Adjusting the Carrier Frame
2.
For heights of cut in the 6.3 to 10 cm (2-1/2 to 4 inches) range, mount the front carrier frames in the upper, front mounting holes (
).
Note:
This increases the chamber to carrier clearance due to the higher position of the cutting chamber, but causes the cutting unit to reach its maximum up travel more quickly.
No Parts Required
Adjusting the Front Cutting Units
The front and rear cutting units require different mounting positions. The front cutting unit has 2 mounting positions depending on what height of cut and degree of cutting unit rotation you desire.
1.
For heights of cut in the 2 to 7.6 cm (3/4 to 3 inches) range, mount the front carrier frames in the lower, front mounting holes (
Note:
This permits more up travel of the cutting units relative to the machine when approaching sudden changes in uphill terrain. It does, however, limit the clearance of the chamber to the carrier when cresting sharp, small hills.
Adjusting the Rear Cutting Unit
The front and rear cutting units require different mounting positions. The rear cutting unit has 1 mounting position for proper alignment with the
Sidewinder® unit under the frame.
For all heights of cut, mount the rear cutting unit in the rear mounting holes (

Adjusting the Height of Cut
No Parts Required
Procedure
Important:
This cutting deck often cuts approximately 6 mm (1/4 inch) lower than a reel cutting unit with the same bench setting. It may be necessary to have the rotary cutting decks bench set 6 mm (1/4 inch) above that of the reels cutting in the same area.
Important:
Access to the rear cutting units is greatly improved by removing the cutting unit from the machine. If the machine is equipped with a Sidewinder unit, side-wind the cutting units to the right, remove the rear cutting unit, and slide it out to the right side.
1.
Lower the cutting deck to the ground, shut off the engine, and remove the ignition key.
2.
Loosen the bolt securing each height-of-cut bracket to the height-of-cut plate (front and each side) as shown in
5.
Move the chamber to the desired height of cut and install a spacer into the designated
height-of-cut hole and slot ( Figure 19

•
Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.
•
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all movement to stop before you leave the operator’s position. Allow the machine to cool before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
•
Know how to stop the machine and shut off the engine quickly.
•
Check that operator-presence controls, safety switches, and guards are attached and functioning properly. Do not operate the machine unless they are functioning properly.
•
Before mowing, always inspect the machine to ensure that the blades, blade bolts, and cutting assemblies are in good working condition.
Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.
•
Inspect the area where you will use the machine and remove all objects that the machine could throw.
Fuel Safety
•
Use extreme care in handling fuel. It is flammable and its vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.
•
Use only an approved fuel container.
•
Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.
23
•
Do not add or drain fuel in an enclosed space.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water heater or other appliance.
•
If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine; avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel vapors have dissipated.
•
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as they may degrade over time.
•
Fuel filter plugging may occur for a time after you convert to biodiesel blends.
•
For more information on biodiesel, contact your authorized Toro distributor.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Recommended Fuel
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with low (<500 ppm) or ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content.
The minimum cetane rating should be 40. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness.
Important:
Use of non-ultra low sulfur fuel causes damage to the engine emission system.
Fuel tank capacity:
42 L (11 US gallons)
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter grade
(No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that temperature. Use of winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and cold-flow characteristics, which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.
Use of summer-grade fuel above -7°C (20°F) contributes toward longer fuel-pump life and increased power compared to winter-grade fuel.
Important:
Do not use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution damages the engine.
Adding Fuel
1.
Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap (
2.
Remove the fuel-tank cap.
3.
Fill the tank to the bottom of the filler neck.
Do not overfill.
Install the cap.
4.
To prevent a fire hazard, wipe up any spilled fuel.
1.
Fuel-tank cap

g008884
Note:
If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This minimizes buildup of condensation inside the fuel tank.
Using Biodiesel
This machine can also use a biodiesel-blended fuel of up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel).
Sulfur content:
Ultra-low sulfur (<15 ppm)
Biodiesel fuel specification:
ASTM D6751 or
EN14214
Blended fuel specification:
ASTM D975, EN590, or JIS K2204
Important:
The petroleum diesel portion must be ultra-low sulfur.
Observe the following precautions:
•

