configuration for the power outlet if needed.
7. Do not use a damaged or modified battery
pack or battery charger, which may exhibit
unpredictable behavior that results in fire,
explosion, or risk of injury.
8. If the supply cord to the battery charger is
damaged, contact an Authorized Service Dealer
to replace it.
9. Charge the battery pack with only the battery
charger specified by Toro. A charger suitable for
1 type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
10. Charge the battery pack in a well-ventilated area
only.
11. Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Otherwise, you may damage the battery pack
and increase the risk of fire.
12. Dress properly—Wear appropriate clothing,
including eye protection; long pants; substantial,
slip-resistant footwear (not barefoot or wearing
sandals); and hearing protection. Tie back long
hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose
jewelry that can get caught in moving parts.
Wear a dust mask in dusty operating conditions.
III. Operation
1. Contact with the moving blade will cause serious
injury. Keep your hands and feet away from the
cutting area and all moving parts of the machine.
Keep clear of any discharge opening.
2. Using this machine for purposes other than its
intended use could prove dangerous to you and
bystanders.
3. Disengage the self-propel drive (if equipped)
before starting the machine.
4. Do not tilt the machine when starting the motor.
5. Prevent unintentional starting—Ensure that
the electric-start button is removed from the
electric-start switch before connecting the
battery pack and handling the machine.
6. Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur.
7. Stop the machine, remove the electric-start
button, remove the battery pack from the
machine, and wait for all movement to stop
before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing
the machine.
8. Remove the battery pack and electric-start
button from the machine whenever you leave it
unattended or before changing accessories.

appropriate weather conditions. Do not operate
the machine when there is the risk of lightning.
13. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling
the machine toward you.
14. Keep proper footing and balance at all times,
especially on slopes. Mow across the face
of slopes, never up and down. Use extreme
caution when changing directions on slopes. Do
not mow exceedingly steep slopes. Walk, never
run with the machine.
15. Do not direct the discharge material toward
anyone. Avoid discharging material against a
wall or obstruction; material may ricochet toward
you. Stop the blade(s) when crossing surfaces
other than grass.
16. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause you
to lose your balance or footing.
17. Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if
you slip and contact the blade. Do not mow in
wet conditions. Do not mow when it is raining.
18. If the machine strikes an object or starts to
vibrate, immediately shut off the machine,
remove the electric-start button, remove the
battery pack, and wait for all movement to stop
before examining the machine for damage.
Make all necessary repairs before resuming
operation.
19. Stop the machine and remove the electric-start
button before loading the machine for hauling.
20. Under abusive conditions, the battery pack may
eject liquid; avoid contact. If you accidently
come into contact with the liquid, flush with
water. If the liquid contacts your eyes, seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
pack may cause irritation or burns.
