Operating Tips - Toro 30839N Operator's Manual

•
(–) Indicates a circuit closed to ground. – LED ON
•
(O) Indicates a circuit open to ground or de–energized
– LED OFF
•
(+) Indicates an energized circuit (clutch coil, solenoid, or
start input) LED ON.
•
A Blank indicates a circuit that is not involved with the
logic.
To troubleshoot, turn on the key without starting the engine.
Identify the specific function that does not work and work
across the logic chart. Inspect the condition of each input
LED's to ensure it matches the logic chart.
If the input LED's are correct, check the output LED. If the
output LED is illuminated but the device is not energized,
measure available voltage at the output device, continuity of
the disconnected device, and potential voltage on the ground
circuit (floating ground). Repairs will vary depending on your
findings.

Operating Tips

General Tips
DANGER
The mower has a unique traction system that will
allow the machine to move forward on side hills,
even if the uphill wheel should come off of the
ground. If this should happen, the operator or any
bystanders can be seriously injured or killed in a
rollover.
The slope angle at which the machine will tip is
dependent on many factors. Among these are:
mowing conditions such as wet of undulating turf,
speed (especially in turns), position of the cutting
units (with Sidewinder), tire pressure, and operator
experience.
At side hill angles of 20 degrees or less, the risk of
a rollover is low. As the slope angle increases to a
recommended maximum limit of 25 degrees, the
risk of a rollover increases to a moderate level. Do
not exceed a 25 degree side hill slope angle because
the risk of a rollover and serious injury or death is
very high.
To determine which hills or slopes you may safely
operate on, a site survey of the mowing area must
be done. When performing this site survey, always
use common sense and take into consideration the
turf condition and the rollover risk. To determine
which hills or slopes may be safely operated on,
use the inclinometer provided with each machine.
To perform a site survey, lay a 4 ft 2x4 (1.25 meter
plank) on the slope surface and measure the angle
of the slope. The 2x4 will average the slope but will
not take into consideration dips or holes which
can cause a sudden change in side hill angle. The
maximum side hill angle should not be greater than
25 degrees.
Additionally, the machine is equipped with an
angle indicator mounted on the steering tube. This
indicates the side hill angle the machine is on and
identifies the recommended maximum limit of 25
degrees.
Always wear your seat belt.
•
Practice operating the machine and become thoroughly
familiar with it.
•
Start the engine and run it at half idle until it warms up.
Push the throttle lever all the way forward, lift the cutting
units, disengage the parking brake, press the forward
traction pedal, and carefully drive to an open area.