•
Always wear your seat belt.
Slope Safety
•
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and rollover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. You are responsible for safe slope operation. Operating the machine on any slope requires extra caution.
•
Evaluate the site conditions to determine if the slope is safe for machine operation, including
27
surveying the site. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this survey.
•
Review the slope instructions listed below for operating the machine on slopes and to determine whether you can operate the machine in the conditions on that day and at that site. Changes in the terrain can result in a change in slope operation for the machine.
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction. Make turns slowly and gradually.
•
Do not operate a machine under any conditions where traction, steering, or stability is in question.
•
Remove or mark obstructions such as ditches, holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards.
Tall grass can hide obstructions. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
•
Be aware that operating the machine on wet grass, across slopes, or downhill may cause the machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the drive wheels may result in sliding and a loss of braking and steering.
•
Use extreme caution when operating the machine near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, water hazards, or other hazards. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or the edge caves in. Establish a safety area between the machine and any hazard.
•
Identify hazards at the base of the slope.
If there are hazards, mow the slope with a pedestrian-controlled machine.
•
If possible, keep the cutting unit(s) lowered to the ground while operating on slopes. Raising the cutting unit(s) while operating on slopes can cause the machine to become unstable.
•
Use extreme caution with grass-collection systems or other attachments. These can change the stability of the machine and cause a loss of control.

Standard-Control Module
(SCM)
The Standard-Control Module (SCM) is a potted electronic device produced in a 1-size-fits-all configuration. The module uses solid state and mechanical components to monitor and control standard, electrical features required for safe product operation.
The module-monitor input includes neutral, parking brake, PTO, start, backlap, and high temperature.
The module energizes outputs including PTO, Starter, and ETR (energize to run) solenoid.
The module is divided into inputs and outputs. Inputs and outputs are identified by green LED indicators mounted on the printed circuit board.
The start-circuit input is energized by 12 VDC. All other inputs are energized when the circuit is closed to ground. Each input has an LED that illuminates when the specific circuit is energized. Use the input
LEDs for switch and input-circuit troubleshooting.
Output circuits are energized by an appropriate set of input conditions. The 3 outputs include PTO, ETR, and START. Output LEDs monitor the relay condition, indicating the presence of voltage at 1 of 3 specific output terminals.
Output circuits do not determine output-device integrity, so electrical troubleshooting includes output-LED inspection, conventional device, and wire-harness-integrity testing. Measure the disconnected-component impedance, impedance through the wire harness (disconnect at SCM), or by temporarily test energizing the specific component.
The SCM does not connect to an external computer or handheld device, cannot be programmed again, and does not record intermittent fault troubleshooting data.
The decal on the SCM includes only symbols. The
3 LED output symbols are shown in the output box, while all other LEDs are inputs as shown in

Here are the logical troubleshooting steps for the
SCM device.
1.
Determine the output fault that you are trying to resolve (PTO, START, or ETR).
2.
Move key switch to the O
N position and ensure that the red, power LED illuminates.
3.
Move all of the input switches to ensure that all
LEDs change state.
4.
Position the input devices at the appropriate position to achieve the appropriate output.
Note:
Use the following logic chart to determine the appropriate input condition.
5.
Review the following repair options if a specific output LED illuminates.
•
If a specific output LED illuminates without the appropriate output function, check the output harness, connections, and component.
Note:
Repair as required.
•
If a specific output LED does not illuminate, check both fuses.
•
If a specific output LED does not illuminate and the inputs are in the appropriate condition, install a new SCM and determine if the fault disappears.

