Safety
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, and proper training of the
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of the machine. Improper use
or maintenance of the machine can result in injury or
death. To reduce the potential for injury or death,
comply with the following safety instructions.
Before Operating
• Read and understand the contents of this Operator’s
Manual before operating the machine. Become familiar
with all of the controls and know how to stop quickly. A
free replacement manual is available by sending the
complete Model and Serial Number to The Toro
Company, 8111 Lyndale Avenue South, Bloomington,
Minnesota 55420-1196.
• Never allow children to operate the machine. Do not
allow adults to operate machine without proper
instruction. Only trained operators who have read this
manual should operate this machine.
• Never operate the machine when under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
• Keep all bystanders away from the operating area.
• Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a shield,
safety device, or decal is illegible or damaged, repair or
replace it before operation is commenced. Also tighten
any loose nuts, bolts, and screws to ensure that the
machine is in safe operating condition.
• Do not operate the machine while wearing sandals,
tennis shoes, sneakers, or shorts. Also, do not wear
loose fitting clothing which could get caught in moving
parts. Always wear long pants and substantial shoes.
Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, and a helmet is
advisable and required by some local ordinances and
insurance regulations.
While Operating
• This product may exceed noise levels of 85 dB(A) at
the operator position. Ear protectors are recommended
for prolonged exposure to reduce the potential of
permanent hearing damage.
• Optional attachments may impact the operating
characteristics of the traction unit. For example, slopes
that have been mowed with cutting decks may be unsafe
to travel on with a narrow attachment, such as a blower,
due to the loss of support and stability provided by the
width of the decks. Further, the decks may have
prevented the traction unit from coming too close to
holes, dips, drop offs, obstacles and uneven terrain
which may cause a roll over. Use extra caution when
operating a traction unit with a blower attached in place
of mowing decks.
• Rollover protection and seat belts are recommended for
use on hillsides.
• Using the machine demands attention. To prevent loss
of control:
– Operate only in daylight or when there is good
artificial light.
– Drive slowly and watch for holes or other hidden
hazards.
– Do not drive close to a sand trap, ditch, creek, or
other hazard.
– Reduce your speed when making sharp turns and
when turning on hillsides.
– Avoid sudden starts and stops.
– Before backing up, look to the rear and ensure that
no one is behind the machine.
– Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads.
Always yield the right-of-way.
• Stay away from the discharge opening when the
machine is operating. Keep all bystanders away from
the discharge opening and don’t direct discharge toward
bystanders.
• If the engine stalls or the machine 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.
• Do not take an injury risk! When a person or pet
appears unexpectedly in or near the operating area, stopoperation. Careless operation, combined with terrain
angles, ricochets, or improperly positioned guards can
lead to thrown object injuries. Do not resume operation
until the area is cleared.
• Lower the blower to the ground and remove the key
from the ignition switch whenever the machine is left
unattended.
Maintenance
• Remove the key from the ignition switch to prevent
accidental starting of the engine when servicing,
adjusting, or storing the machine.
• Perform only those maintenance instructions described
in this manual. If major repairs are ever needed or
assistance is desired, contact an Authorized Toro
Distributor.
3
Page 4
• Be sure that the machine is in safe operating condition
by keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight. Check all bolts
and nuts frequently to be sure that they are tightened to
specification.
• To ensure optimum performance and safety, always
purchase genuine Toro replacement parts and
accessories to keep the machine all Toro. Never use
“will-fit” replacement parts and accessories made by
other manufacturers. Look for the Toro logo to ensure
genuineness. Using unapproved replacement parts and
accessories could void the warranty.

and must be free of twists.
Grease Blower
Before the Debris Blower is operated, it must be greased to
assure proper lubricating characteristics: refer to
Lubrication section of manual. Failure to properly grease
the unit will result in premature failure of critical parts.
Discharged air has considerable force and could
cause injury or loss of footing.
• Stay away from the discharge opening when the
machine is operating.
• Keep bystanders away from the discharge
opening when the machine is running.
1. Practice blowing material. It is advisable to blow the
same direction the wind is blowing to prevent material
from blowing back into the cleared area.
Adjusting Castor Wheels
The castor wheel height is adjustable from 4 to 6–1/2
inches in 1/2 inch increments by adding or removing an
equal amount of spacers from each castor wheel. Adjust
castor height for different turf conditions.

Maintenance
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Greasing the Blower
The debris blower must be lubricated regularly. If machine
is operated under normal conditions, lubricate castor and
fan bearings and bushings with No. 2 general purpose
lithium base grease or molybdenum base grease, after every
8 hours of operation or daily, whichever comes first.
Lubricate fittings immediately after every washing,
regardless of the interval listed.
1. The debris blower has (4) bearings and bushings that
must be lubricated. The lubrication points are: castor
shaft bushings (2) and fan shaft bearings (2) (Fig. 17).

(Fig. 18).
2. Lower stand. Re–install pin through upper set of holes
in stand and tube. Secure pin.
8. Stay clear of lift arms and move traction unit away from
blower.
Servicing BumperBushings
After many hours of operation, the bushings pressed into
the top and bottom of the bumper will wear. To check the
bushings, move castor fork fore and aft and from side to
side. If castor spindle is loose in the bushings, bushings are
worn and must be replaced.
1. Start traction unit and raise blower to highest possible
position and turn off engine. Block up blower frame so
it cannot accidentally fall.
2. Remove locking cap and thrust washers from top of
castor spindle.
3. Pull castor spindle out of bumper. Allow thrust washers
to remain on bottom of spindle.
14
Page 15
4. Insert pin punch into top or bottom of bumper and drive
bushing out of tube (Fig. 19). Also drive other bushing
out of bumper. Clean inside of bumper to remove any
dirt.

Using a hammer and flat plate, drive bushings into
bumper.
6. Inspect castor shaft for wear and replace if damaged.
7. Push castor shaft through bushings and bumper. Slide
spacers onto shaft and secure with locking cap.
Servicing Castor Wheel And
Bearing
The castor wheel rotates on a high–quality roller bearing
and is supported by a spanner bushing. Even after many
hours of use, provided that the bearing was kept well
lubricated, bearing wear will be minimal. However, failure
to keep bearing lubricated will cause rapid wear. A wobbly
castor wheel usually indicates a worn bearing.
