Every 25 hours
• Lubricate the rear wheel gears.

• Clean the engine by removing dirt and debris from its top and sides; clean it more
frequently in dusty operating conditions.

Maintenance Safety
•
Always shut off the machine, wait for all moving
parts to stop, and allow the machine to cool before
adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
•
Disconnect the spark-plug wire from the spark plug
before performing any maintenance procedure.
•
Wear gloves and eye protection when servicing
the machine.
•
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result
in serious personal injury. Wear gloves when
servicing the blade. Do not repair or alter the
blade(s).
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
•
Tipping the machine may cause the fuel to leak.
Fuel is flammable and explosive, and can cause
personal injury. Run the engine dry or remove the
fuel with a hand pump; never siphon the fuel.
•
To ensure optimum performance of the machine,
use only genuine Toro replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement parts and accessories
made by other manufacturers could be dangerous,
and such use could void the product warranty.

Important:
Before tipping the machine to
change the oil or replace the blade, allow the
fuel tank to run dry through normal usage. If
you must tip the machine prior to running
out of fuel, use a hand fuel pump to remove
the fuel. Always tip the machine onto its
side, with the dipstick down.
