Controls Product Overview Engine On/Off Switch Use the engine On/Off switch to shut the engine off. Ensure that the switch is in the ON position before starting the engine. Fuel-Valve Lever Move the lever for the fuel valve to the ON position before attempting to start the engine. After operation, shut off the engine and move the fuel-valve lever to the OFF position. Throttle Control The throttle controls the engine speed, and it has a continuous-variable setting.
Drive-Control Levers • Drive: Only the wheels are engaged with the engine; the tines are disengaged. Use this mode for powered transportation when driving up steep inclines and moving the machine to and from your garden. Pull down the forward lever to engage the transmission in the forward direction; pull up on the reverse lever to engage the transmission in the reverse direction. Release the levers to disengage the transmission.
Operation • Do not fill the fuel tank indoors. • Do not overfill the fuel tank. Replace the fuel cap and tighten it securely after fueling. Clean up spilled fuel before starting the engine. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. • Do not fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground, away from the vehicle before filling.
Adding Fuel Filling the Fuel Tank Fill the fuel tank as shown in Figure 20. Fuel Specifications Type Unleaded gasoline Minimum octane rating 87 (US) or 91 (research octane; outside the US) Ethanol No more than 10% by volume Methanol None MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) Less than 15% by volume Oil Do not add to the fuel g230458 Figure 20 Use only clean, fresh (no more than 30 days old), fuel from a reputable source.
During Operation • Do not overload the machine capacity by During Operation Safety • Do not pick up or carry a machine while the engine General Safety • Exercise caution and be sure of your footing, attempting to till or cultivate too deep and at too fast a rate. is running. especially when backing up, to avoid slipping or falling. • Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur.
Starting the Machine Adjusting the Drag Stake 1. Move the engine on/off switch to the ON position. Adjust the drag stake as needed for the drive mode. 2. Move the fuel-valve lever to the OPEN position. • CRT mode: The drag stake helps regulate tilling 3. Move the throttle lever to the FAST position. 4. Move the choke lever to the CHOKE position. depth during CRT mode. Lower the drag stake to reduce the tilling depth; raise the drag stake to increase the tilling depth.
Operating Tips • Inspect the area where you will use the machine and remove all objects such as large rocks, trash, and branches before tilling to prevent equipment damage. • Do not place excessive body weight on the machine. Use the weight of the machine to till the soil more efficiently. • When tilling, begin with a shallow cut on the first pass and then increase the depth by 2.5 to 5.1 cm (1 to 2 inches) on each successful path until you reach the desired depth.
Maintenance • Never tamper with safety devices. Check their Maintenance Safety • To ensure optimum performance of the machine, proper operation regularly. 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.
Pre-Maintenance Procedures Lubrication Preparing for Maintenance Grease type: White lithium grease Greasing the Machine 1. Move the machine to a level surface, shut off the engine, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Grease the machine at the following locations: 2. Disconnect the spark-plug wire from the spark plug. • Forward and reverse engagement levers • Forward and reverse arm assemblies • Forward and reverse cables. g361695 Figure 23 1. Spark-plug wire 3.
Engine Maintenance Servicing the Foam Element Servicing the Air Cleaner Service Interval: Every 25 hours/Yearly (whichever comes first)—Service the air cleaner (more often in dirty or dusty conditions). Remove the foam pre-cleaner from the paper element. 2. Wash the pre-cleaner with warm water and a mild detergent. 3. Rinse the pre-cleaner and allow it to air dry. Important: Replace the foam pre-cleaner if it is Every 25 hours/Yearly (whichever comes first)—Clean the pre-cleaner element.
Installing the Air Cleaner Elements 1. Servicing the Engine Oil Install the foam pre-cleaner element over the paper element. Engine-Oil Specifications Note: Ensure that you do not damage the elements. 2. Install the air-cleaner elements onto the air-cleaner base and onto the stud. 3. Secure the elements using the fastener. 4. Install the cover and secure it with the fastener. Engine oil capacity 0.54 to 0.59 L (18 to 20 fl oz) Oil viscosity Refer to the chart below.
4. Remove the dipstick and check the engine-oil level. Ensure that the oil is at the top of the Full indicator on the dipstick.. 7. Ensure that the oil is at the correct level on the dipstick; refer to Checking the Engine-Oil Level (page 20). 5. If the oil level is low, slowly add oil into the filler tube until it is overflowing. 8. Wipe up any spilled oil. 6. Install the dipstick and tighten it.
Belt Maintenance Checking the Spark Plug Important: Do not clean the spark plug(s). Always replace the spark plug(s) when it has a black coating, worn electrodes, an oily film, or cracks. Checking and Adjusting the Drive Belts If you see light brown or gray on the insulator, the engine is operating properly. A black coating on the insulator usually means the air cleaner is dirty. Service Interval: Every 10 hours Yearly The belt tension may decrease over time.
Adjusting the Reverse Drive Belt Tension 6. If the machine does not operate in reverse when the reverse drive-control lever is engaged, adjust the jam nuts on the reverse drive cable 1 turn at a time until the reverse drive control functions properly. Pull the reverse arm away from the engine pulley. Use 2 wrenches (13 mm) to loosen the idler pulley on the arm so that you can remove the reverse drive belt.
8. Installing the Belts Push up on the belt, and pull it off and away from the pulley. 1. Place the reverse drive belt in the transmission pulley groove. g356684 Figure 36 9. Remove the reverse drive belt from the transmission pulley. g356683 Figure 38 2. Place the forward drive belt in the engine pulley groove, between the wire guides. g356683 Figure 37 g356682 Figure 39 1.
3. 7. Gently rotate the transmission pulley and force the forward drive belt into the groove. Install the upper shrouds and lower pulley guards. g356685 Figure 40 g357906 Figure 42 4. Slide the reverse drive belt onto the reverse arm idler pulley, between the wire belt guides, and into the groove. g356686 Figure 41 1. Reverse arm 3. Wire belt guide 2. Idler pulley 4. Reverse drive belt 5.
Cleaning Storage Cleaning the Machine Storage Safety • Shut off the machine and wait for all moving parts Before each use or daily 1. Tip the tiller toward the engine and block it into position so that it rests on the lower pulley guard and the tines are exposed. 2. Remove all debris on the axle between the tines and transmission housing. to stop before you leave the operator’s position.
D. Start the engine and run it until it shuts off. E. Dispose of fuel properly. Recycle the fuel according to local codes. Important: Do not store fuel containing stabilizer/conditioner longer than the duration recommended by the fuel-stabilizer manufacturer. 7. Remove and check the condition of the spark plug; refer to Servicing the Spark Plug (page 21). With the spark plug removed from the engine, pour 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of engine oil into the spark plug hole.
Troubleshooting Problem The engine does not start. Possible Cause Corrective Action 1. The fuel tank is empty. 1. Add fuel. 2. The spark-plug wire is loose or disconnected. 3. The engine switch is in the OFF position. 4. The choke lever is not in the CHOKE position during cold start. 2. Install the wire on the spark plug. The engine runs rough or floods during operation. 1. The air filter is dirty. 1. Clean or replace the air filter. The engine is difficult to start. 1.
