Checking the Torque of the
Wheel Nuts
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts
could result in personal injury.
Torque the wheel nuts to 95 to 122 N∙m (70-90 ft-lb)
after 1-4 hours of operation and again after 10 hours
of operation. Torque every 200 hours thereafter.
To ensure even distribution, torque the brakes in a star
pattern.
Breaking in the Machine
Refer to the engine manual supplied with the machine for oil
change and maintenance procedures recommended during
the break-in period.
Only 8 hours of mowing operation is required for the break-in
period.
Since the first hours of operation are critical to future
dependability of the machine, monitor its functions and
performance closely so that minor difficulties, which could
lead to major problems, are noted and can be corrected.
Inspect the machine frequently during break-in for signs of
oil leakage, loose fasteners, or any other malfunction.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Note: Inspect the areas beneath the mowers to be certain
they are clear of debris.
Starting the Engine
Note: Inspect the area beneath the mowers to be certain
they are clear of debris.
1. Sit on the seat, lock the parking brake, disengage
the raise/lower mow control and move the
functional-control lever to the N
2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make
sure the pedal is in the N

4. Insert and rotate the ignition key clockwise until the
engine starts.
5. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the
engine running smoothly. As soon as possible, open
the choke by pulling it rearward to the O
warm engine requires little or no choking.
6. Check the machine out with the following procedures
after the engine has started:

A. Move the throttle lever to the F
and momentarily engage the reels by moving
the raise/lower mow control lever forward. The
cutting units should drop and all the reels should
turn.
B. Move the raise/lower mow control lever rearward.
The cutting reels should stop and the cutting units
should raise to the full transport position.
C. Set the brake to keep the machine from moving,
and operate the traction pedal through the
forward and reverse positions.
D. Continue the above procedure for 1-2 minutes.
Move the functional-control lever to the N
position, lock the parking brake, and turn the
engine off.
E. Check for oil leaks and tighten the hydraulic
fittings if any are found.
Note: When the machine is new and the bearings
and reels are tight, it is necessary to use the F
throttle lever position for this check. A fast
throttle setting may not be required after the
break-in period.
Note: If oil leaks continue to appear, contact
your Authorized Toro Distributor for assistance
and, if necessary, replacement parts.
Important: A trace of oil on the motor or
wheel seals is normal. Seals require a small
amount of lubrication to perform properly.
Stopping the Engine
1. Move the throttle lever to the S
disengage the raise/lower mow control, and move the
functional-control lever to the N
2. Rotate the starter key to the O
engine off. Remove the key from the switch to prevent
accidental starting.
3. Close the fuel shut-off valves before storing the
machine.
Checking the Safety-Interlock
System
CAUTION
If the safety interlock switches are disconnected or
damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly
causing personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock switches
daily and replace any damaged switches before
operating the machine.
