with the controls and the proper use of the

equipment.

2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with

these instructions to use the machine. Keep

everyone, especially children and pets away

from the area of operation

3. Become familiar with the controls and know

how to stop the machine quickly

4. Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in

place. If a shield, safety device or decal is

defective or damaged, repair or replace it before

operating the machine.

5. Always wear substantial shoes. Do not operate

the machine while wearing sandals, tennis shoes

or sneakers. Do not wear loose fitting clothing

that could get caught in moving parts and cause

personal injury.

6. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, long pants

and a helmet is advisable and required by some

local safety and insurance regulations.

7. Be sure the work area is clear of objects that

might be picked up and thrown by the reel.

8. keep everyone, especially children and pets,

away from the areas of operation.

9. Since gasoline is highly flammable, handle it

carefully.

A. Use an approved gasoline container.

B. Do not remove the cap from the fuel tank

when the engine is hot or running.

C. Do not smoke while handling gasoline.

D. Fill the fuel tank outdoors and not over one

inch (25 mm) from the top of the tank, not

the filler neck. Do not overfill.

E. Wipe up any spilled gasoline.

While Operating

10. Do not run the engine in a confined area with-

out adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are

hazardous and could be deadly.

11. Always stand behind the handle when starting

and operating the machine.

12. Do not touch the engine, muffler or exhaust pip

while the engine is running or soon after it is

stopped because these areas could be hot

enough to cause burns.

13. If you leave the machine unattended, be sure to

stop the engine so the cutting reel is not spin-

ning.

Maintenance

14. Before servicing or making adjustments to the

machine, stop the engine and pull the wire from

the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.

15. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine

area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and

dirt.

16. If the engine must be running to perform a

maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet,

clothing and any part of the body away from the

cutting unit and any moving parts. Keep every-

one away.

17. Do not overspeed the engine by changing the

governor settings. Maximum engine speed is

3000 rpm. To assure safety and accuracy, have

an authorized Toro distributor check engine

speed with a tachometer.

18. Shut off the engine before checking or adding

oil.

19. Check the performance of the clutch system

daily. Do not defeat this system, it is for your

own protection.

CHECK ENGINE OIL BEFORE

EACH USE OR EVERY 5 OPER-

ATING HOURS

Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual for oil

requirements.

1. Position the mower on a level surface.

2. Clean around the oil gauge (Fig. 1) then remove

it by turning it counterclockwise.

Figure 1

1. Oil level gauge

3. Wipe it clean and re-insert it, but do not screw

it into the port. Then remove it and check the

oil check level. Add only enough oil to raise

the level to the filler opening.

FILLTHE FUELTANK

1. Clean around fuel tank cap and remove cap

from tank (Fig. 2). Fill the fuel tank no higher

than to the bottom of the filter screen. DO NOT

OVER FILL.

Figure 2

1. Fuel tank cap

3. Install fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled

gasoline.

CHECKTRANSAXLE OIL LEVEL

Check the transaxle oil level before initial startup

and after every 50 hours of operation.

1. Place mower on level surface and remove the

plug at the rear of the gear case. Oil should be

to the bottom of the hole (Fig. 3).

2. If the level is too low, remove the plug in the

top cover (Fig. 4) and add SAE 90 gear oil.

3. To drain the transaxle, remove both plugs and

tip the unit rearward

Before Operating

Because fuel is flammable, caution must be used

when storing or handling it. Do not fill the fuel

tank while the engine is running, hot or when the

machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may

build up and be ignited by a spark or flame

source many feet away. DO NOT SMOKE

while filling the fuel tank to prevent the possibil-

ity of an explosion. Always fill the fuel tank

outside and wipe up any spilled fuel before start-

ing the engine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent

spilling, and fill the tank no higher than 2.5 cm

(one inch) below top of the tank, (bottom of the

filler neck). DO NOT OVER FILL.

Store fuel in a clean safety approved container

and keep the cap on the container. Keep fuel in

a cool, well-ventilated place; never in an

enclosed area such as a hot storage shed. To

assure volatility, do not buy more than a 30-day

supply of gasoline, or a 6-month supply of diesel

fuel.

Since many children like the smell of gasoline,

keep it out of their reach because the fumes are

explosive and dangerous to inhale.

ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF CUT

You can select rollers, skids or bedknives suitable for

all types of greens turf grasses. For example, pro-

gressively lower heights of cut with the same gauge

setting may be obtained by selecting,, in the follow-

ing order: the skid, full front roller, sectional roller

or the Wiehle roller. The micro-cut bedknife pro-

vides a height of cut to 1/16 (2 mm) inch, if desired.

1. Loosen the nut on the gauge bar and set the

adjusting screw to obtain the desired distance

between the bottom of the screw head and the

face of the bar (Fig. 5). Tighten the nut, making

sure adjustment is not altered.

2. Remove the cutting unit; refer to Removal and

Installation of the Cutting Unit.

3. Place the cutting unit upside down on a bench,

position the gauge bar on the end of the unit

with one end on the front support: skid, full

roller, sectional roller, etc., the other end on the

rear roller (Fig. 9).

4. Loosen the top nut on the adjusting screws on

each side plate (Fig. 6) and turn the nut to raise

or lower the front roller or skid assembly.

Adjust to make contact with the outer end of the

gauge bar. When proper adjustment is obtained,

the screw head on the gauge bar will just pass

over the cutting edge of the bedknife. ASSURE

HEIGHT OF CUT IS EXACTLY IDENTICAL

AT BOTH ENDS OF THE BEDKNIFE.

5. Tighten the top nuts to secure roller adjustment

(Fig. 6). Turn the cutting unit over and place it

on a level surface (Fig. 7). Press down on each

end of the front and rear rollers (Fig. 7). Each

roller should contact a level surface completely

across the unit (Fig. 7). If the rollers do not
