Before Operating Caution If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously injure you or other bystanders. Remove the key from the ignition before you do any maintenance. Figure 2 1. Oil fill cap Checking the Engine Oil 5.
Checking the Cooling System Filling the Fuel Tank Check level of coolant at the beginning of each day. The capacity of the fuel tank is 19 gallons (72 l). Capacity of system is 2-3/4 gal. (10.4 l). 1. Remove the fuel tank cap (Fig. 4). 1.
Checking the Hydraulic Fluid Mobil. Contact your local Toro Distributor for details. This oil is available in 5 gallon (19 1) containers from your Toro Distributor, order part no. 100–7674. The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately 8 gallons of high quality hydraulic fluid.
3. Add gear oil to the hole in the planetary, if necessary, to bring the oil up to the proper level. Install the plug. 4. Repeat steps 1–3 on the opposite gear assembly. Checking the Rear Axle Lubricant The rear axle is shipped from the factory filled with SAE 85W-140 wt.
2. Remove the check/fill plug from the left side of the gear Adjusting the Height-of-Cut box (Fig. 9) and make sure that lubricant is up to the bottom of the hole. If the level is low, add enough Front Cutting Unit lubricant to bring the level up to the bottom of the hole.

3. Remove the tensioning cap from the spindle shaft 6. Mount the height-of-cut chains to the desired (Fig. 10) and slide the spindle out of the castor arm. Put height-of-cut hole (Fig. 13) with the clevis pin and the 2 shims (1/8 inch) onto the spindle shaft as they hairpin cotter.
Page 21
4. Remove the hairpin cotter and clevis pins from the castor pivot arms (Fig. 16). 5. Rotate tension rod to raise or lower pivot arm until holes are aligned with selected height-of-cut bracket holes in the cutting unit frame (Fig. 16 & 17) 6.
Adjusting the Skids Important The damper link length should never be adjusted. The length between the hole centers should be 5-3/8 in. (13.7 cm). The skids should be mounted in the lower position when operating in height of cuts greater than 2-1/2 inches (64 mm) and in the higher position when operating in height of cuts lower than 2-1/2 inches (64 mm).
Correcting Mismatch Between Cutting Units Due to differences in grass conditions and the counterbalance setting of the traction unit, it is advised that grass be cut and appearance checked before formal cutting is started. 1. Set all cutting units to the desired height of cut; refer to Adjusting the Height of Cut, page 19.

Recheck measurement between outside edges of both side cutting units and inside edge of side cutting unit to outside edge of front cutting unit. 4. If inside edge is still too high, remove an additional 1/8 in. shim from bottom of front inside castor arm of the side cutting unit and one 1/8 in.
Operation pedals, and pull the parking brake latch out. To release the parking brake, depress both pedals until the parking brake latch retracts. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Caution This machine produces sound levels in excess of 85 dBA at the operators ear and can cause hearing loss through extended periods of exposure.
Glow Plug Indicator Light PTO Switch When lit, the glow plug indicator light (Fig. 24) indicates The PTO switch (Fig. 26) has three positions: On (engage), that the glow plugs are on. Neutral, and Off (disengage). Carefully lift and push the PTO switch forward to the On position to start the implement or cutting unit blades.
Hour Meter Important Do not run the starter motor more than 15 seconds at a time or premature starter failure may result. If The hour meter (Fig. 26) shows the total hours that the the engine fails to start after 15 seconds, turn the key to the machine has been operated.

work area to another, with no load and cutting unit raised, have the throttle in the Fast position and depress the traction pedal slowly but fully to attain maximum ground speed. The flow divider enhances traction drive performance in compromised operating conditions. The flow divider is for use in low speed range only.
Always Mow with Sharp Blades A sharp blade cuts cleanly and without tearing or shredding the grass blades like a dull blade. Tearing and shredding causes the grass to turn brown at the edges which impairs growth and increases susceptibility to diseases. Transporting Use the transport latches when transporting over long distances, rough terrain, or when trailering.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule Maintenance Service Maintenance Procedure Interval Check the cutting unit drive belt tension. After first 10 hours Check the fan and alternator belt tension. Torque the wheel lug nuts. Change the engine oil and filter. After first 50 hours Check the engine RPM (at idle and full throttle).
Daily Maintenance Checklist Duplicate this page for routine use. For the week of: Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. Sat. Sun. Maintenance Check Item Check the safety interlock operation. Check the brake operation. Check the engine oil and fuel level. Check the cooling system fluid level. Drain the water/fuel separator.

Servicing the Air Cleaner Check the air cleaner body for damage which could possibly cause an air leak. Replace a damaged air cleaner body. Service the air cleaner filters when the air cleaner indicator (Fig. 44) shows red or every 400 hours (more frequently in extremely dusty or dirty conditions).
6. Insert the new filter properly into the air cleaner body. Servicing the Fuel System Make sure that the filter is sealed properly by applying pressure to the outer rim of the filter when installing it. Danger Do not press on the flexible center of the filter. 7.

2. Check the traction pedal stop adjustment. The distance Adjusting the Service Brakes from the top of the stand to the top of the stop must be 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) (Fig. 67). Loosen the nuts and adjust, Adjust the service brakes when there is more than 1 in. as required.
2. Place a drain pan under the hub, remove the plug, and allow the oil to drain. 3. When all of the oil has drained, position the wheel so that the plug hole is at the ten or two o’clock position. 4.
Checking the Rear Wheel Toe-In After every 800 operating hours or annually, check the rear wheel toe-in. 1. Measure the center-to-center distance (at axle height) at the front and rear of the steering tires. The front measurement must be 1/4 in. (6 mm) less than the rear measurement.
Coat the battery posts and cable connectors with Grafo positioned snug to the battery. The cable must not 112X (skin-over) grease (Toro Part No. 505-47) or contact the battery cover. Slide the rubber boot over the petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
Fuses 3. Move latch arm pivot in or out until rubber cushion of adjustment screw is centered under deck latch. Tighten flange nuts. There are 5 fuses in the electrical system. They are located below the operators control panel (Fig. 75 and 76). Figure 77 1.
6. Hold the cutting unit upright, fit the cable end over the pin on the cutting unit lift arm and secure it with the hairpin cotter (Fig. 81). Figure 79 1. Raise the front cutting unit slightly off of the floor, set the parking brake, and stop the engine.
2. Install the tensioning cap. Cutting unit pitch is the difference in height-of-cut from the front of the blade plane to the back of the blade plane. Toro recommends a blade pitch of 1/4 in. (6 mm). That is the back of the blade plane is 1/4 in.
Servicing the Castor Arm Bushings The castor arms have bushings pressed into the top and bottom of the tube and after many hours of operation, the bushings will wear. To check the bushings, move the castor fork back and forth and from side to side. If the castor spindle is loose inside the bushings, the bushings are worn and must be replaced.
Always use sail is important because it lifts the grass up straight, genuine Toro replacement blades to be sure of safety and thereby producing an even cut. However, the sail will optimum performance.
FLAT PART Correcting Cutting Unit OF BLADE Mismatch SAIL If there is mismatch between the blades, on a single cutting unit, the grass will appear streaked when it is cut. This problem can be corrected by making sure that the blades are straight and all of the blades are cutting on the same SAIL plane.
