Checking The Hydraulic Lines; Cleaning; Removing Debris From The Machine - Toro 68038 Operator's Manual

Checking the Hydraulic
Lines
Service Interval: Every 40 hours—Check the
hydraulic lines for leaks, loose
fittings, kinked lines, loose mounting
supports, wear, and deterioration.
(Make necessary repairs before
operating.)
Every 1,500 hours/Every 2 years (whichever
comes first)—Replace all moving hydraulic
hoses.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor familiar with
this form of injury, or gangrene may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject high
pressure hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks; never use your hands.

Cleaning

Removing Debris from the
Machine
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Important:
Operating the engine with blocked
screens, dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or
cooling shrouds removed, will result in engine
damage from overheating.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and shut off
the engine. Allow the engine to cool.
2. Unlatch and remove the cowl.
3. Clean any debris from under the hopper.
4. Wipe away debris from the air cleaner.
5. Clean any debris buildup on the engine and in
the transmission with a brush or blower.
Important:
It is preferable to blow dirt
out rather than washing it out. If you use
water, keep it away from electrical items and
hydraulic valves.
Do not use a high-pressure washer.
High-pressure washing can damage the
electrical system and hydraulic valves or
deplete grease.
6. Install the cowl and secure the latches.
