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;
3
Page 4
– 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 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.
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.
• 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;
– machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and
during tight turns;
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.
– 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.
– 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.
• 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;
4
Page 5
– before making height adjustment unless adjustment
can be made from the operator’s position.
– 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.

Installing the Cutting Units
For Cutting Unit Models 04610 and 04611
Note: When sharpening, setting the height-of-cut or
performing other maintenance procedures on the cutting
units, store the cutting unit reel motors in the support tubes
on the front of the frame to prevent damage to the hoses.
1. Remove the cutting units from the cartons. Assemble
and adjust them as listed in the cutting unit Operator’sManual. Use the gauge bar from the loose parts kit to
adjust the height of cut.
2. Mount a washer and ball stud to each end of the front
roller on the cutting units (Fig. 10).
5. Mount the baskets on the pull frames, loosen the jam
nuts on the pull arms, and adjust the ball sockets until
there is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) clearance between
the lip of the basket and the reel blades or the front
shield.
Note: This prevents the basket from tipping the cutting
unit forward, causing the lift roller to come off of the
lift arm while in the mowing operation.
Be sure the basket lip is equidistant from the reel blades
all across each reel. If the basket is too close to the reel,
it is possible for the reel to contact the basket when the
cutting unit is raised off of the ground.

This unit complies with CEN standard EN 836:1997, ISO
standard 5395:1990, and ANSI B71.4–1999 specifications
when 40 lb. of calcium chloride ballast is added to the rear
wheel.
Important If a puncture occurs in a tire with calcium
chloride, remove the unit from the turf area as quickly as
possible. To prevent possible damage to the turf,
immediately soak the affected area with water.

Before Operating
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Checking the Engine Oil
The engine is shipped with 1-3/4 quarts (1.7 liters)
(w/filter) of oil in the crankcase; however, the oil level
must be checked before and after the engine is first started.
The engine uses any high-quality detergent oil having the
American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification
of SC, SD, SE, SF, or SG. The recommended viscosity
(weight) is SAE 30.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag.
Screw the dipstick into the tube and make sure it is
seated fully (Fig. 14). Unscrew the dipstick out of the
tube and check the oil level. If the oil level is low,
remove the filler cap from the valve cover and add
enough oil to raise the level to the Full mark on the
dipstick.
2

Figure 14
1. Dipstick2. Filler cap
3. Pour oil into the 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 or
operation; thereafter, under normal conditions, change the
oil every 50 hours and the filter every 100 hours. However,
change the oil more frequently when the engine is operated
in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
4. Install the filler cap and dipstick firmly in place.
Filling the Gas Tank
Use unleaded regular gasoline suitable for automotive use
(85 pump octane minimum). Leaded regular gasoline may
be used if unleaded regular is not available.
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.
Danger
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.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline
that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline 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 gasoline to
expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where gasoline
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy
more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
• Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate
the container and slow the loss of any static
charge.
• When practical, remove gas-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer and refuel the
equipment with its wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep
the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
1. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the cap
(Fig. 15). Add unleaded regular gasoline to the fuel tank
until the level is 1 in. (25 mm) below the bottom of the
filler neck. This space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Note: Fuel tank capacity is 7.5 gallons (28.4 liters).

Servicing the Hydraulic System
The machine’s reservoir is filled at the factory with
approximately 4-1/2 gallons (17 liters) of high quality
hydraulic fluid. Check the level of hydraulic fluid beforethe engine is first started and daily thereafter. The
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.

Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid—Mobil 224H
Important Mobil EAL 224H is the only biodegradable
oil tested and approved by Toro. Contamination by
mineral–based hydraulic fluids will change the
biodegradability and toxicity of this oil. When changing
from standard fluid to the biodegradable type, be certain to
follow the approved flushing procedure published by
Mobil. Contact your Toro Distributor for details. The oil is
available in 5 gallon (19 l) containers from your Toro
Distributor, order part no. 100–7674.
synthetic biodegradable fluid approved by Toro. This fluid
is compatible with the elastomers used in Toro hydraulic
systems and is suitable for a wide–range of temperature
conditions. This fluid is compatible with conventional
mineral oils, but for maximum biodegradability and
performance the hydraulic system should be thoroughly
flushed of conventional fluid. The oil is available in 5
gallon (19 l) containers or 55 gallon drums from your
Mobil Distributor.
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.
This red dye is not recommended for use with
biodegradable fluids. Use food coloring.
Important Regardless of hydraulic fluid type used, any
traction unit used for mowing fairways, verticutting or used
during ambient temperatures 65°F (18°C) to 120°F (49°C)
should have Oil Cooler Kit, Part No. 104–7701, installed.
Checking the Hydraulic System
Check the level of hydraulic fluid before the engine is
first started and daily thereafter.
1. Position the machine on a level surface. Make sure the
machine has cooled down so the oil is cold.
2. Remove the cap from the top of the reservoir and check
the fluid level. The fluid should be approximately
3-1/2 in. (89 mm) below the top of the fill hole
(Fig. 16).
3. If the oil level is low, slowly fill the reservoir with ISO
VG 46/48 or equivalent hydraulic oil until the level is
up to the correct level. Do not mix oils.
4. Install the cap.
18
Page 19
Important To prevent system contamination, clean the
top of the hydraulic oil containers before puncturing them.
Ensure that the pour spout and funnel are clean.
Note: Make a close visual inspection of the hydraulic
components. Inspect them for Ieaks, loose fasteners,
missing parts, improperly routed lines, etc. Make any
corrections necessary.

Tire Pressure
The tires are over-inflated at the factory for shipping
purposes. Reduce the pressure to the proper levels before
starting the unit.
Vary the tire pressure for the front wheels, depending upon
your turf conditions, from a minimum of 8 psi to a
maximum of 12 psi (55 to 83 kPa).
Vary the tire pressure for the rear wheel from a minimum of
8 psi to a maximum of 15 psi (55 to 103 kPa).
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 70–90 ft.-lb. (95–122 NVm)
after 1–4 hours of operation and again after 10
hours of operation. Torque every 200 hours
thereafter.

The traction pedal (Fig. 18) has three functions: to make
the machine move forward, to move it backward, and to
stop machine. Depress the top of the pedal to move forward
and the bottom of the pedal to move backward or to assist
in stopping when moving forward. Also, allow the pedal to
move to the neutral position to stop the machine. For
operator comfort, do not rest the heel of your foot on
reverse when operating forward (Fig. 19).
Brake Pedal
The brake pedal (Fig. 18) actuates an automotive
drum-type mechanical brake located at each traction wheel.
Lift Pedal
Depressing the lift pedal (Fig. 18) during operation stops
the reels from turning and lifts the cutting units. The lift
pedal must be fully depressed until the cutting units are
fully raised and have stopped rotating.

Throttle Control
The throttle control (Fig. 20) gives the operator the ability
to control the speed of the engine. Moving the throttle
control toward the Fast position increases the engine RPM;
moving the throttle control toward Slow will decrease the
engine RPM.
Note: The engine cannot be stopped by the use of the
throttle control.
Choke
To start a cold engine, close the carburetor choke by
moving the choke control (Fig. 20) forward to the Closed
position. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep
the engine running smoothly. As soon as possible, open the
choke by pulling it rearward to the Open position. A warm
engine requires little or no choking.
Ignition Switch
Insert the key into the switch (Fig. 20) and turn it clockwise
as far as possible to the Start position to start the engine.

