3. Unscrew the dipstick out of the tube and check the oil level. In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark which can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. 4. If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap from the valve cover and pour oil into the opening in the valve cover until the oil level is up to the Full mark on the dipstick.
Checking the Hydraulic Fluid Level Note: Many hydraulic fluids are almost colorless, making it difficult to spot leaks. A red dye additive for the hydraulic system oil is available in 2/3 oz. (20 ml) bottles. One bottle is sufficient for 4-6 gal (15-22 1) of hydraulic oil. Order part no. 44-2500 from your authorized Toro distributor. This red dye is not recommended for use with biodegradable fluids. Use food coloring. The hydraulic fluid reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately 8.5 U.S.
Checking the Tire Pressure 1. Sit on the seat, lock the parking brake, disengage the raise/lower mow control and move the functional control lever to Neutral. The tires are over-inflated at the factory for shipping purposes. Reduce the pressure to the proper levels before starting the unit. 2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make sure the pedal is in the Neutral position.
Checking the Safety Interlock System and engage the parking brake. Start the engine and move the functional control lever to mow or transport. The engine should kill, which means that the interlock system is operating correctly. Correct the problem if it is not operating properly. 4. Sit on the seat, move the traction pedal to Neutral, move the functional control lever to Neutral, and engage the parking brake. Start the engine.

Important: Familiarize yourself with the fact that the No. 1 cutting unit reel is delayed and therefore, you should practice to try to gain the required timing necessary to minimize the cleanup mowing operation. 3. Overlap a minimal amount with the previous cut on return passes. To assist in maintaining a straight line across the green and keep the machine an equal distance from the edge of the previous cut, establish an imaginary sight line approximately 6 to 10 ft (1.
Leak Detector Operation The leak detector alarm may sound for one of the following reasons: • A leak of 4 to 6 ounces (118-177 ml) has occurred. • The oil level in the main reservoir is reduced by 4 to 6 ounces due to contraction of the oil by cooling. If the alarm sounds, it should be turned off as quickly as possible and inspected for leaks. If the alarm sounds while operating on a green it may be appropriate to drive off the green first.
Towing the Traction Unit In case of an emergency the machine can be towed for a short distance (less than 1/4 mile (0.4 km)). However, Toro does not recommend this as standard procedure. Important: Do not tow the machine faster than 2-3 MPH (3-5 km/h) because the drive system may be damaged. If the machine must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer. 1. Locate the bypass valve on the pump and rotate it so that the slot is vertical (Figure 35 ). Figure 35 1.
