equipment, operator controls, and safety signs. Check that all guards and safety devices, such as

deflectors and/or grass catcher, are in place and working properly.

Always inspect the machine to ensure that the blades, blade bolts, and cutting assembly are not worn or damaged.

Inspect the area where you will use the machine, and remove all objects that could interfere with the operation of the machine or that the machine could throw.

Fuel Safety Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive.

A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property. To prevent a static charge from igniting the fuel,

place the container and/or machine directly on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.

Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.

Do not handle fuel when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.

Do not remove the fuel cap or add fuel to the tank while the engine is running or hot.

If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine. Avoid creating a source of ignition until the fuel vapors have dissipated.

Store fuel in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children.

Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. Keep your hands and face away from the

nozzle and the fuel-tank opening. Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.

10

Fuel Specification Petroleum fuel

Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).

Use an unleaded-gasoline blend with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same.

Ethanol blended fuel

Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for use. Never use gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine damage which may not be covered under warranty.

Important: For best results, use only clean, fresh fuel (less than 30 days old). Do not use gasoline containing methanol. Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel

containers over the winter unless you use a fuel stabilizer.

Do not add oil to gasoline.

Using Stabilizer/Conditioner Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to provide the following benefits:

Important: Do not use fuel additives containing methanol or ethanol.

Add the correct amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner to the gasoline.

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. Park the machine on a level surface and shut

off the engine. 2. Allow the engine to cool. 3. Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove it

(Figure 6). 4. Add fuel to the fuel tank until the level of fuel is

at the bottom of the filler neck. 5. Install the fuel-tank cap securely. 6. Wipe up any fuel 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 Checking the Engine-Oil Level (page 17).

During Operation During Operating Safety General Safety Wear appropriate clothing including eye protection;

hearing protection; protective gloves; long pants; and substantial, slip-resistant footwear. Tie back long hair, secure loose clothing, and do not wear loose jewelry.

Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result in serious personal injury. Shut off the engine, remove the ignition key (if equiped), and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.

Keep bystanders, especially small children, out of the operating area. Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.

Always look down and behind you before moving the machine in reverse.

Operate the machine only in good visibility and appropriate weather conditions. Do not operate the machine when there is the risk of lighting.

Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if you slip and contact the blade. Avoid mowing in wet conditions.

Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view.

Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause the machine to overturn or cause you to lose your balance or footing.

If the machine strikes an object or starts to vibrate, immediately release the blade-control clutch, shut off the engine, remove the key, wait for all moving parts to stop, and disconnect the wire from the spark plug before examining the machine for damage. Make all necessary repairs before resuming operation.

Before leaving the operating position, shut off the engine, remove the ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.

If the engine has been running the muffler will be hot and can severely burn you. Keep away from the hot muffler.

Check the rear deck flap frequently for any wear or deterioration and replace them with the manufacturer's recommended parts when necessary.

Use accessories and attachments approved by The Toro Company only.

Slope Safety Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control

and rollover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. The operator is responsible for safe slope operation. Operating the machine on any slope requires extra caution. Before using the machine on a slope, the operator must: Review and understand the slope instructions

in the manual and on the machine. Evaluate the site conditions of the day to

determine if the slope is safe for machine operation. Use common sense and good judgment when performing this evaluation. Changes in the terrain, such as moisture, can quickly affect the operation of the machine on a slope.

Operate across slopes, never up and down. Avoid operation on excessively steep or wet slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.

Identify hazards at the base of the slope. Do not operate the machine near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, water or other hazards. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or the edge collapses. Keep a safe distance between the machine and any hazard. Use a hand held tool to work in these areas.

Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction; turn slowly and gradually.

Do not operate a machine under any conditions where traction, steering or stability is in question. Be aware that operating the machine on wet grass, across slopes or downhill may cause the machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the drive wheels may result in sliding and a loss of braking and steering. The machine can slide even if the drive wheels are stopped.

Remove or mark obstacles such as ditches, holes, ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden hazards. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.

If you lose control of the machine, step away from the direction of travel of the machine.

Use the traction control to slow the machine when going down slopes. Do not fully engage the traction control downhill.

Starting and Shutting Off the Engine Starting the Engine Note: You may need multiple attempts to start the engine when you start it the first time or after the engine has run out of fuel completely. 1. Move the throttle lever forward past the FAST

position and hold it against the forward stop to activate the choke.

2. Turn the ignition key to the START position (Figure 11).

Important: Do not engage the starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start, wait 15 seconds between attempts. Failure to follow these instructions can burn out the starter motor.

California Proposition 65 Warning Information

What is this warning? You may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following:

WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harmwww.p65Warnings.ca.gov.

What is Prop 65? Prop 65 applies to any company operating in California, selling products in California, or manufacturing products that may be sold in or brought into California. It mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other reproductive harm. The list, which is updated annually, includes hundreds of chemicals found in many everyday items. The purpose of Prop 65 is to inform the public about exposure to these chemicals.

Prop 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals but instead requires warnings on any product, product packaging, or literature with the product. Moreover, a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is in violation of any product safety standards or requirements. In fact, the California government has clarified that a Prop 65 warning is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is safe or unsafe. Many of these chemicals have been used in everyday products for years without documented harm. For more information, go to https://oag.ca.gov/prop65/faqs-view-all.

A Prop 65 warning means that a company has either (1) evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the no significant risk level; or (2) has chosen to provide a warning based on its understanding about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure.

Does this law apply everywhere? Prop 65 warnings are required under California law only. These warnings are seen throughout California in a wide range of settings, including but not limited to restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals, and on a wide variety of products. Additionally, some online and mail order retailers provide Prop 65 warnings on their websites or in catalogs.

How do the California warnings compare to federal limits? Prop 65 standards are often more stringent than federal and international standards. There are various substances that require a Prop 65 warning at levels that are far lower than federal action limits. For example, the Prop 65 standard for warnings for lead is 0.5 g/day, which is well below the federal and international standards.

Why dont all similar products carry the warning? Products sold in California require Prop 65 labelling while similar products sold elsewhere do not.

A company involved in a Prop 65 lawsuit reaching a settlement may be required to use Prop 65 warnings for its products, but other companies making similar products may have no such requirement.

The enforcement of Prop 65 is inconsistent.

Companies may elect not to provide warnings because they conclude that they are not required to do so under Prop 65; a lack of warnings for a product does not mean that the product is free of listed chemicals at similar levels.

Why does Toro include this warning? Toro has chosen to provide consumers with as much information as possible so that they can make informed decisions about the products they buy and use. Toro provides warnings in certain cases based on its knowledge of the presence of one or more listed chemicals without evaluating the level of exposure, as not all the listed chemicals provide exposure limit requirements. While the exposure from Toro products may be negligible or well within the no significant risk range, out of an abundance of caution, Toro has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover, if Toro does not provide these warnings, it could be sued by the State of California or by private parties seeking to enforce Prop 65 and subject to substantial penalties.
