Draining Water From The Fuel Filter/Water Separator DANGER Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution when storing or handling it. Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill fuel the tank while 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 speed of the engine. Moving the Throttle Control toward the “FAST” position increases engine RPM; moving the throttle Control toward “SLOW” will decrease engine rpm. Traction Pedal (Fig. 7)—The traction pedal has three functions: 1) to make the machine move forward, 2) to move it backward and 3) to stop the machine. Depress the top of the pedal to move forward and the bottom of the pedal to move backward or to assist in stopping when moving forward.

Water Temperature Light (Fig. 9)—This light glows and the engine automatically shuts-down when the engine coolant temperature gets too high. Water-in-Fuel Indicator Light (Fig. 9)—This light glows when water is detected in the fuel. IMPORTANT: Water must be drained from the fuel filter/water separator to avoid serious engine damage. Refer to Draining Water from Fuel Filter/Water Separator. Figure 10 1.
Operation the ON position. Move the throttle control to the SLOW position. Break-In Period 1. Only 8 hours of mowing operation is required for the Greensmaster 3250-D break-in period. 2. Since the first hours of operation are critical to future dependability of the machine, monitor its functions and performance closely so that minor difficulties, which could lead to major problems, are noted and can be corrected.
Check Interlock System Operation DANGER The purpose of the interlock system is to prevent the engine from cranking or operating the traction pedal if the functional control lever is not in neutral. Also, the engine will shut off if operator leaves seat without the functional control lever in neutral. Reels will shut-off if the functional control lever is moved to neutral or transport. Perform the following system checks daily to be sure the interlock system is operating correctly.
Preparing The Machine For Mowing To assist in aligning the machine for successive cutting passes, it is suggested the following be done to the No. 2 and No. 3 cutting unit baskets: 1. Measure in approximately 12.5 cm from the outer edge of each basket. 2. Either place a strip of white tape or paint a line onto each basket paralleling the outer edge of each basket (Fig.
3. the possibility of bruising the turf. 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 2 to 3 meters ahead of the machine to the edge of the uncut portion of the green. Some find it useful to include the outer edge of the steering wheel as part of the sight line; i.e.
Towing The Traction Unit In case of emergency, the Greensmaster 3250-D can be towed for a short distance. However, Toro does not recommend this as a standard procedure. IMPORTANT: Do not tow the machine faster than 3–5 kmh because drive system may be damaged. If the machine must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer. 1. Locate the by-pass valve on the pump and rotate it 90°. Figure 15 1. By-pass valve 2. Before starting the engine, close by-pass valve by rotating it 90°.
