Operation
1. Engine over-ride button
Mowing—When approaching the area to mow, position the
ground speed selector in LOW RANGE and release it. The
switch lever will return to neutral and the High Range light
will go out. Move the throttle lever to FAST and lower the
cutting units. Pull the sleeve of the deck drive PTO switch
up, position it in the ENGAGE position and release it. The
lever will return to the neutral position and the PTO
automatically engage. Depress the traction pedal slowly to
begin cutting operation.
Note: After lowering the mowers, do not allow the levers to
snap back to neutral. This could allow the levers to go past
neutral, lock the cutting units in a non-float mode and
prevent them from following turf contours.
Should either outboard cutting unit contact an immovable
object while mowing, the mower lift-arm latch assembly
absorbs the impact and breaks away. This allows the cutting
unit to swing rearward. Should this occur, stop the machine.
Fully raise the cutting unit, then lower it to cutting position.
This will allow the lift-arm latch assembly to return to its
normal configuration. Be sure to inspect the cutting unit for
damage and repair it as necessary before resuming
operation.
Caution: This product may exceed noise levels of 85
dB(A) at the operator position. Ear protectors are
recommended for prolonged exposure to reduce the
potential of permanent hearing damage.
The individual wheel brakes can be used to assist turning
the machine. However, use them carefully, especially on
soft or wet turf because it may be torn accidentally. The
brakes are also beneficial to maintain traction; for example,
in some slope conditions, the uphill wheel may slip and lose
traction. If this occurs, gradually depress the uphill brake
pedal until the uphill wheel stops slipping, thus increasing
traction on the downhill wheel.
To stop mowing, depress the brake pedal to stop and

disengage the cruise control (if used), move the PTO switch
to DISENGAGE and release it (the switch returns to
neutral), then fully raise the cutting units.
High-Range Ground Speed Operation—Toro
recommends HIGH RANGE ground speed operation be
performed only on roads with the cutting units in fully
raised position. Start the machine in LOW RANGE, then
shift to HIGH RANGE. The HIGH RANGE indicator light
will turn ON, indicating the machine is in the HIGH
RANGE mode. To cease HIGH RANGE operation, remove
your foot from the pedal and apply the brakes. Move the
throttle lever to SLOW and position the ground speed
selector in LOW RANGE. If the engine begins to labor
while climbing an incline, ease off on the traction pedal and
shift to LOW RANGE. This will prevent overload of the
engine and hydraulic system.
Cruise Control Operation—While operating the machine
at the desired ground speed, turn the cruise control switch
to ON and press the cruise control actuating button. The
traction pedal will be held in its position and a constant
ground speed will be maintained. A light on the steering
column indicates the cruise control is in operation. Ground
speed can be changed by over-riding the traction pedal. The
pedal will maintain its new position when the over-riding
force is released.
To stop cruise control operation: Turn the cruise control
switch to the OFF position or depress the service brake.
Note: Hold the traction pedal in position when stopping
cruise control operation; otherwise the machine will stop
abruptly due to hydrostatic braking action.
If it is an emergency and becomes necessary to stop
suddenly while in cruise control, depress the service brake
pedal. This breaks the electrical circuit, returns the traction
pedal to neutral, and stops the machine.
Stopping the Machine—To stop the machine and cease
operation, take your foot off the traction pedal and apply the
brakes. Move the throttle lever to SLOW, the ground speed
selector to LOW RANGE and the deck lift controls to
neutral. Switch the cruise control to OFF, set the parking
brake and turn the ignition key to OFF. Remove the key if
the machine is to be left unattended.
