Operating Tips
General Mowing Tips
•
Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never
deliberately mow over any object.
•
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.
For improved runtime, cut grass at a higher height
of cut.
•
Do not cut below 51 mm (2 inches) unless the
grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth
begins to slow down.
•
When cutting grass over 15 cm (6 inches) tall,
mow at the highest cutting height setting and walk
slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the
best lawn appearance. If the grass is too long, the
machine may plug and cause the motor to stall.
•
Wet grass and leaves tend to clump on the yard
and can cause the machine to plug or the motor to
stall. Avoid mowing in wet conditions.
•
Be aware of a potential fire hazard in very dry
conditions, follow all local fire warnings, and keep
the machine free of dry grass and leaf debris.
•
Alternate the mowing direction. This helps
disperse the clippings over the lawn for even
fertilization.
•
If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory,
try 1 or more of the following:
– Replace the blade or have it sharpened.

Cutting Leaves

– 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.
After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn
shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need
to make more than a single pass over the leaves.
If there are more than 13 cm (5 inches) of leaves
on the lawn, mow at a higher cutting height and
then again at the desired cutting height.
Slow down your mowing speed if the machine
does not cut the leaves finely enough.
