from the green. Determine the cause of the alarm and
correct the problem.
8. Finish cutting the green by mowing the outer periphery.
Be sure to change the direction of cutting from the
previous mowing. Always keep weather and turf
conditions in mind and be sure to change the direction
of mowing from the previous cutting. Replace the flag.
9. At the end of the periphery cut, momentarily pull
back on the Raise/Lower Mow Control lever to shut
the reels off without raising them. Continue moving
forward until the reels stop rotating, then drive off
the green and raise the reels. This will help prevent
dribbling grass onto the green while raising the reels.
10. Empty the grass baskets of all clippings before
transporting to the next green. Heavy wet clippings
place an undue strain on the baskets and will add
unnecessary weight to the machine, thereby increasing
the load on the engine, hydraulic system, brakes, etc.

Transporting the Machine

Make sure the cutting units are in the full up position. Move
the functional control lever to the transport position. Use the
traction pedal to slow the machine while going down steep
hills to avoid loss of control. Always approach rough areas
at a reduced speed and cross severe undulations carefully.
Familiarize yourself with the width of the machine. Do not
attempt to pass between objects that are close together so
that costly damage and down time can be prevented.
Inspecting and Cleaning After
Mowing
At the completion of the mowing operation, thoroughly
wash the machine with a garden hose without a nozzle so
excessive water pressure will not cause contamination and
damage to the seals and bearings. After cleaning, inspect the
machine for possible hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear
to hydraulic and mechanical components, and the cutting
units for sharpness. Also, lubricate the mow and lift pedal
and brake shaft assembly with SAE 30 oil or spray lubricant
to deter corrosion and help keep the machine performing
satisfactorily during the next mowing operation.

Towing the Machine

In case of an emergency the machine can be towed for a short
distance (less than 0.4 km (1/4 mile)). However, Toro does
not recommend this as standard procedure.
Important: Do not tow the machine faster than 3-5
km/h (2-3 mph) because the drive system may be
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 and rotate it so
that the slot is vertical (Figure 39).

2. Before starting the engine, close the bypass valve by
rotating it so that the slot is horizontal (Figure 39). Do
not start the engine when the valve is open.
