodicall y f or w ear or dama ge,
and r eplace a w or n or dama ged blade.
Removing the Blade
1. Grasp the end of the blade ( Figure 24 ) with a rag or
thic kly padded glo v e .

2. R emo v e the blade bolt and the blade .
Important: If the blade adapter comes of f,
ensur e that y ou install it bef or e installing the blade
and blade bolt. Operating the mo w er without the
blade adapter will dama ge the mo w er .
Sharpening the Blade
Use a file to shar pen the top side of the blade and maintain
the original cutting angle .
Note: T he blade will remain balanced if y ou remo v e the
same amount of material from both cutting edg es .
Important: Check the balance of the blade by
putting it on a blade balancer . Y ou can purchase an
inexpensi v e balancer at a hard w ar e stor e. A balanced
blade stays in a horiz ontal position; an unbalanced
blade settles to the hea vy side. If the blade is not
balanced, file mor e metal of f the cutting edge on the
hea vy end of the blade.

Installing the Blade
Install a shar p , balanced blade and the blade bolt. T he sail
par t of the blade m ust point to w ard the top of the mo w er
housing to ensure cor rect installation. Tighten the blade
bolt to 15 N ⋅ m.
Servicing the On/Off and Blade
Brake System
T he motor and blade are designed to stop within 3 seconds
after y ou release the control bar . Ensure that the control bar
functions properly eac h time before y ou operate the mo w er .
