Warning

CALIFORNIA

Proposition 65 Warning

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

Because in some areas there are local, state, or federal regulations requiring that a spark arrester be used on the engine of this machine, a spark arrester is available as an option. If you require a spark arrester, contact your Authorized Toro Service Dealer.

Genuine Toro spark arresters are approved by the USDA Forestry Service.

It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section 4442 or 4443 to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the engine is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained in effective working order or the engine is constructed, equipped, and maintained for the prevention of fire.

Safety

Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply with these safety instructions and always pay attention to the safety-alert symbol, which means Caution, Warning, or Danger—personal safety instruction. Failure to comply with the instruction may result in personal injury or death.

Safe Operating Practices

The following instructions are from the EN ISO 5395:2013 and ANSI B71.4-2012.

  • Read the Operator's Manual and other training material carefully. Be familiar with the controls, safety signs, and the proper use of the equipment.

  • Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use or service the mower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

  • Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.

  • Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

  • Do not carry passengers.

  • All drivers and mechanics should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction. The owner is responsible for training the users. Such instruction should emphasize the the need for care and concentration when working with ride-on machines.

  • The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for accidents or injuries occurring to people or damage to property.

Preparation

  • While mowing, always wear substantial, slip-resistant footwear, long trousers, safety glasses, and ear protection.

  • Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine.

  • Replace faulty silencers/mufflers.

  • Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and attachments are needed to properly and safely perform the job. Only use accessories and attachments approved by the manufacturer.

  • Check that the operator's presence controls, safety switches and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do not operate the machine unless they are functioning properly.

Safe Handling of Fuels

  • To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling fuel. Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.

  • Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

  • Use only an approved fuel container.

  • Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running.

  • Allow engine to cool before refueling.

  • Never refuel the machine indoors.

  • Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water heater or on other appliances.

  • Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground, away from your vehicle before filling.

  • Remove equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment with a portable container rather than from a fuel-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.

  • If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

  • Never overfill fuel tank. Replace the fuel cap and tighten it securely.

Operation

  • Do not operate the engine in a confined space, where dangerous carbon monoxide and exhaust gases can collect.

  • Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

  • Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all blade attachment clutches, shift into neutral, and engage the parking brake.

  • Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights as recommended in the Operator's Manual.

  • Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards.

  • Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.

  • Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other than grass.

  • When using any attachments, never direct discharge of material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the machine while in operation.

  • Never operate the machine with damaged guards, shields, or without safety protective devices in place. Make sure that all interlocks are attached, adjusted properly, and functioning properly.

  • Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

  • To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer/muffler, battery compartment and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

  • Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.

  • Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware and hydraulic fittings tightened. Replace all worn or damaged parts and decals.

  • If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.

  • Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving blades and fixed parts of the machine.

  • On multi-cylinder/multi-reel machines, take care as rotating one cylinder/reel can cause other cylinders/reels to rotate.

  • Disengage drives, lower the cutting units, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove key from ignition. Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning, or repairing the machine.

  • Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives, silencers/mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills.

  • Use jack stands to support components when required.

  • Carefully release pressure from components with stored energy.

  • Disconnect battery before making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive last. Connect positive first and negative last.

  • Use care when checking the cylinders/reels. Wear gloves and use caution when servicing them.

  • Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If possible, do not make adjustments with the engine running.

  • Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away from spark and flames. Unplug charger before connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools.

Hauling

  • Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck.

  • Use full-width ramps for loading machine into trailer or truck.

Toro Riding Mower Safety

The following list contains safety information specific to Toro products or other safety information that you must know that is not included in the CEN, ISO, or ANSI standard.

This product is capable of amputating hands and feet and of throwing objects. Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious injury or death.

Use of this product for purposes other than its intended use could prove dangerous to user and bystanders.

Danger

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison that can kill you.

Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide and other exhaust gasses can collect.

  • Know how to stop the engine quickly.

  • Wear substantial slip-resistant footwear and long pants. Tie back long hair and do not wear jewelry.

  • Handle fuel carefully. Wipe up any spills.

