Maintenance - Toro 41177 Multi-Pro 1250 Operator's Manual

• Heavy loads affect stability. Reduce the weight
of the load and your speed when operating on
hills.
• Avoid stopping on hills, especially with a load.
Stopping while going down a hill will take
longer than stopping on level ground. If the
sprayer must be stopped, avoid sudden speed
changes, which may initiate tipping or rolling
of the sprayer. Do not slam on the brakes
when rolling backward, as this may cause the
sprayer to overturn.
• The Toro Company strongly recommends
installing the optional ROPS Kit when
operating on hilly terrain. If you install a
ROPS, always wear the seat belt when driving
the sprayer.
• Reduce speed and load when operating on
rough terrain, uneven ground, and near curbs,
holes, and other sudden changes in terrain.
Loads may shift, causing the sprayer to become
unstable.
Sudden changes in terrain may cause
abrupt steering wheel movement,
possibly resulting in hand and arm
injuries.
• Reduce your speed when operating on rough
terrain and near curbs.
• Grip the steering wheel loosely around the
perimeter. Keep your hands clear of the
steering wheel spokes.
Loading
The weight of the cargo can change the sprayer
center of gravity and sprayer handling. To avoid
loss of control and personal injury, follow these
guidelines:
• Reduce the weight of the load when operating
on hills and rough terrain to avoid tipping or
overturning of the sprayer.
• Liquid loads can shift. This shifting happens
most often while turning, going up or down
hills, suddenly changing speeds, or while
driving over rough surfaces. Shifting loads can
cause the sprayer to tip over.
• When operating with a heavy load, reduce your
speed and allow for sufficient braking distance.
Do not suddenly apply the brakes. Use extra
caution on slopes.
• Be aware that heavy loads increase your
stopping distance and reduce your ability to
turn quickly without tipping over.

Maintenance

• Only permit qualified and authorized personnel
to maintain, repair, adjust, or inspect the
sprayer.
• Before servicing or making adjustments to
the machine, stop the engine, set the parking
brake, and remove the key from the ignition
to prevent someone from accidentally starting
the engine.
• To make sure that the entire machine is in
good condition, keep all nuts, bolts, and screws
properly tightened.
• To reduce the potential for fire, keep the engine
area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and
accumulation of dirt.
• Never use an open flame to check the level or
leakage of fuel or battery electrolyte.
• If the engine must be running to perform a
maintenance adjustment, keep your hands,
feet, clothing, and any parts of your body away
from the engine and any moving parts. Keep
everyone away.
• Do not use open pans of fuel or flammable
cleaning fluids when cleaning parts.
• Do not adjust the ground speed governor. To
ensure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized
Toro Distributor check the ground speed.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin
hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find leaks.
Fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate
skin and cause injury requiring surgery within a
few hours by a qualified surgeon or gangrene
may result.
• If major repairs are ever needed or assistance
is required, contact an Authorized Toro
Distributor.
• To be sure of optimum performance and safety,
always purchase genuine Toro replacement
parts and accessories. Replacement parts and
accessories made by other manufacturers
