This manual identifies potential hazards and has special safety messages that help you and others avoid personal injury and even death. Danger, Warning, and Caution are signal words used to identify the level of hazard. However, regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful.

Danger signals an extreme hazard that will cause serious injury or death if you do not follow the recommended precautions.

Warning signals a hazard that may cause serious injury or death if you do not follow the recommended precautions.

Caution signals a hazard that may cause minor or moderate injury if you do not follow the recommended precautions.

This manual uses two other words to highlight information.

Important calls attention to special mechanical

information and Note: emphasizes general information worthy of special attention.

attention to the safety alert symbol, which means CAUTION, WARNING, or DANGER—“personal safety instruction.” Failure to comply with the instruction may result in personal injury or death.

Safe Operating Practices

The following instructions are from the CEN standard EN 836:1997, ISO standard 5395:1990, and ANSI B71.4-1999.

Training

• Read the operator’s manual and other training material

carefully. Be familiar with the controls, safety signs, and the proper use of the equipment.

• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these

instructions to use or service the mower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

• Never mow while people, especially children, or pets

are nearby.

• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for

accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

• Do not carry passengers.

• All drivers and mechanics should seek and obtain

professional and practical instruction. The owner is responsible for training the users. 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;

Safety

This machine meets or exceeds CEN standard EN 836:1997, ISO standard 5395:1990, and ANSI B71.4-1999 specifications in effect at the time of production when weights are installed according to chart on page 20.

Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply with these safety instructions and always pay

• inadequate braking;

• the type of machine is unsuitable for its task;

• lack of awareness of the effect of ground

conditions, especially slopes;

• incorrect hitching and load distribution.

• The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for

accidents or injuries occurring to himself or herself, other people, or property.

Page 4

Preparation

• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear, long

trousers, hard hat, safety glasses, and ear protection. Long hair, loose clothing, or jewelry may get tangled in moving parts. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to

be used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine.

• Warning—Fuel is highly flammable. Take the

following precautions: – Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this

purpose.

– Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while

refuelling.

– do not stop or start suddenly when going up or

downhill;

– engage clutch slowly, always keep machine in gear,

especially when travelling downhill;

– machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and

during tight turns;

– stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden

hazards;

– never mow across the face of the slope, unless the

mower is designed for this purpose.

• Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden

hazards.

• Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment.

– Use only approved drawbar hitch points.

– Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove

the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot.

– If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine

but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.

– Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.

• Replace faulty silencers/mufflers.

• Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and

attachments are needed to properly and safely perform the job. Only use accessories and attachments approved by the manufacturer.

• Check that operator’s presence controls, safety switches

and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do not operate unless they are functioning properly.

Operation

• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where

dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

• Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

• Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all

blade attachment clutches, shift into neutral, and engage the parking brake.

• Do not use on slopes of more than –5° when mowing on side hills; –10° when mowing uphill; –15° when mowing downhill.

• Remember there is no such thing as a safe slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To guard against overturning:

– 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 operator’s manual.

• Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.

• Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other

than grass.

• When using any attachments, never direct discharge of

material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the machine while in operation.

• Never operate the machine with damaged guards,

shields, or without safety protective devices in place. Be sure all interlocks are attached, adjusted properly, and functioning properly.

• Do not change the engine governor settings or

overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed may increase the hazard of personal injury.

• Before leaving the operator’s position:

– stop on level ground; – disengage the power take-off and lower the

attachments; – change into neutral and set the parking brake; – stop the engine and remove the key.

• Disengage drive to attachments when transporting or

not in use.

• Stop the engine and disengage drive to attachment

– before refuelling; – before removing the grass catcher/catchers; – before making height adjustment unless adjustment

can be made from the operator’s position.

Page 5

– before clearing blockages; – before checking, cleaning or working on the mower; – after striking a foreign object or if an abnormal

vibration occurs. Inspect the mower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the equipment.

• Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and, if

the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.

• Keep hands and feet away from the cutting units.

• Look behind and down before backing up to be sure of

a clear path.

• Slow down and use caution when making turns and

crossing roads and sidewalks. Stop cylinders/reels if not mowing.

• Do not operate the mower under the influence of

alcohol or drugs

• Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a

trailer or truck

• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees,

or other objects that may obscure vision.

• Disengage drives, lower the cutting units, set parking

brake, stop engine and remove key and disconnect spark plug wire. Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning or repairing.

• Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,

silencers/mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.

• Use jack stands to support components when required.

• Carefully release pressure from components with stored

energy.

• Disconnect battery and remove spark plug wire before

making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and negative last.

• Use care when checking the cylinders/reels. Wear

gloves and use caution when servicing them.

• Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If

possible, do not make adjustments with the engine running.

• Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away

from spark and flames. Unplug charger before connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools.

Maintenance and Storage

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the

equipment is in safe working condition.

• Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a

building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any

enclosure.

• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,

silencer/muffler, battery compartment and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

• Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or

deterioration.

• Keep all parts in good working condition and all

hardware and hydraulic fittings tightened. Replace all worn or damaged parts and decals.

• If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.

• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent

entrapment of the fingers between moving blades and fixed parts of the machine.

• On multi-cylinder/multi-reel machines, take care as

rotating one cylinder/reel can cause other cylinders/reels to rotate.

Toro Riding Mower Safety

The following list contains safety information specific to Toro products or other safety information that you must know that is not included in the CEN, ISO, or ANSI standard.

This product is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious injury or death.

Use of this product for purposes other than its intended use could prove dangerous to user and bystanders.

Warning

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison that can kill you.

Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed area.

• Know how to stop the engine quickly.

• Do not operate the machine while wearing tennis shoes

or sneakers.

• Wearing safety shoes and long pants is advisable and

required by some local ordinances and insurance regulations.

Page 6

• Handle fuel carefully. Wipe up any spills.

• Check the safety interlock switches daily for proper

operation. If a switch should fail, replace the switch before operating the machine. After every two years, replace all four interlock switches in the safety system, whether they are working properly or not.

• Before disconnecting or performing any work on the

hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the cutting units and attachments to the ground.

• Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a regular

basis. Tighten or repair them as needed.

• Before starting the engine, sit on the seat.

• Using the machine demands attention. To prevent loss

of control: – Do not drive close to sand traps, ditches, creeks, or

other hazards.

– Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid

sudden stops and starts.

– When near or crossing roads, always yield the

right-of-way.

– Apply the service brakes when going downhill to

keep forward speed slow and to maintain control of the machine.

• The grass baskets must be in place during operation of

the cylinders/reels or thatchers for maximum safety. Shut the engine off before emptying the baskets.

• Raise the cutting units when driving from one work

area to another.

• Do not touch the engine, silencer/muffler, or exhaust

pipe while the engine is running or soon after it has stopped because these areas could be hot enough to cause burns.

• If the engine stalls or loses headway and cannot make it

to the top of a slope, do not turn the machine around. Always back slowly, straight down the slope.

• When a person or pet appears unexpectedly in or near

the mowing area, stop mowing. Careless operation, combined with terrain angles, ricochets, or improperly positioned guards can lead to thrown object injuries. Do not resume mowing until the area is cleared.

Maintenance and Storage

• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all

hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.

• If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance

adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and any parts of the body away from the cutting units, attachments, and any moving parts, especially fans, belts or pulleys. Keep everyone away.

• To ensure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro

Distributor check the maximum engine speed with a tachometer. Maximum governed engine speed should be 3200 RPM.

• If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is

desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.

• Use only Toro-approved attachments and replacement

parts. The warranty may be voided if used with unapproved attachments.

Installing the Counterbalance Springs

Warning

Use caution when tensioning the springs as they are under heavy load.