  • Check the safety-interlock switches daily for proper operation. If a switch should fail, replace the switch before operating the machine.

  • Before starting the engine, sit on the seat.

  • Using the machine demands attention. To prevent loss of control:

    • Do not drive close to sand traps, ditches, creeks, or other hazards.

    • Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid sudden stops and starts.

    • When near or crossing roads, always yield the right-of-way.

    • Apply the service brakes when going downhill to keep forward speed slow and to maintain control of the machine.

  • When operating a machine with ROPS (rollover-protection system), never remove the ROPS and always use the seat belt.

  • Raise the cutting units when driving from one work area to another.

  • Do not touch the engine, silencer/muffler, or exhaust pipe while the engine is running or soon after it has stopped because these areas could be hot enough to cause burns.

  • If the engine stalls or loses headway and cannot make it to the top of a slope, do not turn the machine around. Always back slowly, straight down the slope.

  • When a person or pet appears unexpectedly in or near the mowing area, stop mowing. Do not resume mowing until the area is cleared.

Maintenance and Storage

  • Make sure that all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.

  • Keep your body and hands away from pin-hole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. Seek immediate medical attention if fluid is injected into skin.

  • Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the cutting units and attachments to the ground.

  • Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a regular basis. Tighten or repair them as needed.

  • If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and any parts of the body away from the cutting units, attachments, and any moving parts. Keep everyone away.

  • To ensure safety and accuracy, have your Toro Distributor check the maximum engine speed with a tachometer.

  • For major repairs, warranty work, updates to systems, or assistance, contact your Toro Distributor.

  • To ensure optimum performance and continued safety certification of the machine, use only genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by other manufacturers could be dangerous, and such use could void the product warranty.

Checking the Engine-Oil Level

Before you start the engine and use the machine, check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to Checking the Engine-Oil Level.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Danger

In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property.

  • Fill the fuel tanks outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.

  • Never fill the fuel tanks inside an enclosed trailer.

  • Never smoke when handling fuel and stay away from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be ignited by a spark.

  • Store fuel in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30-day supply of fuel.

  • Do not operate without entire exhaust system in place and in proper working condition.

Danger

In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released, causing a spark that can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property.

  • Always place fuel containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

  • Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed, because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.

  • When practical, remove equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground.

  • If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container rather than from a fuel-dispenser nozzle.

  • If you must use a fuel-dispenser nozzle, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Warning

Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness.

  • Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.

  • Keep your face away from the nozzle and fuel tank opening.

  • Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.

Fuel Specification

Important: Use only ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel. Fuel with higher rates of sulfur degrades the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), which causes operational problems and shortens the service life of engine components.Failure to observe the following cautions may damage the engine.

  • Never use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel fuel.

  • Never mix kerosene or used engine oil with the diesel fuel.

  • Never keep fuel in containers with zinc plating on the inside.

  • Do not use fuel additives.

Petroleum Diesel

Cetane rating: 45 or higher

Sulfur content: Ultra-low sulfur (<15 ppm)

  • Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels.

  • Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness.

Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter-grade fuel (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that temperature.

Note: Use of winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.Using summer-grade fuel above -7°C (20°F) contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased power compared to winter-grade fuel.

Biodiesel

This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petroleum diesel).

Sulfur content: Ultra-low sulfur (<15 ppm)

Biodiesel fuel specification: ASTM D6751 or EN14214

Blended fuel specification: ASTM D975, EN590, or JIS K2204

Important: The petroleum diesel portion must be ultra-low sulfur.

Observe the following precautions:

  • Biodiesel blends may damage painted surfaces.

  • Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold weather.

  • Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as they may be degraded over time.

  • Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time after converting to biodiesel blends.

  • Contact your Authorized Toro Distributor if you wish for more information on biodiesel.

    Checking the Hydraulic Fluid

    Maintenance Service IntervalMaintenance Procedure
    Before each use or daily
  • Check the hydraulic-fluid level.
  • The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately 30 L (8 US gallons) of high-quality hydraulic fluid. Check the level of the hydraulic fluid before the engine is first started and daily thereafter. The recommended replacement fluid is as follows:

     Toro Premium All Season Hydraulic Fluid (Available in 19 L (5 US gallon) pails or 208 L (55 US gallon) drums. See the Parts Catalog or your Toro Distributor for part numbers.)