Break-in Period
Refer to the Engine Manual supplied with the machine for
oil change and maintenance procedures recommended
during the break-in period.
Only 8 hours of mowing operation is required for the
break-in period.
2. Sit on the seat, place the shift selector in Neutral, and
check the mow and lift pedals to be sure they are level
with one another.
3. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make
sure the pedal is in the Neutral position.
4. Move the choke lever to the On position (only when
starting a cold engine) and the throttle lever to the half
throttle position.
5. Insert and rotate the ignition key clockwise until the
engine starts. After the engine starts, regulate the choke
to keep the engine running smoothly. As soon as
possible, open the choke by pulling it rearward to the
Off position. A warm engine requires little or no
choking.
6. Check the machine out with the following procedures
after the engine has started:
A. Move the throttle control to the Fast position and
momentarily engage the reels by depressing the
mow pedal. The cutting units should drop and all the
reels should turn.
B. Operate the lift pedal. The cutting reels should stop
and the cutting units should raise to the full
transport position.
Important Stop the engine. Check the lip of each
basket to be sure it is not in contact with the reel during
operation. Adjust the pull arms if contact is noted; refer
to Installing the Cutting Units.
Since the first hours of operation are critical to future
dependability of the machine, monitor its functions and
performance closely so that minor difficulties, which could
lead to major problems, are noted and can be corrected.
Inspect the machine frequently during break-in for signs of
oil leakage, loose fasteners, or any other malfunction.
To ensure optimum performance of the brake system,
burnish (break-in) the brakes before using the machine. To
burnish the brakes, firmly apply the brakes and drive the
machine at mowing speed until the brakes are hot, as
indicated by their smell. An adjustment to the brakes may
be required after break-in; refer to Adjusting the Brakes,
page 33.
C. Depress the brake pedal to keep the machine from
moving, and operate the traction pedal through the
forward and reverse positions.
D. Continue the above procedure for 1–2 minutes.
Neutralize the traction lever and mow and lift
pedals, lock the parking brake, and turn the engine
off.
E. Check for oil leaks. If oil leaks appear, check the
tightness of the hydraulic fittings. If oil leaks
continue to appear, contact your local Toro
Distributor for assistance and, if necessary,
replacement parts.
Important The motor or wheel seals may show
some trace of oil for a short period of time until the
machine break-in period has transpired.
22
Page 23
Note: Since the machine is new and the bearings and
reels are tight, it is necessary to use the Fast throttle
control position for this check. A fast throttle setting
may not be required after the break-in period.
Checking the Interlock System
2. Sit on the seat and engage the parking brake. Depress
the lift pedal fully and release it. Move the traction shift
selector to the #1 and #2 positions while trying to start
the engine in each position. The engine should not
crank, which means the traction switch on the valve
bank is operating correctly. If the engine did not crank,
proceed to step 3. If the engine cranked, contact your
local Toro Distributor for assistance.
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.
The purpose of the interlock system (Fig. 24) is to prevent
the engine from cranking or starting unless the traction shift
selector is in Neutral and the cutting units are disengaged.
In addition, the engine will stop when:
• The cutting units are engaged with the operator off of
the seat.
• The traction shift selector is in the No. 1 or No. 2
position with the operator off of the seat.
3

3. Sit on the seat and engage the parking brake. Fully
depress the lift pedal and release it. Move the traction
shift selector to neutral and try to start the engine. The
engine should start and continue to run, which means
the traction switch and mow/lift switch on the valve
bank are operating correctly; proceed to step 4. If the
engine cranked but did not start, the problem is not in
the interlock system. If engine did not crank, contact
your local Toro Distributor for assistance.
4. Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake, and move the
traction shift selector to neutral. Depress the mow pedal
and try to start the engine. The engine should not crank,
which means the mow/lift switch is operating correctly.
If the engine did not crank, proceed to step 6. If the
engine cranked, contact your local Toro Distributor for
assistance.
5. Sit on the seat and move the traction shift selector to
neutral. Fully depress the lift pedal and release it. Start
the engine and depress the mow pedal. Carefully rise
from the seat; the engine should stop. If the engine
stops, the interlock system is operating correctly. If the
engine does not stop, stop the engine and find the
problem before operating the machine again. If
assistance is required, contact your local Toro
Distributor.

the engine and drive to an open area that is free of
debris and foreign objects. Keep all people, especially
children, away from the front of the machine and out of
the area of operation. Move the shift selector to Neutral,
make sure the mow pedal is disengaged, set the throttle
control at half speed, and depress the brake pedal (do
not engage the parking brake button). While holding the
steering wheel, brace your feet on the foot deck and
brake pedal and move the shift selector to the #1
position. Carefully rise from the seat; the engine should
stop. If the engine stops, the interlock system is
operating correctly.
7. Repeat step 6 with the shift selector in the #2 position.
If the engine does not stop, stop the engine and find the
problem before operating the machine again. If
assistance is required, contact your local Toro
Distributor.
Note: The machine is equipped with an interlock switch on
the parking brake. The engine will stop if the traction shift
selector is in the #1 and #2 positions with the parking brake
engaged.