The counterbalance springs help balance the cutting units to allow equal amounts of weight (down pressure) to be distributed to each end of the cutting unit. The springs also transfer weight from the cutting units to the traction unit therefore, increasing traction.

The following are recommended settings for the counterbalance springs. Minor changes may be required to achieve optimum performance for your turf conditions. The weight, at each end of the cutting unit, can be checked easily with a spring scale.

• Increasing the spring tension reduces the weight on

inboard end of the cutting unit and increases the weight on the outboard end.

• Decreasing the spring tension increases the weight on

the inboard end of the cutting unit and reduces the weight on outboard end.

27” Cutting Units

1. Hook the spring into the third hole from the top on the

inboard side of both front cutting unit lift tabs and on the rear cutting unit lift tab (Fig. 12).

Note: Selecting the #4 hole position (increasing the spring tension) will reduce the weight on the inboard end of the cutting unit, increase the weight on the outboard end of the cutting unit, and increase traction. Selecting the #2 hole position has the opposite affect.

Figure 12

1. Cutting unit lift tab

2. Secure the other end of the spring to the appropriate

hole (see below) on the front and rear counterbalance arms (Fig. 13 & 14) with the spring shackle, clevis pin, and cotter pin.

• Fourth hole from the top for 5 blade reels

• Third hole from the top for 8 blade reels

• Top hole for reels with baskets

Note: On the rear counterbalance spring, install the vinyl cover over the spring before installing.

Note: Increasing the spring tension will reduce the weight on the inboard end of the cutting unit, increase the weight on the outboard end of the cutting unit, and increase traction. Decreasing the spring tension has the opposite affect.

Activating and Charging the Battery

Warning

5. Install the positive cable (red) to the positive (+)

terminal and the negative cable (black) to the negative (—) terminal of the battery (Fig. 18) and secure them with capscrews and nuts. Slide the rubber boot over the positive terminal to prevent a possible short from occurring.

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.

If the battery is not filled with electrolyte or activated, bulk electrolyte with 1.260 specific gravity must be purchased from a local battery supply outlet and added to the battery.

1. Remove the filler caps from the battery and slowly fill

each cell until the electrolyte is just above the plates.

Danger

Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a deadly poison and causes severe burns.

• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with

skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect your hands.

• Fill the battery where clean water is always

available for flushing the skin.

Warning

Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.

• Always disconnect the negative (black) battery

cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable.

• Always connect the positive (red) battery cable

before connecting the negative (black) cable.

2. Replace the filler caps with the vents pointing to the

rear (toward the fuel tank) and connect a 3 to 4 amp battery charger to the battery posts. Charge the battery at a rate of 3 to 4 amperes for 4 to 8 hours.

Warning

Charging the battery produces gasses that can explode.

Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and flames away from battery.

3. When the battery is charged, disconnect the charger

from the electrical outlet and battery posts.

4. Remove the filler caps. Slowly add electrolyte to each

cell until the level is up to the fill ring. Install the filler caps.

Important Do not overfill the battery. Electrolyte will

overflow onto other parts of the machine and severe corrosion and deterioration will result.

Before Operating

Caution

If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously injure you or other bystanders.

Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch.

Checking the Crankcase Oil

The engine is shipped with approximately 3.5 quarts (w/ filter) of oil in the crankcase; however, level of oil must be checked before and after the engine is first started.

1. Position machine on a level surface.

Figure 20

1. Filler cap

2. Remove dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Insert dipstick into tube and make sure it is seated fully. Remove dipstick and check level of oil.

Figure 19

1. Dipstick

3. The engine uses any high-quality 10W30 detergent oil having the American Petroleum Institute -API- “service classification” CF or better.

4. If oil level is low, remove filler cap and add enough oil to raise level to FULL mark on dipstick.

Note: When adding oil, remove dipstick to allow proper venting, pour oil slowly and check the level often during this process. DO NOT OVERFILL.

