Steering-Arm-Locking Pedal Press the pedal (Figure 14) and raise or lower the steering arm for operator comfort, then, release the pedal to lock the arm in place. Throttle Lever Use the throttle lever (Figure 16) to control the speed of the engine. Move the throttle lever toward the FAST position to increases the engine speed; move it toward the SLOW position to decrease the engine speed. Important: You cannot shut off the engine using the throttle lever. g014603 Figure 14 1. Traction pedal—forward 3.
Functional Control Lever Hour Meter The functional control lever (Figure 16) provides 2 traction selections plus a NEUTRAL position. You can shift from mow to transport or transport to mow (not to neutral) while the machine is in motion; no damage will result. The hour meter (Figure 17) indicates the total hours the machine has operated. It starts to function whenever you rotate the ignition switch to the ON position.
Backlap Lever Seat-Adjusting Lever The backlap lever is located under the plastic cover to the left of the seat. Use the backlap lever (Figure 19) in conjunction with the raise/lower mow control lever and the reel-speed control for backlapping the reels. The seat-adjusting lever is located on the front, left corner of the seat (Figure 21), allowing you to adjust the seat forward and rearward.

Fuel Specification Operation • Fuel tank capacity: 22.7 L (6 U.S. gallons) Note: Determine the left and right sides of the • Recommended Fuel: machine from the normal operating position. – For best results, use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with low (<500 ppm) or ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The minimum cetane rating should be 40. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness.
Filling the Fuel Tank 1. During Operation Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove it (Figure 23). During Operation Safety General Safety • The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible for accidents that may cause personal injury or property damage. • Wear appropriate clothing, including eye protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant footwear, and hearing protection. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose jewelry.
• – Lower the cutting units to the ground and ensure that they are disengaged. – Engage the parking brake. – Shut off the engine and remove the key. – Wait for all movement to stop. Operate the machine only in good visibility and appropriate weather conditions. Do not operate the machine when there is the risk of lightning. • • Rollover Protection System (ROPS) Safety • • Do not remove any of the ROPS components from • • • • • the machine.

Insert the key into the switch and rotate it to the ON position. Hold it in the ON position until the glow-plug-indicator light goes off (approximately 6 seconds). Turn the ignition key to the START position. Note: If fluid leaks continue to appear, contact your authorized Toro distributor for assistance and, if necessary, replacement parts.
The safety-interlock system prevents the reels from operating unless the functional-control lever is in the MOW position. The engine should shut off, which indicates that the interlock system is operating correctly. Correct the problem if it is not operating properly. Checking the Traction Pedal Checking the Raise/Lower Mow Control Perform the following system checks daily to ensure that the interlock system is operating correctly: 1. 2.

Approach the green with the functional-control lever in the MOW position and the throttle at full speed. 2. Start on 1 edge of the green so that you can use the ribbon procedure of cutting. Note: This holds compaction to a minimum and leaves a neat, attractive pattern on the greens. 3.
After Operation damage to the turf may result. Stopping the machine on a wet green may leave marks or indentations from the wheels. After Operation Safety Cutting the Periphery and Finishing the Job 1. General Safety Finish cutting the green by mowing the outer periphery. Change the direction of cutting from the previous mowing. • Engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all movement to stop before you leave the operator’s position.
Inspecting and Cleaning after Mowing Hauling the Machine After mowing, thoroughly wash the machine with a garden hose without a nozzle so that excessive water pressure does not contaminate and damage the seals and bearings. Do not wash a warm engine or the electrical connections with water. • Use a full-width ramp for loading the machine into • Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or a truck. a trailer or a truck.
Towing the Machine In case of an emergency, you can tow the machine for up to 0.4 km (1/4 mile). Important: Do not tow the machine faster than 3 to 5 km/h (2 to 3 mph) to avoid damaging the drive system. If you must move the machine more than 0.4 km (1/4 mile), 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 27). g014627 Figure 27 1. Bypass valve-slot shown in closed (horizontal) position 2.
Maintenance CAUTION Failure to properly maintain the machine could result in premature failure of machine systems causing possible harm to you or bystanders. Keep the machine well maintained and in good working order as indicated in these instructions. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Note: Download a free copy of the electrical or hydraulic schematic by visiting www.Toro.com and searching for your machine from the Manuals link on the home page.

Ensure that the filter-drain plug is closed. Open the fuel-shutoff valve. 1. Close the fuel-shutoff valve (Figure 34) below the fuel tank. Inspecting the Fuel Lines and Connections Service Interval: Every 2 years Inspect the fuel lines for deterioration, damage, or loose connections. g014626 Figure 34 1.
Electrical System Maintenance 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. Electrical System Safety • Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable. • Disconnect the battery before repairing the machine. Disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive last. Connect the positive terminal first and the negative last.
Drive System Maintenance Checking the Tire Pressure Service Interval: Before each use or daily Vary the tire pressure for all 3 wheels, depending upon your turf conditions, from a minimum of 83 to a maximum of 110 kPa (12 psi to 16 psi). Checking the Torque of the Wheel Nuts g014616 Figure 37 Service Interval: After the first hour 1. Eccentric 2. Locknut After the first 10 hours Every 200 hours WARNING Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts could result in personal injury.
Adjusting the Mowing Speed The mow speed is set to 3.8 mph at the factory. You can adjust the forward moving speed from 0 to 8 km/h (0 to 5 mph). 1. Loosen the jam nut on the trunnion bolt (Figure 39). 2. Loosen the nut securing the lock and mow brackets on the pedal pivot. g015494 Figure 38 1. Pedal stop 1. Put the functional-control lever in the TRANSPORT position and loosen the locknut securing the pedal stop to the floor plate (Figure 38). 2.
Cooling System Maintenance 3. Checking the Engine-Coolant Level Cooling System Safety The capacity of the cooling system is approximately 4.6 L (4.9 US qt). • Swallowing engine coolant can cause poisoning; keep out of reach from children and pets. Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 solution of water and permanent ethylene glycol antifreeze. Check the level of the coolant at the beginning of each day before starting the engine.
Brake Maintenance Belt Maintenance Burnishing the Brakes Adjusting the Alternator Belt Service Interval: Yearly Firmly apply the brakes and drive the machine at mowing speed until the brakes are hot, as indicated by their smell. You may need to adjust the brakes after the break-in period; refer to Adjusting the Brakes (page 41). Service Interval: After the first 8 hours Ensure that the belt is properly tensioned to ensure proper operation of the machine and prevent unnecessary wear. 1.