    Alternate fluids: If the Toro fluid is not available, other fluids may be used provided they meet all the following material properties and industry specifications. We do not recommend the use of synthetic fluid. Consult with your lubricant distributor to identify a satisfactory product.

    Note: Toro does not assume responsibility for damage caused by improper substitutions, so use only products from reputable manufacturers who stand behind their recommendation.

    High Viscosity Index/Low Pour Point Anti-wear Hydraulic Fluid, ISO VG 46
     Material Properties:
      Viscosity, ASTM D445cSt @ 40°C 44 to 50cSt @ 100°C 7.9 to 8.5
      Viscosity Index ASTM D2270140 to 160
      Pour Point, ASTM D97-36.6°C (-34°F) to 9.4°C (-49°F)
     Industry Specifications:
      Vickers I-286-S (Quality Level), Vickers M-2950-S (Quality Level), Denison HF-0

    Important: The ISO VG 46 Multigrade fluid has been found to offer optimal performance in a wide-range of temperature conditions. For operation in consistently high ambient temperatures, 18°C (65°F) to 49°C (120°F), ISO VG 68 hydraulic fluid may offer improved performance.

    Premium Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid-Mobil EAL EnviroSyn 46H

    Important: Mobil EAL EnviroSyn 46H is the only synthetic biodegradable fluid approved by Toro. This fluid is compatible with the elastomers used in Toro hydraulic systems and is suitable for a wide-range of temperature conditions. This fluid is compatible with conventional mineral oils, but for maximum biodegradability and performance the hydraulic system should be thoroughly flushed of conventional fluid. The oil is available in 19 L (5 US gallon) containers or 208 L (55 US gallon) drums from your Mobil Distributor.

    Important: Many hydraulic fluids are almost colorless, making it difficult to spot leaks. A red dye additive for the hydraulic system oil is available in 20 ml (2/3 oz) bottles. 1 bottle is sufficient for 15 to 22 L (4 to 6 gallons) of hydraulic oil. Order Part Number 44-2500 from your Toro Distributor. This red dye is not recommended for use with biodegradable fluids. Use food coloring.

    1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units, and stop the engine.

    2. Clean the area around filler neck and cap of the hydraulic tank (Figure 30). Remove the cap from the filler neck.

      g021215
    3. Remove the dipstick from the filler neck and wipe it with a clean rag.

  • After the first 10 hours
  • Torque the wheel lug nuts to 94 to 122 N-m (70 to 90 ft-lb).
  • Every 250 hours
  • Torque the wheel lug nuts to 94 to 122 N-m (70 to 90 ft-lb).
  • Torque the wheel nuts to 94 to 122 N-m (70 to 90 ft-lb).

    Warning

    Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts could result in personal injury.

    Breaking in the Machine

    To ensure optimum performance of the parking-brake system, burnish (break in) the brakes before use. Set the forward traction speed to 6.4 km/h (4 mph) to match the reverse traction speed (all 8 spacers moved to the top of the mow-speed control). With the engine at high idle, proceed forward with the mow-speed-control stop engaged and ride the brake for 15 seconds. Proceed backward at full reverse speed and ride the brake for 15 seconds. Repeat this 5 times, waiting 1 minute between each forward and reverse cycle to avoid overheating the brakes; refer to Adjusting the Parking Brakes.

    Starting and Stopping the Engine

    Important: The fuel system automatically bleeds itself when any of the following situations occur:

    • Initial start-up of a new machine.

    • The engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.

    • Maintenance has been performed upon the fuel system components.

    Starting the Engine

    1. Sit on the seat, keep your foot off the traction pedal so that it is in NEUTRAL, engage the parking brake, set the engine-speed switch to the MIDDLE position, and ensure that the Enable/Disable switch is in the DISABLE position.

    2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make sure that the pedal is in the NEUTRAL position.

