Crankcase W
ith Oil
Initially, crankcase must be filled with 0.6 L
(20 ounces) of SAE 30 oil. Use any high quality
detergent oil having the American Petroleum Institute
(API) “service classification”—SF, SG or SH.
Before each use, assure oil level is between ADD and
FULL mark (Fig. 7). Add oil if level is low.
1. Position mower on level surface and clean
around oil dipstick.
GB–8
2. Remove dipstick by rotating cap

POTENTIAL
HAZARD
• In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,
in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level
is 6 mm to 13 mm (1/4” to 1/2”) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty space
in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and
stay away from an open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
• Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
Note: The Toro Company strongly
recommends the use of fresh, clean,
UNLEADED regular grade gasoline in
Toro gasoline powered products.
Unleaded gasoline burns cleaner,
extends engine life, and promotes good
starting by reducing the build–up of
combustion chamber deposits. Leaded
gasoline can be used if unleaded is not
available.
1. Clean around fuel tank cap and remove cap from
tank (Fig. 7). Do not fill tank full. Using
unleaded gasoline, fill fuel tank to within 6 to 13
mm (1/4” to 1/2”) from top of tank, not into
filler neck.
2. Install fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled
gasoline.
GB–9
IMPORTANT: Do not mix oil with the
gasoline. Do not use gasoline that has been
stored in an approved container from one
season to the next.
Toro recommends that a fuel stabilizer be used
regularly in all Toro gasoline powered products
during operation and storage seasons. Stabilizers
clean the engine during operation and prevent
gum-like varnish deposits from forming in the
engine during periods of storage.
IMPORTANT: Some fuels, called oxygenated
or reformulated gasolines, ar
e gasolines
blended with alcohols or ethers. Excessive
amounts of these blends can damage the fuel
system or cause performance problems. Never
use methanol
, gasoline containing methanol,
gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol or
white gas because engine fuel system damage
could result. If any undesirable operating
symptoms occur, use gasoline with a lower
percentage of alcohol or ether.
Do not use fuel additives other than those
manufactured for fuel stabilization during
storage such as T
oro’s Stabilizer/conditioner
or a similar product. Toro’s
Stabilizer/conditioner is a petroleum distillate
based conditioner/stabilizer. Toro does not
recommend stabilizers with an alcohol base
such as ethanol, methanol or isopropyl.
Additives should not be used to try to
enhance the power or performance of the
machine.

General
T
ips
Follow these instructions whether cutting grass or
leaves for the best cutting results and lawn
appearance:
• Maintain a sharp blade
throughout the cutting
season. Periodically file down nicks on blade.
• Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and
leaves tend to clump on yard and may cause
mower to plug or engine to stall. They also may
be slippery to walk on and could cause you to
slip and fall.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Wet grass or leaves can cause you to slip
and contact blade.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Blade contact can seriously injure you.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Mow only in dry condition.
• Set engine speed to fastest position. Maximum
horsepower provides best cutting results.
• Clean clippings or leaves from underside of
mower deck after each mowing.
• Keep engine in good running condition. Cutting
and recutting requires more horsepower.
• Clean air filter more frequently. Cutting and
recutting stirs up more clippings and dust which
clogs the air filter and reduces engine
performance.
Cutting
Grass
• Grass grows at different rates at different times
of the year. In the heat of the summer, it is
generally best to cut grass at the C, D or E
height-of-cut settings. Only about 1/3 of the
grass blade should be cut off. Cutting below the
C setting is not recommended unless grass is
sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins
to slow down.
• When cutting grass over six inches tall, you may
want to first 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 grass is too long and leaves clumps on top of
lawn, mower may plug and cause engine to stall.
GB–10
• Alternate mowing direction. This helps disperse
clippings over lawn for even fertilization.
If the finished cut lawn appearance is unsatisfactory,
try one or more of the following:
• Sharpen the blade.
• Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
• Raise the height-of-cut setting on your mower.
• Cut grass more frequently.
• Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full
swath with each pass.
• Mow across the marginal areas a second time.
• Set height-of-cut on front wheels one notch
lower than rear wheels. (example: set front
wheels at “C” setting and rear wheels at “D”
setting)
Cutting
Leaves
• When cutting is complete, always be sure that
50% of the lawn shows through the cut leaf
cover. This may require one or more passes over
the leaves.
• For light leaf coverage, position all wheels at the
same height-of-cut setting.
• If there are more than five inches of leaves on
lawn, set the front wheels one or two notches
higher than the rear wheels. This makes it easier
to feed leaves under mower deck.
• Walk at a slower mowing speed if leaves are not
being cut up finely enough to be hidden down in
the grass.
• If you cut up a lot of oak leaves, you might want
to add lime to your grass in the spring. Lime
reduces the acidity of oak leaves.

