Operating Tips
General Mowing Tips
•
Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never
deliberately mow over any object.
•
For best performance, install a new Toro blade
before the cutting season begins or when
necessary.
Cutting Grass
•
Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time.
For improved quality of cut, runtime, and bagging,
cut grass at a higher height of cut.
•
Do not cut at the lowest height-of-cut setting
unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when
grass growth begins to slow down.
•
When cutting tall grass, 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.
– 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 a single pass over the leaves.
•
Remove excessive quantities of leaves from the
ground before cutting the leaves. If the machine is
not cutting leaves finely enough, slow down your
mowing speed, or mow at a higher cutting height
and then again at the desired cutting height.