    3. Turn the ignition key to the RUN position.

    4. When the glow indicator dims, turn the ignition key to the START position. Release the key immediately when the engine starts and allow it to return to the RUN position. Allow the engine to warm up (without load), then move the throttle control to the desired position.

    Stopping the Engine

    1. Move all controls to NEUTRAL, set the parking brake, move the engine-speed switch to the low idle position and allow the engine to reach low idle speed.

    2. Turn the key to the OFF position and remove it from the switch.

    Cutting Grass with the Machine

    Note: Cutting grass at a rate that loads the engine promotes DPF regeneration.

    1. Move the machine to the job site and align the machine outside the cutting area for the first cutting pass.

    2. Ensure that the PTO switch is set to the DISABLE position.

    3. Move the lever for the mow-speed limiter forward.

    4. Press the throttle-speed switch to set the engine speed to HIGH IDLE.

    5. Use the joystick to lower the cutting units to the ground.

    6. Press the PTO switch to prepare cutting units for operation.

    7. Use the joystick to raise the cutting units off the ground.

    8. Begin moving the machine toward the cutting area and lower the cutting units.

      Note: Cutting grass at a rate that loads the engine promotes DPF regeneration.

    9. When you complete the mowing pass, use the joystick to lift the cutting units.

    10. Perform a tear-shaped turn to quickly line up for your next pass.

    Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration

    The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is part of the exhaust system. The diesel-oxidation catalyst of the DPF reduces harmful gasses and the soot filter removes soot from the engine exhaust.

    The DPF regeneration process uses heat from the engine exhaust to incinerate the soot accumulated on the soot filter, converting the soot to ash, and clears the channels of the soot filter so that filtered engine exhaust flows out the DPF.

    The engine computer monitors the accumulation of soot by measuring the back pressure in the DPF. If the back pressure is too high, soot is not incinerating in the soot filter through normal engine operation. To keep the DPF clear of soot, remember the following:

    • Passive regeneration occurs continuously while the engine is running—run the engine at full engine speed when possible to promote DPF regeneration.

    • If the back pressure is too high, the engine computer signals you through the InfoCenter when additional processes (assist and reset regeneration) are running.

    • Allow the assist and reset regeneration process to complete before shutting off the engine.

    Operate and maintain your machine with the function of the DPF in mind. Engine load at high idle engine speed generally produce adequate exhaust temperature for DPF regeneration.

    Important: Minimize the amount of time that you idle the engine or operate the engine at low-engine speed to help reduce the accumulation of soot in the soot filter.

    Caution

    The exhaust temperature is hot (approximately 600°C (1112°F) during DPF parked regeneration or recovery regeneration. Hot exhaust gas can harm you or other people.

    • Never operate the engine in an enclosed area.

    • Make sure that there are no flammable materials around the exhaust system.

    • Never touch a hot exhaust system component.

    • Never stand near or around the exhaust pipe of the machine.

    DPF Soot Accumulation

    • Over time, the DPF accumulates soot in the soot filter. The computer for the engine monitors the soot level in the DPF.

    • When enough soot accumulates, the computer informs you that it is time to regenerate the diesel particulate filter.

    • DPF regeneration is a process that heats the DPF to convert the soot to ash.

    • In addition to the warning messages, the computer reduces the power produced by the engine at different soot-accumulation levels.

    The computer de-rates the engine power to 50%Perform a recovery regeneration as soon as possible; refer to Recovery Regeneration.

    DPF Ash Accumulation

    • The lighter ash is discharged through the exhaust system; the heavier ash collects in the soot filter.

    • Ash is a residue of the regeneration process. Over time, the diesel particulate filter accumulates ash that does not discharge with the engine exhaust.

    • The computer for the engine calculates the amount of ash accumulated in the DPF.

    • When enough ash accumulates, the engine computer sends information to the InfoCenter in the form of a system advisory or an engine fault to indicate the accumulation of ash in the DPF.

    • The advisory and faults are indications that it is time to service the DPF.

    • In addition to the warnings, the computer reduces the power produced by the engine at different ash-accumulation levels.