Important When adding engine oil or filling oil, there

must be clearance between the oil fill device and the oil fill hole in the valve cover as shown in figure 21. This clearance is necessary to permit venting when filling, which prevents oil from overrunning into breather.

Figure 21

5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.

Important Check level of oil every 8 operating hours

or daily. Change oil and filter initially after the first 50 hours of operation, thereafter, change oil and filter every 100 hours. However, change oil more frequently when engine is operated in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.

Page 23

Note: After filling or changing oil, start and run the engine at idle for 30 seconds. Shut engine off. Wait 30 seconds and check oil level. Add enough oil to raise level to FULL mark on dipstick.

4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent a fire

hazard.

Checking the Cooling System

Filling the Fuel Tank

The engine runs on No. 2 diesel fuel. The fuel tank capacity is approximately 6.5 gallons.

Danger

Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can cause property damage.

• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in

an open area, when the engine is off and is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.

• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel

to the fuel tank until the level is 1 in. (25 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows the fuel to expand.

• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away

from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be ignited by a spark.

• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container

and keep the cap in place.

The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of water and permanent ethylene glycol anti-freeze. Check the coolant level at the beginning of each day before starting the engine. The cooling system capacity is approximately 5-1/4 quarts.

1. Clean debris off of the radiator screen (Fig. 23), radiator

(Fig. 24) and oil cooler (Fig. 24) daily or hourly if conditions are extremely dusty and dirty; refer to Cleaning the Radiator and Screen, page 40.

1. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap (Fig. 22).

Figure 22

1. Fuel tank cap

2. Remove the fuel tank cap.

3. Fill the tank to about 1 in. (25 mm) below the top of the

tank, (bottom of the filler neck). Do not overfill. Install the cap.

Figure 23

1. Radiator screen

Figure 24

1. Radiator 2. Oil cooler

Page 24

Caution

3. If the coolant level is low, replenish the system. Do not overfill.

If the engine has been running, the pressurized, hot coolant can escape and cause burns.

• Do not open the radiator cap when the engine is

running.

• Use a rag when opening the radiator cap, and

open the cap slowly to allow steam to escape.

1. Carefully remove the radiator cap (Fig. 25).

Figure 25

1. Radiator cap

2. Check the coolant level in the radiator. The radiator

should be filled to the middle of the horizontal filler neck and the surge tank (Fig. 26) should be half way between Full and Low.

4. Install the radiator cap.

Checking the Hydraulic System Fluid

The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately 3.3 gallons (12.5 l) of high quality hydraulic fluid. Check the level of hydraulic fluid before the

engine is first started and daily thereafter. Appropriate hydraulic oils are listed below.

The following list is not assumed to be all–inclusive. Hydraulic fluids produced by other manufacturers may be used if they can cross reference to find an equivalent to the products listed. Toro will not assume responsibility for damage caused by improper substitutions, so use only products from reputable manufacturers who will stand behind their recommendation.

Multigrade Hydraulic Fluid – ISO VG 46 Normal Climate: 0 (–18C) to 110F (43C)

Mobil DTE 15M Amoco Rykon Premium ISO 46 Chevron Rykon Premium Oil ISO 46 Conoco Hydroclear AW MV46 Exxon Univis N46 Pennzoil AWX MV46 Shell Tellus T 46 Texaco Rando HDZ 46

1. Surge tank

Figure 26

Important The ISO VG 46 Multigrade fluid has been

found to offer optimal performance in a wide range of

temperature conditions. For operation in consistently high ambient temperatures, 65F (18C) to 120F (49C), ISO VG 68 hydraulic fluid may offer improved performance.

Note: Many hydraulic fluids are almost colorless, making it difficult to spot leaks. A red dye additive for the hydraulic system oil is available in 2/3 oz. (20 ml) bottles. One bottle is sufficient for 4–6 gal (15–22 l) of hydraulic oil. Order part no. 44–2500 from your authorized Toro distributor. Not recommended for biodegradable fluid (use food coloring).

