Introduction Warning signals a hazard that may cause serious injury or death if you do not follow the recommended precautions. Read this manual carefully to learn how to operate and maintain your product properly. The information in this manual can help you and others avoid injury and product damage. Although Toro designs and produces safe products, you are responsible for operating the product properly and safely.
Operation – control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by the application of the brake. The main reasons for loss of control are: • Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. • insufficient wheel grip; • Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. • being driven too fast; • Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all blade attachment clutches, shift into neutral, and engage the parking brake.
• Disengage drives, lower the cutting units, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key and disconnect spark plug wire. Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning or repairing. – before making height adjustment unless adjustment can be made from the operator’s position. – before clearing blockages; – before checking, cleaning or working on the mower; • Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives, silencers/mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the cutting units and attachments to the ground. • Check the safety interlock switches daily for proper operation. If a switch should fail, replace the switch before operating the machine. After every two years, replace all four interlock switches in the safety system, whether they are working properly or not.

Activating and Charging the Battery Warning Use only electrolyte (1.265 Specific Gravity) to fill battery initially. Charging the battery produces gasses that can explode. 1. Remove the wing nuts, washers, and battery clamp and lift out the battery. Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and flames away from battery. Important Do not add electrolyte while the battery is in the machine. You could spill it, causing corrosion. 5. Connect a 3 to 4 amp battery charger to the battery posts.
Installing the Rear Wheel Assembly Mounting the Seat Note: Mount the seat slides in the front set of mounting holes to gain an additional 3 in. (7.6 cm) in the forward adjustment, or in the rear mounting holes for an additional 3 in. (7.6 cm) in the rearward adjustment. 1. Remove the bolt and locknut from the wheel mount holes in the rear castor fork (Fig. 4). 2. Install the rear wheel in the castor fork.
1 Installing the Battery 3 1. Mount the battery with the battery terminals toward the hydraulic tank on the machine. Warning Battery terminals or metal tools could short against metal tractor components causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. 2 • When removing or installing the battery, do not allow the battery terminals to touch any metal parts of the tractor.
Installing the Cutting Units 5. Mount the baskets on the pull frames, loosen the jam nuts on the pull arms, and adjust the ball sockets until there is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) clearance between the lip of the basket and the reel blades or the front shield.
Note: Retain the protective covers for the cutting units. Install them whenever the reel drive motors are removed to protect the cutting unit bearings from contamination. 9. Using a hand pump grease gun, fill the cavity at the end of the cutting unit with #2 general purpose grease. 10. Coat the spline shaft of the motor with clean grease and install the motor by rotating the motor clockwise so that the motor flanges clear the studs.
Before Operating Filling the Gas Tank Use unleaded regular gasoline suitable for automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not available. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Important Never use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, or gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
2. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled. Exxon Pennzoil 1 Nuto H 68 AW Hydraulic Oil 68 Shell Texaco Tellus 68 Rando HD 68 Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid—Mobil 224H Important Mobil EAL 224H is the only biodegradable oil tested and approved by Toro. Contamination by mineral–based hydraulic fluids will change the biodegradability and toxicity of this oil.
Important To prevent system contamination, clean the top of the hydraulic oil containers before puncturing them. Ensure that the pour spout and funnel are clean. Note: Make a close visual inspection of the hydraulic components. Inspect them for Ieaks, loose fasteners, missing parts, improperly routed lines, etc. Make any corrections necessary. Fluid level 3-1/2 in. from top of fill hole 2 1 Figure 16 1. Hydraulic reservoir 2.
Operation Parking Brake Button Depressing the brake pedal to actuate the brake assembly, then depressing the small button indicated (Fig. 18) will keep the brakes actuated for parking. Disengage it by depressing the brake pedal. Form the habit of locking the parking brake before you leave the machine. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Think Safety First 3 Please carefully read all of the safety instructions and symbols in the safety section.
Throttle Control 6 The throttle control (Fig. 20) gives the operator the ability to control the speed of the engine. Moving the throttle control toward the Fast position increases the engine RPM; moving the throttle control toward Slow will decrease the engine RPM. 7 Note: The engine cannot be stopped by the use of the throttle control. 1 Choke 3 To start a cold engine, close the carburetor choke by moving the choke control (Fig. 20) forward to the Closed position.
