The correct air pressure in the front tires is 220 kPa (32 psi) and the rear tires is 207 kPa (30 psi) as shown in Figure 15.

Important: Maintain pressure in all tires to ensure a good quality of cut and proper machine performance. Do not underinflate the tires.Check the air pressure in all the tires before operating the machine.Traction performance, including tire-slip control, is dependent on the ratio of the tire size between the front and rear tires. Use only genuine Toro tires.

Figure 15

The correct air pressure in the caster wheel tires is 340 kPa (50 psi).

Important: Maintain pressure in all tires to ensure a good quality of cut and proper machine performance. Do not underinflate the tires.Check the air pressure in all the tires before operating the machine.

You can adjust the height of cut from 25 to 153 mm (1 to 6 inches) in 13 mm (1/2 inch) increments. To adjust the height of cut, position the caster-wheel axles in the upper or lower holes of the caster forks, add or remove an equal number of spacers from the caster forks, and adjust the rear chain (front deck only) to the desired holes.

Mount the roller in the lower position when operating at heights of cut greater than 51 mm (2 inches) and in a higher position when operating at heights of cut lower than 51 mm (2 inches).

Due to differences in grass conditions and the counterbalance setting of the traction unit, you should cut the grass and check the appearance before you begin mowing the entire area.

1. Set all mower decks to the desired height of cut; refer to Adjusting the Height of Cut.

2. Check and adjust the front and rear tire pressure.

   Note: The correct air pressure in the front tires is 220 kPa (32 psi) and the rear tires is 207 kPa (30 psi).

3. Check and adjust all caster tire pressures to 340 kPa (50 psi).

4. Check the lift and counterbalance pressures with the engine throttle at HIGH IDLE using the test ports; refer to Inspecting the Hydraulic System Test Ports.

5. Check for bent blades; refer to Checking for a Bent Blade.

6. Cut grass in a test area to determine if all mower decks are mowing at the same height.

7. If you need to adjust a mower deck, find a flat surface using a 2 m (6 ft) or longer straight edge to ensure that the surface is flat.

8. To ease measuring the blade plane, raise the height of cut to the highest position; refer to Adjusting the Height of Cut.

9. Lower the mower decks onto the flat surface and remove the covers from the tops of the mower decks.

1. Loosen the mounting nuts and position each headlight so that it points straight ahead.

   Note: Tighten the mounting nut just enough to hold the headlight in position.

2. Place a flat piece of sheet metal over the face of the headlight.

3. Mount a magnetic protractor onto the plate.

4. While holding the assembly in place, carefully tilt the headlight downward 3° then tighten the nut.

5. Repeat this procedure on the other headlight.

The machine safety-interlock system is designed to disable the traction drive when the operator leaves the seat with the traction pedal out of the NEUTRAL position. The deck drive also disengages under the same condition. However, you may get off the seat while the engine is running if the traction pedal is in the NEUTRAL position.

1. Drive the machine slowly to a large, open area.

2. Lower the mower deck(s), shut off the engine, and engage the parking brake.

The blades of the mower deck should come to a complete stop in approximately 5 seconds after you shut down the mower-deck-engagement switch.

Note: Ensure that the decks are lowered onto a clean section of turf or hard surface to avoid thrown dust and debris. To verify the stopping time, have someone stand back from the deck at least 6 m (20 ft) and watch the blades on 1 of the mower decks. Shut the mower decks down and record the time that it takes for the blades to come to a complete stop. If the time is greater than 7 seconds, adjust the braking valve; contact your Toro distributor for assistance in making this adjustment.

1. Ensure that the parking brake is engaged.

2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and ensure that it 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.

5. Release the key immediately when the engine starts and allow it to return to the RUN position.

6. Allow the engine to warm up at low speed (without load) for 3 to 5 minutes, then actuate the throttle switch to attain the desired engine speed.

   Important: The starter motor automatically disengages after 30 seconds to prevent premature starter motor failure. If the engine fails to start after 30 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position, check the controls and procedures again, wait 2 minutes, and repeat the starting procedure.

   Note: When the hydraulic-fluid temperature is below 4°C (40°F), the machine operates in a warm-up mode; limiting the engine speed to 1,650 rpm and preventing traction-drive operation in High range. When the fluid temperature reaches 4°C (40°F), the warm-up mode disables.

1. Set the throttle switch to the LOW-IDLE position.

2. Move the PTO switch to the OFF position.

3. Engage the parking brake.

4. Rotate the ignition key to the OFF position.

5. Remove the key from the switch to prevent accidental starting.

Important: Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes before shutting it off after a full-load operation. Failure to do so may lead to turbo-charger complications.

