Sound Pressure Vibration Level This unit has a sound pressure level at the operator’s ear of 90 Hand-Arm dBA, which includes an Uncertainty Value (K) of 1 dBA. Measured vibration level for right hand = 1.1 m/s The sound pressure level was determined according to the Measured vibration level for left hand = 3.9 m/s procedures outlined in EN 836.
Slope Indicator G011841 Figure 3 This page may be copied for personal use. 1. The maximum slope you can safely operate the machine on is 15 degrees. Use the slope chart to determine the degree of slope of hills before operating. Do not operate this machine on a slope greater than 15 degrees. Fold along the appropriate line to match the recommended slope.

Hour Meter Product Overview The hour meter records the number of hours the engine has operated. It operates when the engine is running. Use these times for scheduling regular maintenance (Figure 6). Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge is located with the hour meter, and the bars light up when the ignition switch is on (Figure 6).
A selection of Toro approved attachments and accessories is available for use with the machine to enhance and expand its capabilities. Contact your Authorized Service Dealer or Distributor or go to www.Toro.com for a list of all approved attachments and accessories. Specifications Note: Specifications and design are subject to change without notice.

A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can Adding Fuel damage property.
Checking the Engine-oil Level of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times. Before you start the engine and use the machine, check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to Checking the Engine-oil Filling the Fuel Tank Level.
Breaking in a New Machine New engines take time to develop full power. Mower decks and drive systems have a higher amount of friction when they are new, placing additional load on the engine. Allow 40 to 50 hours of break-in time for new machines to develop full power and best performance.
The use of protective equipment for eyes, ears, feet and head DANGER is recommended. Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can cause sliding and loss of control. Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death or drowning.
Operating the Operating the Throttle Mower-blade-control Switch The throttle control can be moved between Fast and Slow positions (Figure 15). (PTO) Always use the fast position when turning on the mower deck The blade-control switch (PTO) starts and stops the mower with the blade-control switch (PTO).
Operating the Ignition Switch 1. Turn the ignition key to the Start position (Figure 17). When the engines starts, release the key. Important: Do not engage starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start allow a 15 second cool-down period between attempts.
Starting and Stopping the Engine Starting the Engine 1. Raise the ROPS up and lock into place, sit on the seat and fasten the seat belt. 2. Move the motion controls to neutral-locked position. G008947 3. Set the parking brake; refer to Setting the Parking Figure 20 Brake.
• The blade-control switch (PTO) is disengaged. • The motion-control levers are in the neutral-locked position The safety-interlock system also is designed to stop the engine when the motion-control levers are moved from the locked position with the parking brake engaged or if you rise from the seat when the PTO is engaged.

Loading the Machine Use extreme caution when loading the machine onto a trailer or a truck. One full-width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is recommended instead of individual ramps for each side of the machine (Figure 35). The lower rear section of the machine frame extends back between the rear wheels and serves as a stop for tipping backward.
Check the cutter blades daily for sharpness, and for any wear or damage. File down any nicks and sharpen the blades as necessary. If a blade is damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement blade.
Every 500 hours • Adjust the caster pivot bearing. • Check the park brake adjustment. • Change the hydraulic filters and hydraulic oil when using Toro® HYPR-OIL™ 500 hydraulic oil (more often in dirty or dusty conditions). • Check the battery.
CAUTION If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously injure you or other bystanders. Remove the key from the ignition before you do any maintenance. Lubrication Where to Grease the Mower Service Interval: Every 50 hours—Grease the mower deck Greasing and Lubrication spindles.

Disengage the PTO, move the motion-control levers to the neutral-locked position, and set the parking brake. 2.
Note: The brake must be engaged and the motion-control levers must be out to start the engine. The operator does not have to be in the seat because of the jumper wire being used. Run the engine at full throttle and release the brake. 6.
Adjusting the Motion-control Damper The top damper mounting bolt can be adjusted to obtain a more desired motion-control lever resistance. See Figure 77 for mounting options. Figure 78 1. Flanged nut 2. Jam nut Figure 77 Right-hand motion control shown 1.
Hydraulic System Maintenance Servicing the Hydraulic System Hydraulic Oil Type: Toro ® HYPR-OIL ™ 500 hydraulic oil or Mobil ® 1 15W-50. Important: Use oil specified. Other fluids could cause system damage. Each Hydraulic System Oil Capacity: 1.5 L (1.59 US qt)
Page 56
Every 500 hours—Change the hydraulic filters and ® ™ hydraulic oil when using Toro HYPR-OIL hydraulic oil (more often in dirty or dusty conditions). To replace the hydraulic oil, remove the filters. Replace both at the same time. Refer to the oil specifications under Servicing the Hydraulic System for the correct oil.
Mower Deck Maintenance Leveling the Mower Deck Setting Up the Machine Note: Ensure the mower deck is leveled before matching the height-of-cut (HOC). 1. Position mower on a flat surface. 2. Disengage the blade control switch (PTO), move the motion control levers to the neutral locked position and set the parking brake.
Page 58
10. If the front deck links do not have enough adjustment to achieve accurate cut height , the single point adjustment can be utilized to gain more adjustment. 11. To adjust the single point system, loosen the two bolts at the bottom of the height-of-cut plate. Refer to Figure 85.
If a blade is damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement blade. For 2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving convenient sharpening and replacement, you may want to parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
Replace the blades if a solid object is hit, if the blade is out of balance or is bent. To ensure optimum performance and continued safety conformance of the machine, use genuine Toro replacement blades. Replacement blades made by other manufacturers may result in non-conformance with safety standards.
Page 61
2. Check the balance of the blade by putting it on a blade balancer (Figure 92). If the blade stays in a horizontal position, the blade is balanced and can be used. If the blade is not balanced, file some metal off the end of the sail area only (Figure 93).
Page 62
Installing the Blades Important: The right-hand blade on this mower deck is counter-rotating and uses a left-hand threaded blade bolt. Use Figure 94 for the correct placement of the mower blades. 1. Install the left and center blades, curved washers, and blade bolts to the spindle shafts (Figure 93 and Figure 94).
Removing the Mower Deck Before servicing or removing the mower deck, lock out the spring loaded deck arms. WARNING Deck lift arm assemblies have stored energy. Removing the deck with out releasing the stored energy can cause serious injury or death. Do Not attempt to disassemble the deck from the front frame without locking out the stored energy.
Cleaning Cleaning under the Mower Service Interval: Before each use or daily 1. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), move the motion-control levers to the neutral-locked position, and set the parking brake. 2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
