This manual identifies potential hazards and has special
safety messages that help you and others avoid personal
injury and even death. Danger, Warning, and Caution are
signal words used to identify the level of hazard. However,
regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful.
Danger signals an extreme hazard that will cause serious
injury or death if you do not follow the recommended
precautions.
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.
Supervisor’s Responsibilities
• Ensure operators are thoroughly trained and familiar
with the Operator’s Manual and all decals on the
machine.
• Establish your own special procedures and work rules
for unusual operating conditions (e.g., slopes too steep
for machine operation, adverse weather conditions,
etc.).
Before Operating
• Read, understand and follow the instructions in the
Operator’s Manual and on the machine before starting.
Become familiar with all controls and know how to stop
quickly. A free replacement manual is available by

• Safety interlock switches are for the operators
protection. Disconnected or malfunctioning safety
interlock switches could allow the machine to operate in
an unsafe manner and may cause personal injury.
– Do not disconnect the safety interlock switches.
– Check the operation of the switches daily to be sure
the interlock system is operating correctly.
– If a switch is malfunctioning, replace it before
operating the machine.
– Replace switches every 2 years to be sure of
maximum safety.
• In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline
can burn you and others and cause property damage.
Caution must be used when storing or handling
gasoline.
– Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running or hot
or when machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may
build up and be ignited by a spark or flame source
many feet away. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the
fuel tank to prevent possibility of explosion.
– Always fill fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled
gasoline before starting engine.
– Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling gasoline
and fill tank to about 1 inch (25 mm) below the
filler neck.
– Store gasoline in a clean, safety approved container
and keep the cap in place on the container.
– Keep gasoline in a cool, well ventilated place; never
in an enclosed area such as a hot storage shed.
– To assure volatility, do not buy more than a 30 day
supply of gasoline.
While Operating
• Rotating parts can cause serious personal injury. Keep
hands and feet away from sweeper reels while machine
is running. Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away
from all moving parts to prevent injury. NEVER
operate the machine with covers, shrouds, or guards
removed.
• Do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
• Operator should be seated when starting the engine and
remain seated whenever the machine is in motion.
Operator should keep both hands on steering wheel
whenever possible.
• DON’T TAKE AN INJURY RISK! When a person or
pet appears unexpectedly in or near the sweeping area,
STOP SWEEPING. Careless operation, combined
with terrain angles, ricochets, or missing or damaged
guards, can lead to thrown object injuries. Do not
resume sweeping until area is cleared.
• NEVER carry passengers.
• ALWAYS look to the rear of machine before backing up
and assure no one is behind the machine.
• When. starting the engine:
– Sit on operator’s seat and engage parking brake.
– Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and Reel PTO
Engagement handle is in the OFF position
(disengaged).
– After engine is started, release parking brake and
keep foot off traction pedal. Machine must not
move. If movement is evident, the neutral
mechanism is adjusted incorrectly; shut off engine
and adjust until machine does not move when
traction pedal is released. (Refer to Adjusting
Traction Pedal, (page 27.) If engine does not crank,
check interlock switch connections.
• Do not touch engine, muffler, or muffler shield while
engine is running or soon after it has stopped because
these areas may be hot enough to cause a burn.
• Tip over can cause serious injury or death.
– NEVER operate on steep slopes.
– Sweep slopes up and down, never across the face.
– When going uphill or downhill, do not stop or start
suddenly.
– Stay alert for holes in the terrain or other hidden
hazards. To avoid tipping or loss of control, do not
drive close to a ditch, creek, or drop off.
– 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.
• Using the machine demands attention. Failure to
operate machine safety may result in an accident, tip
over of the machine, and possible serious injury or
death. Drive carefully. To prevent tipping or loss of
control:
– Operate only in daylight or when there is good
artificial light.
– Drive slowly.
– Watch for holes or other hazards.
– Use care when backing machine.
– Do not drive close to a sand trap, ditch, tall curb,
creek, or other hazard.
– Reduce speed when making sharp turns and when
turning on a hillside.
4
– Avoid sudden stops and starts.
– Do not go from reverse to forward or forward to
reverse without first coming to a complete stop.
