Operator's Manual

6
– Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid
sudden stops and starts.
– When near or crossing roads, always yield the
right-of-way.
– Apply the service brakes when going downhill to
keep forward speed slow and to maintain control of
the machine.
• The grass baskets must be in place during operation of
the reels or thatchers for maximum safety. Shut the
engine off before emptying the baskets.
• Raise the cutting units when driving from one work
area to another.
• Do not touch the engine, muffler, or exhaust pipe while
the engine is running or soon after it has stopped
because these areas could be hot enough to cause burns.
• Stay clear of the rotating screen at the side of the engine
to prevent direct contact with your body or clothing.
• If the engine stalls or loses headway and cannot make it
to the top of a slope, do not turn the machine around.
Always back slowly, straight down the slope.
• When a person or pet appears unexpectedly in or near
the mowing area, stop mowing. Careless operation,
combined with terrain angles, ricochets, or improperly
positioned guards can lead to thrown object injuries. Do
not resume mowing until the area is cleared.
• Before getting off of the seat, move the functional
control lever to neutral (N), raise the cutting units and
wait for the reels to stop spinning. Set the parking
brake. Stop the engine and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
• Whenever the machine is left unattended, make sure
that the cutting units are fully raised and the reels are
not spinning, the key is removed from the ignition
switch, and the parking brake is set.
Maintenance and Storage
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search for
leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the cutting
units and attachments to the ground.
• Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a regular
basis. Tighten or repair them as needed.
• If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance
adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and any parts of
the body away from the cutting units, attachments, and
any moving parts, especially the screen at the side of the
engine. Keep everyone away.
• The engine must be shut off before checking the oil or
adding oil to the crankcase.
• To ensure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro
Distributor check the maximum engine speed with a
tachometer.
• If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is
desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
• Use only Toro-approved attachments and replacement
parts. The warranty may be voided if used with
unapproved attachments.
