Dumping The Hopper; Tilting The Mower - Toro Z-Master Operator's Manual

Operation

Dumping the Hopper

The hopper is equipped with a hopper full sensor that
checks for a full condition. When the alarm buzzer
sounds the hopper needs to be emptied.
1. Move the power take off (PTO) switch to off.
2. Move the traction unit so the hopper door is
where you want to dump the clippings, then
move the traction controls to neutral and set the
parking brake.
IMPORTANT: The hopper is interlocked
with the engine ignition and the engine will
stop if these steps are not followed before
dumping the hopper or getting out of the seat.
3. Unhook the door latches on the rear sides and
the hopper latch on the front left side of the
hopper (Fig. 23).
4. Open the door and lift up on the hopper at the
lower front and dump the clippings (Fig. 23).