replacement bag.
Setting
Height-of-Cut
Toro’s exclusive SmartWheel provides a simple
method for determining the proper cutting height.
The SmartWheel has two cutting scales —
SPARSE/NORMAL and LUSH — to ensure the best
height-of-cut setting in any mowing condition. Use
the SPARSE/NORMAL scale during the warm
summer season for the majority of your mowing. The
LUSH scale is for thick, moist, succulent grass that
grows most often in the spring.
In general, it is recommended that:
• Grass length should usually be cut at the C, D or
E settings or MAINTAINED
at two to three
inches in height.
GB–12
• Cutting below the C setting is not recommended
unless grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass
growth begins to slow down. When cutting long
grass, you may need to use a higher
height-of-cut setting and a slower walking speed;
then recut the grass at a more normal setting. If
grass is too long and leaves clumps on top of
lawn, mower may plug and cause engine to stall.
• The SmartWheel calculates the proper setting to
ensure that no more than 1/3 of the grass blade is
cut off.
1. Before starting the engine and beginning to
mow, push the mower into the grass. Stop when
the letters on the SmartWheel design on the rear
left wheel are upright (Fig. 13).
2. Using the coded SmartWheel design (Fig. 13),
compare the tips of the grass blades to the letters
on the belt cover. Whichever letter the tips of the
grass blades correspond with is the proper
cutting height.
3. Use one or two fingers to squeeze the
height-of-cut adjustment lever (Fig. 14).
To raise the wheel height, squeeze the lever to
unlock the height-of-cut and pull up on the
mower. Release lever when desired height is
found. To lower the height, squeeze the
height-of-cut adjustment lever and push down on
the mower while rolling the mower forward.
Use the pointer on the link rod to locate the
correct setting. All wheels automatically adjust
to the same height-of-cut setting.
4. Make sure the height adjustment lever is locked
into a height setting before beginning operation.
The height should not change when the
height-of-cut is locked.
Maintenance
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Engine could be started accidentally.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Accidental starting of engine could cause
serious injury to operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Pull wire off spark plug before performing
any maintenance or adjustments.
Servicing
Air Cleaner
Normally, replace air cleaner after every 25 operating
hours. More frequent replacing is required when
mower is operated in dusty or dirty conditions. See
your Authorized Toro Service Dealer for replacement
parts.
1. Stop engine and pull wire off spark plug (Fig. 8).
2. Loosen screw securing air cleaner cover to
engine (Fig. 15). Tilt air cleaner cover down and
clean cover thoroughly.
3. Remove paper air cleaner filter (Fig. 15) and
discard.
4. Insert a new paper air cleaner filter.
5. Reinstall air cleaner cover and secure with screw.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate engine without
air cleaner element otherwise extreme engine
wear and damage will likely result.
Replacing
Spark Plug
Use a Champion RJ19LM spark plug or equivalent.
Correct air gap is 0.76 mm (0.030”). Remove plug
after every 25 operating hours and check its
condition.
