A broken blade could cause serious injury
or death to operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not operate mower without accelerator.

2. CHECK ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 23 & 24)—Move
control bar toward handle until slack in wire is
removed. Gap between brake lever and handle
must be 1/8"–3/16". See step 3 for adjustment.
3. ADJUST CABLE CONDUIT (Fig. 23 &
24)—Loosen nut on cable bracket. Insert
1/8"–3/16" object between brake lever and
handle. Pull down on cable conduit until all
slack is removed from wire. Then tighten nut.

Charging Battery

(Electric start models only)
Although a new battery is not fully charged, a partial
charge of 4 hours provides enough energy for several
starts. However, a new battery must be charged for 72
continuous hours to ensure full charge. Also, charge
battery for 72 hours when mower is stored and in the
spring. During normal operation, engine alternator
keeps battery charged.
1. Stop engine and disconnect wire harness from
battery terminal (Fig. 6).
2. If desired, battery can be removed by removing
(2) locknuts, (2) flat washers, and (2) carriage
bolts. However, removal is not required if
mower can be positioned near an electrical
outlet.
3. Connect TORO electro charger to battery and
plug into 120VAC power outlet. After charging
battery for specified time, unplug charger and
disconnect from battery.
4. Connect wiring harness to battery terminal.
IMPORTANT: Only the TORO electro
charger is recommended because other
chargers could damage the battery. Always
use charger indoors and charge battery at
room temperature (+70 F) whenever possible.
Do not charge battery longer than 72 hours
because damage could result.
