Before Operating CAUTION Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the engine and remove the key from the switch. CHECK THE ENGINE OIL (Fig. 2 & 3) Crankcase capacity is 5 l with filter. Park the machine on a level surface. Release the hood latch Figure 2 Hood latch and open the hood.
If coolant is low, remove the degasser tank cap and add a 50/50 mixture of water and Peugeot-recommended anti-freeze (Toro Part No. 93-7213). DO NOT USE WATER ONLY OR ALCO- HOL/METHANOL BASE COOLANTS.

Note: A red dye additive for the hydraulic system fluid is available in 20 ml bottles. One bottle is sufficient for 15–23 l. of hydraulic fluid. Order Part No. 44-2500 from your Authorized Toro Distributor Position the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units and stop the engine.
If the level is low, add fluid to raise the level to the full mark. Install the dipstick and cap onto the filler neck. CHECK THE PLANETARY GEAR DRIVE OIL (Fig. 7) Check the oil if external leakage is noted. Use high-quality SAE 85W-140 wt.
CHECK REEL-TO-BEDKNIFE CONTACT Each day before operating, check reel-to-bedknife contact, regard- less of whether the quality of cut had previously been acceptable. There must be light contact across the full length of the reel and bedknife (refer to Adjusting Reel to Bedknife in Cutting Unit Operator's Manual).
Controls Traction Pedal (Fig. 9)—Controls forward and reverse operation. Depress the top of the pedal to move forward and bottom to move backward. Ground speed depends on how far the pedal is depressed. For no-load, maximum ground speed, fully depress the pedal while the throttle is in FAST.

Low Water Level Light (Fig. 10)—Warns that the coolant water level is low. Height-of-Cut Selector Knob (Fig. 11)—Turning the knob to the appropriate setting informs the electronic controller at what height- of-cut the machine is being operated so desired clip may be obtained.
Figure 14 Seat adjusting lever Seat adjusting knob Operating Instructions CAUTION Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the engine and remove the key from the switch. STARTING AND STOPPING Sit on the seat; keep your foot off the traction pedal. Assure the parking brake is engaged, the traction pedal is in NEU- TRAL, the throttle is in the SLOW position and the ENABLE/ DISABLE switch is in the DISABLE position.
Run the engine at idle speed or partial throttle until the engine warms up. To stop, move all controls to NEUTRAL and set the parking brake. Return the throttle to the idle position, turn the key to OFF and remove it from the switch. PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM (Fig.
will illuminate, warning that the desired clip is not being main- tained. For example, if the traction speed is zero, the reels will still run at the minimum speed of about 500 RPM, which will result in a clip smaller than desired and cause the Reel Control light to illumi- nate.
ensure satisfaction with the quality of cut. The height-of-cut knob may be set one position on either side of the position on the chart to account for differences in grass condition, grass length removed, and personal preference of the superintendent. For a cut with more grass removed but slightly more clip visi- bility, move the height-of-cut selector knob one position higher than specified.
In this case, refer to the Diagnostic Display section of this manual, check the service manual or contact your local authorized Toro Distributor. PUSHING OR TOWING THE MACHINE In an emergency, the Reelmaster 6500-D can be moved by actuating the by-pass valve in the variable displacement hydraulic pump and pushing or towing the machine.
IMPORTANT: Running the engine with the by-pass valve open will cause the transmission to overheat. DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT (Fig. 19) The RM 6500-D is equipped with a diagnostic light which indicates whether or not the electronic controller is functioning correctly. The diagnostic light is located on the steering tower panel.
CHECKING THE INTERLOCK SWITCHES The purpose of the interlock switches is to prevent the engine from cranking or starting unless the traction pedal is in NEUTRAL, the Enable/Disable switch is in DISABLE and the Lower Mow/Raise control is in the neutral position. In addition, the engine will stop when the traction pedal is depressed with the operator off the seat.

Maintenance GREASING BEARINGS AND BUSHINGS (Fig. 22–30) The machine has grease fittings that must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease. If the machine is operated under normal condi- tions, lubricate all bearings and bushings after every 50 hours of operation or immediately after every washing.
CAUTION Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the engine and remove the key from the switch. GENERAL AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE Check the air cleaner body for damage which could possibly cause an air leak. Replace a damaged air cleaner body. Service the air cleaner filters whenever the air cleaner indicator Figure 31 (Fig.
C. Dry the filter element using warm, flowing air (71° C) max), or allow element to air-dry. Do not use a light bulb to dry the filter element because damage could result. Compressed Air Method A. Blow compressed air from the inside to the outside of the dry filter element.
FUEL SYSTEM (Fig. 37 & 38) Fuel Tank Drain and clean the fuel tank every 800 hours of operation or year- ly, whichever comes first. Also, drain and clean the tank if the fuel system becomes contaminated or if the machine is to be stored for an extended period.
Note the position of the gaskets and o-ring when disassembling from the filter. Install a new filter, gaskets, o-ring with the filter assembly cap.

some components. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking brakes and remove the key from the ignition switch. Clean the area around the filter mounting area. Place the drain pan under the filter and remove the filter. Lubricate the new filter gasket and fill the filter with hydraulic fluid.
After wheel rotation ceases, tighten the jam nuts to secure adjustment. Stop the engine and release the right brake. Remove the jack stands and lower the machine to the shop floor. Test drive the machine to make sure it does not creep. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING UNIT LIFT RATE (Fig.

Place the drain pan under the hub, remove the plug and allow the oil to drain. When all oil has been drained, position the wheel so the plug hole is at three or nine o'clock position.
Note: When backlapping, the front units all operate together, and the rear units operate together. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking brake, and move the Enable/Disable switch to the Disable position. Unlock and raise the seat to expose the controls.
