Maintenance and Storage
• Keep all nuts, bolts (especially blade attachment
bolts), and screws tight to ensure that the lawn mower
is in safe working condition.
• Never store the lawn mower with gasoline in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing the lawn
mower in any enclosure.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, muffler,
battery compartment, and gasoline storage area free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
• Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
• Replace worn or damaged parts.
• Use extra care when handling gasoline; gasoline
vapors are explosive.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
• Keep the lawn mower free of grass, leaves, or other
debris buildup. Clean up any oil or fuel that spills.
• Stop and inspect the lawn mower if you strike an
object. Repair the lawn mower, if necessary, before
starting the engine.
• Never attempt to make wheel height adjustments while
the engine is running.
• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage,
and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or
allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check the
components and replace them with the manufacturer's
recommended parts when necessary.
• Lawn mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the
blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution when
servicing them.
• Do not change the speed settings on the engine.
• If you must drain the fuel from the fuel tank, do it
outdoors.
• To ensure the best performance and safety, purchase
only genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction decals when
necessary.
