Powering The Machine - Toro MMX-650E-S 60212C Operator's Manual

Powering the Machine

Setting the Operating Voltage
The machine can operate with a 115 V or 230 V supply
voltage. The voltage block determines the operating voltage
of the machine (Figure 11). Use the following steps to change
the operating voltage:
1. Park the machine on level ground.
2. Stop the motor and unplug the machine.
3. Remove the 2 screws securing the voltage block to the
motor.
4. Remove the voltage block from the motor, rotate the
voltage block 180 degrees and plug it back into the
motor.
5. Secure the voltage plug to the motor with the 2 screws
that you previously removed.
Note: Use the instructions on the voltage block to determine
the voltage block setting.

Connecting to a Power Source
DANGER
Contact with water while operating the product
could cause electric shock, causing injury or death.
• Do not handle the plug or the machine with wet
hands or while standing in water.
• Use only an extension cord recommended for
outdoor cold-weather use.
Important: Check the extension cord frequently during
use for holes or cracks in the insulation. Do not use a
damaged cord. Do not run the cord through standing
water or wet grass.
Important: Use only extension cords with terminals
and sockets for the live, neutral, and ground wires.
Important: Connect the machine to only a receptacle
with live, neutral, and ground connections.
Important: The connecting wires or extension cord
should be as short as possible and in 1 piece.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this machine has a
polarized plug (unique blade shapes and widths). Use only
a polarized plug and socket that is compliant with NEMA
specifications and an extension cord that is UL-listed (CSA
certified in Canada) and recommended for outdoor use. A
polarized plug will fit in a polarized cord only 1 way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the cord, turn the cord. If it
still does not fit, purchase an appropriate extension cord.
If you have a polarized extension cord and the extension
cord plug does not fit fully into the wall receptacle, turn the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the machine plug or
extension-cord plug in any way.
Note: The machine uses a twist-locking plug.

Note: Do not use an extension cord over 30.4 m (100 ft)
long.
Powering the Machine with a Portable
Generator
When using a portable generator as an electrical source,
ensure the following power output specifications:

Resetting the Motor
The electrical motor for the machine is equipped with a
device for thermal-overload protection. In the event that the
motor shuts down automatically, reset the thermal-overload
protector as follows:
1. Move the O /O
