Important:
If you are using this machine above 1500 m
(5,000 ft) for a continuous period, ensure that the High
Altitude Kit has been installed so that the engine meets
CARB/EPA emission regulations. The High Altitude
Kit increases engine performance while preventing
spark-plug fouling, hard starting, and increased
emissions. Once you have installed the kit, attach
the high-altitude label next to the serial decal on the
machine. Contact any Authorized Toro Service Dealer
to obtain the proper High Altitude Kit and high-altitude
label for your machine. To locate a dealer convenient to
you, access our website at www.Toro.com or contact our
Toro Customer Care Department at the number(s) listed
in your Emission Control Warranty Statement.
Remove the kit from the engine and restore the engine
to its original factory configuration when running the
engine under 1500 m (5,000 ft). Do not operate an engine
that has been converted for high-altitude use at lower
altitudes; otherwise, you could overheat and damage
the engine.
If you are unsure whether or not your machine has been
converted for high-altitude use, look for the following
