Product Overview Controls Become familiar with all the controls before you start the engine and operate the machine. Traction Pedal The traction pedal (Figure 6) controls the forward and reverse operation. Press the top of the pedal to move forward and the bottom to move rearward. Ground speed depends on how far you press the pedal. For no load, maximum ground speed, fully press the pedal while the throttle is in the Fast position. Figure 5 1.
Parking Brake Throttle Lever To engage the parking brake, push down on the brake pedal and press the top forward to latch (Figure 6). To release the parking brake, press the brake pedal until the parking brake latch retracts without contacting the locking mechanism. The throttle lever (Figure 7) controls the speed of the engine. Moving the throttle lever forward toward the Fast position increases the engine speed. Moving it rearward toward the Slow position decreases the engine speed.
Oil Pressure Warning Light Attachments/Accessories The oil pressure warning light (Figure 7) glows when the oil pressure in engine drops below a safe level. If low oil pressure ever occurs, stop the engine immediately and determine the cause. Repair the damage before starting the engine again. 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.
Operation • Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. • • CAUTION • This machine produces sound levels in excess of 80 dBA at the operators ear and can cause hearing loss through extended periods of exposure. weather. Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as they may be degraded over time. Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time after converting to biodiesel blended.
2. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake. WARNING 3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the cap (Figure 9). To avoid injury or death from rollover: keep the roll bar in the raised locked position and use the seat belt. Ensure that the seat plate is secured with the seat latch. WARNING There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is in the down position. • Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary. • Do not wear the seat belt when the roll bar is in the down position.
Important: Ensure that the seat is secured with the seat latch. 4. To raise the roll bar, remove the hairpin cotter pins and remove the two pins (Figure 10). 5. Raise the roll bar to the upright position and install the two pins and secure them with the hairpin cotter pins (Figure 10). 2. Make sure the traction pedal is in the neutral position. 3. Set the parking brake. 4. Move the PTO (power take off) switch to the off position (Figure 11).
Steering Selection (4 wheel drive models only) Note: Additional starting cycles may be required when starting the engine for the first time after the fuel system has been completely drained. 8. Leave the throttle midway between the Slow and Fast positions until the engine and hydraulic system warm up. For maximum trimming and minimum turf damage the machine should always be operated in 4 wheel steering.
Stopping the Machine remove the height of cut stop pin (refer to Adjusting the Height-of-Cut), and place the pin in the 15 cm (6 inch) height-of-cut position (Figure 16). To stop the machine, release the traction pedal to the neutral position. Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO) Set the parking brake whenever you leave the machine. Remember to remove the key from the ignition switch. The power take off (PTO) switch starts and stops the mower blades and some powered attachments. CAUTION 1.
The Safety Interlock System Adjusting the Height-of-Cut The height-of-cut is adjusted from 2.5 to 15.8 cm (1 to 6 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments by relocating the stop pin into different hole locations. CAUTION 2. To adjust, rotate the stop pin until the nub on it lines up with the slots in the holes in the height-of-cut bracket and remove it (Figure 16). If the safety interlock switches are disconnected or damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly causing personal injury.
Check the electrical connections, input fuses, and diagnostic light bulb to determine the malfunction. Ensure that the loop-back connector is secured to the wire harness connector. 5. Without an operator on the seat, disengage the parking brake, move the PTO switch to off, and allow the traction pedal to return to the neutral position. Try starting the engine; the engine should not crank.
The Diagnostic ACE will illuminate the LED associated with each of the inputs when that input switch is closed. 7. Individually, change each of the switches from open to closed (i.e., sit on seat, engage traction pedal, etc.), and note that the appropriate LED on Diagnostic ACE will blink on and off when corresponding switch is closed. Repeat this for all switches that you can change by hand. 8.
Changing the Seat Suspension If the output LEDs are on as specified, but the machine does not function properly, this indicates a non-electrical problem. Repair as necessary. The seat can be adjusted to provide a smooth and comfortable ride. Position the seat where you are most comfortable. Note: If each output switch is in the correct position and functioning correctly, but the output LEDs are not correctly illuminated, this indicates an ECM problem.
Positioning the Deluxe Seat 3. Verify that the seat has locked into place by attempting to move it back and forth. Note: Do not operate the locking lever while operating the machine. Changing the Lumbar Support The lumbar support increases both the seating comfort and the performance of the driver. The back of the seat can be adjusted to provide a customized lumbar support for your lower back. By turning the adjustment knob upwards, the curvature in the upper part of the backrest cushion can be adjusted.
Pushing the Machine by Hand By exerting pressure on or off the front or rear of the seat it can be moved to the desired position. Release the locking lever to lock the backrest. 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. Note: The backrest should not be able to move the into another position after it has been locked.
Loading Machines Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or trucks. One full width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is recommended instead of individual ramps for each side of the unit (Figure 26). The lower rear section of the tractor frame extends back between the rear wheels and serves as a stop for tipping backward. Having a full width ramp provides a surface for the frame members to contact if the unit starts to tip backward.
