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;

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;

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.

Toro Riding Mower Safety

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.

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

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.

• Handle fuel carefully. Wipe up any spills.

Page 6

• 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 starting the engine, sit on the seat.

• 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.

• 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.

• Stay clear of the rotating screen at the side of the engine to prevent direct contact with your body or clothing.

• 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.

• 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 the screen at the side of the engine. 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 2900 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.

Sound Pressure

This unit has a maximum sound pressure level at the operator’s ear of 82 dBA, based on measurements of identical machines per Directive 98/37/EC.

Sound Power

This unit has a guaranteed sound power level of 105 dBA, based on measurements of identical machines per Directive 2000/14/EC.

• 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.

• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. Seek immediate medical attention if fluid is injected into skin.

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’s Manual. 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.

6. Align the sockets in the ball joints so the open side of the socket is centered towards the ball stud. Tighten the jam nuts to secure the sockets in position (Fig. 12).

Figure 13

1. Capscrews 2. Drive motor

8. Remove the protective covers from the cutting units and the reel drive motor shafts.

Page 16

Note: Retain the protective covers for the cutting units. Install them whenever the reel drive motors are removed to protect the cutting unit bearings from contamination.

9. Using a hand pump grease gun, fill the cavity at the end of the cutting unit with #2 general purpose grease.

10. Coat the spline shaft of the motor with clean grease and install the motor by rotating the motor clockwise so that the motor flanges clear the studs. Rotate the motor counterclockwise until the flanges are encircling the studs. Tighten the mounting capscrews (Fig. 13).

Rear Ballast

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.

Page 17

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.

Figure 14

1. Dipstick 2. 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).

Page 18

2. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.

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 before the 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.

Premium Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid—Mobil EAL EnviroSyn 46H

Important Mobil EAL EnviroSyn 46H is the only

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.

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.

Figure 19

Page 21

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. Release the key as soon as the engine starts; the key will move to the On position. Turn the key counterclockwise to the Off position to stop 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.

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. 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.

Figure 24

1. Traction switch

2. Seat switch

Perform the following system checks daily to be sure the interlock system is operating correctly:

1. Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake, and move the shift selector to neutral. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make sure the pedal is in neutral. Fully depress the lift pedal and release it. Try to start the engine. The engine should crank and run, which means the interlock system is operating correctly. If the engine did crank, proceed to step 2. If the engine did not crank, contact your local Toro Distributor for assistance.

3. Mow/lift switch

6. Sit on the seat and move the traction shift selector to Neutral. Fully depress the lift pedal and release it. Start 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).

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.

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.

2. High speed spring anchor tang

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.

Page 32

4. Set the air gap between the center and side of the electrodes at 0.030 in. (.76 mm) (Fig. 39) Install the correctly gapped spark plug w/gasket seal, and tighten the plug to 200 in.-lb. (23 N⋅m). If a torque wrench is not used, tighten the plug firmly.

Replacing the Fuel Filter

An in-line filter is incorporated into the fuel line between the fuel tank and carburetor (Fig. 40). Replace the filter every 800 hours or sooner if the fuel flow is restricted. Be sure the arrow on the filter is pointing away from the fuel tank.

Changing the Hydraulic Oil and Filter

Normally, change the hydraulic oil and filter after every 2000 operating hours. If the oil becomes contaminated, contact your local Toro distributor because the system must be flushed. Contaminated oil looks milky or black when compared to clean oil.

1. Remove the drain plug from the reservoir (Fig. 41) and let hydraulic oil flow into a drain pan. Reinstall and tighten the plug when hydraulic oil stops draining.

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.

• Drain gasoline from the fuel tank when the engine is cold. Do this outdoors in an open area. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.

• Never smoke when draining gasoline, and stay away from an open flame or where a spark may ignite the gasoline fumes.

1. Close the fuel shut-off valve, loosen the hose clamp

(Fig. 40) on the carburetor side of filter and remove the fuel line from the filter.

Figure 40

3. Install the new filter with the arrow on the filter body pointing away from the fuel tank.

Page 33

4. Fill the hydraulic tank with approximately 4.5 gallons of hydraulic oil; refer to Checking the Hydraulic System, page 18.

5. Start the machine and run it at idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the fluid and remove any air trapped in the system. Stop the machine and recheck the fluid level.

2. If the brakes do not lock equally, disconnect the brake rods by removing the cotter pin and clevis pin (Fig. 43).

6. Dispose of the used oil properly.

Checking the Hydraulic Lines and Hoses

Warning

Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury.

• Make sure all hydraulic fluid hoses and lines are in good condition and all hydraulic connections and fittings are tight before applying pressure to the hydraulic system.

• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid.

• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.

• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic

system before performing any work on the hydraulic system.

• Seek immediate medical attention if fluid is injected into skin.

Check the hydraulic lines and hoses daily for leaks, kinked lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings, weather deterioration, and chemical deterioration. Make all necessary repairs before operating.

Adjusting the Brakes

A brake adjustment rod is located on each side of the machine so that the brakes can be equally adjusted. Adjust the brakes as follows:

1. Transport the machine and depress the brake pedal; both wheels should lock equally.

Caution

Testing the brakes in a confined area where others are present could cause injury.

Always check the brakes in a wide, open-spaced, flat area which is free of other persons and obstructions before and after adjustment.

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).

If the shift selector lever does not return to Neutral or the #1 position from the #2 position when the mow pedal is engaged, an adjustment to the traction return linkage is required.

1. Loosen the front jam nut securing the cable assembly to the mow/lift control rod bracket (Fig. 51).

Battery Care

Warning

If corrosion occurs at the 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.

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.

The battery electrolyte level must be properly maintained and the top of the battery kept clean. Store the machine in a cool place to prevent the battery from running down.

Check the electrolyte level every 50 operating hours or, if machine is in storage, every 30 days.

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.

Maintain the cell level with distilled or demineralized water. Do not fill the cells above the bottom of the split ring inside each cell.

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 it. Do not remove the fill caps while cleaning the battery.

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

Storage

If you wish to store the machine for a long period of time, 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.

Warning

Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the tractor 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.
