Side Discharge The mower has a hinged discharge deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf. Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases the possibility of backward tip-over. Backward tip-over could cause serious injury or death. • Use extreme caution when operating a unit on a ramp. Without the discharge deflector, mulch kit, or entire grass collection system mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris.
Avoid Cutting Too Low Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a ramp and sudden deceleration when backing down a ramp. Both maneuvers can cause the unit to tip backward. If the cutting width of the mower is wider than the mower you previously used, raise the cutting height to ensure that uneven turf is not cut too short.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 5 hours • Change the engine oil. After the first 200 hours • Change the hydraulic system filter. Before each use or daily • • • • • • Check the safety interlock system. Check the air cleaner for dirty, loose or damaged parts. Check the oil level before starting or after every 8 hours. Check the hydraulic oil level in the expansion tank. Check the mower blades.

Drive System Maintenance Hydraulic System Maintenance Checking the Tire Pressure Checking the Hydraulic Oil Level Service Interval: Every 25 hours/Monthly (whichever comes first) Service Interval: Before each use or daily Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires as specified. Uneven tire pressure can cause uneven cut. Check the pressure at the valve stem (Figure 35).
Mower Maintenance Turn the filters clockwise until rubber seal contacts the filter adapter then tighten the filter an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn. Servicing the Cutting Blades 5. Remove the vent plug on each transmission and fill through expansion reservoir, when oil comes out of vent reinstall plug. Torque plugs to 180 in-lb (244 N-m). Continue to add oil until it reaches the FULL COLD line on the expansion reservoir.
Checking for Loose Blades or Damaged Spring Disc Washers 1. Place a wrench on the blade bolt and torque to 45-55 ft lb (61-75 N-m). 2. With the wrench still on the blade bolt, hold the blade spindle stationary and using a rag or thickly padded glove, try to rotate the blade. If the blade rotates relative to the spindle guard without further tightening the blade bolt, the spring disc washer has been flattened or damaged and the bolt and washer assembly must be replaced (Figure 40).
2. Hold the blade end using a rag or thickly-padded glove (or place a wrench on the top sheave nut). Install the washer and blade bolt and washer assembly. 3. Torque the blade bolt to 45-55 ft-lb (61-75 N-m). Incorrect installation of the blade or components used to retain the blade cause the blade to come loose and could seriously injure or kill you or bystanders. Figure 40 1. Blade 2. Washer 3. Bolt and washer assembly Always install the original Toro blades, washers and blade bolts as shown.
1/16-5/16 inch (1.6-7.9 mm) lower than the rear blade tip, adjust the blade level using the following instructions: 6. Check the front-to-rear blade level any time you install the mower. If the front blade tip is not 1/16-5/16 inch (1.6-7.9 mm) lower than the rear blade tip, adjust the blade level. If measurements from steps or are out of range, then follow the Adjusting the Blade Slope section. 2. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the blade control switch. 3.
