Engine Temperature Light
If the engine temperature light is on, the engine is
overheating. Stop the engine and allow the traction unit
to cool down. Check the coolant level and the belts to the
fan and water pump. Fill the coolant as required and
replace any worn or slipping belts. If the problem
persists, contact your Authorized Toro Dealer for
diagnostics and repair.
Oil Pressure Light
This light is on for a few seconds whenever you start the
engine. If the oil pressure light is on while the engine is
running, the engine oil pressure is low. Stop the engine

and allow the traction unit to cool down. Check the oil
level and fill the crankcase with oil as needed. If the
problem persists, contact your Authorized Toro Dealer for
diagnostics and repair.
Battery Light
This light is on for a few seconds whenever you start the
engine. If the battery light is on while the engine is
running, the alternator, battery, or electrical system is
broken. Contact your Authorized Toro Dealer for
diagnostics and repair.
Glow Plug Light
This light is on when the key is turned to run before
starting the engine. The glow plug light will remain on
for up to 10 seconds, indicating that the glow plugs are
warming the engine. If the glow plug light is on while the
engine is running, the glow plugs are broken. Contact
your Authorized Toro Dealer for diagnostics and repair.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Starting the Engine
1. Stand on the platform.
2. Move the auxiliary hydraulics valve lever to neutral.
3. Move the throttle lever midway between slow (turtle)
and fast (rabbit) positions.
4. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the run
position.
Note: The battery, oil pressure, and glow plug lights will
come on.
5. When the glow plug light turns off, turn the key to the
start position. When the engine starts, release the key.
Note: A warm or hot engine may be started without
waiting for the light to turn off.
Important
Do not engage the starter for more than 10
seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start, allow a 30
second cool-down period between attempts. Failure to
follow these instructions can burn out the starter motor.
6. Move the throttle lever to the desired setting.
Important
If the engine is run at high speeds when the
hydraulic system is cold (i.e., when the ambient air
temperature is around freezing or lower), hydraulic system
damage could occur. When starting the engine in cold
conditions, allow the engine to run in the middle throttle
position for 2 to 5 minutes before moving the throttle to
fast (rabbit).
