Associate Remote Control And Base Unit; Servicing The Spark Plugs - Toro 44538 Operator's Manual

3. Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket on
the replacement filter (Figure 22).
4. Install the replacement oil filter to the filter adapter,
turn the oil filter clockwise until the rubber gasket
contacts the filter adapter, then tighten the filter an
additional 2/3 to 1 turn (Figure 22).
5. Fill the crankcase with the proper type of new oil; refer
to Servicing the Engine Oil.
6. Run the engine for about 3 minutes, stop the engine,
and check for oil leaks around the oil filter.
7. Check the engine oil level and add oil if needed.
Associate Remote Control and
Base Unit
Important: Make sure to read the entire procedure
before attempting the Association process.
The remote control must establish communications with
the base unit before the system can be used. The remote
control is associated to the system base unit before leaving
the factory. This is done using the Associate procedure.
In situations where it is necessary to re-establish remote
control-to-base unit communications (example: introducing
a new or spare remote control to an existing base unit), the
following Associate procedure must be performed.
Note: Associating the remote control to a different base
unit will disassociate that remote control from the original
base unit.
1. Remove power from the base unit.
2. Stand near the base unit in unobstructed, clear
line-of-sight with the remote control in hand.
3. Simultaneously press and hold the Associate and
Disassociate buttons. TX lights steady Green.
4. Continue to hold both buttons until the LINK LED
begins flashing Amber.
Note: If the flashing LINK LED goes solid, the
Association procedure is aborted and must be started
anew to establish the communication link.
5. When the LINK LED flashes Amber, release the two
buttons. All three LEDs flash allowing two (2) seconds
for the operator to perform the next step.
Note: If the next button press is not performed
within the two (2) seconds, the Association procedure
is aborted and must be started anew to establish the
communication link.
6. Press and hold the Associate button. The RX LED
goes out, the TX LED lights steady green, and the
LINK LED lights steady amber.
7. Apply power to the base unit while continuing to hold
the Associate button.
The remote control and base unit begin to establish a
communication link while the Associate button is held.
Once the process is complete, the Amber LINK LED
remains solid, the RX LED stops flashing Red and the
TX LED lights steady Green (button being held) until
the button is released, upon which time TX begins
flashing Green indicating that the remote control is
transmitting.
8. Release the Associate button.
RX extinguishes and TX flashes Green for a brief time
and then it too goes out.
The system is ready for use with that particular remote
control.

Servicing the Spark Plugs

Ensure that the air gap between the center and side electrodes
is correct before installing the spark plugs. Use a spark plug
wrench for removing and installing the spark plugs and a
gapping tool/feeler gauge to check and adjust the air gap.
Install new sparks plugs if necessary.
Type: Champion® RC12YC, Champion® Platinum 3071 or
equivalent
Air Gap: 0.76 mm (0.030 inch)
Checking the Spark Plugs
Service Interval: Every 200 hours
1. Look at the center of the spark plugs (Figure 24). If
you see light brown or gray on the insulator, the engine
is operating properly. A black coating on the insulator
usually means that the air cleaner is dirty.
