Steering-Arm-Locking Pedal Functional Control Lever 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. 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.
Hour Meter Backlap Lever 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. 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. g014620 Figure 19 1. Backlap lever—mow position 2.
Seat-Adjusting Lever Fuel-Shutoff Valve 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. Close the fuel-shutoff valve (Figure 22), behind the seat and under the fuel tank, when storing or transporting the machine on a truck or trailer.

Filling the Fuel Tank Fuel Specification 1. • Fuel tank capacity: 22.7 L (6 U.S. gallons) • Recommended Fuel: Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove it (Figure 23). – 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. – Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No.
During Operation During Operation Safety • General Safety – 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. • The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Rollover Protection System (ROPS) Safety for accidents that may cause personal injury or property damage.
• Use extreme caution when operating the machine • • • glow-plug-indicator light goes off (approximately 6 seconds). near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, water hazards, or other hazards. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or the edge caves in. Establish a safety area between the machine and any hazard. Identify hazards at the base of the slope. If there are hazards, mow the slope with a pedestrian-controlled machine.
check. A fast throttle setting may not be required after the break-in period. The safety-interlock system prevents the reels from operating unless the functional-control lever is in the MOW position. Note: If fluid leaks continue to appear, contact your authorized Toro distributor for assistance and, if necessary, replacement parts. Checking the Traction Pedal Important: A trace of fluid on the motor or wheel seals is normal. Seals require a small amount of lubrication to perform properly.
Cutting the Green 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 Raise/Lower Mow Control 1. 2. 3. Sit on the seat, move the traction pedal to the NEUTRAL position, move the functional control lever to the NEUTRAL position, and engage the parking brake. Start the engine. Move the raise/lower mow control forward to lower the cutting units. The cutting units should lower but not start rotating.
Cutting the Periphery and Finishing the Job 1. Finish cutting the green by mowing the outer periphery. Change the direction of cutting from the previous mowing. Note: Use the throttle lever to adjust the machine speed when you cut the periphery. This will match the clip to the green and may reduce triplex ring. Note: Always keep weather and turf conditions in mind and be sure to change the direction of mowing from the previous cutting. 2.
Inspecting and Cleaning after Mowing After Operation After Operation Safety 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. General Safety • Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all movement to stop before you leave the operator’s position.
Hauling the Machine Towing the Machine • Use care when loading or unloading the machine In case of an emergency, you can tow the machine for up to 0.4 km (1/4 mile). into a trailer or a truck. • Use a full-width ramp for loading the machine into 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. a trailer or a truck.
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.

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 40). 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.