Operating Tips
Creating a Site Survey
To perform a site survey, lay a 1.25 m plank (4 ft long
2 x 4) on the slope surface and measure the angle of the slope with the inclinometer provided with the machine. The plank (2 x 4) will average the slope but will not take into consideration dips or holes which can cause a sudden change in side hill angle. After completing the site survey, refer to
.
Additionally, the machine is equipped with an angle indicator mounted on the steering tube. This indicates the side hill angle that the machine is on.
Operating the Machine
•
Start the engine and run it at
HALF IDLE until it warms up. Push the throttle lever all the way forward, lift the cutting units, disengage the parking brake, press the forward traction pedal, and carefully drive to an open area.
•
Practice moving forward and reverse, and starting and stopping the machine. To stop the machine, remove your foot from the traction pedal and let it return to N
EUTRAL or press down on the reverse pedal. When going downhill in the machine, you may need to use the reverse pedal to stop.
•
Practice driving around obstacles with the cutting units up and down. Be careful when driving between narrow objects so that you do not damage the machine or cutting units.
•
On the Sidewinder unit, get accustomed to the reach of the cutting units so that you do not hang them up or damage them.
•
Do not shift the cutting units from side to side unless they are down and the machine is moving, or the cutting units are in the transport position.
Shifting the cutting units when they are down and the machine is not moving may damage the turf.
•
Always drive slowly in rough areas.
•
The Sidewinder unit offers up to a maximum of
33 cm (13 inches) of overhang, allowing you to trim closer to the edge of sand traps and other obstacles, while, at the same time, keeping the tractor tires as far away from the edge of traps or water hazards as possible.
•
If an obstacle is in the way, shift the cutting units to mow around it.
•
When transporting the machine from 1 work area to another, raise the cutting units to the fully upward position, move the mow/transport slide to the left to transport, and place the throttle in the
F
AST position.
Changing Mowing Patterns
Change mowing patterns often to minimize a poor after-cut appearance from repeatedly mowing in the same direction.
Understanding Counterbalance
The counterbalance system maintains hydraulic back pressure on the cutting unit lift cylinders.
This pressure improves traction by transferring the cutting unit weight to the mower-drive wheels. The counterbalance pressure has been set at the factory to an optimal balance of after-cut appearance and traction capability in most turf conditions.
Decreasing the counterbalance setting can produce a more stable cutting unit, but can decrease the traction capability. Increasing the counterbalance setting can increase the traction capability, but may result in a poor after-cut appearance. Refer to the machine
Service Manual
for your traction unit for instructions to adjust the counterbalance pressure.
Resolving After-Cut Appearance
Refer to the
After-cut Appearance Troubleshooting
Guide
available at www.Toro.com.
Using Proper Mowing Techniques
•
To begin cutting, engage the cutting units, then approach the mowing area slowly. Once the front cutting units are over the mowing area, lower the cutting units.
•
To achieve the professional straight-line cut and striping that is desirable for some applications, find a tree or other object in the distance and drive straight toward it.
•
As soon as the front cutting units reach the edge of the mowing area, lift the cutting units, and perform a teardrop-shaped turn to quickly line up for your next pass.
•
To mow around bunkers, ponds, or other contours easily, use the Sidewinder unit and move the control lever to the left or right, depending on your mowing application. You can also shift the cutting units to vary the tire tracking.
•
The cutting units tend to throw grass to the left side of the machine. If you are trimming around bunkers, mow in a clockwise direction to prevent throwing clippings into the bunker.
•
Bolt-in mulching baffles are available for the cutting units. The mulching baffles perform well when you maintain turf on a regular schedule to avoid removing more than 25 mm (1 inch) of growth per cutting. When you cut too much growth
31
with the mulching baffles installed, the after-cut appearance may deteriorate and the observed power to cut the turf increases. The mulching baffles also perform well for shredding leaves in the fall.
After Operation
After Operation Safety
Selecting the Proper Height-of-Cut
Setting to Suit Conditions
Remove no more than approximately 25 mm (1 inch), or 1/3 of the grass blade when cutting. In exceptionally lush and dense grass, you may need to raise your height-of-cut setting.
Mowing with Sharp Blades
A sharp blade cuts cleanly and without tearing or shredding the grass blades like a dull blade. Tearing and shredding causes the grass to turn brown at the edges, which impairs growth and increases susceptibility to diseases. Ensure that the blade is in good condition and that there is a full sail.
Checking the Condition of the
Cutting Unit
Ensure that the cutting chambers are in good condition. Straighten any bends in the chamber components to ensure correct blade tip/chamber clearance.
General Safety
•
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all movement to stop before you leave the operator’s position. Allow the machine to cool before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
•
Clean grass and debris from the cutting units, mufflers, and engine compartment to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills.
•
If the cutting units are in the transport position, use the positive mechanical lock (if available) before you leave the machine unattended.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine in any enclosure.
•
Remove the key and shut off the fuel (if equipped) before storing or hauling the machine.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water heater or on other appliances.
•
Maintain and clean the seat belt(s) as necessary
Maintaining the Machine After
Mowing
After mowing, thoroughly wash the machine with a garden hose with no nozzle to avoid contamination and damage to the seals and bearings caused by excessive water pressure. Ensure that the radiator and oil cooler are kept free of dirt or grass clippings. After cleaning, inspect the machine for possible hydraulic-fluid leaks, damage, or wear to the hydraulic and mechanical components, and check the cutting-unit blades for sharpness.
Important:
After washing the machine, move the
Sidewinder mechanism from left to right several times to remove the water between the bearing blocks and cross tube.

