Operating Tips - Toro 30839 Operator's Manual

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.

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
