Starting the Engine CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended. Note: A warm or hot engine may not require choking. Important: Do not engage the starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. Engaging the starter motor for more than 5 seconds can damage the starter motor. If the engine fails to start, wait 10 seconds before operating the engine starter again.
Driving the Machine The drive wheels turn independently, powered by hydraulic motors on each axle. You can turn 1 side in reverse while you turn the other forward, causing the machine to spin rather than turn. This greatly improves the machine maneuverability but may require some time for you to adapt to how it moves. The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place the throttle control in the FAST position for best performance.
Using the Smart SpeedTM Control System Tow The Smart Speed TM Control-System lever, located to the right of the operating position (Figure 26), gives you a choice to drive the machine at 3 ground speed ranges—trim, tow, and mow. • Bagging This is the medium speed. The suggested uses for this speed are as follows: • Mulching Mow This is the fastest speed.
Adjusting the Height of Cut The machine is equipped with a foot pedal deck-lift system. You can use the foot pedal to lift the deck briefly to avoid obstacles or lock the deck in the highest height of cut or transport position. You can use the height-of-cut lever with the foot pedal to lock the deck in a specific cutting height. 3. Select a hole in the height-of-cut system corresponding to the desired height of cut and insert the pin (Figure 28). 4.
Adjusting the Anti-Scalp Rollers Using Attachments and Accessories Whenever you change the height of cut, adjust the height of the anti-scalp rollers. Use only Toro approved attachments and accessories. If you attach a bucket to the engine guard, use a strap to secure it. Note: Adjust the anti-scalp rollers so that the rollers do not touch the ground in normal, flat mowing areas. 1.
Operating Tips drop onto your lawn. To avoid this, move onto a previously cut area with the blades engaged or you can disengage the mower deck while moving forward. Using the Fast Throttle Setting For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate the engine at the FAST position. Air is required to thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the height-of-cut so low as to totally surround the mower deck in uncut grass.
After Operation After Operation Safety General Safety • Clean grass and debris from the cutting units, mufflers, and engine compartment to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills. • Shut off the fuel before storing or transporting the machine. • Disengage the drive to the attachment whenever you are transporting or not using the machine. • Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine in any enclosure.
Transporting the Machine Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine. Use a full-width ramp. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all the necessary brakes, lighting, and marking as required by law. Please carefully read all the safety instructions. Knowing this information could help you or bystanders avoid injury. Refer to your local ordinances for trailer and tie-down requirements.
1. If using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle and connect the safety chains. 2. If applicable, connect the trailer brakes and lights. 3. Lower the ramp, ensuring that the angle between the ramp and the ground does not exceed 15 degrees (Figure 31). 4. Back the machine up the ramp (Figure 32). g027995 Figure 32 1.