Preparing the Machine for
Before Mowing
Mowing
To assist in aligning the machine for successive cutting
passes, it is suggested the following be done to the No. 2
and No. 3 cutting unit baskets:
1. Measure in approximately 5 in. (12.7 cm) from the
outer edge of each basket.
2. Either place a strip of white tape or paint a line onto
each basket paralleling the outer edge of each basket
(Fig. 25).
4
2
1
3
Inspect the green for debris, remove the flag from the cup,
and determine the best direction to mow. Base the 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 trap between the reel blades and bedknife.
Mowing Procedures
1. Approach the green with the shift selector in the No. 1
position. Start on one edge of the green so that the
ribbon procedure of cutting may be used. This holds
compaction to a minimum and leaves a neat, attractive
pattern on the greens.
Important Shift to the No. 1 position when
approaching a green because the machine speed will
automatically be reduced when the cutting units are
engaged. Higher speed will resume when the cutting units
are disengaged.
2. Actuate the mow pedal as the front edge of the grass
baskets cross the outer edge of the green. This
procedure drops the cutting units to the turf and starts
the reels.
Figure 25
1. Alignment strip
2. Approximately 5 in.
(12.7 cm)
3. Cut grass on right
4. Keep focal spot 6–10 ft.
(1.8–3 m) ahead of the
machine.
Training Period
Before mowing greens with the machine, it is
recommended that you find a clear area and practice
starting and stopping, raising and lowering the cutting
units, turning, etc. This training period will be beneficial to
the operator in gaining confidence in the performance of
the machine.
Important If you shift to the No. 2 position while
cutting greens, no increase in speed will result. However, a
sudden increase in speed will develop when you actuate the
lift pedal. For safety purposes, it is recommended that you
use only the No. 1 position for cutting greens and the No. 2
position for transport.
Note: The No. 1 (rear) cutting unit reel will not start until
all the cutting units are on the ground and the No. 2 and
No. 3 cutting units are cutting.
Important Familiarize yourself with the fact that the
No. 1 cutting unit reel is delayed and therefore, you should
practice to try to gain the required timing necessary to
minimize the cleanup mowing operation.
3. Overlap a minimal amount with the previous cut on
return passes. To assist in maintaining a straight line
across the green and keep the machine an equal distance
from the edge of the previous cut, establish an
imaginary sight line approximately 6 to 10 ft. (1.8 to
3 m) ahead of the machine to the edge of the uncut
portion of the green (Fig. 25 and 26). Some find it
useful to include the outer edge of the steering wheel as
part of the sight line; i.e. keep the steering wheel edge
aligned with a point that is always kept the same
distance away from the front of the machine (Fig. 25
and 26).
4. As the front of the baskets cross the edge of the green,
depress the lift pedal. This will stop the reels and lift the
cutting units. Timing of this procedure is important, so
the mowers do not cut into the fringe area. However, as
much of the green as possible should be cut to minimize
the amount of grass left to mow around the outer
periphery.
24
Page 25
Transport Operation
Make sure that the cutting units are in the full up position.

