Starting and Stopping the Engine Starting the Engine 1. Raise the ROPS up and lock into place, sit on the seat and fasten the seat belt. 2. Move the motion controls to neutral locked position. G008947 Figure 20 3. Set the parking brake; refer to Setting the Parking Brake.
Stopping the Engine The Safety Interlock System CAUTION CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they If safety interlock switches are disconnected or move or attempt to operate the tractor while it is damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly unattended.
Testing the Safety Interlock System Using the Motion Control Levers Service Interval: Before each use or daily Test the safety interlock system before you use the machine each time. If the safety system does not operate as described below, have an Authorized Service Dealer repair the safety system immediately.
Stopping the Machine To stop the machine, move the traction control levers to neutral and move to locked position, disengage the power take off (blade control switch (PTO), and turn the ignition key to off.

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut Pin The height-of-cut is adjusted from 1 to 5-1/2 inches (25 to 140 mm) in 1/4 inch (6 mm) increments by relocating the clevis pin into different hole locations. 1. Move the transport lock to the lock position. 2.
Adjusting the Anti-Scalp Rollers Whenever you change the height-of-cut, it is recommended to adjust the height of the anti-scalp rollers. 1. Disengage the blade control switch (PTO), move the motion control levers to the neutral locked position and set the parking brake. 2.
• Allows increased ground speed in heavy conditions. Position A • This position is similar to the benefits of the Toro SFS mower. This is the full rear position. The suggested use for this position is a follows.
Positioning the Seat WARNING The engine and hydraulic drive units can become The seat can move forward and backward. Position the very hot. Touching a hot engine or hydraulic drive seat where you have the best control of the machine units can cause severe burns.
Using the Side Discharge The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf. DANGER Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or complete grass catcher assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris.
Loading Machines Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or trucks. One full width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is recommended instead of individual ramps for each side of the unit (Figure 39). The lower rear section of the tractor frame extends back between the rear wheels and serves as a stop for tipping backward.
If a blade is damaged or worn, replace it immediately with Mow at Correct Intervals a genuine TORO replacement blade. Normally, mow every four days. But remember, grass grows at different rates at different times. So to maintain the same cutting height, which is a good practice, mow more often in early spring.
