Maintenance and Service
22. Before servicing or making adjustments to the ma-
chine, stop the engine and remove the key from the
switch to prevent accidental starting of the engine.
23. When changing attachments, tires or performing
other service, use the correct blocks, hoists and jacks.
Always chock or block the wheels and use jack stands
or solid wood blocks to support the raised machine. If
the traction unit is not properly supported by blocks or
jack stands, the unit may move or fall resulting in per-
sonal injury.
24. Check performance of all interlock switches daily.
Do not defeat interlock system. It is for your protection.
25. Ensure the entire machine is in good operating
condition. Frequently check and keep all nuts, bolts,
screws, and hydraulic fittings tight.
26. Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system,
make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition .
27. 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 the skin and cause serious inju-
ry. lf fluid is injected 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.
28. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be re-
lieved by stopping the engine and lowering cutting units
to the ground.
29. If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is
desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
30. Reduce potential fire hazards. Keep the engine
area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and accu-
mulation of dirt.
31. 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.
32. Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor
settings. To assure safety and accuracy, have an Autho-
rized Toro Distributor check maximum engine speed
with a tachometer.
33. The engine must be shut off before checking oil or
adding oil to the crankcase.
34. To insure optimum performance and safety, use
genuine TORO replacement parts and accessories. Re-
placement parts and accessories made by other man-
ufacturers could be dangerous, and such use could void
the product warranty of The Toro Company.