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 in the DPF is too high or a reset regeneration has not occurred for 100 hours, the engine computer signals you through the InfoCenter when reset regeneration is running.

• Allow the 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 (full throttle) engine speed generally produces 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.

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 an engine fault to indicate the accumulation of ash in the DPF.

• The fault messages indicate 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.

Practice driving the machine, as it has a hydrostatic transmission, and its characteristics may differ from other turf-maintenance machines.

With Toro Smart Power™, you do not have to listen to the engine speed in heavy load conditions. Smart Power prevents the engine from bogging down in heavy cutting conditions by automatically controlling the machine speed and optimizing cutting performance.

If Toro Smart Power™ is disabled, you must regulate the traction pedal to keep the engine speed (rpm) high and constant. This must be performed so that enough power is maintained for the traction unit and implement while operating. Decrease the ground speed as the load on the implement increases, and increase the ground speed as the load decreases.

Allow the traction pedal to move backward as the engine speed (rpm) decreases, and press the pedal slowly as the engine speed increases. By comparison, when driving between work areas, with no load and the mower deck raised, set the throttle in the highest position and press the traction pedal slowly, but fully, to attain maximum ground speed.

Before stopping the engine, disengage all controls and decrease the engine speed to LOW IDLE (1,000 rpm). Turn the ignition key to the OFF position to shut off the engine.

Before transporting the machine, raise the mower decks and secure the transport latches on the wing mower deck (Figure 64).

Figure 64

1. Transport latch

This machine is designed with 2 voltage systems: 12 V and 24 V.

The 12 V system powers all functions of the machine, except for the engine-cooling fans and hydraulic-cooling fans. The 2 large 12 V batteries at the rear, right corner of the machine are connected in parallel to provide 12 V nominal. The 12 V engine alternator charges these batteries.

The 24 V system powers the engine-cooling fans and hydraulic-cooling fans. The 2 small 12 V batteries at the rear, left corner of the machine are connected in series to provide 24 V nominal. The 24 V alternator charges these batteries.

The battery-disconnect switch is located at the rear, right side of the machine. This switch can be used to disconnect power from the batteries during service or maintenance procedures.

The hydraulic-fan speed is controlled by hydraulic-fluid temperature. The radiator-fan speed is controlled by the engine-coolant temperature. A reverse cycle automatically initiates both fans when either the engine coolant or hydraulic-fluid temperature reaches a certain point. This reversal blows debris off the screens, lowering the engine and hydraulic-fluid temperatures (Figure 65). Additionally, the radiator fans perform a reverse cycle every 21 minutes regardless of the coolant temperature.

Figure 65

Note: This alarm is a reminder to prevent the battery from being discharged.

An audible alarm sounds when the following conditions occur:

• The engine is shut off.

• The key is in the run position.

• The operator is out of the seat.

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

1. Raise the hood and locate the bypass valves on the pump.

Refer to the engine owner's manual (included with the machine) for the servicing procedure.

The AC compressor and 24 V alternator belt uses a spring-loaded tensioner that is pre-set at the factory. Refer to the Toro Service Manual for the servicing procedure.

The blade-drive belt, tensioned by the spring-loaded idler pulley, is very durable. However, after many hours of use, the belt will show signs of wear. Signs of a worn belt are squealing when the belt is rotating, blades slipping when cutting grass, frayed edges, burn marks, and cracks. Replace the belt if any of these signs occur.

The hydraulic-fluid reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately 62.7 L (16.6 US gallons) of high-quality hydraulic fluid. Check the level of the hydraulic fluid before you start the engine for the first time and daily thereafter.

Use Toro Premium All-Season Hydraulic Fluid (Available in 5-gallon pails or 55-gallon drums. See the Parts Catalog or an authorized Toro distributor for part numbers.)

If the Toro fluid is not available, you may use other fluids provided that they meet all the following material properties and industry specifications. 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 will stand behind their recommendation.

High-Viscosity Index/Low-Pour Point Anti-Wear Hydraulic Fluid, ISO VG 46

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

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 20ml (2/3 fl oz) bottles. 1 bottle is sufficient for 15 to 22 L (4 to 6 US gallons) of hydraulic oil. Order Toro Part No. 44-2500 from your authorized Toro distributor.

After striking a foreign object, inspect the machine for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the equipment. Torque all the spindle-pulley nuts to 176 to 203 N·m (130 to 150 ft-lb).

