other than these could prove dangerous to user or bystanders.
General Operation
•
Read this manual carefully before operating the mower. Become
familiar with the controls and proper use of the mower. Never allow
children under 16 years of age to operate the mower. Never allow
adults to operate mower without proper instructions.
•
The operator of the mower is responsible for keeping everyone,
especially children and pets, away from area of operation. The
operator is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other
people or their property.
•
Thoroughly inspect area where mower will be used and remove
sticks, stones, wire, and debris that could be picked up and thrown
by mower. Watch for foreign objects while mowing. Objects struck
by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries to persons.
•
Wear long pants and substantial shoes. Do not operate mower
while wearing open-toed shoes, jewelry, loose clothing or when
barefoot. Use of rubber gloves and footwear is recommended
when working outdoors.
•
Keep all guards, shields, safety devices, grass catcher or optional
side discharge chute in place. Repair or replace damaged parts,
including decals. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
•
The motor and blade are designed to stop within 3 seconds after
releasing the control bail. Ensure that the control bail functions
properly before each use of mower. If the blade does not stop
within 3 seconds, or if there is a grinding or scraping metal-to-metal
noise when the control bail is released, contact an Authorized Toro
Service Dealer for proper “On/Off” and blade brake adjustment
or replacement.
•
Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade
fasteners and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace
worn or damaged blades and fasteners in sets to preserve balance.
•
Only use those accessories and attachments designed to be
used with this product. Use of any accessory or attachment not
designed for this product may increase the risk of injury. See
instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories.
While Operating
•
Do not insert key into plug receptacle until you are ready to mow.
•
Do not operate mower in gaseous, explosive atmospheres. Normal
sparking of motor could ignite fumes.
•
Start the motor carefully according to instructions and with feet
well away from the blade.
•
Use Right Appliance – Do not use mower for any job except that
for which it is intended.
•
Stay Alert – Watch what you are doing. Do not operate mower
when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
•
Be alert and turn mower off if children enter the area.
•
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or
other objects that may obscure vision.
•
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The
operator could lose footing or balance.
•
Avoid dangerous environments. Never operate mower in wet
grass or damp locations. Do not use mower in the rain.
•
Always maintain secure footing. Keep a firm grip on the handle
and walk; never run. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
•
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Use
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not mow
excessively steep slopes. Wear skid resistant shoes on slopes.
•
Don’t Overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•
Do not force the mower. It operates best and safest at the rate for
which it was designed.
•
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation to
protect eyes from foreign objects that maybe thrown from the
machine. (Regular eyeglasses are not safety glasses.)
•
Always wear an approved dust mask when using unit in dusty
