•
Shift only on level ground.
•
Press clutch pedal fully.
•
Move the lever fully forward for High and fully rearward
for Low.
High is for higher speed driving on level, dry surfaces with
light loads.
Low is for low speed driving. Use this range when greater
than normal power or control is required. For example, steep
grades, difficult terrain, heavy loads, slow speed but high
engine speed (spraying).
Important: There is a location between High and Low
in which the transaxle is in neither range. Do not use
this position as a neutral position because the vehicle
could move unexpectedly if the High–Low shifter is
bumped and the gear shift lever is in gear.
Ignition Switch
Use the ignition switch (Figure 6) to start and stop the engine.
It has three positions: Off, On/Preheat, and Start. Rotate
the key clockwise to the Start position to engage the starter
motor. Release the key when the engine starts. The key will
move automatically to the On position. To shut the engine
off, rotate the key counterclockwise to the Off position.

Hour Meter
Indicates the total hours of machine operation. The hour
meter (Figure 6) starts to function whenever the key switch is
rotated to the On position or if the engine is running.

Third High Lockout Switch
Move the 3rd high lockout switch (Figure 6) to the slow
position and remove the key to prevent the use of third gear
when in the High range. The engine will shut off if the shift
lever is moved to third gear when in High range. The key is
removable in either position.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
The oil pressure warning light glows (Figure 6) if the engine
oil pressure drops below a safe level while the engine is
running. If the light flickers or remains on, stop the vehicle,
turn off the engine, and check the oil level. If the oil level was
low, but adding oil does not cause the light to go out when
the engine is restarted, turn the engine off immediately and
contact your local Toro distributor for assistance.
Check the operation of warning lights as follows:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition key to the On/Preheat position, but
do not start the engine. The oil pressure light should
glow red. If the light does not function, either a bulb
is burned out or there is a malfunction in the system
which must be repaired.
Note: If engine was just turned off, it may take 1 to 2
minutes for the light to come on.
Low Oil Pressure Shut Down
If the engine oil pressure drops below a safe level, for more
than 10 seconds, the engine will shut down. Contact your
local Toro distributor for assistance.
Glow Plug Indicator
Glow plug indicator (Figure 6) will glow red when the glow
plugs are activated.
Important: The glow plug indicator will turn on, for an
additional 15 seconds, when the switch returns to the
On position.
Coolant Temperature Gauge and Light
Registers the coolant temperature in the engine. Operates
only when the ignition switch is in On position (Figure 6).
The indicator light will illuminate blinking red if the engine
overheats.
Charge Indicator
The charge indicator illuminates when the battery is being
discharged. If the light illuminates during operation, stop the
vehicle, turn off the engine and check for possible causes,
such as the alternator belt (Figure 6).
Important: If the alternator belt is loose or broken,
do not operate the vehicle until adjustment or repair is
