Removing the Grass Bag
To remove the bag, reverse the steps above.
The mower can throw grass clippings and
other objects through an open discharge
tunnel. Objects thrown with enough force
could cause serious personal injury or death
to the operator or bystander.
Do not operate the mower without a grass
bag installed.
Mowing with the Grass Bag
A worn grass bag could allow small stones
and other similar debris to be thrown in the
operator’s or bystander’s direction and result
in serious personal injury or death to the
operator or bystanders.
Check the grass bag frequently. If it is
damaged, install a new Toro replacement
bag.
Operating Tips
General Tips
•
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 mower to plug or the engine to stall.
Wet grass or leaves can cause serious
injury if you slip and contact the blade.
Mow only in dry conditions.
•
Clean under the mower housing after each
mowing. See Cleaning under the Mower
Housing.
•
Keep the engine in good running condition.
•
Set the engine speed to the fastest position for
the best cutting results.
