SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS A CAUTION Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when working with electrolyte. Charge the battery in a well ventilated place so gasses produced while charging can dissipate. Since the gases are explosive, keep open flames and electrical spark away from the battery; do not smoke. Nausea may result if the gases are inhaled. Unplug charger from electrical outset before connecting to or disconnecting charger leads from battery posts. 2.
BEFORE OPERATING FILL FUEL TANK (Fig. 25) The engine runs on No. 2 diesel fuel. Fuel tank capacity is approximately 8.5 gallons. 1. Clean area around fuel tank cap. 7 Figure 26 N 2. Remove fuel tank cap, Figure 26 1. Radiator screen 2. Radiator 3. Ol coaster 1. The cooling system is filled with & 50/50 solution of water and permanent ethylene glycol anti~freeze. Check level of coolant at beginning of each day before starting the starting the engine. Capacity of cooling system is approximately 5—1/4 quarts.
BEFORE OPERATING CHECK HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUID {Fig. 28) The hydraulic system is designed to operate with Mobil MIDTERM or equivalent anti—wear hydraulic fluid. The making's system is filled at the factory with approximately 3.8 gallons of fluid. However, check level of hydraulic fluid before engine is first started and daily thereafter.
KNOW YOUR CONTROLS Traction and Stopping Pedal (Fig. Traction pedal has three functions: one, to make the machine nave forward, two, to move it backward and three, to stop machine. Using the heel and toe of the right foot, depress top of pedal to move forward and bottom of pedal to move backward or to assist in stopping when moving forward. Also, allow pedal to move or move it neutral position to stop machine. For operator comfort, do not rest heel of foot on reverse when operating forward. Figure 30 1.

Injection pump inset screw 3, Priming lever &, Note filing angle BLEEDING COOLING SYSTEM (Fig. 39) I systems being completely filled or more than a quart of coolant is being added to system, cooling system may need to be bled. 1. Unlatch and raise hood. 2. Remove radiator cap. A CAUTION it engine has been running, pressurized hot coolant can escape when radiator cap Is removed and cause burns. 3.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 40 1. Steering column 2. Frame bracket TOWING TRACTION UNIT (Fig. 41) in case of emergency, the Reel master 216-D can be towed for a short distance. However, Toto does not recommend this as a standard procedure. IMPORTANT: Do not tow the machine faster than 2-3 mph because drive system may be damaged. If machine must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer. 1. Rotate by-pass valve on pump counterclockwise until it is fully open. Figure 41 1.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS INSPECTION AND AFTER MOWING At the completion of mowing operation, thoroughly wash the machine with a garden hose — without a nozzle — so excessive water pressure will not cause contamination and damage to seals and bearings. Make sure radiator screen, radiator and oil cooler are kept free of dirt or grass clippings.
MAINTENANCE A CAUTION Bafflers servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop engine and remove key from the switch. HOOD REMOVAL (Fig. 51} Hood may be easily removed to ease maintenance procedures in engine area of machine. 1. Unlatch and raise hood. 2. Remove one of the cotter pins securing hood pivot to mounting brackets. Figure 51 1. Cotter ping 3. Slide hood to one side, lift other side and pull out of brackets. 4. Reverse procedure fo reinstall hood.
MAINTENANCE 1. Remove and service dust cup; refer to Servicing Dust Cup and Baffle. 2. Remove wing nut w/gasket and slide filter element out of air cleaner body. 3. Clean the element by washing it in a solution of filter cleaner (Toto Part No. 27-7220) and water, or blow dirt out of filter by using compressed air. SERVICING AIR CLEANER FILTER (Fig. 53) Note: Compressed air is recommended when element must be used immediately after servicing because a washed element must be dried before it is used.
MAINTENANCE CHANGING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUID AND FILTER (Fig. 55-586) The hydraulic system filter must be changed initially, after the first five hours of operation, and thereafter every 250 hours of operation or yearly, whichever comes first. Use a genuine Tore oil filter for replacement. The hydraulic fluid must be changed every 500 hours of operation or yearly, whichever comes first. 1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units, set parking brake and turn the engine off. 2.
MAINTENANCE ADJUSTING TRANSMISSION FOR NEUTRAL (Fig. 58-59) If the machine “creeps” when the traction control pedalos in the neutral position, the spring leaf assembly must be adjusted. 1. Block up under the frame s0 one of the front wheels is off the floor. Place selector control in two wheel drive position. 2. To expose spring leak assembly, remove {4) screws securing right fender 1o frame and remove fender. Figure 58 1. Right tender 2. Fender mounting screws 3.
MAINTENANCE Figure 61 1. Belt tension rod 2. Belt tension rod cup retainer 3. Jam nut 3. To release belt tension fo cutting units, push retaining cup rearward and pivot yoke downward . ‘Water Pump Belt The water pump belt should have a maximum deflection ot .100 inch with a 3 pound load applied. 1. On right side of engine, loosen bolt securing water pump tidier pulley to adjusting bracket, 2. Adjust belt to proper tension and re-tighten bolt. Alternator / Fan Best (Fig.
MAINTENANCE HAND BRAKE ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 65) 1. Remove both front wheels. 2. Make sure brake is in the OFF position. 3. Loosen jam newton clevis. Remove cotter pin securing top of clevis to upper brake lever. Rotate clevis, one turn at a time, to decrease distance between levers. 4. Reinstall clevis to upper brake lever and tighten jam nut. Repeat procedure on opposite side of machine. Figure 65 1. Lower brake ravel 2. Upper brake lever 3. Clovis 5.
MAINTENANCE BATTERY STORAGE If the machine will be stored more than 30 days, remove the battery and charge it fully. Either store iron the shelf on the machine. Leave the cables disconnected if stored on the machine. Store the battery ina cool atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the charge in the battery. To prevent battery from freezing, make sure it is fully charged. The specific gravity ofa fully charged battery is 1.265 — 1.299.
