Check The Torque Of The Wheel Nuts; Starting And Stopping The Engine; Pushing Or Towing The Machine - Toro 30864 Operator's Manual

1. Hydraulic tank cap
3. Remove cap/dipstick from filler neck and wipe it with
a clean rag. Insert dipstick into filler neck; then remove
it and check level of fluid. Fluid level should be within
operating range on dipstick. Do not overfill.
4. If level is low, add appropriate fluid to raise level to
full mark.
5. Install cap/dipstick onto filler neck.
Check the Torque of the Wheel
Nuts
Torque the wheel nuts to 94 to 122 N-m (70 to 90 ft-lb) after
1-4 hours of operation and again after 10 hours of operation.
Torque every 250 hours thereafter.
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts
could result in personal injury.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Important: The fuel system will automatically bleed
itself when any of the following situations occur:
•
Initial start up of a new machine.
•
The engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
•
Maintenance has been performed upon the fuel system
components.
Starting the Engine
1. Sit on the seat, keep your foot off of the traction pedal
so that it is in Neutral, engage the parking brake, set
the engine speed switch to the Mid position, and
ensure that the Enable/Disable switch is in the Disable
position.
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position.

3. When the glow indicator dims, turn the ignition key to
the Start position. Release the key immediately when
the engine starts and allow it to return to the Run
position. Allow engine to warm up (without load), then
move the throttle control to the desired position.
Stopping the Engine
1. Move all controls to Neutral, set the parking brake,
move the engine speed switch to the low idle position
and allow the engine to reach low idle speed.
Important: Allow the engine to idle for 5
minutes before shutting it off after a full load
operation. Failure to do so may lead to trouble on
a turbo-charged engine.
2. Turn the key to the Off position and remove it from
the switch.
Pushing or Towing the
Machine
In an emergency, the machine can be moved by actuating the
bypass valve in the variable displacement hydraulic pump and

pushing or towing the machine.

Important: Do not push or tow the machine faster than
3-4.8 km/h (2-3 mph) because internal transmission
damage may occur. The bypass valve must be open
whenever the machine is pushed or towed.
1. The bypass valve is located on the left side of the
hydrostat (Figure 14). Rotate the bolt 1–1/2 turns to
open and allow oil to bypass internally. Because fluid
is bypassed, the machine can be moved slowly without
damaging the transmission.
1. Bypass valve
2. Close the bypass valve before starting the engine.
However, do not exceed 7-11 N-m (5-8 ft.-lb) torque
to close the valve.
