Before Operating CHECK THE ENGINE OIL (Fig. 1) The engine is shipped with 1.7 1 of oil. However, check the oil level before and after you first start the engine. 1. Position the machine on a level surface. 2. Unscrew the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Screw the dipstick into the tube and make sure it is seated fully. Unscrew the dipstick and check the oil level. If it is low, remove the filler cap and add oil.
Before Operating 1 1 Figure 2 1. Figure 4 Fuel tank cap 1. Dipstick filler cap Fill the gasoline tank to the bottom of the filler neck. DO NO OVERFILL. Install the cap. CHECK THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUID The hydraulic system is designed to operate on SAE 10W-30 engine oil or, as a substitute, SAE 10W-40 engine oil. The reservoir is filled at the factory with 4.7 l of 10W-30 engine oil. Check the oil level before first starting the engine and daily thereafter. 4.
Before Operating Figure 5 1.
Controls Traction Pedal (Fig. 6)—The traction pedal: 1) makes the machine move forward, 2) moves it backward and 3) stops the machine. Using the heel and toe of your right foot, depress the top of the pedal to move forward and the bottom of the pedal to move backward or to assist in stopping when moving forward. Also, allow the pedal to move or move it to the neutral position to stop the machine. Do not rest the heel of your foot on reverse when going forward (Fig. 7).

Seat Adjustments Fore and Aft Adjustment—Move the lever on the side of the seat outward, slide the seat to the desired position and release the lever to lock the seat into position. Deluxe Seat Adjustments (Fig. 10) 1 Fore and Aft Adjustment—Pull the handle on the left side of the seat assembly outward.
Operation STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE 1. 2. 3. 4. Be sure the parking brake is set and the PTO switch is in the DISENGAGED position. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make sure the pedal is in the neutral position. Move the choke lever to ON when starting a cold engine—and the throttle lever to the half-throttle position. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it clockwise to start the engine. Release the key when the engine starts.
Operation 3. Slowly press on the lower pad of the traction pedal to move rearward. attachment. NOTE: Hold the lift lever in the down position for 1–2 CHECK OPERATION OF INTERLOCK SWITCHES CAUTION Do not disconnect the safety switches because they are for the operator’s protection. Check switch operation daily to be sure the system is operating correctly. If a switch is not operating correctly, replace it before operating the machine. Replace the switches every two years to be sure of maximum safety. 1.
Operation maintenance machines. Issues to consider when operating are the traction drive, engine speed and the load on the cutting units. Regulate the traction pedal to keep engine rpm high and somewhat constant while mowing to maintain adequate power for the traction and cutting units. Follow operating guidelines presented in this manual and know how to operate the machine safely on all types of terrain. Use the slope gauge, page 34, to determine slope angles of questionable areas.
Operation sharpness and correct reel-to-bedknife adjustment. CUTTING UNIT CHARACTERISTICS The single-knob bedknife adjustment system simplifies the procedure for delivering optimum mowing performance. The precise adjustment possible gives the control to provide a continual self-sharpening action— thus maintaining sharp cutting edges, good quality of cut, and greatly reduced need for routine backlapping. Occasionally running a file across the front edge to remove this burr will improve cutting.

Maintenance LUBRICATION GREASING BEARINGS AND BUSHINGS The traction unit and cutting unit’s grease fittings must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease. If the machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate bearings and bushings after every 25 hours of operation. Bearings and bushings must be lubricated daily when operating conditions are extremely dusty and dirty.

Maintenance CAUTION Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the engine and remove the key from the switch. 1 CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER (Fig. 26–28) Change the oil and filter initially after the first 8 hours of operation; thereafter change the oil every 50 hours and filter every 100 hours. Note: Change the oil and filter every 25 hours when Figure 28 1. Oil filter 3.
Maintenance 2. Remove the wing nut securing the elements to the air cleaner body. the cleaner element because extreme engine wear and damage will likely result. 3. If the foam element is dirty, remove it from the paper element. Clean thoroughly. ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE CONTROL (Fig. 31) 2 Proper throttle operation depends upon proper adjustment of the throttle control. Before adjusting the carburetor, assure the throttle control is operating properly. 1.
Maintenance ADJUSTING THE CHOKE CONTROL (Fig. 31) 1. Loosen the cable clamp screw securing the cable to the engine. 2. Move the remote choke control lever forward to the CLOSED position. 3. Pull firmly on the choke cable until the choke is completely closed, then tighten the cable clamp screw. .Shown with Air Cleaner Removed ADJUSTING CARBURETOR AND SPEED CONTROL (Fig. 32) Figure 32 1.

Maintenance into the cylinder. The result is usually a damaged engine. 4. Set the air gap between the center and side of the electrodes at 0.030”. Install a correctly gapped spark plug with gasket seal and tighten the plug to 200 in-lb. If a torque wrench is not used, tighten the plug firmly. 1. Move the brake lever to the ON position. 2. Measure the distance between the disc brake actuating arm and the stop pin on the axle bracket assembly. Distance should be less than 6 mm. 3.
Maintenance 1. Disengage the PTO switch, set the parking brake and turn the ignition key to “OFF” to stop the engine. Remove the key. 2. Close the fuel valve. 3. Loosen hose clamps and slide them up the hose, away from the filter. 2 1 Figure 36 1. Tie rod 2. Steering stop 4. Figure 35 1. Fuel filter 2. Fuel line 3. Hose clamp 4. Remove the filter from the fuel lines. 5. Install a new filter, if the filter has an arrow, install it with the arrow pointing toward the carburetor. 6.
Maintenance 5. Stop the engine and tighten the lock nut to secure adjustment. 6. Start the engine and check adjustment. Repeat adjustment if necessary. 7. Stop the engine. Remove the jack stands and lower the machine to the shop floor. Test drive the machine to be sure it does not creep. 3 2 1 Figure 38 2 1. Clutch 2. Locknut 3.

Maintenance genuine TORO oil filter for replacement. 2 1. Remove the hydraulic oil filter from the mounting head. 2. Apply a film of oil on the gasket. Install the filter by hand until the gasket contacts the mounting head; then tighten the filter an additional 3/4 turn. 3. Start the engine and check for oil leaks. Allow the engine to run for about two minutes to purge air from the system. Then shut off the engine. 4. Check the level of oil; refer to Check the Hydraulic System Fluid.
Maintenance water. Do not fill cells above the bottom of the split ring inside each cell. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING UNIT BELTS (Fig. 42) Make sure cutting unit belts are properly tensioned to assure correct operation and prevent unnecessary wear. Check all belts often. 1. 2. The cutting unit drive belts should have a maximum deflection of 12 mm with a 3.7 kg load applied. Loosen the jam nut on the front end of the belt tension rod. Turn the rod to lengthen or shorten the rod to the desired length.
