Figure 12 Stopping the Engine To stop the engine, release the blade control bar. Note: Remove the ignition key when you leave the mower (electric-start models only). Important: When you release the blade control bar, both the engine and blade should stop within 3 seconds. If they do not stop properly, stop using your mower immediately and contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Note: If the mower does not start after several attempts, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Using the Self-propel Drive To operate the self-propel drive, simply walk with your hands on the upper handle and your elbows at your sides, and the mower will automatically keep pace with you (Figure 13). Recycling the Clippings Your mower comes from the factory ready to recycle the grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn. If the grass bag is on the mower and the bag-on-demand lever is in the bagging position, move the lever to the recycling position (refer to Operating the Bag-on-Demand Lever) before recycling the clippings. If the side-discharge chute is on the mower, remove it (refer to Removing the Side Discharge Chute) before recycling the clippings. Bagging the Clippings Use the grass bag when you want to collect grass and leaf clippings from the lawn. Figure 13 WARNING A worn grass bag could allow small stones and other similar debris to be thrown in the operator's or bystander's direction and result in serious personal injury or death to the operator or bystanders. Check the grass bag frequently. If it is damaged, install a new Toro replacement bag. Note: If the mower does not freely roll backward after self-propelling, stop walking, hold your hands in place, and allow the mower to roll a couple of inches (centimeters) forward to disengage the wheel drive. You can also try reaching just under the personal pace handle to the metal handle and push the mower forward a couple of inches (centimeters). If the mower still does not roll backward easily, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. If the side discharge chute is on the mower, remove it (refer to Removing the Side Discharge Chute) before bagging the clippings. If the bag-on-demand lever is in the recycling position, move it to the bagging position (refer to Operating the Bag-on-Demand Lever). WARNING The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result in serious personal injury. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. Installing the Grass Bag 1. Raise and hold up the rear deflector (Figure 14). 9
