Maintenance and Service
1. Before servicing or making adjustments, lower cut-
ting units, apply parking brake, stop engine andremove
key from the ignition 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 thereis anopen flame, such asneara waterheat-
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 t o the hydraulic system.
5. Keepbody andhands awayfrom pinholeleaks i nhy-
draulic lines that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. Use
cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic
fluid escaping under pr essure can penetrate skin and
cause injury. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must besurgically 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
hydraulicsystem, all pressure inthe system must be re-
lieved by using all of the hydraulic controls with the en-
gine not running (see Relieving Hydraulic Pressure in
the General Information section of Chapter 4 - Hydrau-
lic System).
7. Use care when checking or servicing the cutting
units. Wear appropriate gloves and use caution when
servicing them.
8. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and dirt. Clean
protective screen on machine frequently.
9. I f engine must be running to perform maintenanceor
to make an adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and
other parts of the body away from the cutting units and
other moving parts. Keep bystanders away.
10.To assure safety and accuracy, check maximum en-
gine speed.
11.Shut engine off before c hecking or adding oil to the
engine crankcase.
12.Disconnect 12 VDC battery located at the rear of the
machine beforeservicing themachine. Disconnect neg-
ative battery cable first and positive cable last. If battery
voltage is required for troubleshooting or test proce-
dures, temporarily connect the battery. Reconnect posi-
tive battery cable first and negative cable last.
13.Before installing, removing or working on 48 VDC
system components (e.g. cutting units, motor/genera-
tor), separatesystem components from the48 VDCbat-
tery pack by unplugging the 48 VDC battery disconnect
(see 48 VDC Battery Disconnect in the General Infor-
mation section of C hapter 5 - Electrical System). Plug
the connector back in before operating the machine.
14.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.
15.Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks
and flames away from the battery.
16.When changing tires, attachments or performing
other service, use correct jacks, hoists and supports.
Make sure machine is parked on a solid level floor 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 jack stands or appropriate load holding de-
vices to support the raised machine. If the machine is
not properly supported, the machine may move or fall,
which may result inpersonal injury (see Jacking Instruc-
tions in this section).
17.If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is de-
sired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
18.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 the TEC controller and disconnect the terminal
connector from the alternator. Attach welder ground
cable no more than two (2) feet (0.6 meters) from the
welding location.
19.Make sure to dispose of potentially harmful waste
(e.g. fuel, oil, engine coolant, filters, batteries) in an en-
vironmentally safe manner . Follow all local codes and
regulations when recycling or disposing of waste.
20.At the time of manufacture, the machine conformed
to the safety standards for riding mowers. To assure op-
timum performance andcontinued safety certificationof
the machine, use genuine Toro replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement parts andaccessories made
by other manufacturers may result in non-conformance
with the safety standards, and the warranty may be
voided.
