5. Turn the key to the RUN position but DO NOT start
the machine.
6. The current counterbalance setting will flash on the
diagnostic light. The system allows for 3 settings.
7. The counterbalance setting is changed by using the
Raise-Lower Joystick. To change the counterbalance
setting proceed as follows:
Moving the joystick forward to the lower position
and releasing it will lower the counterbalance
setting, thus increasing the effective weight of each
cutting deck in the turf
Moving the joystick rearward to the raise position
and releasing it will increase the counterbalance
setting, thus decreasing the effective weight of each
cutting deck in the turf
After the joystick is released, the diagnostic light
will flash the new counterbalance setting (1, 2, or 3).
8. When the desired setting is attained, rotate the key to
the Off position.
9. Unplug the jumper wires, install the cap on the wires
and put the wires back into the compartment.
10. Replace and latch the access cover.
Note: The machine cannot be operated while in the
counterbalance adjustment mode. Once the adjustment
has been completed, move the machine to a test area
and operate the machine with the new setting. The
new counterbalanced setting may change the effective
height of cut.

Storage

Preparing the Traction Unit

1. Thoroughly clean the traction unit, cutting decks, and
engine.
2. Check the tire pressure. Inflate all traction unit tires to
12 to 15 psi (83 to 103 kPa).
3. Check all fasteners for looseness and tighten them as
necessary.
4. Grease all grease fittings and pivot points. Wipe up
any excess lubricant.
5. Lightly sand and use touch-up paint on painted areas
that are scratched, chipped, or rusted. Repair any dents
in the metal body.
6. Service the battery and cables as follows:
A. Remove the battery terminals from the battery
posts.
B. Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with a wire
brush and baking soda solution.
C. Coat the cable terminals and battery posts with
Grafo 112X skin-over grease (Toro Part No.
505-47) or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
D. Slowly recharge the battery every 60 days for 24
hours to prevent lead sulfation of the battery.

Preparing the Engine

1. Drain the engine oil from the oil pan and replace the
drain plug.
2. Remove and discard the oil filter. Install a new oil filter.
3. Refill the oil pan with designated quantity of motor oil.
4. Start the engine and run it at idle speed for
approximately two minutes.
5. Stop the engine.
6. Thoroughly drain all fuel from the fuel tank, lines, and
the fuel filter/water separator assembly.
7. Flush the fuel tank with fresh, clean diesel fuel.
8. Secure all fuel system fittings.
9. Thoroughly clean and service the air cleaner assembly.
10. Seal the air cleaner inlet and the exhaust outlet with
weatherproof tape.
11. Check the antifreeze protection and add as needed for
expected minimum temperature in your area.
