Operation Filling the Fuel Tank

DANGER Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others. To prevent a static charge from igniting the

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

Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold. Wipe up spills.

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

Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out of the reach of children.

Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline having an octane rating at or near 87 from a major name-brand service station (Figure 10).

Important: Do not use any fuel that contains more than 10% ethanol. Alternative fuels with high alcohol content can cause hard starting, poor engine performance, and may cause internal engine damage.

Important: To reduce starting problems, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with gasoline less than 30 days old.

Operating Tips

General Mowing Tips Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and

other debris that the blade could hit.

Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never deliberately mow over any object.

If the machine strikes an object or starts to vibrate, immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire from the spark plug, and examine the machine for damage.

For best performance, install a new blade before the cutting season begins.

Replace the blade when necessary with a Toro replacement blade.

Cutting Grass Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time.

Do not cut below the 30 mm (1.2 inch) setting (02602/02604) or 32 mm (1.25 inch) setting (02606) unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down. Refer to Adjusting the Cutting Height.

Mowing grass over 15 cm (6 inches) in length is not recommended. If the grass is too long, the machine may plug and cause the engine to stall.

Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves tend to clump on the yard and can cause the machine to plug or the engine to stall.

WARNING Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if you slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dry conditions.

Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.

If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try one or more of the following:

Replace the blade/line or have the blade sharpened.

Walk at a slower pace while mowing.

Raise the cutting height on your machine.

Cut the grass more frequently.

Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath with each pass.

Cutting Leaves After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn

shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need to make more than one pass over the leaves.

Slow down your mowing speed if the machine does not cut the leaves finely enough.

12

Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

Owner Responsibilities As the Product owner, you are responsible for required maintenance and adjustments stated in your Operators Manual. Failure to perform required maintenance and adjustments can be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim.

Items and Conditions Not Covered Not all product failures or malfunctions that occur during the warranty period are defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty does not cover the following:

Product failures which result from the use of non-Toro replacement parts, or from installation and use of add-on, or modified non-Toro branded accessories and products. A separate warranty may be provided by the manufacturer of these items.

Note Regarding Deep Cycle Battery Warranty: Deep cycle batteries have a specified total number of kilowatt-hours they can deliver during their lifetime. Operating, recharging, and maintenance techniques can extend or reduce total battery life. As the batteries in this product are consumed, the amount of useful work between charging intervals will slowly decrease until the battery is completely worn out. Replacement of worn out batteries, due to normal consumption, is the responsibility of the product owner. Battery replacement may be required during the normal product warranty period at owners expense.

Except for the Emissions warranty referenced below, if applicable, there is no other express warranty.

All implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for use are limited to the duration of this express warranty. Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
