Starting And Stopping The Engine; Setting The Reel Speed - Toro 03540 Reelmaster 5200-D Operator's Manual

4. Turn the key in the ignition switch to the On
position. The electric fuel pump will begin
operation, thereby forcing air out around
the air bleed screw. Leave the key in the On
position until a solid stream of fuel flows out
around the screw.
5. Tighten the screw and turn the key to the Off
position.
Note: Normally, the engine should start after the
above bleeding procedures are followed. However,
if engine does not start, air may be trapped between
injection pump and injectors; refer to Bleeding Air
from the Injectors in Fuel System Maintenance,
page 46.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Important: You must bleed the fuel system
before starting the engine if you are starting
the engine for the first time, the engine has
stopped due to lack of fuel, or you have
performed maintenance on the fuel system;
refer to Bleeding the Fuel System.
Starting the Engine
1. Sit on the seat, keep your foot off of the
traction pedal so that it is in Neutral, engage
the parking brake, set the throttle to the Fast
position, and ensure that the Enable/Disable
switch is in the Disable position.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Preheat
position.
An automatic timer will control the glowplug
preheat for 6 seconds.
3. After preheating the glowplugs, turn key to the
Start position.
Crank the engine for no longer than 15
seconds. Release the key when the engine
starts. If additional preheating is required,
turn key to the Off position and then to the
On/Preheat position. Repeat this process as
required.
4. Run the engine at idle speed or partial throttle
until it warms up.
Note: Move the throttle to the Fast position
when restarting a warm engine.
Stopping the Engine
1. Move all controls to Neutral, set the parking
brake, and move the throttle to the idle
position.
2. Turn the key to the Off position and remove it
from the switch.
Important: Allow the engine to idle for
5 minutes before shutting it off after a full
load operation. Failure to do so may lead
to turbo-charger trouble.

Setting the Reel Speed

To achieve a consistent, high quality-of-cut and a
uniform after cut appearance, it is important that
you set the reel speed controls (located under the
seat) correctly. Adjust the reel speed controls as
follows:
1. Select the height-of-cut at which the cutting
units are set.
2. Choose the desired ground speed best suited
for conditions.
3. Using the appropriate graph on decal 98-9342
(Figure 32) for 5 blade or 8 blade cutting units,
determine the proper reel speed setting.
