If the output LED’s are on as specified, but the machine

does not function properly, this indicates a non–electrical

problem. Repair as necessary.

Note: Due to electrical system constraints, the output

LED’s for “START”, “PREHEAT” and “ETR/ALT” may

not blink even though an electrical problem may exist for

those functions. If the machine problem appears to be with

one of these functions, be certain to check the electrical

circuit with a volt/ohm meter to verify that no electrical

problem exists to these functions.

If each output switch is in the correct position and

functioning correctly, but the output LED’s are not

correctly illuminated, this indicates an ECU problem. If this

occurs, contact your Toro Distributor for assistance.

Important

The Diagnostic ACE display must not be

left connected to the machine. It is not designed to

withstand the environment of the machine’s every day use.

When done using Diagnostic ACE, disconnect it from the

machine and reconnect loopback connector to harness

connector. Machine will not operate without loopback

connector installed on harness. Store Diagnostic ACE in

dry, secure location in shop, not on machine.

Hydraulic Valve Solenoid

Functions

Use the list below to identify and describe the different

functions of the solenoids in the hydraulic manifold. Each

solenoid must be energized to allow function to occur.

S1

Front reel circuit

S2

Rear reel circuit

S3

Lift/lower front wing cutting units

S4

Lift/lower center cutting unit

S5

Lift/lower rear cutting unit

S6

Lower any cutting units

S7

Lift any cutting units

S8, S9

Backlap any cutting units

Operating Characteristics

Familiarization

Before mowing grass, practice operating machine in an

open area. Start and stop the engine. Operate in forward

and reverse. Lower and raise cutting units and engage and

disengage reels. When you feel familiar with the machine,

practice operating up and down slopes at different speeds.

The brakes can be used to assist in turning the machine.

However, use them carefully, especially on soft or wet

grass conditions because the turf may be torn accidentally.

Individual turning brakes may also be used to help maintain

traction. For example, in some slope conditions, the uphill

wheel slips and loses traction. If this situation occurs,

depress uphill turn pedal gradually and intermittently until

the uphill wheel stops slipping, thus, increasing traction on

the downhill wheel.

When operating the machine, always use the seat
belt and ROPS together.

Warning

Warning System

If a warning light comes on during operation, stop the

machine immediately and correct the problem before

continuing operation. Serious damage could occur if the

machine is operated with a malfunction.

Mowing

Start engine and move throttle to FAST so engine is

running at maximum speed. Move the ENABLE/DISABLE

switch to ENABLE and use the LOWER MOW/RAISE

lever to control the cutting units (front cutting units are

timed to lower before the rear cutting units). To move

forward and cut grass, press traction pedal forward.

Transport

Move the ENABLE/DISABLE switch to joy stick

DISABLE and raise the cutting units to the transport

position. Be careful when driving between objects so you

do not accidentally damage the machine or cutting units.

Use extra care when operating machine on slopes. Drive

slowly and avoid sharp turns on slopes to prevent roll

overs. The cutting units should be lowered when going

downhill for steering control.

Important

Allow 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.
