High–Low Range Shifter
The high–low range shifter adds 3 additional speeds for
precise speed control (
).
•
The machine must be completely stopped before shifting
between the High and Low range.
•
Shift only on level ground.
•
Press the clutch pedal fully.
•
Move the lever fully forward for High and fully rearward
for Low.
High is for higher speed driving on level, dry surfaces with
light loads.
Low is for low-speed driving. Use this range when greater
than normal power or control is required. For example,
steep grades, difficult terrain, heavy loads, slow speed but
high-engine speed (spraying).
Important:
There is a location between High and Low
in which the transaxle is in neither range. Do not use
this position as a neutral position because the vehicle
could move unexpectedly if the High–Low shifter is
bumped and the gear-shift lever is in gear.
Ignition Switch
Use the ignition switch (
) to start and shut off the
engine. It has 3 positions: O
FF
, O
N
, and S
TART
. Rotate the
key clockwise to the S
TART
position to engage the starter
motor. Release the key when the engine starts. The key moves
automatically to the O
N
position. To shut off the engine,
rotate the key counterclockwise to the O
FF
position.

Hour Meter
The hour meter indicates the total hours of machine
operation. The hour meter (
) starts to function
whenever the key switch is rotated to the O
N
position or if
the engine is running.
Third-High-Lockout Switch
Move the third-high-lockout switch (
) to the S
LOW
position and remove the key to prevent the use of third gear
when in the High range. The engine shuts off if the shift
lever moves to third gear when in High range. The key is
removable in either position.
Light Switch
Push the light switch (
) to toggle the headlights on
or off.
Oil-Pressure-Warning Light
The oil-pressure-warning light glows (
) if the
engine-oil pressure drops below a safe level while the engine
is running. If the light flickers or remains on, stop the vehicle,
shut off the engine, and check the oil level. If the oil level is
low, but adding oil does not cause the light to go out when
the engine is started, shut off the engine immediately and
contact your local Toro distributor for assistance.
Check the operation of warning lights as follows:
1.
Apply the parking brake.
2.
Turn the ignition key to the O
N
position, but do not
start the engine.
Note:
The oil-pressure light should glow red. If the
light does not function, either a bulb is burned out or
there is a malfunction in the system which must be
repaired.
Note:
If engine was just turned off, it may take 1 to
2 minutes for the light to come on.
