Operating The Parking Brake - Toro Z286E Operator's Manual

Using the Hour Meter
The hour meter records the number of hours the engine
has operated. It operates when the engine is running. Use
these times for scheduling regular maintenance.

Using the Malfunction Indicator Light
The malfunction indicator light lets the user know there is
a problem with the fuel injection system.
If the malfunction indicator light (MIL) illuminates,
during operation, the electronic control unit (ECU) has
detected a problem or fault in the electronic fuel injection
(EFI) system.
Once the MIL illuminates, initial trouble shooting checks
should be made. Refer to Troubleshooting on page 53
under the MIL section.
If these checks do not correct the problem, further
diagnosis and servicing by an Authorized Service Dealer
is necessary.
Switching the Fuel Tanks
The unit has two fuel tanks. One tank is on the left side
and one on the right side. Each tank connects to the fuel
shut off valve in the control panel. From there a common
fuel line leads to the engine (Fig. 3).
To use the right side fuel tank rotate the fuel shut off valve
a 1/4 turn to the left from the off location. This uses fuel
from the right hand tank only. When the right hand fuel
tank is empty, move the fuel shut off valve 1/4 turn to the
left from the right hand tank position. This uses fuel from
the left hand tank.
Close fuel shut off valve, on front panel before
transporting or storing machine.

Note: If the machine runs out of fuel, the fuel injection
system may need the air bled out of the system. Contact

an Authorized Service Dealer for this procedure.
