and right to check steering response. Then shut
engine off and check fluid levels, check for oil leaks,
loose parts and any other noticeable malfunctions.
Shut engine off and wait for all moving parts to
stop before checking for oil leaks, loose parts
or other malfunctions.
5. To stop engine, move throttle control backward to
SLOW position, move PTO switch to OFF position
and rotate ignition key to OFF. Remove key from
switch to prevent accidental starting.
Checking Interlock System
The purpose of the safety interlock system is to prevent
the engine from cranking or starting unless the traction
pedal is in neutral and the PTO switch is in the OFF
position. In addition, the engine will stop when the
PTO control is engaged or traction pedal is depressed
with operator off the seat or when parking brake is
engaged.
If safety interlock switches are disconnected
or damaged the machine could operate
unexpectedly causing personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock
switches daily and replace any damaged
switches before operating the machine.
1. Move PTO switch to OFF position and remove
foot from traction pedal so it is fully released.
2. Rotate the ignition key to START. Engine should
crank. If engine cranks, proceed to step 3. If engine
does not crank, there may be a malfunction in the
interlock system.
3. Raise off the seat and engage the PTO switch
while the engine is running. The engine should
stop within 2 seconds. If engine stops, the switch
is operating correctly; thus, proceed to step 4. If
engine does not stop, there is a malfunction in the
interlock system.
4. Raise off the seat and depress the traction pedal
while engine is running and the PTO lever is
disengaged. The engine should stop within 2
seconds. If engine stops, the switch is operating
correctly; thus, proceed to step 5 If engine does not
stop, there is a malfunction in the interlock system.
5. Engage the parking brake. Depress the traction
pedal while engine is running and the PTO lever
is disengaged. The engine should stop within 2
seconds. If engine stops, the switch is operating
correctly; thus, continue operation. If engine does
not stop, there is a malfunction in the interlock
system.
Pushing Or Towing the
Machine
In an emergency, the machine can be pushed or towed
for a very short distance. However, Toro does not
recommend this as standard procedure.
Important: Do not push or tow the machine
faster than 2 to 3 mph (3.2 to 4.8 Km/hr) because
transmission may be damaged. If the machine
must be moved a considerable distance, transport
it on a truck or trailer. Whenever machine is
pushed or towed, by-pass valve must be open.
1. Loosen the knob and remove the access cover at
the rear of the seat mounting plate (Figure 26).
1. Access cover knob
2. Depress and hold the pins located in the center of
the two (2) check valve assemblies in the top of the
transmission (Figure 27) while pushing or towing
the machine. Figure 27 is shown with seat and seat
mounting plate removed.
