2. Pull wire off spark plug if mower will be
unattended or not used. Remove key from switch
on electric start model.
Self-propelled Drive
(Self-propelled models only)
The mower has three ground speeds: number "1" is
slow, "2" is medium, and "3" is a fast walking pace.
1. Move control bar to the RUN/SHIFF position
(Fig. 13).
2. Move ground speed control to desired setting.
3. To engage the self-propel drive, squeeze the
control bar against the handle to the
RUN/DRIVE position (Fig. 13).
Note:
Do not shift speeds while control bar is
squeezed against handle in the
RUN/DRIVE position (Fig. 13); the
transmission could be damaged. Move
control bar to the RUN/SHIFr position
when changing ground speed.
Ground speed can be varied by increasing or
decreasing distance between control bar and handle.
Lower control bar to slow mower when making a turn
or if mower is moving too fast for you. If you lower
control bar too far, the mower will stop
self-propelling. Squeeze control bar closer to handle
to increase ground speed. When control bar is tight
against handle, mower will self-propel at maximum
ground speed. Move ground speed control to
N (NEUTRAL) when using the mower for trimming
and whenever leaving mower.
Pulling Mower Rearward
(Self-propelled models only)
Your mower is equipped with free-wheeling clutches
which make it easier to pull the mower rearward. The
control bar must be lowered enough to disengage the
self-propelled drive and disengage the clutches before
pulling the mower rearward. The mower may need to
be pushed forward one inch or more after control bar
has been released to disengage the self-propelled
drive and disengage the clutches.
For example, if you arc approaching an object such as
a tree or bush from which you want to pull back the
mowel, lower the control bar just enough to
disengage the traction drive when the mower is about
six inches away from the object. The momentum of
the mower should carry it forward at least one inch
which will disengage the clutches. Then you should
be able to easily pull the mower rearward.
The self-propelled cable should be properly adjusted
so that you can lower the control bar comfortably to
stop the traction drive without stopping the engine.
See Self propelled Cable section in the Maintenance
chapter for cable adjustment information. If you need
help, see your Authorized Toro Service Dealer.
Using Discharge Tunnel Plug
Selected models only
.
Make sure engine is off. Open the discharge door
by pulling forward on the handle and moving it
rearwards (Fig. 6). Hold the discharge door
handle to prevent the spring-loaded door t?om
closing while inserting the plug.
2,
Since the plug is slightly wider thin1 the
discharge tunnel opening, you must rotate the
plug clockwise slightly while inserting it
(Fig. 6). Make sure the arrow on the plug decal
is pointing upwards.
3,
Push the plug all the way in until the spring clip
on the bottom of the plug clicks into place,
locking the plug securely into the discharge
tunnel (Fig. 7). Release the discharge door
handle to lock the top of the plug.
.
To remove the plug, move the discharge door
handle rearwards while at the same time lift up
the spring clip on the bottom of the plug. When
the plug is unlocked, pull it out of the discharge
tunnel.
