Operating Tips
General Mowing Tips
•
Inspect the area where you will use the machine
and remove all objects that the machine could
throw.
•
Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never
deliberately mow over any object.
•
If the machine strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
immediately shut off the machine, wait for all
moving parts to stop, remove the battery pack
from the machine, and examine the machine for

damage.
•
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 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.

•
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
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.
•
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.
