4.
Squeeze the adjusting lever toward the wheel and
move it to the desired setting (Fig. 10). Ensure that the
pin on adjusting lever engages the hole in the bracket.
•
•
Keep the engine in good running condition.
Clean the air filter frequently. Mulching stirs up more
clippings and dust which clogs the air filter and
reduces engine performance.
Note: The front wheels can be adjusted to 1/2 inch. Move
adjusting lever past A and release the pin into the slot in
the housing. It is not recommended that the 1/2 inch
height-of-cut setting be used on a regular basis.
Cutting Grass

•
In the heat of summer, cut the grass at the 2, 2.5, or 3
Cutting Tips
blade should be cut off. Cut below the 2 inch setting
only if the grass is sparse or it is autumn when the
grass grows slowly.
•
Review the safety instructions and read this manual
carefully before operating the mower.
When cutting grass over six inches tall, mow using the
highest height-of-cut setting and a slower walking
speed; then mow again at a lower setting for best lawn
appearance. If the grass is too long, the mower may
plug and cause the engine to stall.
•
Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and
other debris which could be picked up or hit by the
blade and become thrown objects.
•
•
•
Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away
from the area of operation.
Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse
clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.
Avoid striking trees, walls, curbs, or other solid
objects. Never deliberately mow over any object.
If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try one
or more of the following:
If an object is struck, or the mower starts to vibrate,
immediately stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug
wire, and examine the mower for damage.
•
•
•
•
•
Sharpen the blade.
Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
Raise the height-of-cut setting on your mower.
Cut grass more frequently.
•
•
•
Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season.
Periodically file down nicks on the blade.
Replace the blade when necessary with an original
Toro replacement blade.
Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath
with each pass.
Only mow dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves
tend to clump on the yard and may cause the mower to
plug or the engine to stall. They may also be slippery
to walk on and could cause you to slip and fall.
•
Set the height-of-cut on the front wheels one notch
lower than the rear wheels. (example: set the front
wheels at the 2 inch setting and the rear wheels at the
2.5 inch setting)
WARNING
Cutting Leaves
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
Wet grass or leaves can cause you to slip and
contact the blade.
•
When cutting is complete, ensure that 50% of the grass
blades show through the cut leaf cover. This may
require one or more passes over the leaves.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•
Blade contact can seriously injure you.
•
•
Position all wheels at the same height-of-cut setting.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•
Walk at a slower mowing speed if the leaves are not
being cut up finely enough to be hidden in the grass.
Mow only in dry conditions.
•
If you cut up a lot of oak leaves, add lime to your grass
in the spring. Lime reduces the acidity of the leaves.
•
Clean clippings or leaves from the underside of the
mower deck after each mowing.
