Maintenance
NOTICE:
Keeping air intake vents free of grass and debris
prevents motor overheating and possible failure.
WARNING:
Use only Toro replacement parts when servicing
this product. Use of any other parts could create
a hazard or cause product damage.
Servicing the Product
Check and tighten all fasteners. If any part is damaged or
lost, repair it or replace it.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with
hearing protection. Head protection may also
be required depending on the type of attach-
ment used and as prescribed in the attachment’s
Operator’s Manual. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes and other
possible serious injuries.
Checking the Fuel Cap, Tank, and
Lines
WARNING:
Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap, tank,
or lines are a fire hazard and must be replaced
immediately. If you find any leaks, correct the
problem before using the product. Failure to do
so could result in a fire that could cause serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the
machine, shut off engine, wait for all moving
parts to stop, and disconnect spark plug wire
and move it away from spark plug. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury or property damage.
The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and check
valve. A clogged fuel filter causes poor engine performance.
If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened,
the check valve may be faulty or the filter may be clogged.
Replace the fuel cap if necessary.

General Maintenance
A wet or dirty air filter can affect the way the engine starts,
performs, and wears. The air filter should be checked and
cleaned after 5 hours of operation. Inspect and clean more
frequently if used in dusty dirty conditions.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease, etc.
For best performance, the air filter should be replaced every
25
hours or yearly.
To clean the air filter:
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating lubricants,
etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemi-
cals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which
can result in serious personal injury.
