TABLE OF CONTENTS

Training
1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the equipment.
2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the lawn mower. Local
regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
3. Never mow while people, especially children, or
pets are nearby.
4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to
other people or their property.
5. Do not carry passengers.
6. All drivers should seek and obtain professional and
practical instruction. Such instruction should
emphasize:
• the need for care and concentration when
working with ride-on machines;
• control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope
will not be regained by the application of the
brake. The main reasons for loss of control are:
– insufficient wheel grip;
– being driven too fast;
– inadequate braking;
– the type of machine is unsuitable for its
task;
– lack of awareness of the effects of ground
conditions, especially slopes;
– ##incorrect hitching and load distribution.
Preparation
1. While mowing, always wear substantial footwear
and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment
when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is
to be used and remove all objects which may be
thrown by the machine.
3. WARNING—Petrol is highly flammable.
• Store fuel in containers specifically designed
for this purpose.
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while
refueling.
• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol
while the engine is running or when the engine
is hot.
• If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the
are of spillage and avoid creating any source of
ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated.
• Replace all fuel tanks and container caps
securely.
4. Replace faulty silencers.
Operation
1. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
3. Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all
blade attachment clutches and shift into neutral.
4. Do not use on slopes of more than:
• Never mow side hills over 5°
• Never mow uphill over 10°
• Never mow downhill over 15°
5. Remember there is no such thing as a “safe” slope.
Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To
guard against overturning:
• do not stop or start suddenly when going up or
downhill;
• engage the clutch slowly, and always keep the
machine in gear, especially when travailing
downhill;
• machine speeds should be kept low on slopes
and during tight turns;
3
Safety Instructions

• stay alert for bumps and hollows and other
hidden hazards;
• never mow across the face of the slope, unless
the lawn mower is designed for this purpose.
6. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment.
• Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
• Limit loads to those you can safely control.
• Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.
• Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when
suggested in the instruction handbook.
7. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near
roadways.
8. Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces
other than grass.
9. When using any attachments, never direct discharge
of material toward bystanders nor allow anyone
near the machine while in operation .
10. Never operate the lawn mower with defective
guards, shields or without safety protective devices
in place.
11. Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at
excessive speeds may increase the hazard of
personal injury.
12. Before leaving the operator’s position:
• disengage the power take-off and lower the
attachments;
• change into neutral and set the parking brake;
• stop the engine and remove the key.
13. Disengage the drive to attachments when
transporting or not in use.
14. Stop the engine and disengage the drive to the
attachment
• before refueling;
• before removing the grass catcher;
• before making height adjustments unless the
adjustment can be made from the operator’s
position.
• before clearing blockages;
• before checking, cleaning or working on the
lawn mower;
• after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawn
mower for damage and make repairs before
restarting and operating the equipment.
15. Reduce the throttle setting during engine runout
and, if the engine is provided with a shutoff valve,
turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
2. Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark.
3. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
4. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and petrol storage area free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
5. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
6. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
7. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be
done outdoors.
8. Be careful during adjustment of the machine to
prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving
blades and fixed parts of the machine.
9. On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
10. When the machine is to be parked, stored or left
unattended, lower the cutting means unless a
positive mechanical lock is used.

4. Pour the oil into opening in the valve cover until the
oil level is up to the ”FULL’” mark on the dipstick.
Add the oil slowly and check the level often during
this process. DO NOT OVERFILL.
IMPORTANT Check the oil level every 8
operating hours or daily. Initially, change the oil
after the first 8 hours of operation; thereafter,
under normal conditions, change the oil every 50
hours and filter every 100 hours. However,
change it more often when operating the engine
in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
5. Install the filler cap and the dipstick.
CHECK THE COOLING SYSTEM
(Fig. 2)
Clean debris from the hood screens, engine and radiator
daily—more often if conditions are extremely dusty and

engaged, the engine should stop. Correct the
problem if the system is not operating properly.
2. With the operator in the seat, the parking brake
engaged and the engine running, depress the
traction pedal either forward or reverse. The engine
should stop. Correct the problem if the system is not
operating properly.
3. With the operator in the seat, the parking brake
engaged and engine running, lower the cutting units
to the ground. Engage the PTO switch, the electric
clutch on the engine should engage. Raise the
cutting units, the PTO switch should disengage.
Correct the problem if the system is not operating
properly.
IMPLEMENT LIFT LEVER
Operation
18
Do not disconnect the safety switches because they are
for the operator’s protection. Check switch operation
daily to be sure the system is operating correctly. If a
switch is not operating correctly, replace it before
operating the machine. Replace the switches every two
years to be sure of maximum safety.
CAUTION

