Operation
Securing the Extension Cord
Note:
This procedure is for mowers that require an
extension cord.
Use only an extension cord recommended for outdoor
use.
WARNING
Contacting water while operating the mower could
cause an electric shock, which can cause an injury
or death.
• Don’t handle the plug or the mower with wet
hands or while standing in water.
• Use only an extension cord recommended for
outdoor cold weather use.
1. Form a loop in the extension cord and secure it in
the cord lock (Figure 12).
Figure 12
2. Connect the extension cord to the mower plug
(Figure 13).
Figure 13
Note:
Do not unplug the extension cord by pulling
on the cord; to unplug the cord, grasp the plug, not
the cord.
WARNING
The electrical cord could be damaged, causing a
shock or fire.
Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before using
the mower. If the cord is damaged, do not operate
the mower. Have an Authorized Toro Service Dealer
replace or repair a damaged cord immediately.
Planning Your Mowing Pattern
Following the suggested mowing pattern will reduce the
risk of running over the cord with the mower, and the
cord will not sustain unnecessary wear. Do not allow
the power cord to wrap around trees, shrubs, or other
obstacles.
Begin by mowing near the electrical power source. Mow
back and forth, gradually mowing away from the power
source (Figure 14).

Starting the Motor

applicable).
2. Plug the other end of the cord into a household
electrical power outlet.