Starting the Engine 1 Note: Inspect the areas beneath the mowers to be certain they are clear of debris. 1. Unlock the mow lockout lever by pulling the pin outward, rotating it clockwise, and inserting the end into the rear hole in the bracket. 2. Sit on the seat, place the shift selector in Neutral, and check the mow and lift pedals to be sure they are level with one another. Figure 22 1. Shift selector 3. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make sure the pedal is in the Neutral position.
Note: Since the machine is new and the bearings and reels are tight, it is necessary to use the Fast throttle control position for this check. A fast throttle setting may not be required after the break-in period. 2. Sit on the seat and engage the parking brake. Depress the lift pedal fully and release it. Move the traction shift selector to the #1 and #2 positions while trying to start the engine in each position.
Preparing the Machine for Mowing Before Mowing Inspect the green for debris, remove the flag from the cup, and determine the best direction to mow. Base the direction to mow on the previous mowing direction. Always mow in an alternate pattern from the previous mowing so that the grass blades will be less apt to lay down and therefore be difficult to trap between the reel blades and bedknife. To assist in aligning the machine for successive cutting passes, it is suggested the following be done to the No.
Transport Operation 4 1 3 Make sure that the cutting units are in the full up position. Set the shift selector in No. 2 if conditions will permit faster ground speed. Shift to No. 1 and operate at slower ground speeds in rough or hilly areas. Use the brakes to slow the machine while going down steep hills to avoid loss of control. Always approach rough areas at a reduced speed (shift selector in No. 1), and cross severe undulations carefully. Familiarize yourself with the width of the machine.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule Maintenance Service Interval After First 8 Hours Maintenance Procedure • Change the engine oil. • Replace the engine oil filter. Check the battery fluid level. Check the battery cable connections. Service the air filter pre-cleaner. Lubricate all grease fittings1. Change the engine oil.

Caution If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously injure you or other bystanders. Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the wire from the spark plug before you do any maintenance. Set the wire aside so that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug. Lubrication The traction unit has grease fittings that must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium-Base Grease.
Changing the Engine Oil and Filter Change the oil and filter after the first 8 hours of operation. Thereafter, change the oil every 50 hours and the filter every 100 hours. Figure 31 1. Remove the drain plug (Fig. 34) and let oil flow into a drain pan. When the oil stops, install the drain plug. 2 Figure 32 1 Figure 34 1. Drain plug 2. Oil filter 2. Remove the oil filter (Fig. 34). Apply a light coat of clean oil to the new filter gasket. 3.
Servicing the Air Cleaner 5. Reinstall the foam element, paper element, and air cleaner cover. Service the air cleaner foam pre-cleaner after every 50 operating hours and the air cleaner cartridge after every 100 operating hours. More frequent cleaning is required when operating in dusty or dirty conditions. Important Do not operate the engine without the air cleaner element because extreme engine wear and damage will likely result. 1. Release the locking clips and remove the air cleaner cover (Fig.
Adjusting the Choke Control 3. Bend the governed idle spring anchor tang (Fig. 38) to attain an idle speed of 1625±50 rpm. Check the speed with a tachometer. 1. Loosen the cable clamp screw securing the cable to the engine (Fig. 37). 2. Move the remote choke control lever forward to the Closed position. 3. Pull firmly on the choke cable until the choke butterfly is completely closed, then tighten the cable clamp screw (Fig. 37).
Changing the Hydraulic Oil and Filter 4. Set the air gap between the center and side of the electrodes at 0.030 in. (.76 mm) (Fig. 39) Install the correctly gapped spark plug w/gasket seal, and tighten the plug to 200 in.-lb. (23 N⋅m). If a torque wrench is not used, tighten the plug firmly. Normally, change the hydraulic oil and filter after every 2000 operating hours. If the oil becomes contaminated, contact your local Toro distributor because the system must be flushed.
4. Fill the hydraulic tank with approximately 4.5 gallons of hydraulic oil; refer to Checking the Hydraulic System, page 18. 2. If the brakes do not lock equally, disconnect the brake rods by removing the cotter pin and clevis pin (Fig. 43). 1 5. Start the machine and run it at idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the fluid and remove any air trapped in the system. Stop the machine and recheck the fluid level. 6. Dispose of the used oil properly.
