Note: Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
Before Operation
Before Operation Safety
General Safety
•
Never allow children or untrained people to
operate or service the machine. Local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator. The owner
is responsible for training all operators and
mechanics.
•
Become familiar with the safe operation of the
equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.
•
Park the machine on a level surface; engage the
parking brake, shut off the engine, remove the key,
and wait for all movement to stop before leaving
the machine.
•
Know how to stop the machine and engine quickly.
•
Check that operator-presence controls, safety
switches, and shields are attached and functioning
properly. Do not operate the machine unless they
are functioning properly.
•
Before operating, always inspect the machine
to ensure that the components and fasteners
are in good working condition. Replace worn or
damaged components and fasteners.
Fuel Safety
•
Use extreme care in handling fuel. It is flammable
and its vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
16
Use only an approved fuel container.
•
Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot.
•
Do not add or drain the fuel in an enclosed space.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.
•
If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine;
avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel
vapors have dissipated.
Breaking in the Machine
New engines take time to develop full power. Drive
systems have more friction when they are new,
placing additional load on the engine.
Allow the first 8 hours of operating time for the
break-in period.
Since the first hours of operation are critical to future
dependability of the machine, monitor the functions
and performance closely so that you can notice and
correct minor difficulties, which could lead to major
problems. Inspect the machine frequently during
the break-in period, for signs of oil leakage, loose
fasteners, or any other malfunction.
Installing and Removing
the Weights
The machine complies with the ANSI B71.4-2012
standards at the time of production. However,
when the following attachments are installed on the
machine, additional weight is required to comply to
the standards. Use the chart below to determine the
additional weight required. The machine comes with 4
weights. Each attachment comes with the necessary
additional weights, if required.

kit, install the front light by inserting the bolt
through the weights and securing it with the nut;
refer to the Light Kit Installation Instructions.
Checking the Level of the
Engine Oil
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check
the level of the engine oil.
Toro Premium Engine Oil is available from your
Authorized Toro Distributor.
Crankcase Capacity: 1.8 L (1.7 US qt) with filter
change
Use 4-cycle engine oil that meets or exceeds the
following requirements:
•
API service category: SJ, SL, SM, or higher
•
Viscosity: SAE 30; refer to the following chart for
other viscosities (Figure 13):
17
Important: Using multi-viscosity oils, such as
10W-30, increases oil consumption. Check the
oil level more frequently when using them.
g023445
Figure 13
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
attachment, move the control handles to the
neutral-locked position, engage the parking

Dipstick
g008792
Figure 15
3.
Insert the dipstick into the fill tube without
threading it into the port.
4.
Remove the dipstick from the tube and check
the oil level. If the oil level is low, slowly pour
only enough oil into the fill tube to raise the oil
level to the upper-limit mark on the dipstick
Important: Keep the engine oil level
between the upper and lower limits on the
dipstick. Engine failure may occur as a result
of running the engine with too much or too
little engine oil.
5.
Install the dipstick firmly in place.
Important: The dipstick must be fully seated
in the tube to provide proper sealing of
the engine crankcase. Failure to seal the
crankcase may result in engine damage.
18
Filling the Fuel Tank
Fuel tank capacity: 17 L (4.5 US gallons)
Recommended Fuel:
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than
30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol
(gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl
ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE
are not the same. Gasoline with 15% ethanol
(E15) by volume is not approved for use. Never
use gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol
by volume, such as E15 (contains 15% ethanol),
E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains 85%
ethanol). Using unapproved gasoline may cause
performance problems and/or engine damage
which may not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel
containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer
is used.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.

