Starting And Shutting Off The Engine - Toro Reelmaster 7000-D Operator's Manual

•
Be aware that there is no rollover protection when
a folded roll bar is in the down position.
•
Check the area that you will be mowing and never
fold down a folding roll bar in areas where there
are slopes, drop-offs, or water.
Slope Safety
•
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control
and rollover accidents, which can result in severe
injury or death. The operator is responsible for
safe slope operation. Operating the machine on
any slope requires extra caution.
•
The operator must evaluate the site conditions
to determine if the slope is safe for machine
operation including surveying the site. Always
use common sense and good judgment when
performing this survey.
•
The operator must review the slope instructions
listed below for operating the machine on slopes
and review the conditions in which the machine is
being operated to determine whether the machine
can be operated in the conditions on that day and
at that site. Changes in the terrain can result in a
change in slope operation for the machine.
•
Avoid starting, stopping or turning the machine on
slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or
direction. Make turns slowly and gradually.
•
Do not operate a machine under any conditions
where traction, steering or stability is in question.
•
Remove or mark obstructions such as ditches,
holes, ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden hazards.
Tall grass can hide obstructions. Uneven terrain
could overturn the machine.
•
Be aware that operating the machine on wet
grass, across slopes or downhill may cause the
machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the
drive wheels may result in sliding and a loss of
braking and steering.
•
Use extreme caution when operating the machine
near drop offs, ditches, embankments, water
hazards or other hazards. The machine could
suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge
or the edge caves in. Establish a safety area
between the machine and any hazard.
•
Identify hazards at the base of the slope.
If there are hazards, mow the slope with a
pedestrian-controlled machine.
•
If possible, keep the cutting unit(s) lowered to the
ground while operating on slopes. Raising the
cutting unit(s) while operating on slopes can cause
the machine to become unstable.
•
Use extreme caution with grass collection systems
or other attachments. These can change the
stability of the machine and cause a loss of control.
Starting and Shutting Off
the Engine
Starting the Engine
Important:
Bleed the fuel system if any of the
following situations have occurred:
•
The engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
•
Maintenance has been performed upon the fuel
system components.
1. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and
ensure that the pedal is in the N
Note:
Ensure that the parking brake is engaged.
2. Move the engine-speed switch to the L
position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the R
Note:
The glow indicator will light.
4. When the glow indicator dims, turn the ignition
key to the S
TART
5. Release the key immediately when the engine
starts and allow it to return to the R
6. Adjust the engine speed.
Important:
Do not run the starter motor
more than 15 seconds at a time or premature
starter failure may result. If the engine fails
to start after 15 seconds, turn the key to
the O position, recheck the controls and
FF
procedures, wait 15 additional seconds, and
repeat the starting procedure.
When the temperature is less than -7°C (20°F),
the starter motor can be run for 30 seconds on
then 60 seconds off for 2 attempts.
CAUTION
Contact with moving parts could result
in injury.
Shut off the engine and wait for all
moving parts to stop before checking
for oil leaks, loose parts, and other
malfunctions.
Shutting Off the Engine
Important:
Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes
before shutting it off after a full-load operation.
This allows the turbocharger to cool down before
shutting off the engine. Failure to do so may lead
to turbocharger trouble.