– Do not attempt sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers or
other unsafe driving actions that may cause loss of
control.
– Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads.
Always yield the right–of–way.
• 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, possibly resulting in personal
injury or death.
• Before getting off seat:
– Move traction pedal to neutral position and remove
foot from pedal.
Maintenance
• Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate
skin and do serious damage. Keep body and hands away
from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find
hydraulic leaks. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene
may result.
• Accidental starting of engine by others while
maintenance is being performed could cause injury.
Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine:
– Stop engine.
– Set parking brake.
– Remove key from ignition switch.
– Set parking brake and set Reel PTO Engagement
handle to the OFF position (disengaged).
– Shut engine off and remove key from ignition
switch. Wait for all movement to stop before getting
off seat.
• Whenever the machine is left unattended, be sure
engine is stopped, Reel PTO Engagement handle is in
OFF position (disengaged), and key is removed from
ignition.
While Dumping
• Moving hopper door and dumping debris can cause
serious injury. Stay clear of hopper while machine is
backing up or dumping.
• Keep bystanders a safe distance from hopper when
operating to dump debris or when opening and closing
hopper door.
• Under rare circumstances wet, compressed grass
clippings may generate heat. Always empty the hopper
before storing the unit.
• Raising and lowering of hopper door could cause injury
to bystanders or pets. Keep bystanders and pets a safe
distance from hopper when operating to dump debris or
when opening and closing hopper door.
• To avoid the risk of electrical shock, dump hopper only
in area clear of overhead wires and other obstructions.
• NEVER dump hopper on a slope. Always dump hopper
on level ground.
• Set Reel PTO Engagement handle to OFF (disengaged)
before dumping.
• Unexpected movement of the machine caused by an
improperly adjusted traction pedal may cause personal
injury. When foot is removed from traction pedal, the
machine should stop; it must not move in either
direction. It machine does move, do not operate until
neutral assembly has been repaired or adjusted.
• Accidental movement of machine due to parking brake
not being set may cause personal injury. The hydrostatic
transmission will not, at any time, act as a parking brake
for the machine. To engage parking brake, pull back on
lever. Whenever the engine is shut off, the parking
brake must be engaged to prevent accidental movement
of the machine.
• Engine must be running so final adjustment of the
traction adjustment cam can be performed. To guard
against possible personal injury, keep hands, feet, face,
and other parts of the body away from the muffler, other
hot parts of the engine, and other rotating parts.
• Perform only those maintenance instructions described
in this manual. If major repairs are ever needed or
assistance desired, contact an Authorized TORO
Distributor.
• Failure to maintain proper torque could result in failure
or loss of wheel and may result in personal injury.
– Torque wheel motor axle nuts to 200–400 ft.–lb.
– Torque rear wheel lug nuts to 45–55 ft.–lb.
• To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine free of
excessive grease, grass, leaves, and accumulations of
dirt.
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight, and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
5
• Performing maintenance on machine not properly
supported with jack stands may cause machine to fall
and could cause injury.
• Do not over speed the engine by changing the governor
settings. Maximum engine rpm with no load is 3000
rpm. To ensure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized
TORO Distributor check maximum engine speed with a
tachometer.
• Engine must be shut off before checking oil or adding
oil to the crankcase.
• If wheel is removed for maintenance or repairs on the
wheel, brake, or hydraulic wheel motor, when
remounting wheel ALWAYS ensure that the wheel
motor axle nut is torqued to 200–400 ft.–lb.
• To be sure of optimum performance and safety, always
purchase genuine TORO replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by
other manufacturers could be dangerous. Altering this
machine in any manner may affect the machine’s
operation, performance, or durability, or its use may
result in injury or death. Such use could void product
warranty of The Toro Company.
• NEVER attempt to service the gas springs located on
hopper and hopper door. These springs are under high
loads and improper handling ran result in bodily harm.
Special tools are required to replace worn or damaged
gas springs; contact an Authorized TORO Distributor.

Before Operating
Grass Baffle
The sweeper comes with a hopper baffle extension
installed. This extension greatly enhances the filling
capacity of the hopper. You may find that the particular
debris that you are sweeping tends to fall back into the
hopper inlet and clogs the reels. When this occurs removal
of the extension should alleviate hopper clogging. It you
are sweeping fine dry material such as thatch or grass
clippings, the baffle extension should be used. When
sweeping larger debris such as oak leaves, you may prefer
to remove the extension.