Blade Maintenance
Blade Safety
•
Inspect the blade periodically for wear or damage.
•
Use care when checking the blades. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use caution when servicing the blades. Only replace or sharpen the blades; never straighten or weld them.
•
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
Servicing the Blade
Removing and Installing the
Cutting-Unit Blade(s)
Replace the blade if it hits a solid object, is out of balance, or is bent. Always use genuine Toro replacement blades to ensure safety and optimum performance.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, raise the cutting unit to the transport position, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key.
Note:
Block or lock the cutting unit to prevent it from accidentally falling.
2.
Grasp the end of the blade using a rag or thickly-padded glove.
3.
Remove the blade bolt, anti-scalp cup, and
blade from the spindle shaft ( Figure 72 ).
Note:
After striking a foreign object, torque all spindle-pulley nuts to 115 to 149 N∙m (85 to 110 ft-lb).
Inspecting and Sharpening the
Blade
Note:
Check the blade before using the machine.
Sand and abrasive material can wear away the metal that connects the flat and curved parts of the blade. If you notice wear, replace the blade; refer to
Inspecting and Sharpening the Blade (page 58)
.
1.
Perform the pre-maintenance procedure; refer to
Preparing the Machine for Maintenance (page
.
2.
Block the cutting unit to prevent it from falling accidentally.

Sharpen the blade at this angle only.
g006926
58
5.
Lay the blade on a level surface and check its ends to ensure that the blade is straight and parallel.
Note:
Position the ends of the blade slightly lower than the center, and the cutting edge lower than the heel of the blade. This blade produces a good quality of cut and requires minimal power from the engine. By contrast a blade that is higher at the ends than the center, or if cutting edge is higher than the heel, the blade is bent or warped and must be replaced.
Note:
Ensure that the cutting units are lowered onto a clean section of turf or hard surface to avoid thrown dust and debris.
To verify the stopping time, have an assistant stand at least 6 m (20 ft) away from the cutting unit and watch the blades on 1 of the cutting units. Shut off the cutting units and record the time that it takes for the blades to come to a complete stop. If the time is longer than 7 seconds, the braking valve needs adjustment; contact your authorized Toro distributor for assistance in making this adjustment.

Heel
Note:
The blade ends must be slightly lower than the center, and the cutting edge must be lower than the heel of the blade. These characteristics produce a good quality of cut and require less power from the engine.
Note:
If the blade ends are higher than the center, or if the blade cutting edges are higher than the heel, replace the blade. These characteristics indicate that the blade is bent or warped.
6.
Use the anti-scalp cup and blade bolt to install the blade with the sail facing toward the cutting unit.
7.
Tighten the blade bolt to 115 to 149 N∙m (85 to
110 ft-lb).

California Proposition 65 Warning Information
What is this warning?
You may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following:
WARNING:
Cancer and Reproductive Harm—www.p65Warnings.ca.gov.
What is Prop 65?
Prop 65 applies to any company operating in California, selling products in California, or manufacturing products that may be sold in or brought into
California. It mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other reproductive harm. The list, which is updated annually, includes hundreds of chemicals found in many everyday items. The purpose of Prop 65 is to inform the public about exposure to these chemicals.
Prop 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals but instead requires warnings on any product, product packaging, or literature with the product. Moreover, a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is in violation of any product safety standards or requirements. In fact, the
California government has clarified that a Prop 65 warning “is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is ‘safe’ or ‘unsafe.’” Many of these chemicals have been used in everyday products for years without documented harm. For more information, go to https://oag.ca.gov/prop65/faqs-view-all .
A Prop 65 warning means that a company has either (1) evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the “no significant risk level”; or (2) has chosen to provide a warning based on its understanding about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure.
Does this law apply everywhere?
Prop 65 warnings are required under California law only. These warnings are seen throughout California in a wide range of settings, including but not limited to restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals, and on a wide variety of products. Additionally, some online and mail order retailers provide Prop 65 warnings on their websites or in catalogs.
How do the California warnings compare to federal limits?
Prop 65 standards are often more stringent than federal and international standards. There are various substances that require a Prop 65 warning at levels that are far lower than federal action limits. For example, the Prop 65 standard for warnings for lead is 0.5 μg/day, which is well below the federal and international standards.
Why don’t all similar products carry the warning?
•
Products sold in California require Prop 65 labelling while similar products sold elsewhere do not.
•
A company involved in a Prop 65 lawsuit reaching a settlement may be required to use Prop 65 warnings for its products, but other companies making similar products may have no such requirement.
•
The enforcement of Prop 65 is inconsistent.
•
Companies may elect not to provide warnings because they conclude that they are not required to do so under Prop 65; a lack of warnings for a product does not mean that the product is free of listed chemicals at similar levels.
Why does Toro include this warning?
Toro has chosen to provide consumers with as much information as possible so that they can make informed decisions about the products they buy and use. Toro provides warnings in certain cases based on its knowledge of the presence of one or more listed chemicals without evaluating the level of exposure, as not all the listed chemicals provide exposure limit requirements. While the exposure from Toro products may be negligible or well within the
“no significant risk” range, out of an abundance of caution, Toro has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover, if Toro does not provide these warnings, it could be sued by the State of California or by private parties seeking to enforce Prop 65 and subject to substantial penalties.