Checking the Level of the
Hydraulic Fluid
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check
the level of the hydraulic fluid.
Important: For accuracy, check the level of the
hydraulic fluid only when the engine and the
hydraulic system are cold.
The reservoirs of the machine are filled at the factory
with high-quality hydraulic fluid. The best time to
check the hydraulic fluid is when the fluid is cold. The
machine should be in the transport configuration. If
the fluid level is below the top of the horizontal part of
the cut-out sight window on the rear of the hydraulic
reservoirs (Figure 17), add fluid to bring the fluid to
the acceptable level. Do not overfill the reservoirs.
If the fluid level is at the top of the horizontal part of
the sight window, no fluid addition is required. The
recommended replacement fluid is:
Fluid Type: Toro Premium Transmission/Hydraulic
Tractor Fluid or Mobilfluid® 424
Capacity:
•
Left side—1.9 L (2.0 US qt)
•
Right side—2.0 L (2.1 US qt)
Alternative fluids: If the specified fluid is not available,
other universal tractor hydraulic fluids (UTHF) may
be used, but they must be only conventional,
petroleum-based products, not synthetics or
biodegradable fluids. The specifications must fall
within the listed range for all of the following material
properties and the fluid should meet listed industry
standards. Check with your fluid supplier to see if the
fluid meets these specifications.
Note: Toro will not assume responsibility for damage
caused by improper substitutions, so use only
products from reputable manufacturers who will stand
behind their recommendation.

Figure 25
Raking a Sand Trap
Read this entire section on raking before raking a
sand trap. There are many conditions that determine
the adjustments necessary. The texture and depth of
the sand, moisture content, weeds, and the amount of
compaction are all factors that can vary from course to
course, or even from trap to trap on the same course.
Make the adjustments on the rake for optimum results
in your particular area.
Learning How to Rake
Practice raking in a large and level trap on the course.
Practice starting and stopping, turning, raising and
lowering the rake, entering and leaving the trap, etc.
Practice at a moderate engine speed and a slow
ground speed. This training helps the operator to gain
confidence in the performance of the machine.
The recommended pattern for raking a trap is shown
in Figure 26. This pattern avoids unnecessary
overlap, keeps compaction to a minimum, and leaves
a neat, attractive pattern on the sand. This is the most
efficient raking method, however, it is important to
vary the raking pattern regularly to reduce the chance
of creating a washboard effect.
25
Enter a trap straight into
the long dimension in a
level area.
2.
Exit a trap at a right angle
in a level area.
Enter the trap straight into the long dimension, where
the bank is the least steep. Drive through the center
of the trap almost to the end, turn to either direction
as sharp as you can, and come back right next to the
first pass. Spiral outward as shown in Figure 26, and
leave the trap at a right angle in a level area.
Leave steep, short banks and small pockets for
touch-up with a hand rake.
Raking Tips
•
If the sand is deep enough, you can rake right up
to the edge of the trap in level areas.
•
If the sand feathers out to the turf, stay far enough
away from the edge to avoid disturbing the
underlying soil.
•
Do not rake too close to a short, steep bank. The
sand will merely flow down into the bottom of the
trap.
•
Some touch-up with a hand rake may be necessary
on steep banks, small pockets, etc.
Entering and Leaving the Trap
When entering the trap, do not lower the rake until it is
over the sand. This avoids cutting the turf or dragging
grass clippings or other debris into the trap. Lower the
rake while the machine is moving.
When leaving the trap, start raising the rake when the
front wheel leaves the trap. As the machine moves
out, the rake will be lifting and will not drag sand out
onto the grass.
Through experience and practice, the operator will
soon understand the required timing for entering and
leaving the trap properly.
After Operation
After Operation Safety
•
Clean grass and debris from the muffler and
engine compartment to help prevent fires. Clean
up oil or fuel spills.
•
Park the machine on a level surface; engage the
parking brake; shut off the engine; remove the key;
and wait for all movement to stop before leaving
the machine.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine
in any enclosure.
•
Shut off the fuel before storing or transporting the
machine.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or on other appliances.
•
Keep all parts of the machine in good working
condition and all hardware tightened.
•
Maintain and clean the seat belt(s) as necessary.
•
Replace all worn or damaged decals.
Pushing or Towing the
Machine
WARNING
The engine and hydrostatic transmissions
can become very hot and cause severe burns.
Allow the engine and hydrostatic
transmissions to cool completely before
accessing the bypass-valve levers.
Important: Do not tow the machine for long
distances or at high speeds. Doing so could
damage the machine. You can tow the machine
slowly from the grooming surface to the on-site
trailer.
The bypass-valve levers are located on the top of
each hydrostatic transmission.
Important: Ensure that the bypass-valve levers
are in the fully forward position when operating
the machine, or severe damage to the hydraulic
system can occur.
26
Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
attachment, move the control handles to the
neutral-locked position, engage the parking
brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key.
2.