1. Raise the mower deck.

2. Perform the pre-maintenance procedure; refer to Pre-Maintenance Procedures.

3. Block the mower deck to prevent it from accidentally falling.

4. Rotate the blade until the ends face forward and backward, and measure from the inside of the mower deck to the cutting edge at the front of the blade (Figure 137).

   Note: Record this dimension.

   

   Figure 137

5. Rotate the opposite end of the blade forward and measure between the mower deck and cutting edge of the blade at the same position as in step 4.

   Note: The difference between the dimensions obtained in steps 4 and 5 must not exceed 3 mm (1/8 inch). If the dimension exceeds 3 mm (1/8 inch), the blade is bent and must be replaced; refer to Removing and Installing a Blade.

Replace the blade if it hits a solid object, if it is out of balance, or if it is bent. Always use genuine Toro replacement blades to be sure of safety and optimum performance. Never use replacement blades made by other manufacturers because they could be dangerous.

1. Raise the mower deck to the highest position.

2. Perform the pre-maintenance procedures; refer to Pre-Maintenance Procedures.

3. Block the mower deck to prevent it from accidentally falling.

4. Grasp the end of the blade using a rag or thickly padded glove and remove the blade bolt, anti-scalp cup, and blade from the spindle shaft (Figure 138).

   

   Figure 138

   1. Blade bolt
   2. Anti-scalp cup

5. Install the blade, anti-scalp cup, and blade bolt.

6. Torque the blade bolt to 115 to 149 N·m (85 to 110 ft-lb).

   Important: The curved part of the blade must point toward the inside of the mower deck to ensure proper mowing.

   Note: After striking a foreign object, torque all the spindle-pulley nuts to 176 to 203 N·m (130 to 150 ft-lb) and the blade bolts to 115 to 149 N·m (85 to 110 ft-lb).

You must consider 2 areas of the blade when checking and servicing it: the sail and the cutting edge. Both cutting edges and the sail, which is the turned-up portion opposite of the cutting edge, contribute to a good quality of cut. The sail is important because it lifts the grass up straight, thereby producing an even cut. However, the sail gradually wears down during operation, which is normal. As the sail wears down, the quality of cut degrades somewhat, although the cutting edges are sharp. The cutting edge of the blade must be sharp so that the grass is cut, not torn. A dull cutting edge is evident when the tips of the grass appear brown and shredded. Sharpen the cutting edges to correct this condition.

1. Position the machine on a level surface, raise the mower deck, engage the parking brake, put the traction pedal in NEUTRAL, ensure that the PTO switch is in the OFF position, shut off the engine, and remove the key.

2. Examine the cutting ends of the blade carefully (especially where the flat and curved parts of the blade meet) as shown in Figure 139.

   Note: Since sand and abrasive material can wear away the metal that connects the flat and curved parts of the blade, check the blade before using the mower. If you notice wear, replace the blade (Figure 139).

   

   Figure 139

   1. Cutting edge
   2. Curved area
   3. Wear/slot forming
   4. Crack

3. Examine the cutting edges of all of the blades.

4. Sharpen the cutting edges if they are dull or nicked (Figure 140).

   

   Figure 140

   1. Sharpen at the original angle.

   Note: Sharpen only the top of the cutting edge and maintain the original cutting angle to ensure the sharpness.

   Note: The blade will remain balanced if the same amount of metal is removed from both cutting edges.

Note: Remove the blades and sharpen them on a grinder. After sharpening the cutting edges, install the blade with the anti-scalp cup and blade bolt; refer to Removing and Installing a Blade.

When there is mismatch between the blades on a single mower deck, the grass appears streaked when it is cut. You can correct this problem by ensuring that the blades are straight.

1. Using a 1 m (3 ft) long carpenter’s level, find a level surface on the shop floor.

2. Raise the height-of-cut to the highest position; refer to Adjusting the Height of Cut.

3. Lower the mower deck onto a flat surface and remove the covers from the top of the mower deck.

4. Rotate the blades until the ends face forward and backward.

5. Measure from the floor to the front tip of the cutting edge. Record this condition.

6. Rotate the same blade so that the opposite end is forward and measure it again.

   Note: The difference between the dimensions must not exceed 3 mm (1/8 inch). If the dimension exceeds 3 mm (1/8 inch), replace the blade, as it is bent. Measure all the blades.

7. Ensure that the deck is level from side to side and adjust as required.

8. Install the belt covers.

Important: Use care around the cab seals and lights (Figure 141). If you are using a pressure washer, keep the washer wand at least 0.6 m (2 ft) away from the machine. Do not use the pressure washer directly on the cab seals and lights or under the rear overhang.
