This manual uses two other words to highlight
information. Important calls attention to special
mechanical information and Note: emphasizes general
information worthy of special attention.
Safety
This machine meets or exceeds the B71.1–2003
specifications of the American National Standards
Institute, in effect at the time of production. However,
improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner
can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury,
comply with these safety instructions and always pay
attention to the safety alert symbol, which means
CAUTION, WARNING, or DANGER—“personal
safety instruction.” Failure to comply with the
instruction may result in personal injury or death.
Safe Operating Practices
The following instructions are from ANSI standard
B71.1—2003.
This product is capable of amputating hands and feet and
throwing objects. Always follow all safety instructions to
avoid serious injury or death.
General Operation
• Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the
operator ’s manual and on the machine before starting.
• Do not place hands or feet near rotating parts or under
the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all
times.
• Allow only responsible adults who are familiar with
the instructions to operate the machine.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc.,
which could be picked up and thrown by the blade.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people before
mowing. Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.
• Never carry passengers.
• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before and while
backing up.
• Never direct discharged material toward anyone.
Avoid discharging material against a wall or
obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the
operator. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel
surfaces.
• Do not operate the mower without either the entire
grass catcher, discharge guard or other safety devices
in place and working.
• Slow down before turning.
• Never leave a running machine unattended. Always
turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and
remove key before dismounting.
3
• Disengage blades when not mowing. Stop the engine
and what for all parts to come to a complete stop
before cleaning the machine, removing the grass
catcher or unclogging the discharge chute.
• Do not mow 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.
• Operate the machine only in daylight or good artificial
light.
• Do not operate the machine while under the influence
of alcohol or drugs.
• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing
roadways.
• Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or truck.
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating mower.
• Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,
are involved in a large percentage of riding
mower–related injuries. These operators should
evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower
safely enough to protect themselves and others from
serious injury.
• Always follow the recommendations for wheel weights
or counterweights.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back
up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
• Mow up and down slopes, not across.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden
obstacles. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Choose a low ground speed so you will not have to
stop or shift while on a slope.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.
• Always keep the machine in gear when going down
slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
• Avoid starting, stopping or turning on a slope. If tires
lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.
• Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which
could cause the machine to roll over.
• Use extra care while operating mower with grass
catchers or other attachments; they can affect the
stability of the machine. Do not use on steep slopes.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your
foot on the ground.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult, not the operator.
• Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter the
area.
• Before and while backing or changing direction, look
behind, down, and side–to–side for small children.
• Never carry children, even with the blades off. They
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with
safe machine operation.
• Children who have been given rides in the past may
suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride
and be run over or backed over by the mower.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your
view of a child.
Towing
• Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for
towing. Do not attached towed equipment except at
the hitch point.
• This product has a limited towing capacity for small
attachments, such as leaf sweepers, rollers or carts.
The combined weight of the attachment and load
should not exceed the weight of the tractor. Use of
these types of attachments should be limited to flat
ground.
• Never allow children or others in or on towed
equipment.
• On slopes, the weight of towed equipment may cause a
loss of traction and control.
• Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
Service
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme
care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
4
• Use only an approved gasoline container.
• Never remove the gas cap or add fuel when the
engine is running. Allow the engine to cool before
refueling.
• Never refuel the machine indoors.
• Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as
a water heater or other appliances.
• Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer with a plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from your vehicle
before filling.
• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment with a
portable container, rather than from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until the
fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open
device.
• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
• Never overfill the fuel tank. Replace gas cap and
tighten securely.
• Never run a machine inside a closed area.
• Keep nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment is in
safe working condition.
Toro Riding Mower Safety

specific to Toro products or other safety information
that you must know that is not included in the ANSI
standards.
• Stop the engine, disconnect spark plug wire(s) and
remove key before performing any service, repairs,
maintenance or adjustments.
• Never leave a running machine unattended. Always
turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and
remove the ignition and KeyChoice keys before
dismounting.
• Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from
attachment discharge area, underside of mower and
any moving parts while engine is running.
• Do not touch equipment or attachment parts which
may be hot from operation. Allow to cool before
attempting to maintain, adjust or service.
• Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Protect your face,
eyes and clothing when working with a battery.
• Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks and
flames away from battery.
• Use only Toro approved attachments. Warranty may be
voided if used with unapproved attachments.
• Do not mow across slopes exceeding 5 degrees.
• Do not mow up slopes exceeding 10 degrees.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
• Keep the machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris
build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage fuel soaked
debris. Allow the machine to cool before storing.
• If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the
mower. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine
running.
• Check grass catcher components and the discharge
guard frequently and replace with manufacturer’s
recommended parts, when necessary.
• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s)
or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing
them.
• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service
as required.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction decals as
necessary.
• Do not mow down slopes exceeding 15 degrees.

Gasoline and Oil
Recommended Gasoline
Use UNLEADED Regular Gasoline suitable for
automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded
regular gasoline may be used 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
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
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.
Warning
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 gas tank or
conditioner opening.
• Keep gas away from eyes and skin.
Using 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 it is recommended that the fuel tank
be drained.
• 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 gas stabilizer/conditioner to the
gas.
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. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean around fuel tank cap and remove the cap. Add
unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank, until the level is
1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of the
filler neck. This space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
3. Install fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any gasoline
that may have spilled.
Check 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 24.
