Operation

Securing the Extension Cord

Note: T his procedure is for mo w ers that require an

extension cord.

Use only an extension cord recommended for outdoor use .

Contacting w ater while operating the mo w er could

cause an electric shock, which can cause an injur y

or death.

• Don’ t handle the plug or the mo w er with w et

hands or while standing in w ater .

• Use onl y an extension cord r ecommended f or

outdoor cold w eather use.

1. F or m a loop in the extension cord and secure it in the

cord loc k ( Figure 12 ).

Figure 12

2. Connect the extension cord to the mo w er plug ( Figure

13 ).

Figure 13

Note: Do not unplug the extension cord b y pulling on

the cord; to unplug the cord, g rasp the plug, not the

cord.

T he electrical cord could be dama ged, causing a

shock or ﬁr e.

T hor oughl y inspect the electrical cord bef or e using

the mo w er . If the cord is dama ged, do not operate

the mo w er . Ha v e an Authoriz ed T or o Ser vice Dealer

r eplace or r epair a dama ged cord immediatel y .

Planning Your Mowing Pattern

F ollo wing the sug g ested mo wing patter n will reduce the risk

of r unning o v er the cord with the mo w er , and the cord will

not sustain unnecessar y w ear . Do not allo w the po w er cord

to wrap around trees , shr ubs , or other obstacles .

Begin b y mo wing near the electrical po w er source . Mo w

bac k and for th, g radually mo wing a w a y from the po w er

source ( Figure 14 ).

2. Disconnect the mo w er from the po w er source if y ou

lea v e the mo w er unattended.

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

T he mo w er has 6 height-of-cut positions (all heights are

appro ximate): A=20 mm; B=31 mm; C=42 mm; D=53

mm; E=64 mm; and F=75 mm.

Adjusting the cutting height lev er s could bring y our

hands and feet into contact with a mo ving blade and

r esult in serious injur y .

Stop the motor and w ait f or all mo ving par ts to stop

bef or e changing the height-of-cut setting .

1. Stop the motor and w ait for all mo ving par ts to stop .

2. Press do wn on the height-of-cut adjustment button with

y our thumb and push do wn or lift up the height-of-cut

handle to the desired cutting height setting sho wn on

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

could accidentall y star t the mo w er and cause a

serious injur y to y ou or other bystander s.

Al w ays disconnect the mo w er fr om the po w er source

when y ou lea v e the mo w er unattended.

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 .

Figure 24

2. Blade

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 .

If the blade does not stop within 3 seconds or there is a

g rinding or scraping, metal-to-metal noise when y ou release

the control bar , contact an A uthorized T oro Ser vice Dealer .

Storage

Store the mo w er in a cool, clean, and dr y place a w a y from
