Operating Tips
General Mowing Tips
•
Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and other
debris that the blade could hit.
•
Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never
deliberately mow over any object.
•
If the machine strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire from
the spark plug, and examine the machine for damage.
•
For best performance, install a new blade before the
cutting season begins.
•
Replace the blade when necessary with a Toro
replacement blade.
Cutting Grass
•
Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time. Do
not cut below the 51 mm setting unless the grass is sparse
or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down.
Refer to Adjusting the Cutting Height (page 8).
•
When cutting grass over 15 cm (6 inches) tall, mow at the
highest cutting-height setting and walk slower; then mow
again at a lower setting for the best lawn appearance. If
the grass is too long, the machine may become clogged
and cause the engine to stall.
•
Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves tend
to clump on the yard and can cause the machine to
become clogged or the engine to stall.
WARNING
Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if
you slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dry
conditions.
•
Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the
clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.
•
If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try one
or more of the following:
