Installation Instructions
Safety
Before Operating
•Read and understand the contents of this manual before
starting and operating the machine. Become familiar
with all controls and know how to stop quickly.
•Never allow children to operate the machine. Do not
allow adults to operate the machine without proper
instruction. Only trained operators, skilled in slope
operation and who have read this manual should operate
this machine.
•Never operate machine when under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
•Remove all debris or other objects that might be picked
up and thrown by cutter blades. Keep all bystanders
away from the operating area.
•Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a shield,
safety device, or decal is defective or damaged, repair
or replace it before operation is commenced. Also,
tighten any loose nuts, bolts, and screws to insure
machine is in safe operating condition.
•Do not wear loose–fitting clothing because it could get
caught in moving parts. Always wear long pants and
substantial shoes. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes,
and a helmet is advisable and required by some local
ordinances and insurance regulations.
•Be sure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so
engine cannot be started unless traction pedal is
released–neutral position–and PTO switch is in
DISENGAGED position.
•Fill fuel tank before starting the engine. Avoid spilling
any fuel. Since fuel is flammable, handle it carefully.
– Use an approved fuel container.
– Do not fill fuel tank when engine is hot or running.
– Do not smoke while handling fuel.
– Fill fuel tank outdoors and only to the bottom of the
filler neck.
– Wipe up any spilled fuel.
While Operating
•Sit on the seat when starting the engine and operating
the machine.
•Before starting the engine:
– Engage parking brake.
– Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and PTO is in
DISENGAGE position.
– After engine is started, release parking brake and
keep foot off traction pedal. Machine must not
move. If movement is evident, the neutral return
mechanism is adjusted incorrectly. Shut engine off
and adjust until machine does not move when
traction pedal is released.
•Do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
•Maximum seating capacity is one person. Therefore,
never carry passengers.
•Check carefully for overhead clearances before driving
under any objects.
•The grass deflector or complete blower assembly must
always be installed on cutting unit.
•To maintain machine control, 75 lb. of weight must be
mounted on left front wheel of traction unit before
using the 15 cu. ft. Hopper kit. Refer to traction Unit
Operator’s Manual for additional weight requirements.
•Operator must be skilled and trained in how to drive on
hillsides. Failure to use caution on slopes or hills may
cause loss of control and vehicle to tip or roll possibly
resulting in personal injury or death.
•Traverse slopes carefully. Do not start or stop suddenly
when traversing slopes or when traveling uphill or
downhill.
•If engine stalls or machine loses headway and cannot
make it to the top of a slope, do not turn machine
around. Always back slowly straight down the slope.
•Using the machine demands the operator’s complete
attention. To prevent loss of control:
– Operate only in daylight or when there is good
artificial light.
– Drive slowly.

2
– Avoid sudden stops and starts.
– Look behind machine before backing up.
– Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
– Do not drive close to a sand trap, ditch, creek, or
hazard.
– Reduce speed when making sharp turns and when
turning on a hillside.
– The cutting deck must be lowered when going down
slopes for steering control.
•The grass deflector must always be installed and in
lowest position on the cutting unit when blower
assembly is removed. This product is designed to drive
objects into the ground where they lose energy quickly
in grassy areas. However. don’t take an injury risk!!
When a person or pet appears unexpectedly in or near
the mowing area, STOP MOWING. Careless operation,
combined with terrain angles, ricochets, or improperly
positioned guards, can lead to thrown object injuries.
Do not resume mowing until area is cleared.
•Never raise the cutting unit while the blades or other
parts are rotating.
•If cutting blades strike a solid object or the machine
vibrates abnormally, disengage PTO, move throttle to
SLOW, set parking brake, and shut engine off. Remove
key from switch to prevent possibility of accidental
starting. Check cutting unit, blower assembly and
traction unit for damage and defective parts. Repair any
damage before restarting the engine and operating the
cutting unit. Assure cutting unit blades are in good
condition and blade bolts are torqued to proper
specifications (See Cutting Deck Operator’s Manual).
•If the cutting unit discharge area or blower assembly
ever plugs, disengage PTO and shut engine off before
removing the obstruction.
•To stop machine, remove foot from traction pedal and
use brakes. Gradually reversing the traction pedal can
provide additional braking.
•Do not touch engine, muffler, or radiator while engine
is running or soon after it has stopped. These areas
could be hot enough to cause a burn.
•Before raising hopper:
– Make sure machine is on level ground.
– Disengage the PTO.
– Clear bystanders from area around hopper and
hopper linkage.
– Check overhead clearance.
•Do not attempt to dump clippings over an embankment.
•Hopper must be fully lowered before driving machine.
•Lower the cutting unit and hopper to their lowest
positions and remove key from switch whenever
machine is left unattended.
•Before getting off the seat:
– Move traction pedal to neutral position and remove
foot from pedal.
– Set the parking brake and disengage the PTO.
– Shut the engine off and remove key from ignition
switch. Wait for all movement to stop before getting
off the seat.
•Never operate collection system with hopper covers
open.
Maintenance
•Remove key from ignition switch to prevent accidental
starting of the engine when servicing, adjusting, or
storing the machine.
•Stay away from hopper and hopper linkage during
operation.
•Do not walk under hopper or service machine unless
hopper is fully raised and empty, with hydraulic lines
disconnected at quick couplers or fully lowered.
•Do not remove any hydraulic line unless hopper is fully
lowered or fully raised and empty.
•If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is desired,
contact an Authorized TORO Distributor.
•To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine free of
excessive grease, grass, leaves, and accumulations of
dirt.
•Make sure machine is in safe operating condition by
keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight. Check all cutting
unit blade mounting bolts frequently to assure they are
torqued to proper specifications (See Cutting Deck
Operator’s Manual).
•Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight, and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
•Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin and do serious damage.
If fluid is ejected into the skin, it must be surgically
removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with
this form of injury or gangrene may result.
•Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be
relieved by stopping engine and lowering implement to
the ground.

