Maintenance and Service
1. Before servicing or making adjustments to the ma-
chine, stop the engine and remove key from switch to
prevent accidental starting of the engine.
2. Check performance of all interlock switches daily. Do
not disable or bypass interlock system components.
The interlock system is for your protection.
3. To ensure entire machine is in good operating condi-
tion, frequently check and keep all nuts, bolts, screws
and hydraulic fittings tight.
4. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight, and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition be-
fore applying pressure to the system.
5. 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 suffi-
cient force to penetrate skin and do serious damage. lf
fluid is injected into the skin it must be surgically re-
moved within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this
form of injury or gangrene may result.
6. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be re-
lieved by stopping engine and lowering cutting units to
the ground.
7. If major r epairs are ever needed, or if assistance is
desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
8. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and accumula-
tion of dirt.
9. If the engine must be running to perform a mainte-
nance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and any
other parts of the body away from the cutting units and
any moving parts. Keep everyone away.
10.Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor
settings. To assure safety and accuracy, have an Autho-
rized Toro Distributor check maximum engine speed
withatachometer.
11.Engine must be shut off before checking oil or adding
oil to the crankcase.
12.To insure optimum performance and safety, use gen-
uine Toro replacement parts and accessories. Replace-
ment parts and accessories made by other
manufacturers could be dangerous, and such use could
void the product warranty of The Toro Company.
