Using The Side Discharge; Operating With The Overheat Sensor; Transporting Machines - Toro Z580-D Z Master Operator's Manual

2. Rotate the by-pass valves counterclockwise 1 turn
to push. This allows hydraulic fluid to by-pass the
pump enabling the wheels to turn (Figure 31).
Important: Do not rotate by-pass valves more
than 1 turn. This prevents valves from coming
out of the body and causing fluid to run out.
3. Disengage parking brake before pushing.
Changing to Machine Operation
Rotate the by-pass valves clockwise 1 turn to operate
machine (Figure 31).
Note: Do not over tighten the by-pass valves.

Using the Side Discharge

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
3. Hydraulic pumps
DANGER
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.
• Never remove the grass deflector from the
mower because the grass deflector routes
material down toward the turf. If the
grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never try to clear the discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off
(PTO) to the off position, rotate the ignition
key to off and remove the key.
• Make sure the grass deflector is in the down
position.
Operating with the Overheat
Sensor
This machine has a sensor that will turn off the mower
deck when the engine overheats. When the engine
overheats, the audible alarm and light alarm will turn on
along with the mower deck turning off.
If the mower deck turns off automatically because
of overheating, the operator will be able to drive the
machine to a safe area and to a truck or trailer.
If the machine overheats, ensure the area around
the engine and radiator is clear of any debris. The
engine will need to be turned off and allowed to cool
down before the mower deck can be engaged. If the
engine continues to overheat, take your machine to an
Authorized Service Dealer.

Transporting Machines

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all
necessary lighting and marking as required by law.
Please carefully read all the safety instructions.
Knowing this information could help you, your family,
pets or bystanders avoid injury.
To transport the machine:
• Lock the brake and block the wheels.
