SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE OPERATING
1. Read and understand the contents of this
Operator's Manual before starting and operating
the machine. Become familiar with all controls and
how to stop quickly. A replacement manual 1s
available by sending complete Model and Serial
Number to:
The Toro Company
8111 Lyndale Avenue South
Minneapolis, Minnestoa 55420
2. Never allow children or adults unfamiliar with
it's operation to operate the machine, and keep
everyone, especially children and pets, away from
the area of operation.
3 Remove sticks, stones, wire and any other
debris or objects that might be picked up and
thrown by the cutter blades.
4. Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a
shield, safety device or decal is malfunctioning or
damaged, repair or replace it before operation is
commenced. Also, tighten any loose nuts, bolts and
screws to make sure machine is in safe operating
condition.
5. Do not operate machine while wearing sandals,
tennis shoes, sneakers or shorts. Also, do not wear
loose fitting clothing because it could get caught in
moving parts. Always wear long pants and sub-
stantial shoes. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes
and a helmet is advisable and required by some
local ordinances and insurance regulations.
6. Be sure interlock switches are adjusted cor
rectly so engine cannot be started unless traction
pedal is released — neutral position — and PTO
switch is in DISENGAGE position.
7. Fill fuel tank with fuel before starting the engine.
Avoid spilling any fuel. Since fuel is highly flammable,
handle it carefully — DO NOT SMOKE.
A. Use an approved fuel container.
B. Do notfilltank while engine is hot or running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
D. Fill fuel tank outdoors and up to about one
inch (25 mm) from top of the tank, not the filler
neck. KEEP HOOD CLOSED when filling.
E. Wipe up any spilled fuel. Install fuel
container cap and machine fuel tank cap
securely before starting the engine.
WHILE OPERATING
8. Do not run the engine in a confined area with-
out adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are
hazardous and could possibly be deadly.
9. Maximum seating capacity is one person. Never
carry passengers.
10. Sit on the seat when starting the engine and
operating the machine,
11. When starting the engine:
A. Engage parking brake.
B. Be sure traction pedal is in neutral and PTO
Is in disengage position.
C. After engine is started, release parking
brake and keep foot off traction pedal.
Machine must not move. If movement is
evident, the neutral return mechanism is ad-
justed incorrectly; therefore, shut engine
off and adjust until machine does not
move when traction pedal is released.
12. Using the machine demands attention, and to
prevent loss of control:
A. Mow only in daylight or when there is good
artificial light.
B. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
C. Do not drive close to a sand trap, ditch,
creek or other hazard.
D. Reduce speed when making sharp turns and
when turning on hillsides.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
E. Avoid sudden stops and starts.
F. Before backing up, look to the rear to be
sure no one Is behind the machine.
G. Watch out for traffic when near or crossing
roads. Always yield the right-of-way.
13. The grass deflector or complete blower assembly
must always be installed on the cutting unit. If the
cutting unit discharge area ever plugs, disengage
PTO and shut engine off. Use a stick to remove the
obstruction.
14. Never raise the cutting unit while the blades
are rotating.
15. If the cutting blades strike a solid object or the
machine vibrates abnormally, disengage PTO, move
throttle to SLOW, set parking brake and shut engine
off. Remove key from switch and disconnect high
tension wires from spark plugs to prevent possibility
of accidental starting. Check cutting unit and traction
unit for damage and malfunctioning parts. Make all
repairs before restarting the engine and operating
the cutting unit. Make sure blades are in good
condition and blade nuts are tight.
16. Cut grass slopes carefully. When going up-
hill or downhill do not start or stop suddenly.
17. Do not touch engine, muffler or its adjacent
shroud while engine is running or soon after it is
stopped because these areas could be hot enough
to cause a burn.
18. Lower the cutting unit or other attached
implement to the ground and remove key from
switch whenever machine is left unattended.
19. Before getting off the seat:
A. Move traction pedal to neutral position
and remove foot from pedal.
B. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
C. Shut the engine off and remove key from
ignition switch. Wait for all movement to stop
before getting off the seat.
MAINTENANCE
20. Remove key from ignition switch and disconnect
high tension wire from spark plug to prevent acci-
dental starting of the engine when servicing, adjust-
Ing or storing the machine.
21 Perform only those maintenance instructions
described in this manual. If major repairs are ever
needed or assistance is desired, contact an Author-
zed TORO Distributor.
22. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and accumu-
lations of dirt.
