Important: Make sure to remove the key, as the fuel pump or accessories may run and cause the battery to lose charge. Driving the Machine The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place the throttle control in the F position for best performance.
Use the Diagnostic ACE display tool and overlay to help verify and correct electrical functions of the machine. Contact your Toro Distributor for assistance.
Checking the Interlock Switches The interlock switches prevent the engine from cranking or starting unless the traction pedal is in the N position EUTRAL and the PTO is disengaged. The engine should stop when you press the traction pedal when you are not sitting on the seat or if the parking brake is engaged.
LEDs are not correctly illuminated, this indicates an ECM problem. If this occurs, contact your Toro Distributor for assistance. Important: Do not leave the Diagnostic ACE display connected to the machine. It is not designed to withstand the environment of the everyday use of the machine.
Sharpen the blades as necessary. If a blade is ground speed as the load on the cutting blades increases; and damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a genuine Toro increase the ground speed as the load on the blades decreases.
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch. You must open both bypass valves. 3. Lift the seat. 4. Rotate each by-pass valve counterclockwise 1 turn (Figure 22).

Storing the Battery If you store the machine for more than 30 days, remove the battery and charge it fully. Either store it on a shelf or on the machine. Leave the cables disconnected if you store it on the machine. Store the battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the charge in the battery.
Drive System Cooling System Maintenance Maintenance Checking the Tire Pressure Cooling System Safety Service Interval: Every 50 hours CAUTION Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires. The Discharge of hot, pressurized coolant or touching a correct air pressure is 172 kPa (25 psi) in the rear tires and hot radiator and surrounding parts can cause severe 103 kPa (15 psi) in the front tires.
Brake Maintenance 3. Install the expansion-tank cap. Adjusting the Service Brakes Adjust the service brakes when there is more than 25 mm (1 inch) of free travel of the brake pedal, or when the brakes do not work effectively. Free travel is the distance that the brake pedal moves before you feel braking resistance.
Belt Maintenance 1. Loosen the 2 screws securing the parking-brake pawl to the frame (Figure 36). Checking the Alternator Belt Service Interval: Every 100 hours After the first 10 hours 1. Open the hood and secure the prop rod. 2. Check the tension of the alternator belt by pressing (Figure 37) midway between the alternator and the crankshaft pulleys with 10 kg (22 lb) of force.
