SLOPE OPERATION Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this unit on that area or serious injury could result. DO: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed setting so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope. Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes are functioning properly. Always keep machine in gear when going down slopes to take advantage of engine braking action. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability. Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the stability of the machine. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid transmission engagement or braking could cause the front of the machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards which could cause serious injury. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down the slope. DO NOT: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground. Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill. Doing so may cause the operator to lose control of the machine resulting in serious injury or death. Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments (e.g. loaded dump cart, lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than 5 degrees. When going down hill, the extra weight tends to push the tractor and may cause you to loose control. (e.g. tractor may speed up, braking and steering ability are reduced, attachment may jack-knife and cause tractor to overturn). CHILDREN 1. 2. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. They do not understand the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. a. Keep children out of the mowing area and in watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator. b. Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area. c. Before and while backing, look behind and down for small children. d. Never carry children, even with the blade(s) shut off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation. e. Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees or other objects that may block your vision of a child who may run into the machine. f. To avoid back-over accidents, always disengage the cutting blade(s) before shifting into reverse. The "Reverse Caution Mode" should not be used when children or others are around. g. Keep children away from hot or running engines. They can suffer burns from a hot muffler. h. Remove key when machine is unattended to prevent unauthorized operation. Never allow children under 14 years old to operate the machine. Children 14 years old and over should read and understand the operation instructions and safety rules in this manual and should be trained and supervised by a parent or responsible adult. TOWING 1. 2. 3. 4. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment. Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments (e.g. loaded dump cart, lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than 5 degrees. When going down hill, the extra weight tends to push the tractor and may cause you to loose control. (e.g. tractor may speed up, braking and steering ability are reduced, attachment may jack-knife and cause tractor to overturn). 5. 6. 7. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill. SERVICE SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE: , To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite. Wash your skin and change clothes immediately. a. Use only an approved gasoline container. b. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. I. truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling. When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition. Neverfuel machine indoors. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tankto no more thanl/2-inch below the bottom of the filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move unit to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine. To reduce fire hazards, keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris. Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances. m. Allow a machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing. GENERALSERVICE: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless, and deadly gas. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the blade(s) and all moving parts have stopped. Remove the ignition key to prevent unintended starting. Periodically check to make sure the blades come to complete stop within approximately five (5) seconds after operating the blade disengagement control. If the blades do not stop within the this time frame, your unit should be serviced professionally by an authorized Toro service dealer. Check brake operation frequently as it is subjected to wear during normal operation. Adjust and service as required. Check the blade(s) and engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect blade(s) for damage (e.g., excessive wear, bent, cracked). Replace the blade(s) with the original equipment manufacturer's (O.E.M.) blade(s) only. Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and compromise safety! Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Never tamper with the safety interlock system or other safety devices. Check their proper operation before each use. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine and remove the ignition key to prevent unintended starting. Thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage. Repair the damage before starting and operating. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to the machine while the engine is running. Grass catcher components and the discharge cover are subject to wear and damage which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, frequently check components and replace immediately with original equipment manufacturer's (O.E.M.) parts only. Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and compromise safety! Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as necessary (i.e. when scratched, damaged or missing). Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.

To disengage the parking brake, slightly depress the brake pedal. The following information will be helpful when using the cutting deck with your tractor. WARNING: Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of materials toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction which may cause discharged material to ricochet back toward the operator. NOTE: The parking brake must be engaged if the operator leaves the seat with the engine running or the engine will automatically shut off. Engagingthe Blades • Engaging the PTO (Blade Engage) transfers power to the cutting deck or other (separately available) attachments. To engage the blades, proceed as follows: 1. 2. 3. • Move the throttle/choke control to the FAST (rabbit) position. Grasp the PTO (Blade Engage) lever and pivot it all the way forward into the engaged (ON) position. See Figure 10. Keep the throttle/choke control in the FAST (rabbit) position for the most efficient use of the cutting deck or other (separately available) attachments • • • • IMPORTANT: The engine will automatically shut off if the PTO is engaged with the shift lever in position for reverse travel and the ignition key in the NORMAL MOWING position. Refer to SafetyInterlock Systemon page 16. • 18 Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit or grass collector is installed. For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be cut with the discharge thrown towards the center. After the first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will give a better appearance to the lawn. Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed growth and yellows quickly in dry weather. Mowing should always be done with the throttle control in the FAST (rabbit) position. Under heavy conditions it may be necessary to go over the cut area a second time to get a clean cut. Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow lawns, NOT clear brush. Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn. Refer to CuttingBladeson page 26 of this manual for proper blade sharpening instructions.

Refer to Tires on page 26 for information regarding tire pressure. SeatAdjustment FrontTo Rear To adjust the position of the seat, loosen the two knobs on the bottom of the seat. See Figure 11. Slide the seat forward or rearward as desired. Retighten the two knobs. The front of the cutting deck is supported by a stabilizer bar that can adjusted to level the deck from front to rear. The front of the deck should be between 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch lower than the rear of the deck. Adjust if necessary as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Figure 11 With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the deck lift lever in the top notch (highest position) and rotate the blade nearest the discharge chute so that it is parallel with the tractor. Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to the ground and the rear of the blade tip to the ground. The first measurement taken should be between 1/4" and 3/8" less than the second measurement. Determine the approximate distance necessary for proper adjustment and proceed, if necessary, to the next step. From the front of the tractor, loosen the outermost hex lock nut on the end of the deck hanger rod. See Figure 12. Tighten the inner hex nut front against the front hanger bracket to raise the front of the deck; loosen the hex nut to lower the front of the deck. See Figure 12. Figure 12 , 19 Retighten the two lock nuts against the inner hex nuts when proper adjustment is achieved. Side te Side SteeringAdjustment If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a side to side adjustment can be performed. Adjust if necessary as follows: 1. 2. 3. If the tractor turns tighter in one direction than the other, or if the ball joints are being replaced due to damage or wear, the steering drag links may need to be adjusted. With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the deck lift lever in the top notch (highest position) and rotate both blades so that they are perpendicular with the tractor. Measure the distance from the outside of the left Adjust the drag links so that equal lengths are threaded into the ball joint on the left side and the ball joint on the right side: 1. blade tip to the ground and the distance from the outside of the right blade tip to the ground. Both measurements taken should be equal. If they're not, proceed to the next step. Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex bolt on the left deck hanger bracket. See Figure 13. Loosen the jam nut found on the drag link at the rear of the ball joint. See Figure 14. ..................................................................................................

The deck is properly balanced when both blade tip measurements taken earlier are equal. Retighten the hex bolt on the left deck hanger bracket when proper adjustment is achieved. Remove the hex nut on the top of ball joint. See Figure 14. Thread the ball joint toward the jam nut to shorten the drag link. Thread the ball joint away from the jam nut to lengthen the drag link. Replace hex nut and retighten the jam nut after proper adjustment is achieved. NOTE: Threading the ball joints too far onto the drag links will cause the front tires to "toe-in" too far. Proper toe-in is between 1/16" and 5/16". Front tire toe-in can be measured as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 20 Place the steering wheel in position for straight ahead travel. In front of the axle, measure the distance horizontally from the inside of the left rim to the inside of the right rim. Note the distance. Behind the axle, measure the distance horizontally from the inside of the left rim to the inside of the right rim. Note the distance. The measurement taken in front of the axle should be between 1/16" and 5/16" less than the measurement taken behind the axle. Adjust if necessary.