    Recovery Regeneration

    • If you ignore the request for a parked regeneration (displayed in the InfoCenter) and continue to operate the machine, a critical amount of soot builds up in the DPF.

    • If a recovery regeneration is needed, the InfoCenter displays engine warning SPN 3719, FMI 16 (Figure 52) and the engine computer derates engine power to 85%.

      g213867

      Important: If you do not complete a recovery regeneration within 15 minutes, the engine computer derates engine power to 50%.

    • Perform a recovery-regeneration whenever there is a loss of engine power and a parked regeneration cannot effectively clean the DPF of soot.

    • A recovery regeneration requires up to 4 hours to complete.

    • You need a distributor technician to perform the recovery regeneration process; contact your Authorized Toro Distributor.

    Adjusting the Lift-Arm Counterbalance

    You can adjust the counterbalance on the rear cutting-unit lift arms to compensate for different turf conditions and to maintain a uniform height of cut in the rough conditions or in areas of thatch buildup.

    You can adjust each counterbalance spring to 1 of 4 settings. Each increment increases or decreases counterbalance on the cutting unit by 2.3 kg (5 lb). You can position the springs on the back side of the first spring actuator to remove all counter balance (fourth position).

    1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking brakes, and remove the key from the ignition switch.

    2. Insert a tube or similar object onto the long spring end and pivot it around the spring actuator to the desired position (Figure 53).

      Caution

      The springs are under tension.

      Use caution when adjusting them.

      g019276
    3. Repeat the procedure on the other spring.

    Adjusting the Lift-Arm Turnaround Position

    1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking brakes, and remove the key from the ignition switch.

    2. The lift-arm switch is located underneath the hydraulic tank behind the front, right lift arm (Figure 54).

    3. Loosen the switch-mounting screws and move the switch down to increase the lift-arm turnaround height or move the switch up to decrease the lift-arm turnaround height (Figure 54).

      g027937
    4. Tighten the mounting screws.

    Pushing or Towing the Machine

    In an emergency, you can move the machine by actuating the bypass valve in the variable displacement hydraulic pump and pushing or towing the machine.

    Important: Do not push or tow the machine faster than 3 to 4.8 km/h (2 to 3 mph) because internal transmission damage may occur. The bypass valve must be open whenever you push or tow the machine.

    1. Rotate the bypass-valve bolt 1–1/2 turns to open and allow oil to bypass internally (Figure 55).

      Note: The bypass valve is located on the left side of the hydrostat. By bypassing the fluid, you can move the machine slowly without damaging the transmission.

      g003995
    2. Close the bypass valve before starting the engine. However, do not exceed 7 to 11 N-m (5 to 8 ft-lb) torque to close the valve.

      Important: Running the engine with the bypass valve open causes the transmission to overheat.

    Jacking Points

    Note: Use jack stands to support the machine when required.

    • Front—rectangular pad, under the axle tube, inside each front tire (Figure 56).

      g031850
    • Rear—rectangular axle tube on the rear axle.

    Transporting the Machine

    Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary brakes, lighting, and marking as required by law. Please carefully read all the safety instructions. Knowing this information could help you, your family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury.

    Warning

    Driving on the street or roadway without turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow-moving vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead to accidents causing personal injury.

    Do not drive the machine on a public street or roadway.

    1. If you are using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle and connect the safety chains.

    2. If applicable, connect the trailer brakes.

    3. Load the machine onto the trailer or truck.

    4. Stop the engine, remove the key, set the brake, and close the fuel valve.

    5. Use the metal tie-downs on the machine to securely fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with straps, chains, cable, or ropes (Figure 57 and Figure 58).

      • Front—the hole in the rectangular pad, under the axle tube, inside each front tire (Figure 57)

        g031851
      • Rear—each side of the machine on the rear frame (Figure 58)

        g004555

    Loading the Machine

    Use extreme caution when loading the machine onto a trailer or a truck. Use a full-width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the front tires of the machine instead of individual ramps for each tire (Figure 59). If it is not possible to use a full-width ramp, use enough individual ramps to simulate a full-width continuous ramp.

