Parking Brake - Toro 07360 Operator's Manual

Parking Brake

Whenever the engine is shut off, the parking brake (Fig. 23)
must be engaged to prevent accidental movement of the
vehicle. To engage the parking brake, pull back on lever. To
disengage, push lever forward. Make sure parking brake is
released before moving vehicle. If vehicle is parked on a
steep grade, make sure parking brake is applied. Also, shift
the transmission into 1st gear on a uphill grade or reverse
on a down hill grade. Place chocks at the down hill side of
wheels.
Hydraulic Lift
Raises and lowers bed. Move rearward to raise, forward to
lower (Fig. 23).
Important
When lowering bed, hold lever in forward
position for 1 or 2 seconds after bed contacts frame to
secure it in lowered position. Do not hold the hydraulic lift
in either the raise or lower position, for more than 5
seconds, once the cylinders have reached the end of their
travel.
Hydraulic Lift Lock
Locks lift lever so hydraulic cylinders do not operate when
vehicle is not equipped with a bed (Fig. 23). It also locks
lift lever in ON position when using the hydraulics for
attachments.
High–Low Range Shifter
Adds three additional speeds for precise speed control
(Fig. 23).
• Vehicle must be completely stopped before shifting
between High and Low range.
• Shift only on level ground.
• Depress clutch pedal fully.
• Move lever fully forward for High and fully rearward
for Low.
HIGH is for higher speed driving on level, dry surfaces
with light loads.

LOW is for low speed driving. Use this range when greater
than normal power or control is required. For example,
steep grades, difficult terrain, heavy loads, slow speed but
high engine speed (spraying).
Note: There is a location between HIGH and LOW in
which the transaxle is in neither range. This should not be
used as a neutral position because the vehicle could move
unexpectedly if the HIGH–LOW shifter is bumped and the
gear shift lever is in gear.
Coolant Temperature Gauge and Light
Registers coolant temperature in engine. Operates only
when ignition switch is in On position (Fig. 24). Indicator
light will illuminate if engine overheats.
Charge Indicator
Illuminates when battery is being discharged. If light
illuminates during operation, stop vehicle, turn off engine
and check for possible causes, such as alternator belt
(Fig. 24).
Important
If alternator belt is loose or broken, do not
operate vehicle until adjustment or repair is complete.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to
the engine.
To check operation of warning lights:
• Apply parking brake.
• Turn ignition key to "ON", but do not start engine. The
coolant temperature, charge indicator and oil pressure
lights should glow. If any light does not function, either
a bulb is burned out or there is a malfunction in the
system which must be repaired.
