Maintenance and Service
1. Before servicing or making adjustments, lower deck,
stop engine, apply parking brake and remove key from
the switch.
2. Make sure machine is in safe operating condition by
keeping all nuts, bolts and screws tight.
3. Never store the machine or fuel container inside
where t here is an open flame, such as near a water heat-
er or furnace.
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 in hy-
draulic lines that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. Use
cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic
fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and
cause injury. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doc-
tor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may re-
sult.
6. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be re-
lieved by lowering cutting deck to the ground and stop-
ping engine.
7. If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is de-
sired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
8. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and dirt. Clean
protective screen on machine frequently.
9. If engine must be running to perform maintenance or
an adjustment, keep h ands, feet, clothing and other
parts of the body away from cutting deck and other mov-
ing parts. Keep bystanders away.
10.To assure safety and accuracy, check maximum en-
gine speed.
11.Shut engine off before checking or adding oil to the
crankcase.
12.Disconnect battery before servicing the machine.
Disconnect n egative cable first and positive cable last.
If battery voltage is required for troubleshooting or test
procedures, temporarily connect the battery. Reconnect
positive cable first and negative cable last.
13.Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Protect your
face, eyes and clothing when working with a battery.
14.Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks
and flames away from t he battery.
15.At the time of manufacture, the machine conformed
to the safety standards for riding mowers. To assure op-
timum performance and continued safety certification of
the machine, use genuine Toro replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement partsandaccessoriesmade
by other manufacturers may result in non-conformance
with the safety standards and the warranty may be
voided.
16.When changing attachments, tires or performing
other service, use correct jacks and supports. Make
sure machine is parked on a solid level surface such as
a concrete floor. Prior to raising the machine, remove
any attachments that may interfere with the safe and
proper raising of the machine. Always chock or block
wheels. Use appropriate jack stands to support the
raised machine. If the machine is not properly supported
by jack stands, the machine may move or fall,which m ay
result in personal injury (see Jacking Instructions in this
chapter).
17.When welding on machine, disconnect battery
cables to prevent damage to machine electronic equip-
ment. Disconnect negative battery cable first and posi-
tive cable last. Also, disconnect wire harness connector
from both of the TEC controllers, disconnect and re-
move the engine ECU and disconnect the terminal con -
nector from the alternator. Attach welder ground cable
no more than two (2) feet (0.61 meters) from the welding
location.
18.Make sure to dispose of potentially harmful waste
(e.g. fuel, oil, engine coolant, filters, battery) in an envir-
onmentally safe manner. Follow all local codes and reg-
ulations when recycling or disposing of waste.
