Operation Adding Fuel Before Operation Safety Fuel Recommendations • For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method). General Safety • Never allow children or untrained people to • Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol operate or service the machine. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. The owner is responsible for training all operators and mechanics.
Checking the Engine-Oil Level Service Interval: Before each use or daily (Check the oil when the engine is cold.) The engine is shipped with high-quality oil in the crankcase; however, the oil level must be checked before and after the engine is first started. Crankcase capacity is approximately 1.9 L (2 US qt) with the filter. Note: The best time to check the engine oil is when the engine is cool before it has been started for the day.
During Operation Safety • The maximum transport speed is 32 km/h (20 mph) with slower speeds required on hilly terrain. • The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible • Shut off the engine when dumping the contents for accidents that may cause personal injury or property damage. of the hopper. Do not stand directly behind the hopper.
Adjusting the Rake Depth Starting the Engine 1. Place all the controls in the OFF or DISENGAGED position. 2. Move the throttle lever midway between the SLOW and FAST position. 3. The flex tip reel should be adjusted to ensure that the rake tips slightly touch surface but do not penetrate the turf. Move the choke lever to the ON position. 1. Position the machine on a level surface. 2. Turn the depth-adjustment bolt until the rake slightly contacts the top of the turf grass.
Operating Tips After Operation Safety • Park the machine on a firm, level surface. Avoid General soft ground because the jack stand could sink and cause the machine to tip over. • Before starting to sweep, survey area to determine • Shut off the engine and remove the key. Wait for the best direction to sweep. all movement to stop and allow the machine to cool before adjusting or cleaning it. Note: To maintain a straight line when sweeping, sight of an object in the foreground.
Maintenance Important: Refer to your engine owner’s manual for additional maintenance procedures. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 50 hours • Change the engine oil and filter. Before each use or daily • Check the engine-oil level. (Check the oil when the engine is cold.) • Lubricate the bearings (In extremely dusty or dirty conditions) • Check the tire pressure.
• Do not interfere with the intended function of a safety device. or reduce the protection provided by a safety device. Check their proper operation regularly. • Do not overspeed the engine by changing the governor settings. To ensure safety and accuracy, have an authorized Toro distributor to check the maximum engine speed with a tachometer. • If major repairs are ever necessary or assistance is required, contact an authorized Toro distributor.
Engine Maintenance Servicing the Air Cleaner Service Interval: Every 25 hours Check the air-cleaner housing for damage, which could cause an air leak. Replace the air cleaner housing if it is damaged. Check the whole intake system for leaks, damage, or loose hose clamps. Removing the Air Filters g015269 Figure 12 1. Refer to Preparing the Machine for Maintenance (page 18). 2. Release latches securing air-cleaner cover to air-cleaner body. Separate the cover from the body (Figure 14).
6. Changing the Engine Oil and Filter Inspect the primary filter for damage by looking into the filter while shining a bright light on the outside of the filter. Holes in the filter appear as bright spots. If the filter is damaged, discard it. Service Interval: After the first 50 hours Every 100 hours—Change the engine oil and filter. Servicing the Primary Air Filter Service Interval: Every 200 hours Note: Change the oil and filter more frequently when operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
8. Pour the new oil through the center hole of the filter. Stop pouring when the oil reaches the bottom of the threads. 9. Allow a minute or 2 for the oil to be absorbed by filter material, then pour off the excess oil. 10. Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket on the replacement filter. 11. Install the replacement filter to the filter adapter. Turn the oil filter clockwise until the rubber gasket contacts the filter adapter, then tighten the filter an additional 1/2 turn.
Fuel System Maintenance Electrical System Maintenance Replacing the Fuel Filter Servicing the Battery Service Interval: Every 600 hours/Yearly (whichever comes first) Service Interval: Every 25 hours—Check the electrolyte level and clean the battery. Every 25 hours—Check the battery cable connections. Every 25 hours Important: Do not install a dirty filter after it has been removed from the fuel line. 1. Refer to Preparing the Machine for Maintenance (page 18). 2. Allow the machine to cool down.
Drive System Maintenance If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the cables (negative (–) cable first) and scrape clamps and terminals separately. Connect the cables (positive (+) cable first) and coat the terminals with petroleum jelly. Tire Maintenance WARNING Battery terminals or metal tools could short against metal traction unit components, causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.
Belt Maintenance Inspecting the Belts Refer to Preparing the Machine for Maintenance (page 18). Note: It is not necessary to remove the upper belt guard (Figure 19) to check the belt tension. If you remove the belt guard, remove the 4 bolts, washers, and nuts securing the guard to the frame. Do not operate the machine without the guards in place. g018726 Figure 20 1. Impeller belt 3.
