Starting And Stopping The Engine; Grinding A Stump - Toro 22615 Operator's Manual

Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Starting the Engine
1. Move the fuel valve to the Open position, all the way
to the right.
Note: If your model is equipped with an engine with
an On/Off switch, move the switch to the On position.
2. Move the choke lever left to the On position if you
are starting a cold engine.
Note: A warm or hot engine may not require choking.
3. Move the throttle to the Disengage position.
4. Hold the safety bail against the handle and push the
handle down enough to raise the cutting wheel off the
ground.
5. Pull the starter handle lightly until you feel resistance,
then pull the handle briskly. Return the starter handle
gently.
6. After the engine starts, gradually move the choke
lever back to the Off position. If the engine stalls or
hesitates, move the choke back to On again until the
engine warms up. Then move it to the Off position.
Stopping the Engine
1. Move the throttle to the Disengage position.
Note: If the engine has been working hard or is hot,
let it run for a minute before releasing the safety bail.
This helps to cool the engine before stopping. In an
emergency, the engine may be stopped immediately.
2. Release the safety bail to stop the engine.
3. Move the fuel valve to the Closed position, all the way
to the left.
Note: If your model is equipped with an engine with
an On/Off switch, move the switch to the Off position.

Grinding a Stump

DANGER
The machine will cut and amputate hands and feet.
• Stay in the operator's position while the machine
is running and keep away from the cutting
wheel.
• Keep all bystanders a safe distance from the
machine. Stop the machine immediately if any
people or animals enter the work area.
• Never leave a running machine unattended.
Always stop the engine and verify the cutting
wheel has stopped rotating.
WARNING
Grinding a stump will throw wood chips, soil, and
other debris into the air which could injure you or
bystanders.
• Always wear eye protection and a hard hat when
using the machine. A mesh visor alone does not
provide sufficient eye protection; supplement
with protective glasses.
• Ensure that everyone, including children and
animals, maintain a distance of at least 15 m (50
feet) from the machine.
1. Set throttle to the Disengage position, start the engine,
and allow the machine to warm up for 2 minutes.
2. Push the handle down enough to raise the cutting
wheel off the ground (Figure 8).
1. Pivot point
3. Move the machine to the front of the stump and set
the parking brake.
4. Move throttle up to the Engage position. The cutting
wheel will begin rotating.
5. Swing the cutting wheel to one side (Figure 8), then
lower it approximately 1 to 2.5 cm (1/2 to 1 inch) into
the front-top corner of the stump. Swing the cutting
wheel back and forth, lowering the cutting wheel
approximately 1 to 2.5 cm (1/2 to 1 inch) before each
sweep, until you have removed the front portion of the
stump to ground level (A through D in Figure 9).
