Toro Mower Safety

The following list contains safety information specific to Toro products and other safety information you must know.

This product is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious injury or death.

This product is designed for cutting and recycling grass or, when equipped with a grass bagger, for catching cut grass. Any use for purposes other than these could prove dangerous to user and bystanders.

General Operation

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing.

Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.

• Do not touch equipment or attachment parts which may

be hot from operation. Allow to cool before attempting to maintain, adjust or service.

• Use only Toro-approved attachments. Warranty may be

voided if used with unapproved attachments.

• Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e. branches,

doorways, electrical wires) before operating under any objects and do not contact them.

Slope Operation

All slopes and ramps require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from

the mowing area.

• Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Tall grass can hide

obstacles.

• Use caution near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.

The machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel goes over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

• Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.

These can change the stability of the machine.

• Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not

make sudden changes in speed or direction.

• Mow slopes side to side.

• Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.

Service

• Never store the machine or fuel container inside where

there is an open flame, such as near a water heater or furnace.

• Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially the blade

attachment bolts. Keep equipment in good condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check safety systems

for proper operation before each use.

• Use only genuine replacement parts to ensure that

original standards are maintained.

• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as

required.

Slope Chart

Example: Compare

slope with folded

edge.

Fold along appropriate line

Align this edge with a vertical surface (Tree, Building, Fence post, pole, etc.)

Safety and Instruction Decals

Gasoline and Oil

Warning

Recommended Gasoline

Use unleaded regular gasoline suitable for automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Use leaded regular gasoline if unleaded regular is not available.

Important Never use methanol, gasoline containing

methanol, or gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Danger

In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property.

• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,

when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.

• Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.

• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add

gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows the gasoline to expand.

• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay

away from an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.

• Store gasoline in an approved container and

keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.

• Always place gasoline containers on the ground

and away from your vehicle before filling.

• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or

on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.

• When practical, remove gas-powered equipment

from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground.

• If this is not possible, then refuel such

equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep

the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness.

• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.

• Keep face away from nozzle and fuel tank or

conditioner opening.

• Keep gasoline away from eyes and skin.

Using Fuel Stabilizer/Conditioner

Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to provide the following benefits:

• Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less (For longer storage, drain the fuel tank.)

• Cleans the engine while it runs

• Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel system,

which causes hard starting

Important Do not use fuel additives containing

methanol or ethanol. Add the correct amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner to the

gasoline. Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when

mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times.

Filling the Fuel Tank

1. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and set the parking brakes.

2. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the cap. Add unleaded regular gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This space in the tank allows the gasoline to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.

3. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any spilled gasoline.

Checking the Engine Oil Level

Before you start the engine and use the machine, check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to Checking the Engine Oil Level, page 28.
