However, the cutting height used in the past is generally the best one to use. When cutting grass longer than 15 cm 6 inches tall, you may want to cut the lawn twice to ensure an acceptable quality of cut. It is best to cut only about a third of the grass blade. Cutting more than that is not recommended unless grass is sparse, or it is late fall when grass grows more slowly.
Alternate the mowing direction to keep the grass standing straight. This also helps disperse clippings, which enhances decomposition and fertilization. Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year. To maintain the same cutting height, mow more often in early spring. As the grass growth rate slows in mid summer, mow less frequently. If you cannot mow for an extended period, first mow at a high cutting height, then mow again 2 days later at a lower height setting.
If you must stop the forward motion of the machine while mowing, a clump of grass clippings may drop onto your lawn. To avoid this, move onto a previously cut area with the blades engaged or you can disengage the mower deck while moving forward. Clean clippings and dirt from the underside of the mower deck after each use. If grass and dirt build up inside the mower deck, cutting quality will eventually become unsatisfactory. Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season because a sharp blade cuts cleanly without tearing or shredding the grass blades.
Tearing and shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which slows growth and increases the chance of disease. Check the mower blades after each use for sharpness, and for any wear or damage. File down any nicks and sharpen the blades as necessary. If a blade is damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement blade. Park machine on level ground, disengage drives, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key or disconnect spark plug wire.
Wait for all movement to stop and allow the machine to cool before adjusting, cleaning, repairing, or storing. Never allow untrained personnel to service machine. Clean the machine as stated in the Maintenance section. These materials can become combustible and may result in a fire. Frequently check for worn or deteriorating components that could create a hazard.
Tighten loose hardware. Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary lighting and marking as required by law.
Thoroughly read all of the safety instructions. Knowing this information could help you, your family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury. Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with straps, chains, cable, or ropes. Only use the designated tie-down locations on the mower as shown in Figure Use these locations even when transporting the mower with an attached accessory. Driving on the street or roadway without turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead to accidents causing personal injury.
Use extreme caution when loading or unloading machines onto a trailer or a truck. Use a full-width ramp that is wider than the machine for this procedure. Back up ramps and drive forward down ramps Figure Ensure the ramp is long enough so that the angle with the ground does not exceed 15 degrees Figure On flat ground, this requires a ramp to be at least four times 4X as long as the height of the trailer or truck bed to the ground. A steeper angle may cause mower components to get caught as the unit moves from the ramp to the trailer or truck.
Steeper angles may also cause the machine to tip or lose control. If loading on or near a slope, position the trailer or truck so that it is on the down side of the slope and the ramp extends up the slope. This will minimize the ramp angle. Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck increases the possibility of tip-over and could cause serious injury or death. Do not exceed a degree angle between the ramp and the ground or between the ramp and the trailer or truck.
Ensure the length of ramp is at least four times 4X as long as the height of the trailer or truck bed to the ground. This will ensure that ramp angle does not exceed 15 degrees on flat ground. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration while driving the machine on a ramp as this could cause a loss of control or a tip-over situation.
Important: Always push the machine by hand. Do not tow the machine, because towing may damage it. This machine has an electric-brake mechanism, and to push the machine, the key must be in the RUN position. The battery needs to be charged and functioning to disengage the electric brake.
