Toro 07363 Operator's Manual page 17

• Shift only on level ground.
• Depress clutch pedal fully.
• Move lever fully forward for High and fully rearward
for Low.
HIGH is for higher speed driving on level, dry surfaces
with light loads.
LOW is for low speed driving. Use this range when
greater than normal power or control is required. For
example, steep grades, difficult terrain, heavy loads, slow
speed but high engine speed (spraying).
Important: There is a location between HIGH and
LOW in which the transaxle is in neither range.
This should not be used as a neutral position
because the vehicle could move unexpectedly if the
HIGH–LOW shifter is bumped and the gear shift
lever is in gear.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch (Figure 10), used to start and stop
the engine, has three positions: OFF, RUN and START.
Rotate key clockwise — START position — to engage
starter motor. Release key when engine starts. The key
will move automatically to the ON position. To shut
engine off, rotate key counterclockwise to OFF position.

Hour Meter
Indicates the total hours of machine operation. The
hour meter (Figure 10) starts to function whenever the
key switch is rotated to "ON" position or if engine is
running.
3. 3rd high lockout switch
3rd High Lockout Switch
Moving switch (Figure 10) to slow position and
removing key will prevent use of third gear when in the
High range. Engine will shut off if shift lever is moved
to third gear when in High range. Key is installed with
teeth pointing downward. Push key in to turn. Key is
removable in either position.
Light Switch
Toggle switch (Figure 11) to activate headlights. Push
to turn lights "ON".
Oil Pressure Warning Light
Light glows (Figure 11) if engine oil pressure drops
below a safe level while engine is running. If light
flickers or remains ON, stop vehicle, turn off engine
and check oil level. If oil level was low, but adding oil
does not cause light to go out when engine is restarted,
turn engine off immediately and contact your local Toro
distributor for assistance.
To check operation of warning lights:
1. Apply parking brake.
2. Turn ignition key to "ON", but do not start engine.
The oil pressure light should glow red. If light does
not function, either a bulb is burned out or there is a
malfunction in the system which must be repaired.
Note: If engine was just turned off, it may take 1 to 2
minutes for light to come on.
Fuel Gauge
Shows amount of fuel in tank. Operates only when
ignition switch is in "ON" position (Figure 11).