Tie-down points
Loading the Machine
Use extreme caution when loading or unloading the
machine onto a trailer or a truck. Use a full-width ramp
that is wider than the machine for this procedure.
Important: Do not use narrow individual ramps
for each side of the machine.
The trailer or truck and ramp should be as level as
possible when loading the machine to avoid getting
the attachment caught as the machine moves from
the ground to the ramp.
If you are loading the machine on or near a slope,
position the trailer or truck so that it is on the down
side of the slope and the ramp extends up the slope;
this minimizes the ramp angle.
WARNING
Loading the machine onto a transport vehicle
increases the possibility of tipping over and
could cause serious injury or death.
•
Use extreme caution when operating the
machine on a ramp.
•
Ensure that the ROPS is installed and
secure and use the seat belt when loading
or unloading the machine. Ensure that the
ROPS clears the top of an enclosed trailer.
•
Use only a full-width ramp; do not use
individual ramps for each side of the
machine.
•
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration
while driving the machine on a ramp, as
this could cause a loss of control or a
tip-over.
•
Ensure that an attachment is installed and
in the raised position when loading the
machine onto a transport vehicle.

California Proposition 65 Warning Information
What is this warning?
You may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following:
WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm—www.p65Warnings.ca.gov.
What is Prop 65?
Prop 65 applies to any company operating in California, selling products in California, or manufacturing products that may be sold in or brought into
California. It mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other
reproductive harm. The list, which is updated annually, includes hundreds of chemicals found in many everyday items. The purpose of Prop 65 is to
inform the public about exposure to these chemicals.
Prop 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals but instead requires warnings on any product, product packaging, or literature with
the product. Moreover, a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is in violation of any product safety standards or requirements. In fact, the
California government has clarified that a Prop 65 warning “is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is ‘safe’ or ‘unsafe.’” Many of these
chemicals have been used in everyday products for years without documented harm. For more information, go to https://oag.ca.gov/prop65/faqs-view-all.
A Prop 65 warning means that a company has either (1) evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the “no significant risk level”; or (2)
has chosen to provide a warning based on its understanding about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure.
Does this law apply everywhere?
Prop 65 warnings are required under California law only. These warnings are seen throughout California in a wide range of settings, including but not
limited to restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals, and on a wide variety of products. Additionally, some online and mail order
retailers provide Prop 65 warnings on their websites or in catalogs.
How do the California warnings compare to federal limits?
Prop 65 standards are often more stringent than federal and international standards. There are various substances that require a Prop 65 warning
at levels that are far lower than federal action limits. For example, the Prop 65 standard for warnings for lead is 0.5 μg/day, which is well below
the federal and international standards.
Why don’t all similar products carry the warning?
•
Products sold in California require Prop 65 labelling while similar products sold elsewhere do not.
•
A company involved in a Prop 65 lawsuit reaching a settlement may be required to use Prop 65 warnings for its products, but other companies
making similar products may have no such requirement.
•
The enforcement of Prop 65 is inconsistent.
•
Companies may elect not to provide warnings because they conclude that they are not required to do so under Prop 65; a lack of warnings for a
product does not mean that the product is free of listed chemicals at similar levels.
Why does Toro include this warning?
Toro has chosen to provide consumers with as much information as possible so that they can make informed decisions about the products they buy and
use. Toro provides warnings in certain cases based on its knowledge of the presence of one or more listed chemicals without evaluating the level of
exposure, as not all the listed chemicals provide exposure limit requirements. While the exposure from Toro products may be negligible or well within the
“no significant risk” range, out of an abundance of caution, Toro has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover, if Toro does not provide these
warnings, it could be sued by the State of California or by private parties seeking to enforce Prop 65 and subject to substantial penalties.

