Rollover Protection System (ROPS)
Safety
•
Do not remove the ROPS from the machine.
•
Ensure that the seat belt is attached and that you can
release it quickly in the event of an emergency.
•
Always wear your seat belt when the ROPS is up.
•
Check carefully for overhead clearances, such as branches,
doorways, and electrical wires, before driving the machine
under them. Do not contact them.
•
Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by thoroughly
inspecting it periodically for damage and keeping all the
mounting fasteners tight.
•
Replace a damaged ROPS. Do not repair or revise it.
•
Any alterations to a ROPS must be approved by The
Toro® Company.
Slope Safety
•
Slow down the machine and use extra care on hillsides.
Travel in the recommended direction on hillsides. Turf
conditions can affect the stability of the machine.
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on a
slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and
proceed slowly straight down the slope.
•
Do not turn the machine sharply. Use care when reversing
the machine.
•
When operating the machine on a slope, always keep all
cutting units lowered.
•
Avoid turning the machine on slopes. If you must turn,
turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
•
Use extra care while operating the machine with
attachments; they can affect the stability of the machine.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Starting the Engine
Important: The fuel system automatically bleeds itself
when any of the following situations occur:
•
Initial start up of a new machine.
•
The engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
•
Maintenance has been performed upon the fuel system
components.
1. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and ensure
that it is in neutral. Ensure that the parking brake is set.
2. Move the engine-speed switch to the L
position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the R
4. When the glow indicator dims, turn the ignition key
5. Allow engine to warm up at mid speed (without load),
Important: Allow engine to idle for 5 minutes before
shutting it off after a full-load operation. Failure to do
so may lead to turbo-charger trouble.
Stopping the Engine
Important: Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes before
shutting it off after a full-load operation. This allows the
turbocharger to cool down before shutting the engine
off. Failure to do so may lead to turbocharger trouble.
Note: Lower the mower decks to the ground whenever you
park the machine. This relieves the hydraulic load from the
system, prevents wear on system parts, and also prevents
accidental lowering of the mower decks.
1. Move the PTO switch to the O
2. Set the parking brake.
3. Move the engine-speed switch to the L
4. Rotate the ignition key to the O
5. Remove the key from the switch to prevent accidental
Understanding Smart Power™
Traction
With Toro Smart Power™ traction, the operator does not
have to listen to the engine speed in heavy conditions. Smart
Power prevents bogging down in heavy turf by automatically
controlling the machine speed and optimizing cutting
performance. The operator can simply set a max ground
speed, that is comfortable, and mow without having to
manually reduce the traction speed when mowing in heavy
conditions.
