First-Time Operation
7. Close and latch the engine hood.
INITIAL PRE-OPERATING CHECK
Note: Inspect the areas beneath mowers to insure they
are clear of debris. Clear the area, if necessary, before
starting.
1. Sit on the seat, place the shift selector in "Neutral",
check the mow and lift pedals to ensure they are
level with one another.
2. Keep your foot off traction pedal, make sure it is in
the neutral position and move the throttle control to
the full FAST position.
3. Start the engine and allow it to thoroughly warm
up. Then check the machine as follows:
A. With the throttle control in the FAST position,
depress the mow pedal; the cutting units should
drop and all reels should turn.
B. Depress and hold the lift pedal down; the cut-
ting units should stop and raise to full transport
position.
Note: Stop the engine and ensure the lip of each
basket clears the reel during operation. If contact is
noted, re-adjust the pull arms.
C. Depress the brake pedal to keep the Greens
master 3000-D from moving. Operate the trac-
tion pedal through forward and reverse posi-
tions.
D. Continue the procedures for 1-2 minutes, then
neutralize the traction lever and the mow and
lift pedals. Lock the parking brake, stop the
engine and remove the ignition key. Check for
oil leaks. If leaks are evident, check the
hydraulic fittings for tightness. If oil leaks con-
tinue, contact your local TORO Distributor for
assistance and, if necessary, replacement parts.
IMPORTANT: The motor or wheel seals may
show some trace of oil for a brief period of time
until the Greensmaster 3000-D break-in period
has been completed .

Note: Since the Greensmaster 3000-D is new and
the bearings and reels are tight, it is necessary to
use the FAST throttle control position for this
check. A fast throttle setting may not be required
after the break-in period.
CHECKING INTERLOCK
SWITCHES
Perform the following three system checks daily to be
sure the interlock system is operating correctly.
1. Sit on the seat. Engage the parking brake and fully
depress the lift pedal and release it. Move the shift
selector to the #1 and #2 positions while, at the
same time, trying to start the engine in each posi-
tion. The engine should not crank, which means
the traction switch on the valve bank is functioning
correctly (Fig. 13). If the engine did not crank,
proceed to step 2. If the engine cranked, there may
be a malfunction in the safety interlock system.
1. Traction switch
2. Sit on the seat. Engage the parking brake, fully
depress the lift pedal and release it. Move the shift
selector to neutral and try to start the engine. The
engine should start and continue to run. This
means the traction switch and mow/lift switch on
the valve bank are functioning correctly. Go to step
3. If the engine cranked, but did not start, there is a
malfunction. It is not, however, in the interlock
system.
