Corrective Action
1. Inspect the traction push/pull cable
and override assembly under the tiller
handle.
2. Replenish, if necessary.
3. Close the valve.
4. Adjust the belt tension.
1. Hold the lift toggle switch until the slip
clutch in the actuator can be heard
ratcheting and the spindle lift arms are
nearly vertical with the rear axle spindle
tipped away from the engine.
2. Replenish, as necessary.
3. Close the valve.
4. Adjust the belt tension.
5. Inspect the traction push/pull cable
and override assembly under the tiller

2. Replenish, if necessary.
3. Check the choke connections and
operation. Regulate the choke until the
engine is warm when starting a cold
engine.
4. The oil pressure switch is bypassed
during start, but must activate to protect
the engine while running.
5. Multiple start attempts may be required
to trip the oil pressure switch.
1. Put the throttle in the FAST position
when aerating.
2. Adjust the carburetor fast setting to
3450-3550 RPM.
3. Fuel is contaminated, there is
a plugged fuel filter or air filter,
or there is a bad spark plug.
Have the system serviced by an
Authorized Toro Distributor.
1. Correct the traction bail position.
2. Adjust the switch tab until the red
traction light is OFF in neutral.
3. Check the battery.
4. Check the circuit breaker and electrical
connections.
