Operating Tips - Toro 30856 Operator's Manual

2. Move key switch to "ON" and ensure the red
"power" LED is illuminated.
3. Move all input switches to ensure all LED's change
state.
4. Position input devices at appropriate position to
achieve the appropriate output. Use the following
logic chart to determine the appropriate input
condition.
5. If specific output LED is illuminated without
appropriate output function, check output harness,
connections, and component. Repair as required.
Note: - Indicates a circuit closed to ground. - LED ON
O Indicates a circuit open to ground or de-energized - LED OFF
+ Indicates an energized circuit (clutch coil, solenoid, or start input) LED ON.
" " A Blank indicates a circuit that is not involved with the logic.
To troubleshoot, turn on the key without starting
the engine. Identify the specific function that does
not work and work across the logic chart. Inspect
the condition of each input LED's to ensure it
matches the logic chart.
If the input LED's are correct, check the output
LED. If the output LED is illuminated but the
device is not energized, measure available voltage at
the output device, continuity of the disconnected
device, and potential voltage on the ground circuit
(floating ground). Repairs will vary depending on
your findings.

Operating Tips

Mow When Grass is Dry
Mow either in the late morning to avoid the dew, which
causes grass clumping, or in late afternoon to avoid the
damage that can be caused by direct sunlight on the
sensitive, freshly mowed grass.
6. If specific output LED is not illuminated, check
both fuses.
7. If specific output LED is not illuminated and inputs
are in appropriate condition, install new SCM and
determine if fault disappears.
Each row (across) in the logic chart below identifies
input and output requirements for each specific
product function. Product functions are listed in
the left column. Symbols identify specific circuit
condition including: energized to voltage, closed to
ground, and open to ground.
Select the Proper Height-of-Cut Setting
to Suit Conditions
Remove approximately 1 in. (25 mm) or no more than
1/3 of the grass blade when cutting. In exceptionally
lush and dense grass, you may have to raise the
height-of-cut to the next setting.
Mow at Proper Intervals
Under most normal conditions you will need to mow
approximately every 4-5 days. But remember, grass
grows at different rates at different times. This means
that in order to maintain the same height-of-cut, which
is a good practice, you will need to cut more frequently
in early spring; as the grass growth rate slows in mid
summer, cut only every 8-10 days. If you are unable to
mow for an extended period due to weather conditions
or other reasons, mow first with the height-of-cut at a
high level; then mow again 2-3 days later with a lower
height setting.
Always Mow with Sharp Blades
A sharp blade cuts cleanly and without tearing or
shredding the grass blades like a dull blade. Tearing and
shredding causes the grass to turn brown at the edges
