swing slightly left, then right. This will assist in getting
the machine more quickly aligned for the next pass.
Follow the same procedure for turning in the opposite
direction. It is a good practice to try to make as short
of a turn as possible. However, turn in a wider arc
during warmer weather to minimize the possibility of
bruising the turf.

2. Cut grass on left
Note: Due to the nature of the power steering system,
the steering wheel will not return to its original position
after a turn has been completed.
Important: The machine should never be stopped
on a green with the cutting unit reels operating
as damage to the turf may result. Stopping on a
wet green with the machine may leave marks or
indentations from the wheels.
6. If the leak detector alarm sounds while cutting on a
green, immediately raise the cutting units, drive directly
off of the green and stop the machine in an area away
from the green. Determine the cause of the alarm and
correct the problem.
7. 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.
8. 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.

Operating the Leak Detector
Alarm
The leak detector alarm may sound for one of the following
reasons:
•
A leak of 118-177 ml (4 to 6 ounces) has occurred.
•
The oil level in the main reservoir is reduced by 118-177
ml (4 to 6 ounces) due to contraction of the oil by cooling.
If the alarm sounds, it should be turned off as quickly as
possible and inspected for leaks. If the alarm sounds while
operating on a green it may be appropriate to drive off the
green first. The source of the leak should be determined and
repaired before continuing operation. If a leak is not found,
and a false leak is suspected, move the ignition switch to the
Off position and allow the machine to stand for 1-2 minutes
to allow the oil levels to stabilize. Then start the machine and
operate in a non-sensitive area to confirm no leak exists.
False alarms, due to oil contraction, may be caused by
extended idling of the machine after normal operation. A
false alarm may also occur, if the machine is worked at a
reduced workload after an extended period of a heavier
workload. To avoid false alarms, turn the machine off rather
than idling for extended periods.

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 brakes 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.
Cleaning and Inspecting the
Machine
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 Traction Unit

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.
