• the type of machine is unsuitable for its task; • Remember there is no such thing as a safe slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To guard against overturning: • lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes; – do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill; • incorrect hitching and load distribution. • The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for accidents or injuries occurring to himself or herself, other people, or property.
• Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing. • Carefully release pressure from components with stored energy. • Disconnect battery and remove spark plug wire before making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and negative last. • Keep hands and feet away from the cutting units.
• To ensure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro Distributor check the maximum engine speed with a tachometer. Maximum governed engine speed should be 2900 RPM. – Do not drive close to sand traps, ditches, creeks, or other hazards. – Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid sudden stops and starts. • If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor. – When near or crossing roads, always yield the right-of-way.

Installing the Battery Installing the Cutting Units 1. Mount the battery with the battery terminals toward the hydraulic tank on the machine. For Cutting Unit Models 04404, 04406, 04408, 04450, and 04468 Note: When sharpening, setting the height-of-cut, or performing other maintenance procedures on the cutting units, store the cutting unit reel motors in the support tubes on the front of the frame to prevent damage to the hoses.
4. Remove the protective covers from the cutting units and the reel drive motor shafts. Coat the spline shaft of the motor with clean grease and install the motor by rotating the motor clockwise so the motor flanges clear the studs. Rotate the motor counterclockwise until the flanges are encircling the studs and tighten the mounting nuts (Fig. 9). 4 Note: Retain the protective covers for the cutting units.
3. Slide the cutting unit under the pull frame while hooking the lift roller onto the lift arm (Fig. 12). 7. Assemble the mounting capscrews for the reel drive motor to each cutting unit. Leave approximately 1/2 in. (13 mm) of threads exposed on each mounting capscrew (Fig. 14). 4. Slide the sleeve back on the ball joint and rotate the pull arm down so the socket fits over the ball stud. Release the sleeve so it slides over the stud and locks the assemblies together (Fig. 12). 5.
Before Operating Filling the Gas Tank Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Use unleaded regular gasoline suitable for automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not available. 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.

indicated by their smell. An adjustment to the brakes may be required after break-in; refer to Adjusting the Brakes, page 31. Important The motor or wheel seals may show some trace of oil for a short period of time until the machine break-in period has transpired. 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.
engine. The engine should crank and run, which means the interlock system is operating correctly. If the engine did crank, proceed to step 2. If the engine did not crank, contact your local Toro Distributor for assistance. Note: The machine is equipped with an interlock switch on the parking brake. The engine will stop if the traction shift selector is in the #1 and #2 positions with the parking brake engaged. 2. Sit on the seat and engage the parking brake. Depress the lift pedal fully and release it.
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. 4 1 3 2 Mowing Procedures 1. Approach the green with the shift selector in the No. 1 position.
Transport Operation Inspection and Cleanup After Mowing 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.
Daily Maintenance Checklist Duplicate this page for routine use. For the week of: Maintenance Check Item Mon. Tues. Check the safety interlock operation. Check the instrument operation. Check the brake operation. Check the fuel level. Check the engine oil level. Clean the engine air cooling fins. Inspect the air filter pre-cleaner. Check any unusual engine noises. Check the hydraulic hoses for damage. Check for fluid leaks. Check the tire pressure. Check the reel-to-bedknife adjustment.
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. 1. Remove the drain plug (Fig. 35) and let oil flow into a drain pan. When the oil stops, install the drain plug. Figure 32 2 1 Figure 35 1. Drain plug 2. Oil filter 2. Remove the oil filter (Fig. 35). 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. 39) to attain an idle speed of 1450±50 RPM. Check the speed with a tachometer. 1. Loosen the cable clamp screw securing the cable to the engine (Fig. 38). 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. 38).
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. 40) 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 17. 2. If the brakes do not lock equally, disconnect the brake rods by removing the cotter pin and clevis pin (Fig. 44). 1 5.
