Introduction 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.
• 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. • 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. • Use care when checking the reels. Wear gloves and use caution when servicing them.
• If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and any parts of the body away from the cutting units, attachments, and any moving parts, especially the screen at the side of the engine. Keep everyone away. – Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid sudden stops and starts. – When near or crossing roads, always yield the right-of-way. – Apply the service brakes when going downhill to keep forward speed slow and to maintain control of the machine.

Steering arm locking knob Note: To gain an additional 2.5 inches of forward adjustment, mount seat in the front set of mounting holes in the seat mounting plate. 2. Right step 6.
2. Assemble the mount nuts for the reel drive motor to each cutting unit. Leave approximately 1/2 in. (13 mm) of threads exposed on each mount stud (Fig. 8). Warning Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the tractor and cables causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. • Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable.
For Cutting Unit Models 04470, 04471, 04472, and 04473 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. 2 1. Remove the cutting units from the cartons. Assemble and adjust them as listed in the cutting unit Operator’s Manual. Use the gauge bar from the loose parts kit to adjust the height of cut. 1 Figure 10 1.
Rear Ballast 6. Align the sockets in the ball joints so the open side of the socket is centered towards the ball stud. Tighten the jam nuts to secure the sockets in position (Fig. 13). This unit complies with the ANSI B71.4–1999 Standard when 40 lb. (18 kg) of calcium chloride ballast is added to the rear wheel. Important If a puncture occurs in a tire with calcium chloride, remove the unit from the turf area as quickly as possible.
change the oil every 50 hours and the filter every 100 hours. However, change the oil more frequently when the engine is operated in extremely dusty or dirty conditions. Danger In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. 4. Install the filler cap and dipstick firmly in place. Filling the Gas Tank • Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Servicing the Hydraulic System Mobil. Contact your Toro Distributor for details. The oil is available in 5 gallon (19 l) containers from your Toro Distributor, order part no. 100–7674. Recommended Hydraulic Fluid Note: Use of this fluid requires installation of an Oil Cooler Kit, Part No. 105–8339, to the traction unit. This biodegradable fluid will break down quickly if the temperature exceeds 180°F (82°C). The machine’s reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately 8.5 gallons (32.
Controls 2. If the oil level is below the Full mark on the auxiliary tank, remove the cap from the hydraulic oil tank and slowly fill the tank with the appropriate high quality hydraulic fluid until the level is up to the mark next to the sight gauge. Do not mix oils. Install the cap. Brake Pedal The brake pedal (Fig. 18) actuates an automotive drum-type mechanical brake located at each front traction wheel.
Throttle Control Seat Adjusting Handle 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. This lever, located at the front of the seat (Fig. 21), allows a 4 in. (10 cm) fore and aft adjustment. Note: The engine cannot be stopped by the use of the throttle control. 1 Figure 21 1.
Steering Wheel Locking Lever Rotate the lever (Fig. 23) forward to loosen the adjustment, raise or lower steering wheel for operator comfort, then, rotate the lever rearward to tighten the adjustment. 1 Figure 25 1 1. Fuel shut-off (under fuel tank) Break-in Period Refer to the Engine Manual supplied with the machine for oil change and maintenance procedures recommended during the break-in period. Figure 23 1.
• The functional control lever is in neutral. A. Move the throttle control to the Fast position and momentarily engage the reels by moving the raise/lower mow control lever forward. The cutting units should drop and all the reels should turn. The safety interlock system prevents the machine from moving unless: • The parking brake is off. B. Move the raise/lower mow control lever rearward. The cutting reels should stop and the cutting units should raise to the full transport position.
Checking the Leak Detector The leak detector system is designed to assist in early detection of hydraulic oil system leaks. If the oil level in the main hydraulic reservoir, is lowered by 4 to 6 ounces (118–177 ml), the float switch in the tank will close. After a one second delay, the alarm will sound, alerting the operator (Fig. 28). Expansion of oil, due to normal heating during machine operation, will cause the oil to transfer into the auxiliary oil reservoir.
Mowing Procedures 4. Release the float. The alarm should stop sounding. 5. Install the strainer screen and hydraulic tank cap. Move the ignition switch to the Off position. 1. Approach the green with the functional control lever in the Mow position and the throttle at full speed. Start on one edge of the green so the ribbon procedure of cutting may be used. This holds compaction to a minimum and leaves a neat, attractive pattern on the greens. Preparing the Machine for Mowing 2.
