Maintenance and Storage
•
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
•
Do not use pressure cleaning equipment on machine.
•
Never store the equipment with gasoline in the tank
and inside a building where fumes can reach an open
flame or spark.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
•
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and gasoline storage area free
of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
•
Check grass catcher components and the discharge
guard frequently and replace with manufacturer’s
recommended parts, when necessary.
•
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
•
Replace faulty silencers.
•
If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.
•
Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating an engine at
excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal
injury.
•
On multibladed lawn mowers, take care as rotating
one blade may cause others to rotate.
•
Be careful during adjustment of the lawn mower to
prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving
blades and fixed parts of the lawn mower.
•
To ensure the best performance and safety,
purchase only genuine Toro replacement parts
and accessories. Do not use
will fit
parts and
accessories; they may cause a safety hazard.
