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 (less than 30 days old), 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.
· Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same. Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for use. Never use gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved

12

gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine damage 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 you use a fuel stabilizer.
· Do not add oil to gasoline.
Important: To reduce starting problems, add fuel stabilizer/conditioner to fresh fuel as directed by the fuel-stabilizer manufacturer.

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 after each mowing; refer to Cleaning under the Machine (page 23).
· Keep the engine in good running condition. · Clean the air filter frequently. Mulching stirs up
more clippings and dust which clogs the air filter and reduces engine performance. · 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 at you or bystanders, resulting 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.
Cutting Grass
· Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year. In the summer heat, it is best to cut

16

grass at the 64 mm (2-1/2 inch), 76 mm (3 inch), or 89 mm (3-1/2 inch) cutting-height settings. Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time. Do not cut below the 64 mm (2-1/2 inch) setting unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down. · When cutting grass over 15 cm (6 inches) tall, first mow at the highest cutting height setting and walk slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the best lawn appearance. 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 1 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 a notch lower than the rear wheels. For example, set the front wheels at 64 mm (2-1/2 inches) and the rear wheels at 76 mm (3 inches).
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 a single pass over the leaves.
· For light leaf coverage, set all the wheels at the same cutting height setting.
· If there are more than 13 cm (5 inches) 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.
· Slow down your mowing speed if the machine does not cut the leaves finely enough.
