This manual is intended as a service and repair manual
only. The safety instructions provided herein are for
troubleshooting, service, and repair of the TimeCutter®
SW, the TimeCutter® SWX zero radius turn mowers.
or even death.
Think Safety First
Avoid unexpected starting of engine…
Always turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug
wire(s) before cleaning, adjusting, or repair.
Avoid lacerations and amputations…
The TimeCutter SW, and TimeCutter SWX
operator’s manuals contain safety information and
operating tips for safe operating practices. Operator’s
manuals are available online through your Toro parts
source or:

Avoid injury from batteries…
Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Battery gases can
explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks and ames away from
the battery.
1
Stay clear of all moving parts whenever the engine is
running. Treat all normally moving parts as if they were
moving whenever the engine is running or has the
potential to start.
Avoid burns…
Do not touch the engine, mufer, or other components,
which may increase in temperature during operation,
while the unit is running or shortly after it has been
running.
Avoid res and explosions…
Avoid spilling fuel and never smoke while working with
any type of fuel or lubricant. Wipe up any spilled fuel
or oil immediately. Never remove the fuel cap or add
fuel when the engine is running. Always use approved,
labeled containers for storing or transporting fuel and
lubricants.
Avoid asphyxiation…
Never operate an engine in a conned area without
proper ventilation.
Avoid injury due to inferior parts…
Use only original equipment parts to ensure that
important safety criteria are met.
Avoid injury to bystanders…
Always clear the area of bystanders before starting or
testing powered equipment.
Avoid injury due to projectiles…
Always clear the area of sticks, rocks or any other debris
that could be picked up and thrown by the powered
equipment.
Avoid modications…
Never alter or modify any part unless it is a factory
approved procedure.
Avoid unsafe operation…
Always test the safety interlock system after making
adjustments or repairs on the machine. Refer to the
Electrical section in this manual for more information.

Torque Specications
Recommended fastener torque values are listed in the
following tables. For critical applications, as determined
by Toro, either the recommended torque or a torque
that is unique to the application is clearly identied and
specied in the service manual.
These torque specications for the installation and
tightening of fasteners shall apply to all fasteners
which do not have a specic requirement identied
in the service manual. The following factors shall be
consid ered when applying torque: cleanliness of the
fastener, use of a thread sealant (e.g. Loctite®), degree
of lubrication on the fastener, presence of a prevailing
torque feature, hardness of the surface underneath of
the fastener’s head, or similar condition which affects the
installation.
As noted in the following tables, torque values should
be reduced by 25% for lubricated fasteners to achieve
the similar stress as a dry fastener. Torque values may
also have to be reduced when the fastener is threaded
into aluminum or brass. The specic torque value should
be determined based on the aluminum or brass material
strength, fastener size, length of thread engagement,
etc.
Fastener Identication
Inch Series bolts and Screws
(A) Grade 1 & 2
(B) Grade 5
(C) Grade 8
The standard method of verifying torque shall be per-
formed by marking a line on the fastener (head or nut)
and mating part, then back off fastener 1/4 of a turn.
Measure the torque required to tighten the fastener until
the lines match up.

Note: Reduce torque values listed in the table above
by 25% for lubricated fasteners. Lubricated fasteners
are defined as threads coated with a lubricant such as
oil, graphite, or thread sealant such as Loctite.
Note: Torque values may have to be reduced when
installing fasteners into threaded aluminum or brass.
The specific torque value should be determined based
on the fastener size, the aluminum or base material
strength, length of thread engagement, etc.
