Operation

Know how to stop the machine and engine quickly.

Check the safety interlock switches daily for proper

operation. If a switch should fail, replace the switch

before operating the machine. After every two years,

replace all interlock switches in the safety system,

regardless if they are working properly or not.

Before starting the engine, engage the parking brake,

put the traction pedal in neutral, and the reel drive is

disengaged.

Using the machine demands attention. To prevent loss

of control:

– Do not drive close to sand traps, ditches, creeks,

steep hillsides, or other hazards.

– Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid

sudden stops and starts.

Do not touch the engine, muffler, exhaust pipe, or

hydraulic tank while the engine is running or soon after

it has stopped because these areas could be hot enough

to cause burns.

If a cutting unit strikes a solid object or vibrates

abnormally, stop immediately, turn the engine off, wait

for all motion to stop, and inspect the machine for

damage. A damaged reel or bedknife must be repaired

or replaced before operation is continued.

Before getting off of the seat, move the traction pedal to

neutral, set the parking brake, disengage the cutting

units, and wait for the reels to stop. Stop the engine and

remove the key from the ignition switch.

Hills over 15 degrees should be mowed up and down,

not side to side.

Mowing hills may be dangerous. Hills over 20 degrees

generally should not be mowed unless special

safeguards, skills, and conditions exist.

For steering control, the cutting units must be lowered

when going down slopes.

Use the reverse pedal for braking.

Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads.

Always yield the right of way.

Raise the cutting units when driving from one work

area to another.

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 to the ground.

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. Keep everyone away.

Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor

settings. To ensure safety and accuracy, have an

Authorized Toro Distributor check the maximum engine

speed.

The engine must be shut off before checking the oil or

adding oil to the crankcase.

If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is

desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.

To make sure of optimum performance and continued

safety certification of the machine, use only genuine

Toro replacement parts and accessories. Replacement

parts and accessories made by other manufacturers

could be dangerous, and such use could void the

product warranty.