3
•If the engine must be running to perform maintenance
or an adjustment, keep clear of PTO shaft, cutting unit
blades, and other moving parts.
•At the time of manufacture, the machine conformed to
safety standards in effect for riding mowers. To ensure
optimum performance and continued safety certification
of the machine, use genuine TORO replacement parts
and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories
made by other manufacturers may result in
non–conformance with the safety standards, and the
warranty may be voided.

is rotating.
Important Refer to the weight chart in the Traction
Unit Operator’s Manual for additional weight requirements.

12
Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Before Operating Hopper
1. Start the engine. Raise and lower the hopper several
times. Move the control valve lever forward to lower
the hopper and in reverse direction to raise the hopper)
2. Check the interlock switch operation as follows:
•Raise the hopper and engage the PTO switch while the
engine is running. The engine should stop within 2
seconds. If the engine stops, the switch is operating
correctly; thus, proceed to next step. If the engine does
not stop, there is a malfunction in the interlock system.
•Raise the hopper and depress the traction pedal while
the engine is running and the PTO lever is disengaged.
The engine should stop within 2 seconds. If the engine
stops, the switch is operating correctly; thus, continue
operation. If the engine does not stop, there is a
malfunction in the interlock system.
3. Stop the engine. Check for hydraulic leaks. Check the
hydraulic fluid level in the front axle and replenish it as
necessary. (Refer to the Traction Unit Operator’s
Manual for specifications).
Hopper Operation
(When used with a 52” or 60” Blower Kit)
1. Move the control valve lever forward to lower the
hopper and in the reverse direction to raise the hopper.
Operating Characteristics
When the grass collector is removed, NEVER
operate without the deflector in place.
Caution
For the best performance, regulate the traction pedal to
keep engine rpm high and somewhat constant. A good rule
to follow is: decrease the ground speed as the load on the
cutting blade increases; and increase the ground speed as
the load on the blade decreases. This allows the engine,
working with the transmission, to sense the proper ground
speed while maintaining high blade tip speed necessary for
good quality–of–cut, vacuuming action, and to throw grass
into the hopper. If the blower speed drops too low, plugging
may result. Refer to the Cutting Unit and Traction Unit
Operator’s Manual for operation of each.
Use care to avoid a collision between the
hopper and any stationary objects. Always
trim with the left side of the cutting unit.
Caution
1. Inflate all the tires on the traction unit to 18–20 psi.
2. This grass collector is designed for use in wet or dry
conditions. Do not collect extremely long grass as the
hopper will fill too quickly.
3. When collecting wet, heavy grass, some clippings may
not be thrown completely through the chute. The hole in
the bottom of the chute allows these clippings to drop
out without plugging the chute. When this happens,
reduce ground speed.
Never place hands or feet in chute, blower, or
cutting unit.
Caution
4. The bumper which protects the blower housing doesn’t
extend far enough to eliminate the chance of the hopper
or hopper frame striking a stationary object. Stay far
enough away from obstructions to avoid collisions.
Trim with the left side of the cutting unit only.
5. While operating, check frequently for excessive
clippings left on the turf or uncut grass. If those
conditions occur, the blower or cutting unit may be
plugged. Stop the unit, disengage the PTO, set the brake
and shut off the ignition. Check for obstructions in the
chute, blower or cutting unit. Clear any obstruction
using a stick or similar tool. Check blower belt tension.
If slipping, readjust.
6. The grass collector hopper is designed to exhaust air
beside the chute. This allows the hopper to fill
completely without decreasing performance. Grass will
fall through the opening in the front of the hopper when
hopper is full. Immediately disengage the power take
off and empty the hopper.
7. Cut the grass often, especially when the turf growth is
rapid. If shorter turf is desired, cut the grass again.
Overlap the swaths to produce an even cutting pattern.
Important When transporting, hopper must be in down
position with rear cover latched over large cover.

