DANGER
Low tire pressure decreases machine side hill
stability. This could cause a rollover, which may
result in personal injury or death.
Do not under-inflate the tires.
Torquing the Wheel Nuts
Service Interval: After the first hour
After the first 10 hours
Every 200 hours
Torque the wheel nuts to 61 to 88 N-m (45 to 65 ft-lb).
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts
could result in personal injury.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Starting the Engine
1. Be sure that the parking brake is set and the cutting
unit drive switch is in the Disengage position.
2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make
sure that the pedal is in the neutral position.
3. Move the throttle lever to the 1/2 throttle position.
4. Insert the key into the switch and rotate it to the Start
position to engage the starter motor. Release the key
when the engine starts. The key will move automatically
to the On/Run position.
Important: To prevent overheating of the starter
motor, do not engage the starter longer than 15
seconds. After 15 seconds of continuous cranking,
wait 60 seconds before engaging the starter motor
again.
Stopping the Engine
Move the throttle control to the Idle position, move the
cutting unit drive switch to Disengage, and rotate the starter
key to Off. Remove the key from the switch to prevent
accidental starting.
Checking the Interlock System
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
CAUTION
If safety interlock switches are disconnected or
damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly
causing personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock switches
daily and replace any damaged switches before
operating the machine.
1. Make sure that all bystanders are away from the area of
operation. Keep hands and feet away from the cutting
units.
2. While sitting on the seat, the engine must not start
with either the cutting unit switch engaged or the
traction pedal engaged. Correct the problem if it is not
operating properly.
3. While sitting on the seat, put the traction pedal in
neutral, the parking brake off, and the cutting unit
switch in the Off position. The engine should start.
Rise from the seat and slowly press the traction pedal,
the engine should stop in one to three seconds. Correct
problem if it is not operating properly.
Note: The machine is equipped with an interlock switch on
the parking brake. The engine will stop if the traction pedal is
pressed with the parking brake engaged.
Towing the Traction Unit
In case of an emergency, the machine can be towed for a
short distance; however, Toro does not recommend this as
a standard procedure.
Important: Do not tow the machine faster than 3 to
4 km/h (2 to 3 MPH) because the drive system may
become damaged. If the machine must be moved a
considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
1. Locate the bypass valve on the pump (Figure 31) and
rotate it 90°.
