Preventive Maintenance
To get the most out of your equipment investment, it is important to have a good preventive maintenance
program.
Doing scheduled maintenance and adjustments will prolong the life of your equipment, help prevent
expensive downtime, and give the best possible quality of cut and performance. Experience has shown that a
high percentage of problems that occur in turf equipment have developed over a period of time and could
have been prevented by adjustment, lubrication, or other required maintenance.
Follow the maintenance and adjustment recommendations listed in the Operator’s Manual. Some products
may also have a Quick Reference maintenance decal on the machine. Recommended maintenance intervals
should be considered minimum requirements. If the equipment is operated in particularly harsh conditions,
such as very hot weather, during the “grow in” period after construction, or on top-dressed greens, these
procedures may have to be performed more often.
Use original Toro parts when doing maintenance or repairs. These parts have been tested and designed for
this specific, very demanding, application. “Will fit” parts may look the same and fit, but they can give totally
different performance. Don’t take a risk on your important equipment investment by saving a little money now
that can cost you expensive repairs or increased maintenance intervals later.