Leak Detector Operation 4. As the front of the baskets cross the edge of the green, move raise/lower mow control rearward. This will stop the reels and lift the cutting units. Timing of this procedure is important, so the mowers do not cut into the fringe area. However, as much of the green as possible should be cut to minimize the amount of grass left to mow around the outer periphery. The leak detector alarm may sound for one of the following reasons: • A leak of 4 to 6 ounces (118–177 ml) has occurred.
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, we do not recommend this as a 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 (Fig. 32). 1 Figure 32 1.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right side of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After first 8 hours • Change the engine oil. • Replace the engine oil filter. After first 50 hours • Replace the hydraulic oil filter. • Check the engine RPM (at idle and full throttle). Every 50 hours • • • • • Every 100 hours • Replace the engine oil filter. • Replace the air filter element.

Removing the Seat The seat may be removed to ease performing maintenance in the valve block area of the machine. 1. Unlatch and raise the seat. Secure with prop rod. 2. Disconnect the 2 wire harness connectors under the seat. 3. Lower the seat and remove the cotter pin securing the seat pivot rod to the frame (Fig. 41). 4. Slide the seat pivot rod to the left side, slide the seat forward, and lift the seat out. 1 5. Reverse the procedure to install the seat. Figure 42 1 1.
3. Screw the filter on by hand until the gasket contacts the filter adapter, then tighten 1/2 to 3/4 turn further. Do not overtighten. 2 4. Add oil to the crankcase; refer to Checking the Engine Oil, page 16. Do not overfill. 5. Dispose of the used oil properly. 1 Servicing the Air Cleaner 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.
1 2 4 1. Start the engine and let it run at half throttle for approximately five minutes to warm up. 3 5 2. Move the throttle control to the Slow setting. Adjust the idle stop screw counterclockwise until it no longer contacts the throttle lever. 6 3. Bend the governed idle spring anchor tang (Fig. 47) to attain an idle speed of 1450±50 RPM. Check the speed with a tachometer. 7 Figure 46 1. Throttle casing clamp screw 2. Throttle cable 3. Swivel 4. Stop 5. Choke casing clamp screw 6.
Important A cracked, fouled, dirty, or otherwise malfunctioning spark plug must be replaced. Do not sand blast, scrape, or clean electrodes by using a wire brush because grit may eventually release from the plug and fall into the cylinder. The result is usually a damaged engine. 1 4. Set the air gap between the center and side of the electrodes at 0.030 in. (0.76 mm) (Fig. 48) Install the correctly gapped spark plug w/gasket seal, and tighten the plug to 200 in.-lb. (23 N⋅m).
Adjusting the Brakes 4. 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. A brake adjustment rod is located on each side of the machine so that the brakes can be equally adjusted. Adjust the brakes as follows: 5. Dispose of the oil properly. Note: If the leak detector alarm sounds, turn the key off and wait a few minutes for the oil level to equalize in the tanks.
Adjusting the Transmission for Neutral Adjusting the Transport Speed If the machine creeps when the traction control pedal is in the neutral position, the neutral return mechanism must be adjusted. The traction pedal is adjusted for maximum transport speed at the factory, but an adjustment may be required if the pedal reaches full stroke before it contacts the pedal stop, or if a decrease in transport speed is desired. Obtaining Maximum Transport Speed 1.
Adjusting the Mowing Speed 1 The machine is adjusted at the factory, but speed may be varied if desired. 1. Loosen jam nut on pedal lock capscrew (Fig. 54). 1 Figure 55 1. Flow control valve Adjusting the Lift Cylinders Figure 54 To regulate the height of the front cutting units when in the raised (transport) position, the front lift cylinders may be adjusted. 1. Pedal lock capscrew 1. Lower the cutting units to the ground. 2.
Servicing the Fuses If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the cables, negative (–) cable first, and scrape the clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect the cables, positive (+) cable first, and coat the terminals with petroleum jelly. The fuses in the machine’s electrical system are located under the seat (Fig. 56). Warning Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the tractor and cables causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.
Storing the Machine 5. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the crankcase. Refill it with fresh oil; refer to Changing the Engine Oil and Filter, page 31. If you wish to store the machine for a long period of time, the following steps should be performed prior to storage: 6. Remove the spark plugs, pour one ounce of SAE 30 oil into the cylinders, and crank slowly to distribute the oil. Replace the spark plugs; refer to Replacing the Spark Plugs, page 33. 1.