Raising Attachments
Pull the implement lift lever rearward to raise an
attachment to the desired height.
Lowering Attachments
Push the implement lift lever forward to lower the
attachment.
NOTE: Hold the lift lever in the down position 1–2
seconds after the cutting unit touches the ground to
retract the lift cylinder completely, allowing the cutting
unit suspension to achieve proper position and to float
with changes in ground contour. Return the lever to the
neutral position to mow.
Refer to the attachment operator’s manual for proper lift
system operation.
PUSHING OR TOWING THE
MACHINE
In an emergency, the traction unit can be pushed or
towed for a very short distance. TORO does not
recommend this as standard procedure.
IMPORTANT: Do not push or tow the traction unit
faster than 3 to 5 kmh because the transmission may
be damaged. If the traction unit must be moved a
considerable distance, transport it on a truck or
trailer.
1. To push or tow forward, the traction pedal must be
fully depressed forward.
2. To push or tow in reverse, the traction pedal must
be fully depressed in reverse.
TRAINING PERIOD
Before mowing with the Grounds Pro 2000-D, The
TORO Company suggests you find a clear area and
practice starting and stopping, raising and lowering the
cutting units, turning, etc. This training period will be
beneficial in gaining confidence in the performance of
the Grounds Pro 2000-D.
BEFORE MOWING
Inspect the area for debris and clear the area. Determine
the direction in which the area was last mowed. (Always
mow in an alternate pattern from the previous mowing,
so that the grass blades will be less apt to lay down and
therefore be difficult to gather between the reel blades
and bedknife.)
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
Practice operating the Grounds Pro 2000-D and become
thoroughly familiar with it. Because of its hydrostatic
transmission, its characteristics differ from many turf
maintenance machines. Issues to consider when
operating are the traction drive, engine speed and the
load on the cutting units. Regulate the traction pedal to
keep engine rpm high and somewhat constant while
mowing to maintain adequate power for the traction and
cutting units.
Follow operating guidelines presented in this manual and
know how to operate the machine safely on all types of
terrain. Use the slope gauge, page 34, to determine slope
angles of questionable areas. Hills (or slopes) over 15
degrees should be traversed or mowed up and down, not
side to side and hills over 20 degrees should generally be
avoided unless special safeguards, skills and conditions
exist.
Always plan well ahead to avoid the need for sudden
stops, starts or turns. To stop, use the reverse pedal for
braking. Before stopping the engine, disengage all
controls, move the throttle to IDLE, and set the parking
brake.
CAUTION: This product may exceed noise levels of 85
dB(A) at the operator position. Ear protectors are
recommended for prolonged exposure to reduce the
potential of permanent hearing damage.
TRANSPORT OPERATION
Be sure the lift arms are fully raised and the transport
bracket is installed and secured with the retainer (Fig.
17). Also, lock the rear cutting unit in the raised position
(Fig. 18).
Operation
19

While operating on slopes and uneven terrain, always
reduce speed and use extreme caution before turning to
reduce risk of tipping or losing control. Watch carefully
and avoid holes in the terrain, sudden drop-offs and other
hazards. To prevent costly damage and down time,
familiarize yourself with the width of the Grounds Pro
2000-D. Do not attempt to pass between immovable
objects placed close together.