23. Be sure machine is in safe operating condition by
Keeping nuts, bolts and screws tight. Check the blade
mounting bolts frequently to be sure they are tight.
24. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight,
and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system
25. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pres-
sure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search
for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and do
serious damage. If fluid is injected into the skin it
must be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene
may result.
26. Before disconnecting or performing any work on
the hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be
relieved by stopping engine and lowering implement
to the ground.
27. If the engine must be running to perform a
maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing
and other parts of the body away from the cutting unit
blades and other moving parts.
28. Do not overspeed the engine by changing
governor settings. To ensure safety and accuracy,
have an Authorized TORO Distributor check maxi-
mum engine speed with a tachometer.
29. Engine must be shut off before checking oil or
adding oil to the crankcase.
30. At the time of manufacture, the GROUNDS-
MASTER grass collection system conformed to safety
standards in effect for riding mowers. Therefore, to
assure optimum performance and safety, always
purchase genuine TORO replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement parts and accessories
made by other manufacturers could be dangerous.
Such use could void the product warranty of The Toro
Company.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
A CAUTION
When grass collector is removed,
NEVER operate without deflector in
place.
For best performance, regulate traction pedal to keep
engine rpm high and somewhat constant. A good
rule to follow is: decrease ground speed as the load
on the cutting blade increases; and increase ground
speed as load on the blades decreases. This allows
the engine, working with the transmission, to sense
the proper ground speed while maintaining high
blade tip speed necessary for good quality-of-cut,
vacuuming action, and to throw grass into hopper. If
blower speed drops too low plugging may result.
Refer to Cutting Unit and Traction Unit Operator's
Manual for operation of each.
A CAUTION
Use care to avoid collision between grass
bag and any stationary objects. Always
trim with left side of cutting unit.

TE TEE TET TEE TE TEE EE EE CP CEP E E
1. This grass collector is designed for use in wet or
dry conditions. Do not collect extremely long grass as
the bag will fill too quickly.
2. When bagging wet, heavy grass, some clippings
may not be thrown completely through the chute. The
hole in the bottom of the chute allows these clippings
to drop out without plugging the chute. When this
happens, reduce ground speed.
3. The bumper which protects the blower housing
doesn’t extend far enough to eliminate chance of
lower tray or hood striking a stationary object. Stay far
enough away from obstructions to avoid collision.
Trim with left hand side of cutting unit only.
4. To improve productivity, Toro recommends
purchasing an additional seven or ten bushel grass
bags from your local Toro dealer. Store em pty bagsin
tray of lower support tube assembly and drop off filled
and sealed bags to be collected later.
9. The optional ten bushel grass bags should not be
used under extremely wet grass conditions as they
may be too heavy to remove easily.
6. Heavy duty lawn trash bags may be used with an
optional retainer cord (Toro part no. 36-7770). High
winds may cause bottom of empty bags to shift off
lower tray. If this happens, mow until bag is slightly
filled and recenter on tray.
7. The grass collector hood is designed to exhaust
air beside the grass bag rather than through it. This
allows the grass bag to fill completely without de-
creasing performance. Grass will fall through the
opening in the front of the hood when the grass bag is
full. Immediately disengage the power take off, set
brake, and shut off ignition. Change or empty grass
bag. Failure to empty or change bag will plug the
chute. After changing bag check that grass clippings
have not fallen into chute.
8. Optional Hi-sail blades (Toro part no. 44-5480)
will give improved performance in wet cutting
conditions.
9. While operating, check frequently for excessive
clippings left on turf or uncut grass. If those condi-
tions occur, the blower or cutting unit may be
plugged. Stop unit, disengage PTO, set brake, and
shut off ignition. Check for obstructions in the chute,
blower or cutting unit. Clear any obstructions using a
stick or similar tool. Check that screen in hood is clear
of obstructions. Check blower belt tension. If slipping,
readjust.
A DANGER
Never place hands or feet in chute,
blower, or cutting unit.
10. Cut grass often, especially when turf growth is
rapid. If shorter turf is desired, cut the grass again.
Overlap swaths to produce an even cutting pattern.
IMPORTANT: When transporting unit, tie down
grass collector hood or back unit onto truck or
trailer to avoid wind throwing hood open and
damaging it.
11. To remove blower assembly, shut off engine,
disengage idler assembly, unlatch and open belt
cover and lift belt off spindle pulley. Close cover.
Remove (2) knobs and washers securing blower to
