If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it and  
lock the side discharge door (refer to Removing the Side  
Discharge Chute) before bagging the clippings.  
Removing the Grass Bag  
To remove the bag, reverse the steps above.  
Side-discharging the Clippings  
Use the side discharge for cutting very tall grass.  
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result  
in serious personal injury.  
If the bag is on the mower, remove it and insert the rear  
discharge plug (refer to Removing the Grass Bag) before  
side-discharging the clippings.

grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins  
to slow down. Refer to Adjusting the Cutting Height.  
When cutting grass over 6 inches (15 cm) 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 mower may  
plug and cause the engine to stall.  
Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves tend  
to clump on the yard and can cause the mower to plug  
or the engine to stall.  
Figure 24  
3. Install the side discharge chute and close the door onto  
the chute (Figure 25).  
Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if  
you slip and contact the blade. Mow only in dry  
conditions.  
Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the  
clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.  
If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try one  
or more of the following:  
Figure 25  
Removing the Side Discharge Chute  
To remove the side discharge chute, reverse the steps above.  
– Replace the blade or have it sharpened.  
– Walk at a slower pace while mowing.  
– Raise the cutting height on your mower.  
– Cut the grass more frequently.  
Important: Lock the side discharge door after you  
close it (Figure 26).  
– Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full  
swath with each pass.  
– Set the cutting height on the front wheels one  
notch lower than the rear wheels. For example, set  
the front wheels at 2 inches (51 mm) and the rear  
wheels at 2-3/8 inches (60 mm).  
Figure 26  
Cutting Leaves  
Operating Tips  
General Mowing Tips  
After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn  
shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need to  
make more than one pass over the leaves.  
Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches, and  
other debris that the blade could hit.  
If there are more than 5 inches (13 cm) of leaves on the  
lawn, set the front cutting height one or two notches  
higher than the rear cutting height.  
Avoid striking solid objects with the blade. Never  
deliberately mow over any object.  
If the mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate,  
immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire from  
the spark plug, and examine the mower for damage.  
Slow down your mowing speed if the mower does not  
cut the leaves finely enough.  
For best performance, install a new blade before the  
cutting season begins.  
Replace the blade when necessary with a Toro  
replacement blade.  
Cutting Grass  
Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time. Do  
not cut below the 2-inch (51 mm) setting unless the

Changing the Engine Oil  
Change the engine oil after the first 2 operating hours;  
change it yearly thereafter.  
Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil  
to warm it. Warm oil flows better and carries more  
contaminants.  
Figure 32  
1. Refer to Preparing for Maintenance.  
2. Remove the dipstick (Figure 29).  
3. Install the front wheels.  
Replacing the Blade  
Important: You will need a torque wrench to install  
the blade properly. If you do not have a torque wrench  
or are uncomfortable performing this procedure,  
contact an Authorized Service Dealer.  
Examine the blade whenever you run out of gasoline. If the  
blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately. If the  
blade edge is dull or nicked, have it sharpened or replace it.  
Figure 29  
3. Tip the mower onto the right side to drain the used oil  
out through the oil fill tube (Figure 30).  
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result  
in serious personal injury.  
Wear gloves when servicing the blade.  
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and  
hook it onto the retaining post. Refer to Preparing for  
Maintenance.  
Figure 30  
4. Slowly pour oil into the oil fill tube until the oil level  
reaches the Full line on the dipstick (Figure 31). Do not  
overfill. (Max. fill: 20 oz., type: SAE 30W detergent  
oil with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ,  
SL, or higher.)  
2. Tip the mower onto its side with the air filter up.  
3. Use a block of wood to hold the blade steady (Figure  
33).

to point toward the mower housing.  
Preparing the Mower for  
Storage  
6. Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt to  
60 ft-lb (82 Nm).  
Important: A bolt torqued to 60 ft-lb (82 Nm)  
is very tight. While holding the blade with a block  
of wood, put your weight behind the ratchet or  
wrench and tighten the bolt securely. This bolt is  
very difficult to overtighten.  
Gasoline vapors can explode.  
Do not store gasoline more than 30 days.  
Do not store the mower in an enclosure near an  
open flame.  
Cleaning the Mower  
Allow the engine to cool before storing it.  
1. On the last refueling of the year, add fuel stabilizer to  
the fuel as directed by the engine manufacturer.  
The mower may dislodge material from under the  
mower housing.  
2. Dispose of any unused fuel properly. Recycle it  
according to local codes, or use it in your automobile.  
Wear eye protection.  
Stay in the operating position (behind the  
handle).  
Note: Old fuel in the fuel tank is the leading cause of  
hard starting. Do not store fuel without stabilizer more  
than 30 days, and do not store stabilized fuel more than  
90 days.  
Do not allow bystanders in the area.  
1. With the engine running on a flat paved surface, spray a  
stream of water in front of the right rear wheel (Figure  
34).  
3. Run the mower until the engine stops from running  
out of fuel.  
4. Prime the engine and start it again.  
The water will splash into the path of the blade, cleaning  
out the clippings.  
5. Allow the engine to run until it stops. When you can no  
longer start the engine, it is sufficiently dry.  
6. Remove the wire from the spark plug and connect the  
wire onto the retaining post.  
7. Remove the spark plug, add 1 oz. (30 ml) of oil through  
the spark plug hole, and pull the starter rope slowly  
several times to distribute oil throughout the cylinder to  
prevent cylinder corrosion during the off-season.  
Figure 34  
8. Loosely install the spark plug.  
2. When no more clippings come out, stop the water and  
move the mower to a dry area.  
9. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.  
3. Run the engine for a few minutes to dry the housing  
to prevent it from rusting.  
Folding the Handle  
Folding or unfolding the handle improperly can  
damage the cables, causing an unsafe operating  
condition.  
Do not damage the cables when folding or  
unfolding the handle.
