Mowing Tips
Figure 23
Follow these instruction whether cutting grass for the
best cutting results and lawn appearance.
• Maintain a sharp blade throughout the mowing
season.
• Only mow dry grass. Wet grass tends to clump on
the yard and may cause the mower to plug up or the
motor to stall. They may also be slippery to walk on
and could cause you to slip and fall.
• While cutting single swaths, ensure an overlap of
about 4 cm.
• When cutting very tall grass, you may want to first
mow at the highest height-of-cut setting and a slower
walking speed; then mow again at a lower setting for
best lawn appearance.
• If the finished cut lawn appearance is unsatisfactory,
try one or more of the following:
– Sharpen the blade.
– Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
– Raise the height-of-cut setting on your mower.
– Cut the grass more frequently.
– Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full
swath with each pass.
Maintenance
Toro has designed this product to give you years of
trouble-free use. Should it need service, bring the
product to an Authorized Toro Service Dealer.
WARNING
When the mower is connected to a household power
source, the mower is operational. Someone could
accidentally start the mower and cause a serious
injury to you or other bystanders.
Always disconnect the mower from the power
source when you leave the mower unattended.
Double-insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added
to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and
should be done only by the qualified service personnel
at an Authorized Toro Service Dealer. Replacement
parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical
to the parts they replace. A double-insulated appliance is
marked with the words “Double Insulation” or “Double
Insulated.” The symbol (square within a square)
may
also be marked on the appliance.
Cleaning the Mower Housing
After each use, clean the mower housing.
Before cleaning, stop the motor, wait for all moving
parts to stop, and disconnect the mower from the power
source.
Important:
Do not clean the mower with water.
Moisture can get trapped in the mower and may
cause corrosion of internal parts.
• Clean the underside of the mower housing. Remove
dirt and grass clippings with a hardwood scraper.
• Remove the debris from the housing vents along the
top of the mower.
• Brush all the debris off the mower housing.
• Inspect the power plug receptacle for signs of
melting or heating. Old worn-out extension cord
plugs that fit loosely in the plug receptacle can
cause overheating from poor contact. Replace any
damaged extension cords immediately (if applicable)
.
