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 safeUT

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 dear 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 dear of other people before

mowing. Stop the machine if anyone enters

the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely

necessar> Akvays look down and behind

before and while bac_ng up.

• Be aware of the mower discharge direction and

do not point it at 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 or the guard in place.

• Be alert, slow down and use caution when

ma_ng turns. Look behind and to the side

before changing directions.

• Never leave a running machine unattended.

Parking Brake

The paring brake is automatically set when the

motion control levers are in the brake position.

Always position the motion control levers into the

brake position when you stop the machine or leave

it unattended.

Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the

machine from the normal operating position.

Think Safety First

Please carefully read all of the safe_" instructions

and decals in the safety section. Knowing this

information could help you, your famil?; pets or

bystanders avoid injur?

Mowing on wet grass or steep slopes can

cause sliding and loss of control.

Recommended Gasoline

Use UNLEADED Regular Gasoline suitable

for automotive use (87 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.

Wheels dropping over edges can cause

rollovers, which may result in serious injury,

death or drowning.

To avoid loss of control and possibility of

rollover:

• Do not mow near drop-offs or near water.

• Do not mow slopes greater than

12.5 degrees.

• Reduce speed and use extreme caution

on slopes.

• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed

changes.

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.

Do not operate without entire exhaust

system in place and in proper working

condition.

G000513

Figure 6

1. Safe Zone-use the TimeCutter here

2. Use walk behind mower and/or hand trimmer near drop-offs

and water.

3. Water

In certain conditions during fueling, static

electricity can be released causing a spark

which can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire

or explosion from gasoline can burn you and

others and can damage property.

•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.

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 flesh during storage of 30 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

Shut the engine off and set the paring brake.

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 to 13 ram) 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 the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any

gasoline that may have spilled.

Checking the Engine Oil

Level

Before you start the engine and use the machine,

check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to

Chec_ng the Oil Level in Engine Maintenance,

Side Discharge

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that

disperses clippings to the side and down toward

the turf.

Without the grass deflector, discharge

cover, or complete grass catcher assembly

mounted in place, you and others are

exposed to blade contact and thrown debris.

Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and

thrown debris will cause injury or death.

Never remove the grass deflector from

the mower because the grass deflector

routes material down toward the turf.

If the grass deflector is ever damaged,

replace it immediately.

• Never put your hands or feet under the

mower.

Never try to clear discharge area or

mower blades unless you move the blade

control switch to Off and rotate the

ignition key to Off. Also remove the key

and pull the wire off the spark plug(s).

Operating Tips

Fast Throttle Setting

For best mowing and maximum air circulation,

operate the engine at the Fast position. Air is

required to thoroughly cut grass clippings, so

do not set the height-of-cut so low as to totally

surround the mower by uncut grass. Always try to

have one side of the mower free from uncut grass,

which allows air to be drawn into the mower.

Cutting a Lawn for the First Time

Cut grass slightly longer than normal to ensure

that the cutting height of the mower does not

scalp any uneven ground. However, the cutting

height used in the past is generally the best one to

use. When cutting grass longer than six inches tall,

you may want to cut the lawn hvice to ensure an

acceptable quality of cut.

Cut 1/3 of the Grass Blade

It is best to cut only about 1/3 of the grass blade.

Cutting more than that is not recommended unless

grass is sparse, or it is late fall when grass grows

more slowl>

Mowing Direction

Alternate mowing direction to keep the grass

standing straight. This also helps disperse clippings

which enhances decomposition and fertilization.

Mow at Correct Intervals

Normal13; mow every four days. But remember,

grass grows at different rates at different times.

So to maintain the same cutting height, which is a

good practice, mow more often in early spring. As

the grass growth rate slows in mid summer, mow

less frequent13: If you cannot mow for an extended

period, first mow at a high cutting height; then

mow again two days later at a lower height setting.

Cutting Speed

To improve cut quality use a slower ground speed.

Avoid Cutting Too Low

If the cutting width of the mower is wider than the

mower you previously used, raise the cutting height

to ensure that uneven turf is not cut too short.

inside the mower, cutting qualit 7will eventually

become unsatisfactor>

Blade Maintenance

Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting

season because a sharp blade cuts cleanly without

tearing or shredding the grass blades. Tearing and

shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which

slows growth and increases the chance of disease.

Check the cutter blades daily for sharpness, and

for any wear or damage. File down any nicks

and sharpen the blades as necessar> If a blade is

damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a

genuine Toro replacement blade.

