Slope Operation; Maintenance And Storage - Toro 09802 HydroJect 3010 Operator's Manual

• Be sure all drives are in neutral and parking brake is
engaged before starting engine. Start the engine only
from the operator's position.
• Never operate without the shields, covers or other
guards securely in place. Be sure all interlocks are
functioning properly.
• Keep hands and feet away from the nozzle and roller
area. High velocity water jets can penetrate hands and
feet. Penetration by the high velocity water jets can
cause serious personal injury. If accidental penetration
occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
• Never use chemicals in the water supply system.
• Do not operate the water injection system on concrete
or asphalt because water jets will permanently damage
these surfaces.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
water system, all pressure in the system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and opening the bleed
valve. Opening the bleed valve allows any trapped
water to escape from the system and also allows the
accumulator piston to move to the bottom of the
accumulator cylinder.
• Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed
the engine.
• The accumulator in this machine contains high pressure
dry nitrogen. Accumulator servicing requires special
tools and precautions. Accumulators do not contain user
serviceable components. Improper accumulator
servicing can cause dismemberment or death. Do not
attempt to disassemble an accumulator; have this work
done by an Authorized Toro Distributor.
• Stop on level ground, disengage drives, engage parking
brake, shut off engine before leaving the operator's
position for any reason.
• Never carry passengers and keep pets and bystanders
away.
• Be alert, slow down and use caution when making
turns. Look behind and to the side before changing
directions.
• Slow down and use caution when crossing roads and
sidewalks.
• Do not operate the aerator under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
• Use extreme care when loading or unloading the aerator
into a trailer or truck.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees,
or other objects that may obscure vision.

Slope Operation

• Do not operate near drop–offs, ditches, steep banks or
water. Wheels or rollers dropping over edges can cause
rollovers, which may result in serious injury or death.
• Do not operate on slopes when grass is wet. Slippery
conditions reduce traction and could cause sliding and
loss of control.
• Do not make sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
• Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs,
etc. from the operating area. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
• Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that
change the operating angle, as rough terrain could
overturn the aerator.
• Be aware that loss of traction may occur going
downhill. Weight transfer may cause drive wheel to slip
and cause loss of braking and steering.
• Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope. If
tire loses traction, disengage the water injection system
and proceed slowly off the slope.

Maintenance and storage

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which
is an odorless, deadly poison that can kill you.
Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed area.
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search for
leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury. Seek immediate medical attention if fluid is
injected into skin.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the deck
and attachments to the ground.
• Let engine cool before storing and do not store near
flame.
• Shut off fuel while storing or transporting on trailers.
Do not store fuel near flames or drain indoors.
