Lubrication; Checking The Lubricant In The Gearbox - Toro 30403 Operator's Manual

CAUTION
If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and
seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition before you do any maintenance.
Important:
The fasteners on the covers of this machine are designed to remain on the cover after
removal. Loosen all the fasteners on each cover a few turns so that the cover is loose but still attached,
then go back and loosen them until the cover comes free. This prevents you from accidentally stripping
the bolts free of the retainers.
