Controls Become familiar with all of the controls in Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5 before you start the engine and operate the machine. Throttle Control The throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving throttle lever forward will increase engine speed and moving throttle lever to the rear will decrease engine speed. Moving the throttle forward into the detent is full throttle (Figure 5).
Operation Note: The left and right sides of the machine are determined while sitting in the seat in the normal operating position. Recommended Gasoline Use UNLEADED Regular Gasoline suitable for automotive use (87 pump octane minimum). Think Safety First Important: Never use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, or gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark which can ignite the gasoline vapors. Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. • • • • • Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
space in the neck of the tank allows gasoline to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. 3. Move the throttle lever to midway and the choke lever forward before starting a cold engine (Figure 9). 4. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled. Note: A warm or hot engine may not require choking. Figure 9 Figure 7 1. Control panel 2. Throttle – fast 3. Throttle – slow 1. Gas tank opening 2. Fill to here, approximately 3. Gas tank body 4.

Push the foot lever forward, pull the transport release handle up and let the deck lower down to the predetermined cut height by slowly decreasing foot pressure allowing the foot lever to travel rearward.
3. Repeat the adjustment for the opposite control lever. Adjusting the Tilt The motion control levers can be tilted fore or aft for maximum operator comfort. 1. Loosen the upper bolt holding the control lever to the control arm shaft. 2. Loosen the lower bolt just enough to pivot the control lever fore or aft (Figure 17). Tighten both bolts to secure the control in the new position. 3. Repeat the adjustment for the opposite control lever.
cut the lawn twice to ensure an acceptable quality of cut. Side Discharge The mower has a hinged discharge deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf. Cut 1/3 of the Grass Blade It is best to cut only about 1/3 of the grass blade. Cutting more than that is not recommended unless grass is sparse, or it is late fall when grass grows more slowly.
the chance of disease. Check the cutter blades daily for sharpness, and for any wear or damage. File down any nicks and sharpen the blades as necessary. If a blade is damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement blade. Only Toro blades are to be used with this unit. No other blades are approved. Keep the Underside of the Mower Clean Clean clippings and dirt from the underside of the mower after each use.
Maintenance Note: The left and right sides of the machine are determined while sitting in the seat in the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Before each use or daily Every 25 hours Every 50 hours Maintenance Procedure • • Check the safety interlock system Check the air cleaner for dirty, loose or damaged. Check the engine oil level. Check air intake and cooling areas, clean as necessary. Check the cutting blades. Clean the mower housing.
2. Move the motion control levers outward to the neutral position, engage parking brake, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. Premaintenance Procedures Raising the Seat 3. Clean the grease fittings (Figure 20 and Figure 21) with a rag. Make sure to scrape any paint off of the front of the fitting(s). Make sure the motion control levers are locked in the neutral position. Lift the seat forward until the lanyard is tight.
2. Remove the air cleaner element with the integral rubber seal (Figure 22). 4. Connect a grease gun to each fitting (Figure 20 and Figure 21). Pump grease into the fittings until grease begins to ooze out of the bearings. Servicing the Air Cleaner 3. Gently tap the pleated side of the paper element to dislodge dirt. Do not wash the paper element or use pressurized air, as this will damage the element. Replace a dirty, bent, or damaged element.
SAE 30 40°F and higher (5°C and higher) is good for all purpose use above 40°F. Use below 40° will cause hard starting. 5. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. (Figure 24). The oil level should be up to, but not over, the F mark on the dipstick. 10W-30 0 to 100°F (-18 to 38°C) is better for varying temperature conditions. This viscosity improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil consumption above 80°F (27°C). 6.

Fuel System Maintenance Replacing the Fuel Filter In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. • Perform any fuel related maintenance when the engine is cold. Do this outdoors in an open area. Wipe up any gasoline that spills. Figure 31 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. • Never smoke when draining gasoline, and stay away from an open flame or where a spark may ignite the gasoline fumes.
Electrical System Maintenance Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. CALIFORNIA Proposition 65 Warning Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
Note: Do not run the machine with the NOTE: To prevent damage due to freezing, battery should be fully charged before putting away for winter storage. battery disconnected, electrical damage may occur. 3. Check the voltage of the battery with a digital voltmeter. Locate the voltage reading of the battery in the table below and charge the battery for the recommended time interval to bring the charge up to a full charge of 12.6 volts or greater. Installing the Battery 1.
Mower Maintenance Servicing the Cutting Blades Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting season because sharp blades cut 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. Check the cutter blades daily for sharpness, and for any wear or damage. File down any nicks and sharpen the blades as necessary. If a blade is damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement blade.
A blade that is bent or damaged could break apart and could seriously injure or kill you or bystanders. Figure 36 1. Cutting edge 2. Curved area 3. Wear/slot forming • Always replace bent or damaged blade with a new blade. • Never file or create sharp notches in the edges or surfaces of blade. Checking for Loose Blades or Damaged Spring Disk Washers 1. Place a wrench on the blade bolt and torque to 45-55ft lbs (61-75 N-m). Checking for Bent Blades 2.
Installing the Blades 1. Install the blade onto the spindle shaft (Figure 38). Important: The curved part of the blade must be pointing upward toward the inside of the mower to ensure proper cutting. 2. Hold the blade end using a rag or thicklypadded glove (or place a wrench on the top sheave nut). Install the bushing, two spring disk washers (cupped side toward the blade) and blade bolt (Figure 38). + 3. Torque the blade bolt to 45-55 ft-lbs (61-75 N-m). Figure 38 1. Blade 3. Bushing 5. Blade bolt 2.
11. Recheck that blocks fit just snugly under the deck skirt. Make sure all attachment bolts are tight. 5. Measure between the outside cutting edges and the flat surface (Figure 41). If both measurements are not within 3/16 inch (5mm), an adjustment is required; continue with this procedure. 12. Continue leveling the deck by checking the front-to-rear blade slope; refer to Adjusting the Front-to-Rear Blade Slope. 6. Check the front-to-rear blade level any time you install the mower.
6. Set the height-of-cut lever to the 3 inch (76 mm) position. Place two 2 1/2” (6.35 cm) thick blocks under the rear edge of the cutting deck skirt; one on each side of the cutting deck. Place two 2 5/16” (5.89 cm) blocks under each side of the front edge of the deck, but not under the anti-scalp roller brackets. 7. Loosen the leveling adjust locking nuts (item 3) on all four corners so that the deck is sitting securely on all four blocks.
4. Remove the belt covers over the outside spindles. 5. Remove the nut, bolt, and pivot bushing from the deck strut (Figure 45). Carefully lower the front of the mower deck to the ground (Figure 46). 5. Pull the idler pulley in the direction shown in Figure 45 and roll the belt off of the pulleys. The spring is under tension when installed and can cause personal injury. Be careful when removing the belt. Figure 46 1. Deck lift arm 2. Deck strut 6.