13
Hopper & Frame Removal
1. Stop the unit, disengage the PTO, set the brake and shut
off the ignition.
2. Move the hopper control valve lever forward and
reverse a few times to release the pressure in the
hydraulic system.
3. Disconnect the hydraulic line quick couplers.
4. Remove the (2) hair pin cotters securing the tie rods to
the frame.
5. Remove the (2) welded mounting pins and hair pin
cotters securing the hopper to the frame. Remove the
hopper from the frame.
6. Disconnect the wire harness from the switch on the
hopper frame or seat and remove from the traction unit.
Keep harness with hopper.
Note: The hopper frame is heavy. Support the frame when
removing it or have a helper assist you.
7. Remove the disconnect pin securing the rear of the
frame to the machine. Slide the frame off the machine.
8. To prevent the contamination of the hydraulic lines,
connect the hopper lines together.
9. Insert the dust caps over the hydraulic fittings on the
machine.

14
Maintenance
Adjusting the Rear Cover Latch
1. Adjust the latch assembly (Fig. 22) up or down if the
cover does not seal properly or if the cover does not
latch when operating.
1
Figure 22
1. Latch assembly
Never work on hopper unless it is in the
lowered position.
Caution
General Practices
1. Keep the unit clean, checking that engine is free of dirt
and chaff. Make sure all fasteners are tight. Check the
deflectors, baffles and shields for wear and replace as
needed.
2. Clean grass clippings from the hopper, chute, blower
and cutting unit after each use. Wash the underside of
the cutting unit daily with a hose. An excessive buildup
of clippings will impair the collection system
performance.
3. Refer to Cutting Unit and Traction Unit Operator’s
Manuals for service requirements of each.
Lubrication
After every 25 hours of operation, grease the cylinder and
all pivot points with No. 2 multi–purpose lithium base
grease. There are (8) grease fittings at various pivot points
and (1) fitting on each end of cylinder (Fig. 23).

Owner Responsibilities
As the Product owner, you are responsible for required mainte-
nance and adjustments stated in your operator’s manual. Failure

Items and Conditions Not Covered
Not all product failures or malfunctions that occur during the

•Product failures which result from failure to perform required
maintenance and/or adjustments

abusive, negligent or reckless manner

defective. Examples of parts which are consumed, or used up,
during normal Product operation include, but are not limited to,
blades, reels, bedknives, tines, spark plugs, castor wheels,
tires, filters, belts, and certain sprayer components such as
diaphragms, nozzles, and check valves, 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 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 factory remanufactured
parts rather than new parts for some warranty repairs.
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 substi-
tute 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.
Note regarding engine warranty: The Emissions Control System
on your Product may be covered by a separate warranty meeting
requirements established by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and/or the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
The hour limitations set forth above do not apply to the Emissions
Control System Warranty. Refer to the Engine Emission Control
Warranty Statement printed in your operator’s manual or con-
tained in the engine manufacturer’s documentation for details.
Countries Other than the United States or Canada
Customers who have purchased Toro products exported from the United States or Canada should contact their Toro Distributor (Dealer)
to obtain guarantee policies for your country, province, or state. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your Distributor’s service or
have difficulty obtaining guarantee information, contact the Toro importer. If all other remedies fail, you may contact us at Toro Warranty
Company.