Owner Responsibilities
As the Product owner, you are responsible for required maintenance and
adjustments stated in your Operator's Manual. Failure to perform required
maintenance and adjustments can be grounds for disallowing a warranty
claim.
Items and Conditions Not Covered
Not all product failures or malfunctions that occur during the warranty
period are defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty does not
cover the following:
•
Product failures which result from the use of non-Toro replacement
parts, or from installation and use of add-on, or modified non-Toro
branded accessories and products. A separate warranty may be
provided by the manufacturer of these items.
•
Product failures which result from failure to perform recommended
maintenance and/or adjustments. Failure to properly maintain your
Toro product per the Recommended Maintenance listed in the
Operator’s Manual can result in claims for warranty being denied.
•
Product failures which result from operating the Product in an abusive,
negligent, or reckless manner.
•
Parts subject to consumption through use unless found to be defective.
Examples of parts which are consumed, or used up, during normal
Product operation include, but are not limited to, brake pads and
linings, clutch linings, blades, reels, rollers and bearings (sealed or
greasable), bed knives, spark plugs, castor wheels and bearings, tires,
filters, belts, and certain sprayer components such as diaphragms,
nozzles, and check valves, etc.
•
Failures caused by outside influence. Conditions considered to be
outside influence include, but are not limited to, weather, storage
practices, contamination, use of unapproved fuels, coolants, lubricants,
additives, fertilizers, water, or chemicals, etc.
•
Failure or performance issues due to the use of fuels (e.g. gasoline,
diesel, or biodiesel) that do not conform to their respective industry
standards.
•
Normal noise, vibration, wear and tear, and deterioration.
•
Normal “wear and tear” includes, but is not limited to, damage to seats
due to wear or abrasion, worn painted surfaces, scratched decals or
windows, etc.
Parts
Parts scheduled for replacement as required maintenance are warranted
for the period of time up to the scheduled replacement time for that part.
Parts replaced under this warranty are covered for the duration of the
original product warranty and become the property of Toro. Toro will make
the final decision whether to repair any existing part or assembly or replace
it. Toro may use remanufactured parts for warranty repairs.
Deep Cycle and Lithium-Ion Battery Warranty:
Deep cycle and Lithium-Ion batteries have a specified total number of
kilowatt-hours they can deliver during their lifetime. Operating, recharging,
and maintenance techniques can extend or reduce total battery life. As the
batteries in this product are consumed, the amount of useful work between
charging intervals will slowly decrease until the battery is completely worn
out. Replacement of worn out batteries, due to normal consumption,
is the responsibility of the product owner. Battery replacement may be
required during the normal product warranty period at owner’s expense.
Note: (Lithium-Ion battery only): A Lithium-Ion battery has a part only
prorated warranty beginning year 3 through year 5 based on the time
in service and kilowatt hours used. Refer to the Operator's Manual for
additional information.
Maintenance is at Owner’s Expense
Engine tune-up, lubrication, cleaning and polishing, replacement of filters,
coolant, and completing recommended maintenance are some of the
normal services Toro products require that are at the owner’s expense.
General Conditions
Repair by an Authorized Toro Distributor or Dealer is your sole remedy
under this warranty.
Neither The Toro Company nor Toro Warranty Company is liable for
indirect, incidental or consequential damages in connection with the
use of the Toro Products covered by this warranty, including any
cost or expense of providing substitute equipment or service during
reasonable periods of malfunction or non-use pending completion
of repairs under this warranty. Except for the Emissions warranty
referenced below, if applicable, there is no other express warranty. All
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for use are limited to
the duration of this express warranty.
Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or consequential
damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above
exclusions and limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.
