Operating The Machine - Toro MultiPro 1750 Operator's Manual

•
Lower a folding roll bar temporarily only when
necessary. Do not wear the seat belt when the
roll bar is folded down.
•
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. You are responsible for safe slope operation.
Operating the machine on any slope requires extra
caution.
•
Review the slope instructions listed below for
operating the machine on slopes and to determine
whether you can operate the machine in the
conditions on that day and at that job site.
Changes in the terrain can result in a change in
slope operation for the machine.
•
Determine if the slope is safe for machine
operation, including surveying the site. Always
use common sense and good judgment when
performing this survey.
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine
on slopes. Travel up and down on slopes. Avoid
making sudden changes in speed or direction.
If you must turn the machine, turn it slowly and
gradually downhill, if possible. Use care when
reversing the machine.
•
Do not operate a machine when you are uncertain
about the traction, steering, or stability.
•
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
surfaces, across slopes, or downhill may cause
the machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the
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.
•
Use extra care while operating the machine with
attachments; they can affect the stability of the
machine.
•
If the engine stalls or you begin to lose momentum
while climbing a hill, gradually apply the brakes
and slowly back straight down the hill.
•
Always keep the transmission in gear (if applicable)
when you drive the machine down a slope.
•
Do not park the machine on an incline.
•
The weight of the material in the tank can change
the handling of the machine. To avoid loss of
control and personal injury, follow these guidelines:
– When operating with a heavy load, reduce your
speed and allow for sufficient braking distance.
Do not suddenly apply the brakes. Use extra
caution on slopes.
– Liquid loads shift, especially while turning,
going up or down slopes, suddenly changing
speeds, or while driving over rough surfaces.
Shifting loads can cause the machine to tip
over.

Starting the Engine
1. Sit in the operator's seat, insert the key into the
ignition switch, and rotate the key clockwise to
the R position.

position.
4. If the engine is cold, pull the choke knob up.
Important:
engine is warm.
5. Turn the key to the S
engine starts.
Important:
Do not hold the key in the S
position for more than 10 seconds. If the
engine has not started after 10 seconds, wait
1 minute before trying again. Do not attempt
to push or tow the sprayer to start the engine.
6. Once the engine starts, push the choke knob
down slowly.
Driving the Machine
1. Release the parking brake.
2. Fully press the clutch pedal.
3. Move the gear shift lever to first gear.
4. Release the clutch pedal smoothly while
pressing the accelerator pedal.
5. When the machine gains enough speed, remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal, fully press
the clutch pedal, move the gear shift lever to the
next gear and release the clutch pedal while
