INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
WHILE OPERATING
9. Sit on the seat when starting the engine and
operating the machine.
10. Always make sure seat pivot retaining pin is
installed.
11. Before starting the engine:
A. Engage parking brake.
B. Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and PTO
is in DISENGAGE position.
C. After engine is started, release parking brake
and keep foot off traction pedal. Machine must not
move. If movement is evident, the neutral return
mechanism is adjusted incorrectly. Shut engine off
and adjust until machine does not move when
traction pedal is released.
12. Do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous
and could possibly be deadly.
13. Maximum seating capacity is one person.
Therefore, never carry passengers.
14. Check carefully for overhead clearances before
driving under any objects.
15. The grass deflector or complete blower assembly
must always be installed on cutting unit.
16. Operator must be skilled and trained in how to drive
on hillsides. Failure to use caution on slopes or hills
may cause loss of control and vehicle to tip or roll
possibly resulting in personal injury or death.
17. Traverse slopes carefully. Do not start or stop
suddenly when traversing slopes or when traveling
uphill or downhill.
18. If engine stalls or machine loses headway and
cannot make it to the top of a slope, do not turn
machine around. Always back slowly straight down the
slope.
19. Using the machine demands the operator's
complete attention. To prevent loss of control:
A. Operate only in daylight or when there is good
artificial light.
B. Drive slowly.
C. Avoid sudden stops and starts.
D. Look behind machine before backing up.
E. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
F. Do not drive close to a sand trap, ditch, creek,
or hazard.
G. Reduce speed when making sharp turns and
when turning on a hillside.
H. The cutting deck must be lowered when going
down slopes for steering control.
20. The grass deflector must always be installed and in
lowest position on the cutting unit when blower
assembly is removed. This product is designed to drive
objects into the ground where they lose energy quickly
in grassy areas. However. don't take an injury risk!!
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 area is cleared.
21. Never raise the cutting unit while the blades or
other parts are rotating.
22. If cutting blades strike a solid object or the machine
vibrates abnormally, disengage PTO, move throttle to
SLOW, set parking brake, and shut engine off. Remove
key from switch to prevent possibility of accidental
starting. Check cutting unit, blower assembly and
traction unit for damage and defective parts. Repair
any damage before restarting the engine and
operating the cutting unit. Assure cutting unit blades
are in good condition and blade bolts are torqued to
proper specifications (See Cutting Deck Operator's
Manual).
23. If the cutting unit discharge area or blower
assembly ever plugs, disengage PTO and shut engine
off before removing the obstruction.
24. To stop machine, remove foot from traction pedal
and use brakes. Gradually reversing the traction pedal
can provide additional braking.
25. Do not touch engine, muffler, or radiator while
engine is running or soon after it has stopped. These
areas could be hot enough to cause a burn.
26. Before getting off the seat:
A. Move traction pedal to neutral position and
remove foot from pedal.
B. Set the parking brake and disengage the
PTO.
C. Shut the engine off and remove key from
ignition switch. Wait for all movement to stop
before getting off the seat.
27. Never operate collection system with hopper
covers open.
MAINTENANCE
28. Remove key from ignition switch to prevent
accidental starting of the engine when servicing,
adjusting, or storing the machine.
29. Stay away from hopper and hopper linkage during
operation.
30. Do not walk under hopper or service machine
unless hopper is fully raised and empty, with hydraulic
lines disconnected at quick couplers or fully lowered.
31. Do not remove any hydraulic line unless hopper is
fully lowered or fully raised and empty.
32. If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is
desired, contact an Authorized TORO Distributor.
33. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and
accumulations of dirt.
34. Make sure machine is in safe operating condition
by keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight. Check all
cutting unit blade mounting bolts frequently to assure
they are torqued to proper specifications (See Cutting
Deck Operator's Manual).
35. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight,
and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.
36. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for
leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate skin and do serious
damage. If fluid is ejected into the skin, it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor
familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may result.
37. Before disconnecting or performing any work on
the hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be
relieved by stopping engine and lowering implement to
the ground.
38. If the engine must be running to perform
maintenance or an adjustment, keep clear of PTO
shaft, cutting unit blades, and other moving parts.
39. At the time of manufacture, the machine conformed
to safety standards in effect for riding mowers. To
ensure optimum performance and continued safety
certification of the machine, use genuine TORO
replacement parts and accessories. Replacement
parts and accessories made by other manufacturers
may result in non-conformance with the safety
standards, and the warranty may be voided.
