Operating T ips
General Mowing T ips
•Inspect the area where you will use the machine
and remove all objects that the machine could
throw .
•A void striking solid objects with the blade. Never
deliberately mow over any object.
•If the machine strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
immediately shut of f the machine, remove the
battery pack from the machine, wait for all moving
14

parts to stop, and examine the machine for
damage.
•For best performance, install a new T oro 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 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.
•W et grass and leaves tend to clump on the yard
and can cause the machine to plug or the motor to
stall. A void mowing in wet conditions.
•Be aware of a potential re hazard in very dry
conditions, follow all local re 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 nished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory ,
try 1 or more of the following:
– Replace the blade or have it sharpened.
– W alk 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 . Y ou 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