1. Position the machine on a level surface.

Page 25

2. Check the fluid level by viewing it in the sight gauge

(Fig. 27). If the fluid is cold, the level should be at the bottom of the gauge. If the fluid is hot, the level should be at the center of the gauge.

Checking the Tire Pressure

The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore, release some of the air to reduce the pressure. The correct air pressure in the tires is 16–20 psi (110–138 kPa).

Figure 27

1. Hydraulic reservoir cap 2. Sight gauge

3. If the fluid level is not at least at the bottom of the

gauge when it is cold, remove the cap from the hydraulic fluid reservoir (Fig. 27) and slowly fill the reservoir with high quality hydraulic fluid until the level in it reaches the bottom of the sight gauge. Do not

overfill.

Important To prevent system contamination, clean the

top of the hydraulic fluid containers before puncturing. Ensure that the pour spout and funnel are clean.

4. Install the reservoir cap. Wipe up any fluid that may

have spilled.

Important Maintain the recommended pressure in all

tires to ensure a good quality-of-cut and proper machine performance. Do not under-inflate.

Checking the Reel to Bedknife Contact

Each day before operating, check the reel to bedknife contact, regardless if the quality of cut had previously been acceptable. There must be light contact across the full length of the reel and bedknife; refer to Adjusting the Reel to the Bedknife in the Cutting Unit Operator’s Manual.

Checking the Torque of the Wheel Nuts

Warning

Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts could result in personal injury.

Torque the wheel nuts to 45–65 ft.-lb. (61–88 Nm) after 1–4 hours of operation and again after 10 hours of operation. Torque every 200 hours thereafter.

an open area, when the engine is off and is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.

• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel

to the fuel tank until the level is 1 in. (25 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows the fuel to expand.

• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away

from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be ignited by a spark.

• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container

and keep the cap in place.

3. Follow starting instructions.

4. Tighten air bleed screw on top of fuel filter.

Note: Normally, engine should start after above bleeding procedures are followed. However, if engine does not start, air may be trapped between injection pump and injectors; refer to Bleeding Air From Injectors.

Interlock Switches

Caution

If safety interlock switches are disconnected or damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly causing personal injury.

• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.

• Check the operation of the interlock switches

daily and replace any damaged switches before operating the machine.

• Replace switches every two years regardless of

whether they are operating properly or not.

1. Be sure that the parking brake is set and all bystanders

are away from the area of operation. Keep hands and feet away from the cutting units.

2. With the operator off of the seat, the backlap knob

rotated counterclockwise, the traction pedal in neutral, parking brake engaged and the reel switch in the OFF position, the engine should start. If either the traction pedal is depressed or the reel switch is turned ON, with the operator off of the seat, the engine should stop. Correct the problem if it is not operating properly.

3. With the engine running, the operator off of the seat,

and the backlap knob rotated clockwise, the engine should not stop when the reel switch is turned ON. Correct the problem if it is not operating properly.

4. With the engine running, the operator off of the seat,

and the backlap knob rotated clockwise, the engine should stop if the traction pedal is engaged. Correct the problem if it is not operating properly.

5. With the operator on the seat, the engine running, and

the reel switch in the ON position, the dash indicator light should be glowing and the reel motors turning when the lift cylinder is fully retracted. As the lift cylinder is extended, the light should go out and the reel motors should stop turning. Correct the problem if it is not operating properly.

6. With the operator on the seat, the engine must not start

with either the reel switch engaged or the traction control engaged. Correct the problem if it is not operating properly.

Page 30

Towing the Traction Unit

In case of an emergency, the machine can be towed for a short distance. However, we do not recommend this as a standard procedure.

Important Do not tow the machine faster than 2–3

MPH because the drive system may become damaged. If the machine must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.

