12.Raise the cutting units when driving from one work
area to another.
13.Do not touch engine, muffler, exhaust pipe or hydrau-
lic tank while engine is running or soon after it has
stopped because these areas could be hot enough to
cause burns.
14.If a cutting unit strikes a solid object or vibrates ab-
normally, stop immediately. Turn engine off, wait for all
motion to stop and inspect for damage.
Maintenance and Service
1. Before servicing or making adjustments to the ma-
chine, stop the engine and remove key from switch to
prevent accidental starting of the engine.
2. Check performance of all interlock switches daily. Do
not defeat interlock system. It is for your protection.
3. To ensure entire machine is in good operating condi-
tion, frequently check and keep all nuts, bolts, screws
and hydraulic fittings tight.
4. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight, and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition be-
fore applying pressure to the system.
5. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have suffi-
cient force to penetrate skin and do serious damage. lf
fluid is injected into the skin it must be surgically re-
moved within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this
form of injury or gangrene may result.
6. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be re-
lieved by stopping engine and lowering cutting units to
the ground.

nance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and any
other parts of the body away from the cutting units and

oil to the crankcase.
12.To insure optimum performance and safety, use gen-
uine TORO replacement parts and accessories. Re-
