Cutting Unit Power Disconnect Connectors Attachments/Accessories A selection of Toro approved attachments and accessories is available for use with the machine to enhance and expand its capabilities. Contact your Authorized Service Dealer or Distributor or go to www.Toro.com for a list of all approved attachments and accessories.
Operation Important: Make sure that the dipstick is removed while filling the engine with oil. When adding engine oil or filling oil, there must be clearance between the oil fill device and the oil fill hole in the valve cover as shown in Figure 27. This clearance is necessary to permit venting when filling, which prevents oil from overrunning into breather. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
Important: Check the level of oil every 8 petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra low sulfur. Observe the following precautions: operating hours or daily. Change the oil and filter initially after the first 50 hours of operation, thereafter change the oil and the filter every 150 hours. However, change the oil more frequently when the engine is operated in extremely dusty or dirty conditions. 5. • The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
DANGER In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property. • Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills. • Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 25 mm (1 inch) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows fuel to expand.
g008427 Figure 31 1. Reserve tank g014613 Figure 30 1. Wing bolts 3. Reserve tank 2. Radiator screen 4. Radiator fill cap The cooling system is filled 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. • Do not open the radiator cap when the engine is running. • Use a rag when opening the radiator cap, and open the cap slowly to allow steam to escape. 2.

Draining Water from the Fuel Filter Checking the Reel-to-Bedknife Contact Service Interval: Before each use or daily 1. Position the machine on a level surface and stop the engine. 2. Place a drain pan under the fuel filter. 3. Open the drain plug on the fuel filter approximately one turn and drain any accumulated water (Figure 34). Tighten the plug after draining. Each day before operating the machine, check the reel-to-bedknife contact, regardless if the quality of cut had previously been acceptable.
Starting and Stopping the Machine Checking the Safety Interlock System Note: Inspect the areas beneath the mowers to be CAUTION certain they are clear of debris. If the safety interlock switches are disconnected or damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly causing personal injury. Starting the Machine Important: Do not use ether or other types of starting fluid. • Do not tamper with the interlock switches.

Installing and Removing the Cutting Units 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. Release the parking brake, move the functional control lever to mow, and rise from the seat.

cutting from the previous mowing. Always keep weather and turf conditions in mind and be sure to change the direction of mowing from the previous cutting. Replace the flag. as part of the sight line; i.e. keep the steering wheel edge aligned with a point that is always kept the same distance away from the front of the machine (Figure 41). At the end of the periphery cut, momentarily pull back on the raise/lower mow lever to shut the reels off without raising them.
Towing the Machine In case of an emergency the machine can be towed for a short distance (less than 0.4 km (1/4 mile)). However, Toro does not recommend this as standard procedure. Important: Do not tow the machine faster than 3-5 km/h (2-3 mph) 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 42). g014627 Figure 42 1.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. CAUTION If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously injure you or other bystanders. Remove the key from the ignition. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval After the first hour Maintenance Procedure • Check the torque of the wheel nuts. After the first 8 hours • Check the torque of the wheel nuts.
Daily Maintenance Checklist Duplicate this page for routine use. Maintenance Check Item For the week of: Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. Sat. Check the safety interlock operation.

Drive System Maintenance Adjusting the Transport Speed Adjusting the Transmission for Neutral 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. If the machine creeps when the traction control pedal is in the neutral position, the neutral return mechanism must be adjusted. 1.
Adjusting the Mowing Speed Cooling System Maintenance The machine is adjusted at the factory, but speed may be varied if desired. 1. Loosen the jam nut on the trunnion bolt (Figure 53). 2. Loosen the nut securing the lock and mow brackets on the pedal pivot. Cleaning the Radiator Screen To prevent the system from overheating, the radiator screen and radiator must be kept clean. Check and clean the screen and radiator daily or, if necessary, hourly.
Brake Maintenance Belt Maintenance Adjusting the Brakes Adjusting the Alternator Belt If the brake fails to hold the machine while parked, you can adjust the brakes using the bulkhead fitting near the brake drum; contact your Authorized Service Distributor or refer to the Service Manual for more information. Service Interval: After the first 8 hours Make sure the belt is properly tensioned to ensure proper operation of the machine and prevent unnecessary wear. 1.
Hydraulic System Maintenance Stop the machine, recheck the fluid level and replenish as required. 6. Dispose of the oil and filter properly. Checking the Hydraulic Lines and Hoses Changing the Hydraulic Oil and Filter Service Interval: After the first 50 hours WARNING Every 800 hours Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury. If the oil becomes contaminated, contact your local Toro distributor because the system must be flushed.
Cutting Unit Maintenance 10. If the reels stall or become erratic while backlapping, select a higher reel speed setting until the speed stabilizes. Backlapping the Reels 11. To make an adjustment to the cutting units while backlapping, turn the reels off by moving the Raise/Lower Mow control rearward and stop the engine. After completing adjustments, repeat steps 4 through 9. 12. Repeat the procedure for all cutting units you want to backlap. 13.
Storage If you wish to store the machine for a long period of time, the following steps should be performed prior to storage: 1. Remove accumulations of dirt and old grass clippings. Sharpen the reels and bedknives, if necessary; refer to the Cutting Unit Operator's Manual. Use a rust preventive on bedknives and reel blades. Grease and oil all lubrication points; refer to Lubrication (page 40). 2. Block up the wheels to remove any weight on the tires. 3.
