DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION identify safety messages. Whenever the triangular safety alert symbol appears, understand the safety message that follows. “IMPORTANT” highlights special mechanical information and “NOTE” emphasizes general product information worthy of special attention.
Safety Training 3. 1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. 2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawn mower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. 3. Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby. WARNING—Petrol is highly flammable. • Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. • Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refueling.
• stay alert for bumps and hollows and other hidden hazards; • never mow across the face of the slope, unless the lawn mower is designed for this purpose. adjustment can be made from the operator’s position. 6. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment. • Use only approved drawbar hitch points. • Limit loads to those you can safely control. • Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing. • Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when suggested in the instruction handbook.

Before Operating CHECK THE ENGINE OIL DAILY 1. Park the machine on a level surface. Release the engine cover latches (Fig. 1). 2. Open the engine cover and hold it upright 3. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinstall it into the fill tube and pull it out again; the oil level should be up to the FULL mark (Fig. 2). 4. If the oil is below the FULL mark, remove the fill cap (Fig. 3) and add SAE 10W-30 oil until the level reaches the FULL mark. DO NOT OVERFILL. Crankcase capacity is 6.9 qt. (6.
of filler neck with No. 2 diesel fuel. Then install the cap. ① DANGER Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution when storing or handling it. Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running, hot, or when the machine is in an enclosed area. Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before starting the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container and keep the cap in place.
Controls Seat Adjustment (Fig. 6) The seat adjusting lever allows 15 cm (5.9 inches) fore and aft adjustment in 15 mm increments. Arm Rest (Fig. 7) The arm rest pivots up and down. Backrest Knob (Fig. 7)—The backrest knob adjusts the backrest angle from 5–20 degrees. Suspension Lever (Fig. 7). The suspension lever adjusts the seat to the operator’s weight. Use the up position for lightweight operators, the down position for heavy-weight operators. The backrest cushion and bottom seat cushion are removable.
indicator light and audible signal warn of excessively high hydraulic temperature. Hydraulic Oil Level Warning (Fig. 8)—A warning indicator light and audible signal warn of low hydraulic oil level. If the oil level drops further, the engine will automatically stop. The engine cannot be restarted until the oil supply is brought to a safe level. Hydraulic Oil Filter Warning (Fig. 8)—A warning indicator light and audible signal warn of a clogged hydraulic filter. Air Cleaner Warning (Fig.
IMPORTANT: The cam lever nut (Fig. 9 inset) can be tightened if the limiter stop will not hold traction pedal in desired position. ① ➁ Transport Latches (Fig. 9 and 10)—Latches secure the cutting units in upright position for transport. The latch for the front cutting units is foot-operated (Fig. 9). Hand-operated latches control the center and outside cutting units (Fig. 10). Adjust the nut for traction pedal resistance. Cutting Unit Lift Controls (Fig.
OFF. 1 Parking Brake Lever (Fig. 11)—Pull the lever up to lock the brake. To release the brake, pull up on the lever, press the button and lower lever. The brake must be engaged to start the engine. Always engage the parking brake before getting off the seat. 15 2 4 3 14 5 6 Mow-Backlap Lever (Fig. 11)—Move the lever forward to engage the cutting units. Move the lever to the center to stop the cutting units. To backlap the cutting units, lift the lever over stop and hold in the rear position.
Operating Instructions STARTING AND STOPPING 1 15 1. 2 Sit on the seat, keep your foot off the traction pedal. Make sure the parking brake is engaged (Fig. 11). The traction pedal and the mow/backlap lever must be in neutral. 4 3 2. 3. 4. If the engine or air temperature is below 45°–50° F (7–10° C), press and hold the engine preheat switch in until indicator burns brightly (Fig. 11). Then release the switch and go to step 3 to start the engine.
1. Apply the parking brake, turn the ignition key ON. Push the warning indicator light button (Fig. 13). All lights should illuminate and the alarm will sound. Note: The alarm will continue to sound until the problem is corrected or until the alarm silence button is pressed. If a second problem is encountered, the alarm will not sound but the indicator light will illuminate. CHECKING THE INTERLOCK SYSTEM CAUTION Figure 13 1.
Note: There is a 1–2 second delay between rising off the seat and the engine shuts off. 5. Engage the parking brake, move the Mow-Backlap lever to NEUTRAL, start the engine, disengage the hand brake and raise off the seat. If the engine stops, the interlock system is operating. If the engine does not stop, there is a malfunction that must be repaired immediately. PUSHING OR TOWING THE TRACTION UNIT Figure 15 1. Retainer clip 2.
5. Before starting the engine, close the by-pass valve. Do not start the engine when the valve is open. ➁ IMPORTANT: Running the machine with the bypass valve open will cause the hydraulic system to overheat. ① If towing with the front wheel motors disengaged, the Tow Bar Assembly, Toro part no. 58-7020, must be used. OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS Familiarization—Before mowing grass, practice in an open area. Start and stop the engine. Operate the machine in forward and reverse.
does not follow the motion of the lift control lever during operation, adjust the set screw(s) as required. ➂ ➁ When permanent use of cross-cut link is not desired, you can remove it by unscrewing the lift control knob and loosening the set screw. ① To temporarily disconnect the cross-cut link, stop the engine, pull back on the lift lever until the slot in the link aligns with the mow control lever and swing the link to the side.

CHECKING PLANETARY GEAR DRIVE Initially, check the oil level after 50 operating hours and check every 800 hours after that. The oil capacity is approximately 30 oz. (885 ml) high-quality 80–90 weight Gear Lube. To check the oil level, the oil should be at the bottom of the check/drain plug hold (Fig. 40) when the hole is placed in the 3 o’clock or 9o’clock position. The traction unit must be on level ground when making this check. Figure 38 1.
