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
2
(C) Grade 8
The standard method of verifying torque shall be performed 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.
Metric Bolts and Screws

RHandLHNeutralSwitch
Purpose
Used to ensure the motion control handles are in neutral
to start the unit. It is activated by moving the motion
control handles to the neutral position (handles outward).
Location
The RH and LH Neutral Switches are located in the
fender/control arm pivot area. The RH and LH switches
are serviceable by removing the control cover fastener
and the control cover (A) (Fig. 118 and Fig. 119).
How it Works
This single pole plunger (normally open) type switch
has two terminals. When the motion control handles are

Parking Brake Switch
Purpose
The Parking Brake Switch is part of the safety interlock
system.
The parking brake switch circuit can:
• Prevent the engine from cranking if parking brake
is not engaged.
• Prevent the engine from cranking if a control
handle is not in the neutral position.
• Turn the engine OFF if a control handle is moved
out of neutral with the brake engaged.
Location
ELECTRICAL
The Parking Brake Switch is located in the control box
assembly, near the parking brake lever. Remove LH
control cover (A) for better access (Fig. 122 and
Fig. 123).
Fig. 122PICT-3033
A
Fig. 123 PICT-2010
How it Works
This double pole plunger type switch has four terminals.
For engine START, it is used to ensure the park brake
is in the ON position. At the same time it allows battery
voltage to ow through the safety circuit.
When the park brake is released, it bypasses both the
neutral switches, as long as the operator is sitting in the
seat to maintain current for the safety circuit.
Park Brake ON:
• Normally Open contacts are closed – Battery
voltage to kill relay coil and fuel solenoid, through
motion control neutral switches.
• Operator must be in seat.
ParkBrakeOFF(enginerunning):
• Normally closed contacts are closed – Battery
voltage directly to kill relay coil and fuel solenoid,
neutral switches NOT in circuit.
• Operator must be in seat.

StarterSolenoid&StartingSystem
Purpose
The solenoid’s purpose is a remote switch to connect
the battery to the starter motor on the engine when the
ignition switch is turned to “START”. The solenoid is
used to protect the ignition switch from the high current
drawn by the starter motor.
Location
The starter solenoid is located behind the operator’s
seat, near the fuse block (Fig. 126).
StarterSolenoidTesting(solenoidonly)
1. Disconnect solenoid from the wiring harness.
2. With a multimeter (ohms setting), check to ensure
that terminals “c” and “d” are open (no continuity).
3. Apply +12 VDC to terminal “a” and ground terminal
“b”. Terminals “c” and “d” should now be closed
(continuity) (Fig. 127).
Fig. 126PICT-3023
HowItWorks(solenoidonly)
The solenoid has two primary parts. One, a coil of wire
is wrapped around an iron core. Whenever 12 volts is
applied to the coil, it becomes a magnet. The other part
is a bar type switch. Because it has a large contact area
with the contact terminals, it can easily handle the high
current loads required by the starter motor of the engine.
When 12 volts is applied to the coil, it becomes an electromagnet. This quickly pulls the contact bar toward the
contacts and closes the switch. When power is removed
from the coil, the spring loaded bar returns to its
“normally open” position. The solenoid closes and opens
the switch very quickly. This minimizes the “arcing” that
can damage other types of switches.

The ignition switch is protected because only a small
amount of current is needed to activate the coil.

ELECTRICAL
StarterSolenoidCircuit&Operation
The starter solenoid B+ (battery positive) input is
controlled by the ignition switch when in the START
position. The starter solenoid B- (battery negative) is
controlled by the Kill Relay.
StartingSystemSchematic
The Kill Relay will only ground and activate the starter
solenoid and allow the engine to start when:
- The key is in the start position.
- Proper battery voltage is present at the key
switch, kill relay, and starter solenoid
- Proper ground is present at the battery, chassis,
and kill relay.
- The PTO switch is OFF, supplying battery voltage
to the Park Brake Switch.
- Both handles are in the neutral position and both
neutral switches are CLOSED, supplying battery
voltage to the control side of the kill relay.
Note: The engine will not crank over to start when
the PTO switch is ON.

Electric PTO Clutch
Purpose
The clutch electrically controls the engagement and
disengagement of the PTO pulley.
Location
The electric clutch is located on the PTO end of the
engine crankshaft.
How It works
The PTO clutch is composed of three major compon-
ents; the eld, clutch plate, and friction plate. The clutch
plate always turns with the engine. The eld is a coil of
wire on an iron core, which becomes an electro magnet
when power is applied.
The friction plate is the only piece that can slide up and
down on the crankshaft axis. It is normally spring-loaded
so that it is not in contact with the clutch plate and is
pressed against the brake material opposite the clutch.
When power is applied, the friction plate is drawn toward
the clutch plate and the two rotate as one.
Testing
If the electric PTO clutch is not engaging or is suspect ed as a cause of electrical problems, use the
troubleshooting steps. These procedures will help you
determine if the clutch has failed or is the cause of the
elec trical problem.