    The ramp should be long enough so that the angles do not exceed 15  (Figure 59). A steeper angle may cause mower components to get caught as the unit moves from the ramp to the trailer or truck. Steeper angles may also cause the machine to tip backward. If loading the machine on or near a slope, position the trailer or truck so that it is on the down side of the slope and the ramp extends up the slope. This will minimize the ramp angle. The trailer or truck should be as level as possible.

    Important: Do not attempt to turn the machine while on the ramp; you may lose control and drive off the side.

    Warning

    Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck increases the possibility of tipping over and could cause serious injury or death.

    • Use extreme caution when operating a machine on a ramp.

    • Use the ROPS (in the up position) while using the seat belt when loading the machine. Ensure that the ROPS clears the top of an enclosed trailer.

    • Use only a single, full-width ramp.

    • If individual ramps must be used, use enough ramps to create an unbroken ramp surface wider than the machine.

    • Do not exceed a 15-degree angle between the ramp and the ground or between the ramp and the trailer or truck.

    • Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration while driving the machine up or down a ramp.

    g000951

    Setting the Reel Speed

    To achieve a consistent, high quality-of-cut and a uniform after cut appearance, it is important that you set the reel speed to the proper setting. Adjust the reel speed as follows:

    1. In the InfoCenter, under the settings menu, enter the blade count, mow speed, and HOC to calculate the proper reel speed.

    2. If further adjustments are required, in the settings menu, scroll down to the F Reel RPM, R Reel RPM, or both.

    3. Press the right button to change the reel-speed value.

      Note: As you change the speed setting, the display continues to show the calculated reel speed based on blade count, mow speed and HOC, but the new value is also be displayed.

      Note: You may need to increase or decrease the reel speed to compensate for varying turf conditions.

    Cutting Unit System Maintenance

    Backlapping the Cutting Units

    Warning

    Contact with the reels or other moving parts can result in personal injury.

    • Keep fingers, hands, and clothing away from the reels or other moving parts.

    • Never attempt to turn the reels by hand or foot while the engine is running.

    Note: When backlapping, the front units all operate together, and the rear units operate together.

    1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking brake, and move the Enable/Disable switch to the DISABLE position.

    2. Unlock and raise the seat to expose the backlap levers (Figure 97).

    3. Make initial reel-to-bedknife adjustments appropriate for backlapping on all cutting units that are to be backlapped; refer to the Operator's Manual for the cutting units.

    4. Start the engine and run at low idle speed.

      Danger

      Changing the engine speed while backlapping may cause the reels to stall.

      • Never change the engine speed while backlapping.

      • Only backlap at idle engine speed.

    5. Select either front, rear, or both backlap levers to determine which units to backlap (Figure 97).

      Danger

      To avoid personal injury, be certain that you are clear of the cutting units before proceeding.

    6. With the Mow/Transport lever in the MOW position, move the Enable/Disable switch to the ENABLE position. Move the Lower Mow/Lift control forward to start the backlapping operation on the designated reels.

    7. Apply lapping compound with a long-handled brush.

      Important: Never use a short-handled brush.

    8. If the reels stall or become erratic while backlapping, select a higher reel-speed setting until the speed stabilizes, then return the reel speed to your desired speed.

    9. To adjust the cutting units while backlapping, turn the reels off by moving the Lower Mow/Raise lever rearward; the Enable/Disable switch to the DISABLE position, and stop the engine.

      After completing adjustments, repeat steps 4 through 8.

      g021209
    10. Repeat the procedure for all cutting units you want to backlap.

    11. When finished, return the backlap levers to the MOW position, lower the seat, and wash all lapping compound off the cutting units.

      Note: Adjust the cutting-unit reel to bedknife as needed. Adjust the cutting-unit reel speed to the desired mowing setting.

      Important: If the backlap switch is not returned to the OFF position after backlapping, the cutting units do not raise or function properly.

      Note: For a better cutting edge, run a file across the front face of the bedknife after lapping. This removes any burrs or rough edges that may have built up on the cutting edge.