INSPECTION AND CLEAN-UP
AFTER MOWING
After mowing, thoroughly wash the machine with a
garden hose—without a nozzle—so excessive water
pressure will not cause contamination and damage seals
and bearings.
Note: Do not spray water directly onto a hot engine or
hot bearings.
Make sure the cooling fins and the area around the
engine air intake are kept free of dirt or grass clippings.
After cleaning, inspect the machine for possible
hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and
mechanical components. Check the cutting units for
sharpness and correct reel-to-bedknife adjustment.
CUTTING UNIT
CHARACTERISTICS
The single-knob bedknife adjustment system simplifies
the procedure for delivering optimum mowing
performance. The precise adjustment possible gives the
control to provide a continual self-sharpening action—
thus maintaining sharp cutting edges, good quality of
cut, and greatly reduced need for routine backlapping.
Also, the rear roller positioning system permits optimum
bedknife attitude and location for varying heights of cut
and turf conditions.
DAILY CUTTING UNIT
ADJUSTMENTS
Before each day’s mowing, or as needed, check each
cutting unit to verify correct bedknife-to-reel contact. Do
this even though quality of cut is acceptable.
1. Shut off the engine and lower the cutting units onto
a hard surface.
2. Slowly turn the reel in the reverse direction,
listening for reel-to-bedknife contact. If no contact
is evident, turn the bedknife adjusting knob
clockwise, one click at a time, until you feel or hear
light contact.
3. If you feel excessive contact, turn the bedknife
adjusting knob counterclockwise, one click at a
time, until no contact is evident. Then turn the knob
one click at a time clockwise, until light contact is
felt and heard.
IMPORTANT: Light contact is preferred at all
times, otherwise bedknife and reel edges will not
self-sharpen. If excessive contact is maintained,
Operation
20

bedknife and reel wear will accelerate. Uneven
wear can result, adversely affecting quality of
cut.
Note: As the reel blades run against the bedknife, a
slight burr will appear on the front cutting edge
surface over the full length of the bedknife.
Occasionally running a file across the front edge to
remove this burr will improve cutting.
After extended running, a ridge will eventually develop
at both ends of the bedknife. These must be rounded off
or filed flush with the cutting edge of bedknife to assure
smooth operation.

LUBRICATION
GREASING BEARINGS AND BUSHINGS
The traction unit and cutting unit’s grease fittings must
be lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose
Lithium Base Grease. If the machine is operated under
normal conditions, lubricate bearings and bushings after
every 25 hours of operation. Bearings and bushings must
be lubricated daily when operating conditions are
extremely dusty and dirty. Dusty and dirty operating
conditions could cause dirt to get into the bearings and
bushings, resulting in accelerated wear. Lubricate grease
fittings immediately after every washing, regardless of
the interval listed.
The traction unit bearings and bushings, and the cutting
unit lubrication points that must be lubricated are shown
in the photos and illustrations.

BATTERY CARE
1. Battery electrolyte level must be maintained and the
top of the battery kept clean. If the Grounds Pro
2000-D is stored in a location where temperatures
are extremely high, the battery will run down more
rapidly than if is stored in a cooler location.
2. Check the electrolyte level every 25 operating hours
or, if the machine is in storage, every 30 days.
3. Maintain cell level with distilled or demineralized
water. Do not fill cells above the bottom of the split
ring inside each cell.
4. Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it
periodically with a brush dipped in ammonia or
bicarbonate of soda solution. Flush the top surface
with water after cleaning. Do not remove the fill
caps while cleaning.
5. Battery cables must be tight on terminals to provide
good electrical contact.
6. If corrosion occurs at terminals, disconnect the
cables—negative (–) cable first—and scrape the
clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect the
cables—positive (+) cable first—and coat the
terminals with petroleum jelly.
WIRE HARNESS SERVICE
Prevent corrosion of wiring terminals by applying Grafo
11 2X (Skin-over) grease, Toro Part No. 505-47, to the
inside of all harness connectors whenever the harness is
replaced.
Whenever working with the electrical system, always
disconnect the battery cables, negative (–) cable first to
prevent possible wiring damage from electrical shorts.
Before welding on the machine, disconnect ground cable
from the battery to prevent damage to the electrical
system.
FUSES (Fig. 45)
There are two fuses (50 amp and 10 amp) in the
machine’s electrical system. They are located under the
hood against the back side of the seat panel.
