Operating - Toro 03540 Operator's Manual

Operation
ACE must be connected and observed during a
false alarm. Once the ignition key is turned to
OFF, the TurfDefender™ will reset.
5. Your Authorized Toro Distributor has
equipment to analyze system problems.
IMPORTANT: The Diagnostic ACE display
must not be left connected to the machine. It is
not designed to withstand the environment of
the machine's every-day use. When finished
using the Diagnostic ACE, disconnect it from
the machine and reconnect its connectors to the
harness connectors. The machine will not
operate without the connectors installed on the
harness. Store the Diagnostic ACE in a dry,
secure location not on the machine.

different functions of the solenoids in the hydraulic
manifold. Each solenoid must be energized to allow
the function to occur.

OPERATING

CHARACTERISTICS
CAUTION
When operating the machine, always use the seat
belt and roll-over protection system together.
Familiarization—Before mowing grass, practice
operating the machine in an open area. Start and
stop the engine. Operate in forward and reverse.
Lower and raise the cutting units and engage and
disengage the reels. When you feel familiar with the
machine, practice operating up and down slopes at
different speeds.
The brakes can be used to assist in turning the
machine. However, use them carefully, especially on
soft or wet grass conditions because the turf may be
torn accidentally. Individual turning brakes may
also be used to help maintain traction. For example,
in some slope conditions, the uphill wheel slips and
loses traction. If this situation occurs, depress the
uphill turn pedal gradually and intermittently until
the uphill wheel stops slipping, thus, increasing
traction on the downhill wheel.
Warning System—If a warning light comes on
during operation, stop the machine immediately and
correct the problem before continuing operation.
Serious damage could occur if the machine is
operated with a malfunction.
Mowing—Start the engine and move the throttle to
FAST so the engine is running at maximum speed.
Move the ENABLE/DISABLE switch to ENABLE
and use the LOWER MOW/RAISE lever to control
the cutting units (front cutting units are timed to
lower before the rear cutting units). To move
forward and cut grass, press the traction pedal
forward. Maintain a speed which does not result in
the reel control light illuminating. Gradually
increase or decrease traction speed to ensure proper
clip.
Transport—Move the ENABLE/DISABLE switch
to DISABLE and raise the cutting units to the
transport position. Be careful when driving between
objects so you do not accidentally damage the
machine or cutting units. Use extra care when
operating the machine on slopes. Drive slowly and
avoid sharp turns on slopes to prevent roll overs.
