WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS - When carrying out maintenance procedures it is
essential that:
- The engine is switched off and the ignition key removed.
- The parking brake is applied.
- There is no pressure in the hydraulic system.
- The cutterdecks are fully down on the ground.

IMPORTANT: PREVENT DAMAGE - Regular maintenance is essential for the continued safe
operation of the machine. Correct servicing will prolong the working life of the machine and
safeguard the "Toro Warranty". Always fit genuine service parts as these are
accurately matched to the required duty.
Dirt and contamination are the enemies of any hydraulic system. When carrying out maintenance
procedures on the hydraulic system always ensure that the work area and the components are
thoroughly clean before, during and after refitting. Ensure that all open hydraulic lines and ports, etc.
are plugged during maintenance procedures.
The recommended service intervals are based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual
conditions will necessitate shorter service intervals.
ALWAYS grease pivot points immediately after pressure washing or steam cleaning, refer - EVERY 50
HOURS, GREASE PIVOT POINTS.

mower. It is essential that this stored energy is safely dissipated before maintenance or other service
or operations are performed on these devices and systems on the machine.
