Preparation Safety • While mowing, always wear substantial footwear This machine has been designed in accordance with ANSI B71.4-2012. • Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply with these safety instructions and always pay attention to the safety alert symbol, which means Caution, Warning, or Danger—personal safety instruction. Failure to comply with the instruction may result in personal injury or death.
Rollover Protection System (ROPS)/Cab—Use and Maintenance • Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all blade attachment clutches and shift into neutral. • Remember there is no such thing as a safe slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To guard against overturning: • The ROPS/Cab is an integral and effective safety device. Use the seat belt when operating the machine.
• Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises should be directed down and outward from the machine that change the operating angle, as rough terrain could overturn the machine. Toro Riding Mower Safety • Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill because The following list contains safety information specific to Toro products or other safety information that you must know that is not included in the CEN standard. • Be aware that loss of traction may occur going the machine may tip backwards.

Switching from 4 wheel steering to 2 wheel steering Operating the Mower Press the steering selector switch (Figure 13) to the forward position. If the wheels are not aligned in the forward position, the green light will flash and the machine will remain in 4 wheel steering until the four tires are directed straight ahead. The operator should turn the steering wheel slowly to straighten out the wheels until the green light ceases to flash and remains ON.
Test the safety interlock system before you use the machine each time. If the safety system does not operate as described below, have an Authorized Service Dealer repair the safety system immediately. 1. Sitting on the seat, engage the parking brake and move the PTO to on. Try starting the engine; the engine should not crank. 2. Sitting on the seat, engage the parking brake and move the PTO to off. Engage the traction pedal. Try starting the engine; the engine should not crank.
To adjust it, turn the knob, under the right-side arm rest, in either direction to provide the best comfort (Figure 16). Changing the Lumbar Support The back of the seat can be adjusted to provide a customized lumbar support for your lower back.

Changing the Armrest Angle driver’s weight and the seat must be checked and adjusted before the machine is operated. The angle of the armrests can be adjusted for operator comfort. Note: To avoid compressor damage during weight adjustment, the compressor must be operated no longer than 1 minute. To adjust the angle of the armrests, turn the adjustment knob (Figure 18).
Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is part of the exhaust system. The diesel-oxidation catalyst of the DPF reduces harmful gasses and the soot filter removes soot from the engine exhaust. The DPF regeneration process uses heat from the engine exhaust to incinerate the soot accumulated on the soot filter, converting the soot to ash, and clears the channels of the soot filter so that filtered engine exhaust flows out the DPF.
DPF Soot Accumulation • DPF regeneration is a process that heats the DPF to convert the soot to ash. • Over time, the DPF accumulates soot in the soot • In addition to the warning messages, the computer filter. The computer for the engine monitors the soot level in the DPF. reduces the power produced by the engine at different soot-accumulation levels. • When enough soot accumulates, the computer informs you that it is time to regenerate the diesel particulate filter.
DPF Ash Accumulation • When enough ash accumulates, the engine • The lighter ash is discharged through the exhaust system; the heavier ash collects in the soot filter. • Ash is a residue of the regeneration process. Over • time, the diesel particulate filter accumulates ash that does not discharge with the engine exhaust. • • The computer for the engine calculates the amount of ash accumulated in the DPF.
Types of Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Types of diesel particulate filter regeneration that are performed while the machine is operating: Type of Regeneration Conditions for DPF regeneration DPF description of operation Passive Occurs during normal operation of the machine at high-engine speed or high-engine load The InfoCenter does not display an icon indicating passive regeneration.
Types of diesel particulate filter regeneration that require you to park the machine: (cont'd.) Type of Regeneration Conditions for DPF regeneration DPF description of operation Recovery Occurs as a result of ignoring parked regeneration requests and continuing operation, adding more soot when the DPF is already in need of a parked regeneration When the recovery-regeneration icon is displayed in the InfoCenter, a recovery regeneration is requested.

Press the left button to exit to the home screen (Figure 41). g213424 Figure 39 • If the regeneration process is not allowed by the engine computer, the “DPF Regen Not Allowed” message displays in the InfoCenter (Figure 40).
• Perform a recovery-regeneration whenever there is a loss of engine power and a parked regeneration cannot effectively clean the DPF of soot. • A recovery regeneration requires up to 4 hours to complete. • You need a distributor technician to perform the recovery regeneration process; contact your Authorized Toro Distributor. Pushing the Machine by Hand If the machine stalls, runs out of fuel, etc. you may need to push it. To do so, you first need to open both of the hydraulic by-pass valves.
Transporting Machines WARNING Loading a unit onto a trailer or truck increases the possibility of backward tip-over and could cause serious injury or death. WARNING Driving on the street or roadway without turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead to accidents causing personal injury. • Use extreme caution when operating a unit on a ramp. • Use only a single, full width ramp; Do not use individual ramps for each side of the unit.
Operating Tips Fast Throttle Setting/Ground Speed To maintain enough power for the machine and deck while mowing, operate the engine at the fast throttle position and adjust your ground speed for conditions. A good rule to follow is: decrease ground speed as the load on the cutting blades increases; and increase ground speed as load on the blades decreases. Mowing Direction Alternate mowing direction to avoid making ruts in the turf over time.
To reduce the risk of fire hazard, keep the engine, muffler, battery compartment, parking brake, cutting units, and fuel storage compartment free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Clean up any spilled oil or fuel. Blade Maintenance Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season because a sharp blade cuts cleanly without tearing or shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which slows growth and increases the chance of disease.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 10 hours • Check the alternator belt tension. • Torque wheel lug nuts. After the first 200 hours • Change the hydraulic oil and filter. Before each use or daily • • • • • Test the safety system. Check the engine-oil level. Check the engine coolant level.
