3.
Slowly press on the lower pad of the traction pedal
to move rearward.
CHECK OPERATION OF
INTERLOCK SWITCHES
1.
With the operator off the seat, the traction pedal in
neutral and the PTO switch in the disengage
position, the engine should start. If either the
traction pedal is depressed or the PTO switch is
engaged, the engine should stop. Correct the
problem if the system is not operating properly.
2.
With the operator in the seat, the parking brake
engaged and the engine running, depress the
traction pedal either forward or reverse. The engine
should stop. Correct the problem if the system is not
operating properly.
3.
With the operator in the seat, the parking brake
engaged and engine running, lower the cutting units
to the ground. Engage the PTO switch, the electric
clutch on the engine should engage. Raise the
cutting units, the PTO switch should disengage.
Correct the problem if the system is not operating
properly.
IMPLEMENT LIFT LEVER
Raising Attachments
Pull the implement lift lever rearward to raise an
attachment to the desired height.
Lowering Attachments
Push the implement lift lever forward to lower the
attachment.
NOTE:
Hold the lift lever in the down position for 1–2
seconds after the attachment is down to allow the
attachment to float with changes in ground contour.
PUSHING OR TOWING THE
MACHINE
In an emergency, the traction unit can be pushed or
towed for a very short distance. TORO does not
recommend this as standard procedure.
IMPORTANT:
Do not push or tow the traction unit
faster than 3 to 5 kmh because the transmission may
be damaged. If the traction unit must be moved a
considerable distance, transport it on a truck or
trailer.
1.
To push or tow forward, the traction pedal must be
fully depressed forward.
2.
To push or tow in reverse, the traction pedal must
be fully depressed in reverse.
TRAINING PERIOD
Before mowing with the Grounds Pro 2000, The TORO
Company suggests you find a clear area and practice
starting and stopping, raising and lowering the cutting
units, turning, etc. This training period will be beneficial
in gaining confidence in the performance of the Grounds
Pro 2000.
BEFORE MOWING
Inspect the area for debris and clear the area. Determine
the direction in which the area was last mowed. (Always
mow in an alternate pattern from the previous mowing,
so that the grass blades will be less apt to lay down and
therefore be difficult to gather between the reel blades
and bedknife.)
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
Practice operating the Grounds Pro 2000 and become
thoroughly familiar with it. Because of its hydrostatic
transmission, its characteristics differ from many turf
Operation
17
Do not disconnect the safety switches because they are
for the operator’s protection. Check switch operation
daily to be sure the system is operating correctly. If a
switch is not operating correctly, replace it before
operating the machine. Replace the switches every two
years to be sure of maximum safety.