Safe Towing Practices

Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed

for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except

at the hitch point. This product has a limited

towing capacity for small attachments up to 100

lbs (45 kg); such as leaf sweepers and spreaders.

Towing 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.

Towing on slopes is not recommended. Travel

slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

Long Grass

If the grass is ever allowed to grow slightly longer

than normal, or if it contains a high degree of

moisture, raise the cutting height higher than usual

and cut the grass at this setting. Then cut the grass

again using the lower, normal setting.

When Stopping

If the machine's forward motion must be stopped

while mowing, a clump of grass clippings may

drop onto your lawn. To avoid this, move onto a

previously cut area with the blades engaged.

Keep the Underside of the Mower

Clean

Clean clippings and dirt from the underside of the

mower after each use. If grass and dirt build up

Servicing the Cutting Blades

Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting

season because sharp blades cut cleanly without

tearing or shredding the grass blades. Tearing and

shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which

slows growth and increases the chance of disease.

Check the cutter blades daily for sharpness, and

for aW wear or damage. File down aW nicks

and sharpen the blades as necessar> If a blade is

damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a

genuine Toro replacement blade. For convenient

sharpening and replacement, you may want to

keep extra blades on hand.

A worn or damaged blade can break, and a

piece of the blade could be thrown into the

operator's or bystander's area, resulting in

serious personal injury or death.

• Inspect the blade periodically for wear

or damage.

• Replace a worn or damaged blade.

Before Inspecting or Servicing the

Blades

Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the

blade control switch, and move the motion control

levers to the brake position. Stop the engine,

remove the ke 5 and disconnect the spark plug

wire(s) from the spark plug(s).

Inspecting the Blades

,Inspect the cutting edges (Figure 35). If the

edges are not sharp or have nicks, remove and

sharpen the blades; refer to Sharpening the

Blades.

,Inspect the blades, especially the curved area

(Figure 35). If you notice any damage, wear, or

Rotate the opposite ends of the blades forward.

Measure from a level surface to the cutting

edge of the blades at the same position as in

step 1. The difference between the dimensions

obtained in steps 1 and 2 must not exceed

1/8 inch (3 ram). If this dimension exceeds

1/8 inch (3 ram), the blade is bent and must be

replaced. Refer to Removing the Blades and

Installing the Blades.

Removing the Blades

The blades must be replaced if a solid object is

hit, if the blade is out of balance, or the blade

is bent. To ensure optimum performance and

continued safer)Tconformance of the machine, use

genuine Toro replacement blades. Replacement

blades made by other manufacturers may result in

non-conformance with safety standards.

Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:

•As the equipment owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operator's Manual.

The Toro ®Company recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your equipment, but The Toro ® Company

cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts.

• As the equipment owner, you should however be aware that The Toro _°_Company may deny you warranty coverage if your emission

warranty parts have failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

• You are responsible for presenting your equipment to an Authorized Service Dealer as soon as the problem exists. The warranty

repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question regarding your warranty

coverage, you should contact The Toro ®Company at 1-952-948-4027 or call us toll free at the number listed in your Toro

Defects Warranty Requirements:

The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.

General Evaporative Emissions Warranty Coverage. The emission warranty parts must be warranted to the ultimate purchaser and

any subsequent owner that the evaporative emission control system when installed was:

A. Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations; and

B. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that causes the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.

The warranty on evaporative emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows:

A. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions must be

warranted for the warranty period of two years. If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be

repaired or replaced by The Toro _°_Company. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for a

time not less than the remaining warranty period.

B. Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions must be warranted for the warranty

period of two years. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" will not reduce

the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for a time not less

than the remaining warranty period.

C. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions must be warranted

for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled

replacement, the part must be repaired or replaced by The Toro ®Company. Any such part repaired or replaced under

warranty must be warranted for a time not less than the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point

for the part.

D. Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions of this article must be performed at no charge to

the owner at an Authorized Service Dealer.

provided that such diagnostic work is performed at an Authorized Service Dealer.

G. Throughout the evaporative emission control system's two year warranty period, The Toro ® Company must maintain a supply

of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.

H. Manufacturer approved replacement parts must be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and must

be provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of The Toro ®Company.

I. The use of any add-on or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim made in accordance with this

article. The Toro ® Company will not be liable under this Article to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of an
