Operating Characteristics Practice driving the machine because it has a hydrostatic transmission and its characteristics are different than many turf maintenance machines. Some points to consider when operating the traction unit, cutting unit, or other implements are the transmission, engine speed, load on the cutting blades or other implement components, and the importance of the brakes.

Transporting Use the transport latches when transporting over long distances, rough terrain, or when trailering. After Operating To ensure optimum performance, clean the underside of the mower housing after each use. If residue is allowed to build up in the mower housing, cutting performance will decrease. Also, remove any debris which may have collected between the deck lift cylinders and the foam deck pads (Figure 35).
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Maintenance Procedure Interval • Torque the wheel lug nuts. • Check the fan belt tension. After the first 10 hours •...
CAUTION If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously injure you or other bystanders.

Servicing the Engine Oil and Fuel System Filter Maintenance Service Interval: After the first 50 hours Servicing the Fuel System Every 150 hours Change the oil and filter initially after the first 50 hours of DANGER operation; thereafter change the oil and filter every 150 hours. 1.
Rinse with clear water. Coat the battery posts and cable connectors with Grafo 112X 4. Remove the filter canister and clean the mounting (skin-over) grease (Toro Part No. 505-47) or petroleum jelly surface. to prevent corrosion.
• Always connect the positive (red) battery cable before connecting the negative (black) cable. 4. Coat both battery connections with Grafo 112X (skin-over) grease, Toro Part No. 505-47, petroleum jelly, or light grease to prevent corrosion. Slide the rubber boot over the positive terminal. Figure 58 5.
Drive System Maintenance Changing the Planetary Gear Drive Oil Service Interval: After the first 200 hours Every 800 hours Change the oil initially after first 200 hours of operation. Thereafter change the oil every 800 hours, or yearly, whichever occurs first. Use a high quality SAE 85W-140 gear lube. 1.
Checking the Rear Wheel 6. Remove the drain plug from the gear box and allow the oil to drain into a pan. Remove the fill plug to ease Toe-In in draining of the oil. Service Interval: Every 800 hours After every 800 operating hours or annually, check the rear wheel toe-in.
Cooling System Maintenance Servicing the Engine Cooling System Remove debris from the oil cooler and radiator daily. Clean them more frequently in dirty conditions. This machine is equipped with a hydraulically driven fan drive system that automatically (or manually) reverses to reduce radiator and screen debris build-up.
Brake Maintenance Belt Maintenance Servicing the Alternator Belt Adjusting the Service Brakes Service Interval: After the first 10 hours Adjust the service brakes when there is more than 1 inch (25 mm) of “free travel” of the brake pedal, or when the brakes Every 100 hours do not work effectively.

Controls System Maintenance Adjusting the Throttle Cable Service Interval: After the first 50 hours Every 400 hours Adjust the throttle cable (Figure 72) so that the governor lever on the engine contacts the low and high speed set bolts before the throttle lever contacts the slot in the control panel. Figure 73 1.
Service Interval: After the first 200 hours Every 800 hours Use Toro replacement filters (Part No. 94-2621 for the left side of the machine and 75-1310 for the right side of the Change the hydraulic fluid after every 800 operating hours, machine).
Checking the Hydraulic Lines and Hoses Service Interval: Every 2 years Inspect the hydraulic lines and hoses daily for leaks, kinked lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings, weather deterioration, and chemical deterioration. Make all necessary repairs before operating. WARNING Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury.
Measuring the Cutting Unit Pitch Cutting unit pitch is the difference in height-of-cut from the front of the blade plane to the back of the blade plane. Toro recommends a blade pitch of 1/4 inch (6 mm). That is the back of the blade plane is 1/4 inch (6 mm) higher than the front.
Servicing the Castor Arm Bushings The castor arms have bushings pressed into the top and bottom of the tube and after many hours of operation, the bushings will wear. To check the bushings, move the castor fork back and forth and from side to side. If the castor spindle is loose inside the bushings, the bushings are worn and must be replaced.
Replacing the Cutting Unit Hinge Covers The hinge cover prevents debris from escaping at hinge points between cutting units. If cover(s) ever become damaged or worm they must be replaced. Figure 82 1. Castor wheel 3. Bearing 2. Castor fork 4.
Always use genuine the cutter blade-the sail and the cutting edge. Both cutting Toro replacement blades to be sure of safety and optimum edges and the sail, which is the turned up portion opposite performance.
DANGER If the blade is allowed to wear, a slot will form between the sail and flat part of the blade (Figure 87). Eventually a piece of the blade may break off and be thrown from under the housing, possibly resulting in serious injury to you or bystanders.
Spark Arrestor 6. Compare the measurements of the outer blades with the center blade. The center blade must not be more Maintenance than 3/8 inch (10 mm) lower than the outer blades. If the center blade is more than 3/8 inch (10 mm) lower than the outer blades, proceed to step 7 and add shims Servicing the Spark Arrestor between the spindle housing and the bottom of the...
Cab Maintenance Cleaning the Cab Air Filters Service Interval: Every 250 hours (Replace them if they are torn or excessively dirty.) 1. Remove the thumb screws and grates from over both the in-cab and rear cab air filters (Figure 89). Figure 89 1.
B. Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with a wire brush and baking soda solution. C. Coat the cable terminals and battery posts with Grafo 112X skin-over grease (Toro Part No. 505-47) or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion. D. Slowly recharge the battery every 60 days for 24 hours to prevent lead sulfation of the battery.