Qty.Use
Check Tire Pressure
Check tire pressure every eight hours or daily to assure
proper levels.
1. With lower air pressure, turf compaction and tire marks
are minimized. Optimum pressure is 10–15 psi on front
and rear tires. Lower pressure should not be used for
heavy payloads or tire damage may result. Do not
exceed the maximum pressure. Maximum air pressure
in front tire is 22 psi and rear tires is 24 psi.
Important When replacing tires, use only replacements
approved for the Turf Sweeper. Use of tires not approved
may cause turf damage.
1. To remove the hopper baffle extension, remove the (5)
bolts. Store the fasteners and the extension in a safe
location.
10
Check Crankcase Oil
The engine is shipped with 2.1 quarts (2 liters) of oil (with
filter) in the crankcase; however, level of oil must be
checked before the engine is first started.
1. Position the sweeper on a level surface and make sure
engine is off.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Push
dipstick down into the tube and ensure it is fully seated.
Pull dipstick out of the tube and check level of oil.

Figure 1
1. Dipstick2. Filler cap
3. Install dipstick into tube.
4. If oil is low, use a clean rag to clean area around oil fill
cap. Remove cap and add oil until level is up to, but not
over, the F mark on the dipstick. Add the oil slowly and
check the level often during this process. DO NOT
OVERFILL. The engine requires high–quality detergent
oil having the American Petroleum Institute (API)
“service classification” SG or SH. Oil viscosity
(weight) must be selected according to average
anticipated ambient temperature. Temperature/viscosity
recommendations are as follows:
A. Above 0_ F (–18_ C)–Use l0W–30 or 10W–40.
B. Below 32_ F (0_ C)–Use 5W–20 or 5W–30.
Note: Using other than service class SG or SH oil or
extending oil change intervals longer than recommended
can cause engine damage.

Fill Fuel Tank 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 CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAG
• Caution must be used when storing or handling
gasoline.
• Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running or
hot or when machine is in an enclosed area.
Vapors may build up and be ignited by a spark
or flame source many feet away.
• To prevent the possibility of explosion, DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the fuel tank.
• Always fill fuel tank outside and wipe up any
spilled gasoline before starting engine.
• Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling gasoline
before starting engine. Fill tank to about I inch
(25 mm) below the filler neck.
• Store gasoline in a clean, safety approved
container and keep the cap in place on the
container.
• Keep gasoline in a cool, well ventilated place,
never in an enclosed area such as a hot storage
shed.
• To assure volatility, do not buy more than a
30–day supply of gasoline.
• Gasoline is a fuel for internal combustion
engines; therefore, do not use it for any other
purpose. Since many children like the smell of
gas, keep it out of their reach because the fumes
are explosive and dangerous to inhale.
Fuel Type – For best results use only clean, fresh,
UNLEADED gasoline with a pump sticker octane rating of
87 or higher. In countries using the Research method, it
should be 90 octane minimum.
THE TORO COMPANY STRONGLY
RECOMMENDS THE USE OF FRESH, CLEAN,
UNLEADED REGULAR GRADE GASOLINE IN
TORO GASOLINE–POWERED PRODUCTS.
UNLEADED GASOLINE BURNS CLEANER,
EXTENDS LIFE, AND PROMOTES GOOD
STARTING BY REDUCING THE BUILD–UP OF
COMBUSTION CHAMBER DEPOSITS.
E.
Important Check level of oil after every 5 hours of
operation or daily. Change oil and filter after every 50
hours of operation. Change oil and filter more
frequently when engine is operated in extremely dusty
or dirty conditions.
Note: Gasoline/Alcohol Blends – Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl
alcohol, 90% unleaded gasoline by volume) may be used.
Do not use other gasoline/alcohol blends.
Note: Gasoline/Ether Blends–Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether
(MTBE) and unleaded gasoline blends (up to a maximum
of 15% MTSE by volume) may be used. Do not use other
gasoline/ether blends.
