Toro 22303, Operator'S Manual

Key Switch

The key switch, used to start and stop the engine, has
three positions: stop, run, and start.

To start the engine, rotate the key to the start position.
Release the key when engine starts and it will move
automatically to the run position.

To stop the engine, rotate the key to the stop position.

Throttle Lever

Move the control forward to increase the engine speed and
rearward to decrease speed.

Traction Control Levers

To move forward, move the traction control levers
forward. To move rearward, move the traction control
levers rearward.

To go straight, move both traction control levers equally.

To turn, move the lever located on the side you want to
turn back toward the neutral position while keeping the
other lever engaged.

The farther you move the traction control levers in either
direction, the faster the traction unit will move in that
direction.

To slow or stop, move the traction control levers to
neutral.

Attachment Tilt Lever

To tilt the attachment forward, slowly push the attachment
tilt lever forward.

To tilt the attachment rearward, slowly pull the attachment
tilt lever rearward.

Loader Arm Lever

To lower the loader arms, slowly push the loader arm
lever forward.

To raise the loader arms, slowly pull the loader arm lever
rearward.

Auxiliary Hydraulics Lever

To operate a hydraulic attachment in forward direction,
slowly pull the auxiliary hydraulics lever rearward.

To operate a hydraulic attachment in reverse direction,
slowly push the auxiliary hydraulics lever forward.  This
is also called the detent position because it does not
require operator presence.

Speed Selector Lever

Move the speed selector lever to the fast (rabbit) position
to set the traction drive, loader arms, and attachment tilt to
high speed and the auxiliary hydraulics to low speed.

Move the speed selector lever to the slow (turtle) position
to set the auxiliary hydraulics to high speed and the
traction drive, loader arms, and attachment tilt to low
speed.

If you move the speed selector lever while the
traction unit is in motion, the traction unit will
either stop suddenly or accelerate quickly. If you
operate the traction unit with the speed selector
lever in an intermediate position, the traction unit
will operate erratically and may be damaged. You
could lose control of the traction unit and injure
bystanders or yourself.

•

Do not move the speed selector lever when the
traction unit is in motion.

•

Do not operate the traction unit when the speed
selector is in any intermediate position (i.e., any
position other than fully forward or fully
rearward).

Warning

Hour Meter

The hour meter displays the number of hours of operation
that have been logged on the traction unit.

After 50 hours and every 75 hours thereafter (that is at 50,
125, 200, etc.) the hour meter displays SVC on the lower
left side of the screen to remind you to change the oil and
perform the required maintenance.  After every 400 hours
(400, 800, 1200, etc.), the hour meter displays SVC on the
lower right side of the screen to remind you to perform the
maintenance procedures based on a 400 hour schedule.
These reminders come on starting three hours prior to the
service interval time and flash at regular intervals for six
hours.

Flow Divider Control

The traction unit hydraulics (i.e., the traction drive, loader
arms, and attachment tilt) work on a separate hydraulic
circuit from the auxiliary hydraulics for powering
attachments;  however, the two systems share the same
hydraulic pumps.  Using the flow divider control (Fig.
13), you can vary the speed of the traction unit hydraulics
by diverting hydraulic flow to the auxiliary hydraulics
circuit.  The flow divider allows you to divide the flow of
fluid in varying degrees to slow the traction unit.  Thus,
the more hydraulic flow you divert to the auxiliary
hydraulics, the slower the traction unit hydraulics will
move.