1. Locate the bypass valve on the pump (Fig. 36) and

rotate it 90° (the bypass valve lever should be horizontal when it is open).

Figure 36

1. Bypass valve

2. Before starting the engine, close the bypass valve by

rotating it 90° (the bypass valve lever should be vertical when closed). Do not start the engine when the valve is open.

Operating Characteristics

Follow the operating guidelines presented in this manual and know how to operate the machine safely on all types of terrain. 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 the IDLE position, and set the parking brake.

Selecting the Clip Rate (Reel Speed)

To achieve a consistent, high quality of cut, and a uniform after cut appearance, it is important that the reel speed be matched to the height of cut.

Adjust the clip rate (reel speed) as follows:

1. Verify the height-of-cut setting on the cutting units.

Using the column of the chart listing either 5 or 8 blade reels, find the height of cut listing nearest the actual height-of-cut setting. Look across the chart to find the number corresponding to that height of cut.

2. Turn the reel speed control knob (Fig. 37) to the number

setting determined in step 1.

Caution

This machine produces sound levels in excess of 85dBA at the operators ear and can cause hearing loss through extended periods of exposure.

Wear hearing protection when operating this machine.

Practice operating the machine and become thoroughly familiar with it. Because of its hydrostatic transmission, its characteristics differ from many turf maintenance machines. Points to consider when operating are the traction drive, engine speed, and load on the cutting units. Regulate the traction pedal to keep the engine RPM high and somewhat constant while mowing to maintain adequate power for the traction and cutting units. Adjust the speed selector to maintain constant ground speed and quality of cut. However, when on hilly terrain, do not use the speed selector.

Figure 37

1. Reel speed control

3. Operate the machine for several days, then examine the

cut to ensure satisfaction with the quality of cut. The reel speed knob may be set one position on either side of the position indicated on the chart to account for differences in grass condition, grass length removed, and personal preference of the superintendent.

Training Period

Inspection and Clean-Up After

Before mowing with the machine, we suggest that you find a clear area and practice starting and stopping, raising and lowering cutting units, turning, etc. This training period will be beneficial to the operator in gaining confidence in the performance of the machine.

Before Mowing

Inspect the area for debris and clear area if necessary. Determine the best direction to mow on the previous mowing direction. 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.

Transport Operation

Be sure that the cutting units are in the fully up position, move the traction pedal stop from under the pedal to allow full traction pedal travel, and place the throttle control in the FAST position. While operating on slopes and uneven terrain, always reduce your speed and use extreme caution before turning to reduce the risk of tipping or losing control. Watch carefully for, and avoid, holes in the terrain, sudden drop-offs, and other hidden hazards. To prevent costly damage and down time, familiarize yourself with the width of the machine. Do not attempt to pass between immovable objects placed close together.

Mowing

At the completion of the mowing operation, thoroughly wash the machine with a garden hose—without a nozzle—so that excessive water pressure will not cause contamination and damage to the seals and bearings.

Make sure that the radiator screen, radiator, and oil cooler are kept free of dirt or grass clippings. After cleaning, it is recommended that the machine be inspected for possible hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to the hydraulic and mechanical components, and the cutting units checked for sharpness and proper reel to bedknife adjustment.

Standard Control Module (SCM)

The Standard Control Module is a ”potted” electronic device produced in a ”one size fits all” configuration. The module uses solid state and mechanical components to monitor and control standard electrical features required for safe product operation.

The module monitors inputs including neutral, parking brake, PTO, start, backlap, and high temperature. The module energizes outputs including PTO, Starter, and ETR (energize to run) solenoid.

The module is divided into inputs and outputs. Inputs and outputs are identified by green LED indicators mounted on the printed circuit board.

The start circuit input is energized by 12 VDC. All other inputs are energized when the circuit is closed to ground. Each input has a LED that is illuminated when the specific circuit is energized. Use the input LED’s for switch and input circuit troubleshooting.