Set the shift selector in No. 2 if conditions will permit
faster ground speed. Shift to No. 1 and operate at slower
ground speeds in rough or hilly areas. Use the brakes to
slow the machine while going down steep hills to avoid
loss of control. Always approach rough areas at a reduced
speed (shift selector in No. 1), and cross severe undulations
carefully. Familiarize yourself with the width of the
machine. Do not attempt to pass between objects that are
close together so that costly damage and down time can be
prevented.
Inspection and Cleanup After
Mowing
Figure 26
1. Alignment strip
2. Approximately 5 in.
(12.7 cm)
3. Cut grass on left
5. Cut down on operating time and ease lineup for the next
pass by momentarily turning the machine in the
opposite direction, then turning in the direction of the
uncut portion; i.e., if intending to turn right, first swing
slightly left, then right. This will assist in getting the
machine more quickly aligned for the next pass. Follow
the same procedure for turning in the opposite direction.
It is a good practice to try to make as short of a turn as
possible. However, turn in a wider arc during warmer
weather to minimize the possibility of bruising the turf.
Important The machine should never be stopped on a
green with the cutting unit reels operating as damage to the
turf may result. Stopping on a wet green with the machine
may leave marks or indentations from the wheels.
6. Finish cutting the green by mowing the outer periphery.
Be sure to change the direction of cutting from the
previous mowing. Always keep weather and turf
conditions in mind and be sure to change the direction
of mowing from the previous cutting. Replace the flag.
4. Keep focal spot 6–10 ft.
(1.8–3 m) ahead of the
machine.
At the completion of the mowing operation, thoroughly
wash the machine with a garden hose without a nozzle so
excessive water pressure will not cause contamination and
damage to the seals and bearings. After cleaning, it is
recommended the machine be inspected for possible
hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and
mechanical components, and the cutting units checked for
sharpness. Also, lubricate the mow and lift pedal and brake
shaft assembly with SAE 30 oil or spray lubricant to deter
corrosion and help keep the machine performing
satisfactorily during the next mowing operation.
7. Raise the cutting units and empty the grass baskets of
all clippings before transporting to the next green.
Heavy wet clippings place an undue strain on the
baskets and will add unnecessary weight to the
machine, thereby increasing the load on the engine,
hydraulic system, brakes, etc.

Replacing the Spark Plugs
Replace the spark plugs after every 800 operating hours.
The recommended air gap is 0.030 in. (.76 mm)
The correct spark plug to use is a Champion RC 14YC.
Note: The spark plug usually lasts a long time; however,
the plug should be removed and checked whenever the
engine malfunctions.
1. Clean the area around the spark plugs so that foreign
matter cannot fall into the cylinder when the spark plug
is removed.
2. Pull the spark plug wires off of the spark plugs and
remove the plugs from the cylinder head.
3. Check the condition of the side electrode, center
electrode, and center electrode insulator to ensure that
there is no damage.
Important A cracked, fouled, dirty, or otherwise
malfunctioning spark plug must be replaced. Do not sand
blast, scrape, or clean electrodes by using a wire brush
because grit may eventually release from the plug and fall
into the cylinder. The result is usually a damaged engine.

Adjusting the Traction Return
Linkage
Servicing the Steering
Assembly
The steering cable tension should be adjusted whenever
play is felt in the steering wheel. A loose steering cable will
make it difficult to steer in a straight line. However,
overtightening the cable will cause undue wear to the
pulleys and cause the cable to stretch and fail prematurely.
When properly tensioned, the cable should deflect 1/2 in.
(13 mm) at mid span when 11 lb. of force is applied.
1. Tension the cable by securing the cable end hex with an
open end wrench and turning the nut on the cable end
with another wrench (Fig. 52).

the following steps should be performed prior to storage:
1. Remove accumulations of dirt and old grass clippings.
Sharpen the reels and bedknives, if necessary; refer to
the Cutting Unit Operator’s Manual. Use a rust
preventive on bedknives and reel blades. Grease and oil
all lubrication points; refer to Lubrication, page 28.
2. Block up the wheels to remove any weight on the tires.
3. Drain and replace the hydraulic fluid and filter and
inspect the hydraulic lines and fittings. Replace, if
necessary; refer to Changing the Hydraulic Oil and
Filter, page 32 and Checking the Hydraulic Lines and
Hoses, page 33.
4. All fuel should be removed from the fuel tank. Run the
engine until it stops from lack of fuel. Replace the fuel
filter; refer to Replacing the Fuel Filter, page 32.
5. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the
crankcase. Refill it with fresh oil; refer to Changing the
Engine Oil and Filter, page 29.
6. Remove the spark plugs, pour one ounce of SAE 30 oil
into the cylinders, and crank slowly to distribute the oil.
Replace the spark plugs; refer to Replacing the Spark
Plugs, page 31.
7. Clean dirt and chaff from the cylinder, cylinder head
fins, and blower housing.
8. 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.
