Starting The Vehicle - Toro UTV500AAC00000 Operator's Manual

Starting the Vehicle

Always start with the vehicle on a flat,
level surface. Carbon monoxide poison-
ing can kill you, so keep the vehicle out-
side while it's running. Follow these
steps to start it up:
1. Step into the vehicle and sit down; then
fasten the operator seat belt and the
passenger seat belts (if applicable) and
strap on your approved helmet and
require your passengers to do the same
(if applicable). Check that the occupant
side restraints are secured in place.
! WARNING
Falling from a moving vehicle could
result in serious injury or death.
Always fasten your seat belt securely
and ensure the passenger seat belt is
properly and securely fastened prior
to operating or riding in this vehicle.
2. Shift into park.
3. Depress the brake pedal.
4. Turn the ignition switch clockwise to
the START position; then when the
engine starts, release to the RUN
position. Do not increase engine RPM
above idle.
CAUTION
Increasing engine RPM above idle
while in Park will cause belt damage.
CAUTION
Do not run the starter motor for more
than eight seconds per starting
attempt. The starter motor may over-
heat causing severe starter motor
damage. Allow 15 seconds between
starting attempts to allow the starter
motor to cool.
5. Let the engine warm up.
Shifting the
Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT)
CAUTION
Always come to a complete stop
before attempting to shift from one
range to the other or into reverse or
park. Always shift on level ground or
apply the brakes.

NOTE: The CVT is fully automatic
and shifts as a function of engine
RPM and vehicle loading.
1. To select high range from park, move
the shift lever upward through reverse
and neutral until the letter "H" is dis-
played on the liquid crystal display
(LCD).
2. To select low range from high range,
move the shift lever upward one posi-
tion until the letter "L" is displayed
on the LCD.

NOTE: The high range is for nor-
mal driving with light loads. The low
range is for carrying heavy loads or
trailer towing. Compared to HIGH
range, the LOW range position pro-
vides slower speed and greater
torque to the wheels.
