Training
1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with
the controls and the proper use of the equipment.
2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the lawn mower. Local
regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
3. Never mow while people, especially children, or
pets are nearby.
4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to
other people or their property.
5. Do not carry passengers.
6. All drivers should seek and obtain professional and
practical instruction. Such instruction should
emphasize:
• the need for care and concentration when
working with ride-on machines;
• control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope
will not be regained by the application of the
brake. The main reasons for loss of control are:
– insufficient wheel grip;
– being driven too fast;
TABLE OF CONTENTS
– inadequate braking;
– the type of machine is unsuitable for its
task;
– lack of awareness of the effects of ground
conditions, especially slopes;
– ##incorrect hitching and load distribution.
Preparation
1. While mowing, always wear substantial footwear
and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment
when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is
to be used and remove all objects which may be
thrown by the machine.
3. WARNING—Petrol is highly flammable.
• Store fuel in containers specifically designed
for this purpose.
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while
refueling.
• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol
while the engine is running or when the engine
is hot.
• If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the
are of spillage and avoid creating any source of
ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated.
• Replace all fuel tanks and container caps
securely.
4. Replace faulty silencers.
Operation
1. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
3. Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all
blade attachment clutches and shift into neutral.
4. Do not use on slopes of more than:
• Never mow side hills over 5°
• Never mow uphill over 10°
• Never mow downhill over 15°
5. Remember there is no such thing as a “safe” slope.
Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To
guard against overturning:
• do not stop or start suddenly when going up or
downhill;
• engage the clutch slowly, and always keep the
machine in gear, especially when travailing
downhill;
• machine speeds should be kept low on slopes
and during tight turns;
• stay alert for bumps and hollows and other
hidden hazards;
• never mow across the face of the slope, unless
the lawn mower is designed for this purpose.
6. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment.
• Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
• Limit loads to those you can safely control.
• Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.
• Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when
suggested in the instruction handbook.
7. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near
roadways.
8. Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces
other than grass.
9. When using any attachments, never direct discharge
of material toward bystanders nor allow anyone
near the machine while in operation .
10. Never operate the lawn mower with defective
guards, shields or without safety protective devices
in place.
11. Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at
3
Safety Instructions
excessive speeds may increase the hazard of
personal injury.
12. Before leaving the operator’s position:
• disengage the power take-off and lower the
attachments;
• change into neutral and set the parking brake;
• stop the engine and remove the key.
13. Disengage the drive to attachments when
transporting or not in use.
14. Stop the engine and disengage the drive to the
attachment
• before refueling;
• before removing the grass catcher;
• before making height adjustments unless the
adjustment can be made from the operator’s
position.
• before clearing blockages;
• before checking, cleaning or working on the
lawn mower;
• after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawn
mower for damage and make repairs before
restarting and operating the equipment.
15. Reduce the throttle setting during engine runout
and, if the engine is provided with a shutoff valve,
turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
2. Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark.
3. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
4. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and petrol storage area free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
5. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
6. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
7. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be
done outdoors.
8. Be careful during adjustment of the machine to
prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving
blades and fixed parts of the machine.
9. On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
10. When the machine is to be parked, stored or left
unattended, lower the cutting means unless a
positive mechanical lock is used.

CHECK THE ENGINE OIL (Fig. 1)
The engine is shipped with 1.7 1 of oil. However, check
the oil level before and after you first start the engine.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Screw the dipstick into the tube and make sure it is
seated fully. Unscrew the dipstick and check the oil
level. If it is low, remove the filler cap and add oil.
Use any high-quality detergent oil having the
American Petroleum Institute—API—”service
classification” SE, SF or SG. Recommended
viscosity (weight) is SAE 30. Refer to the Engine
Operator’s Manual for additional information.
Figure 1
1. Dipstick
2. Filler cap
3. Pour the oil into opening in the valve cover until the
oil level is up to the ”FULL’” mark on the dipstick.
Add the oil slowly and check the level often during
this process. DO NOT OVERFILL.
IMPORTANT Check the oil level every 8
operating hours or daily. Initially, change the oil
after the first 8 hours of operation; thereafter,
under normal conditions, change the oil every 50
hours and filter every 100 hours. However,
change it more often when operating the engine
in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
5. Install the filler cap and the dipstick.
FILL THE FUEL TANK
THE TORO COMPANY STRONGLY RECOMMENDS
THE USE OF CLEAN, FRESH UNLEADED
REGULAR GASOLINE IN TORO GASOLINE
POWERED PRODUCTS. UNLEADED GASOLINE
BURNS CLEANER, EXTENDS ENGINE LIFE, AND
PROMOTES GOOD STARTING BY REDUCING THE
BUILD-UP OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER
DEPOSITS. LEADED GASOLINE CAN BE USED IF
UNLEADED IS NOT AVAILABLE.
NOTE: NEVER USE METHANOL, GASOLINE
CONTAINING METHANOL, GASOHOL
CONTAINING MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL,
GASOLINE ADDITIVES, PREMIUM GASOLINE, OR
WHITE GAS BECAUSE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
Before Operating
Because gasoline is flammable, caution must be
used when storing or handling it. Do not fill the
fuel tank while the engine is running, hot or when
the machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may
build up and be ignited by a spark or flame source
many feet away. DO NOT SMOKE while filling
the fuel tank to prevent the possibility of an
explosion. Always fill the fuel tank outside and
wipe up any spilled gasoline before starting the
engine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling
gasoline before starting the engine and fill the
tank to about 3 cm from the top of the tank, not
the filler neck. Store gasoline in a clean safetyapproved container and keep the cap in place on
the container. Keep gasoline in a cool, wellventilated place; never in an enclosed area such as
a hot storage shed. To assure volatility, do not buy
more than a 30-day supply of gasoline. Gasoline
is a fuel for internal combustion engines;
therefore, do not use it for any other purpose.
Since many children like the smell of gas, keep it
out of their reach because the fumes are explosive
and dangerous to inhale.