Output circuits are energized by an appropriate set of input conditions. The three outputs include PTO, ETR, and START. Output LED’s monitor relay condition indicating the presence of voltage at one of three specific output terminals.

Output circuits do not determine output device integrity so electrical troubleshooting includes output LED inspection and conventional device and wire harness integrity testing. Measure disconnected component impedance, impedance through wire harness (disconnect at SCM), or by temporarily ”test energizing” the specific component.

The SCM does not connect to an external computer or hand held device, can not be re–programmed, and does not record intermittent fault troubleshooting data.

The decal on the SCM only includes symbols. Three LED output symbols are shown in the output box. All other LED’s are inputs. The chart below identifies the symbols.

Here are the logical troubleshooting steps for the SCM device.

1. Determine the output fault you are trying to resolve

(PTO, START, or ETR).

2. Move key switch to ”ON” and ensure the red ”power”

LED is illuminated.

3. Move all input switches to ensure all LED’s change

state.

5. If specific output LED is illuminated without

appropriate output function, check output harness, connections, and component. Repair as required.

6. If specific output LED is not illuminated, check both

fuses.

7. If specific output LED is not illuminated and inputs are

in appropriate condition, install new SCM and determine if fault disappears.

Outputs

4. Position input devices at appropriate position to achieve

the appropriate output. Use the following logic chart to determine the appropriate input condition.

Page 34

Each row (across) in the logic chart below identifies input and output requirements for each specific product function. Product functions are listed in the left column. Symbols identify specific circuit condition including: energized to voltage, closed to ground, and open to ground.

– Indicates a circuit closed to ground. – LED ON O Indicates a circuit open to ground or de–energized – LED OFF + Indicates an energized circuit (clutch coil, solenoid, or start input) LED ON. ” ” A Blank indicates a circuit that is not involved with the logic. To troubleshoot, turn on the key without starting the engine.

Identify the specific function that does not work and work across the logic chart. Inspect the condition of each input LED’s to ensure it matches the logic chart.

If the input LED’s are correct, check the output LED. If the output LED is illuminated but the device is not energized, measure available voltage at the output device, continuity of the disconnected device, and potential voltage on the ground circuit (floating ground). Repairs will vary depending on your findings.

Greasing the Bearings and Bushings

The traction unit has grease fittings that 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 50 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.

The traction unit bearings and bushings that must be lubricated are: steering column (Fig. 38), steering gears (2) (under the skirt below the steering sector), steering shaft (2) (Fig. 39), lift arms (3) (Fig. 40), rear lift cylinder pivot (Fig. 40), pivot rods (3) (Fig. 41), traction pedal pivot (Fig. 42) and neutral centering (Fig. 43)

Also, apply grease to slots in cylinder support (Fig. 44).

Danger

Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a deadly poison and causes severe burns.

• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with

skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect your hands.

• Fill the battery where clean water is always

available for flushing the skin.

Figure 62

1. Upper brake lever 2. Clevis

4. Install the clevis to the upper brake lever and tighten the

jam nut. Repeat the procedure on the opposite side of the machine.

5. After any brake adjustment, operate the vehicle at a low

speed (one MPH or less) and check that the brakes engage equally on both wheels. Readjust as necessary.

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.

Battery cables must be tight on the terminals to provide good electrical contact.

Warning

Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.

• Always disconnect the negative (black) battery

cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable.

• Always connect the positive (red) battery cable

before connecting the negative (black) cable.

If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the cables, negative (—) cable first, and scrape clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect the cables, positive (+) cable first, and coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.

Battery Care

The battery electrolyte level must be properly maintained and the top of the battery kept clean. lf the machine is stored in a location where temperatures are extremely high, the battery will run down more rapidly than if the machine is stored in a location where temperatures are cool.

Check the electrolyte level every 25 operating hours or, if machine is in storage, every 30 days.

