Leak Detector Operation

The leak detector alarm may sound for one of the following
reasons:
•
A leak of 118-177 ml (4 to 6 ounces) has occurred.
•
The oil level in the main reservoir is reduced by 118–177
ml (4 to 6 ounces) due to contraction of the oil by cooling.
If the alarm sounds, it should be turned off as quickly as
possible and inspected for leaks. If the alarm sounds while
operating on a green it may be appropriate to drive off the
green first. The source of the leak should be determined and
repaired before continuing operation. If a leak is not found,
and a false leak is suspected, move the ignition switch to the
Off position and allow the machine to stand for 1-2 minutes
to allow the oil levels to stabilize. Then start the machine and
operate in a non-sensitive area to confirm no leak exists.
False alarms, due to oil contraction, may be caused by
extended idling of the machine after normal operation. A
false alarm may also occur, if the machine is worked at a
reduced workload after an extended period of a heavier
workload. To avoid false alarms, turn the machine off rather
than idling for extended periods.

Transport Operation

Make sure the cutting units are in the full up position. Set the
shift selector in No. 2 if conditions will permit faster ground
speed. Shift to No. 1 and operate at slower ground speeds
in rough or hilly areas. Use the brakes to slow the machine
while going down steep hills to avoid loss of control. Always
approach rough areas at a reduced speed (shift selector in
No. 1), and cross severe undulations carefully. Familiarize
yourself with the width of the machine. Do not attempt to
pass between objects that are close together so that costly
damage and down time can be prevented.
Inspection and Cleanup After
Mowing
At the completion of the mowing operation, thoroughly wash
the machine with a garden hose without a nozzle so excessive
water pressure will not cause contamination and damage to
the seals and bearings. After cleaning, inspect the machine for
possible hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and
mechanical components, and the cutting units for sharpness.
Also, lubricate brake shaft assembly with SAE 30 oil or spray
lubricant to deter corrosion and help keep the machine
performing satisfactorily during the next mowing operation.

Towing the Traction Unit

In case of an emergency the machine can be towed for a short
distance (less than 0.4 km (1/4 mile)). However, Toro does
not recommend this as standard procedure.
Important: Do not tow the machine faster than 3-5
km/h (2-3 mph) because the drive system may be
damaged. If the machine must be moved a considerable
distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
1. Locate the bypass valve on the pump and rotate it so
that the slot is vertical (Figure 31 ).

rotating it so that the slot is horizontal (Figure 31). Do
not start the engine when the valve is open.