Maintain the cell level with distilled or demineralized water. Do not fill the cells above the bottom of the split ring inside each cell. Install the filler caps with the vents pointing to the rear (toward the fuel tank).

Storing the Battery

If the machine will be stored more than 30 days, remove the battery and charge it fully. Either store it on the shelf or on the machine. Leave the cables disconnected if it is stored on the machine. Store the battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the charge in the battery. To prevent the battery from freezing, make sure it is fully charged. The specific gravity of a fully charged battery is

1.265 – 1.299.

Fuses

The fuses in the electrical system are located on the back of the instrument panel (Fig. 63).

Caution

Contact with the reel or other moving parts can result in personal injury.

7. To make an adjustment to the cutting units while

backlapping, turn the reels OFF by pushing in on the knob on the instrument panel and turning the engine OFF. After adjustments have been completed, repeat steps 4–6.

8. When the backlap operation is completed, stop the

engine, rotate the backlap knob clockwise to the MOW position, set the reel speed controls to the desired mowing setting and wash all lapping compound off of the cutting units.

Note: Additional instructions and procedures on backlapping are available in the TORO Sharpening Reel & Rotary Mowers Manual, Form No. 80-300SL.

Note: For a better cutting edge, run a file across the front face of the bedknife when the lapping operation is completed. This will remove any burrs or rough edges that may have built up on the cutting edge.

Owner Responsibilities

As the Product owner, you are responsible for required maintenance and adjustments stated in your operator’s manual. Failure to perform required maintenance and adjustments can be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim.

Items and Conditions Not Covered

Not all product failures or malfunctions that occur during the warranty period are defects in materials or workmanship. This express warranty does not cover the following:

• Product failures which result from the use of non-Toro replacement parts, or from installation and use of add-on, modified, or unapproved accessories

• Product failures which result from failure to perform required maintenance and/or adjustments

• Product failures which result from operating the Product in an abusive, negligent or reckless manner

• Parts subject to consumption through use unless found to be defective. Examples of parts which are consumed, or used up, during normal Product operation include, but are not limited to, blades, reels, bedknives, tines, spark plugs, castor wheels, tires, filters, belts, etc.

• Failures caused by outside influence. Items considered to be outside influence include, but are not limited to, weather, storage practices, contamination, use of unapproved coolants, lubricants, additives, or chemicals, etc.

• Normal “wear and tear” items. Normal “wear and tear” includes, but is not limited to, damage to seats due to wear or abrasion, worn painted surfaces, scratched decals or windows, etc.

Parts

Parts scheduled for replacement as required maintenance are warranted for the period of time up to the scheduled replacement time for that part.

Parts replaced under this warranty become the property of Toro. T oro will make the final decision whether to repair any existing part or assembly or replace it. Toro may use factory remanufactured parts rather than new parts for some warranty repairs.

General Conditions

Repair by an Authorized Toro Distributor or Dealer is your sole remedy under this warranty.

Neither The Toro Company nor Toro Warranty Company is liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages in connection with t h e use of the T oro Products covered by this warranty, including any cost or expense of providing substitute equipment or service during reasonable periods of malfunction or non-use pending completion of repairs under this warranty. Except for the Emissions warranty referenced below, if applicable, there is no other express warranty. All implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for use are limited to the duration of this express warranty.

Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Note regarding engine warranty: The Emissions Control System on your Product may be covered by a separate warranty meeting requirements established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and/or the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The hour limitations set forth above do not apply to the Emissions Control System Warranty. Refer to the Engine Emission Control Warranty Statement printed in your operator’s manual or contained in the engine manufacturer’s documentation for details.

Countries Other than the United States or Canada

Customers who have purchased Toro products exported from the United States or Canada should contact their Toro Distributor (Dealer) to obtain guarantee policies for your country, province, or state. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your Distributor’s service or have difficulty obtaining guarantee information, contact the Toro importer. If all other remedies fail, you may contact us at Toro Warranty Company.
