Maintenance
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.
- The safety precautions in this manual have been read and understood.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Stored energy devices and systems are used on the R3240T
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.
Dissipate stored energy as described below:
Hydraulics:
Transmission System: Ensure that the machine is on level ground, engage the parking brake and switch the
engine off. Depress for forward and reverse travel pedals alternatively several times.
Cutterdeck Lift System: Lower the cutterdecks to the ground and switch the engine off. Raise and lower the
lift levers several times leaving them in the 'down/float' position.
Cutterdeck Drive System: Lower the cutterdecks to the ground with the cutterdeck drive switch in the 'off'
position and switch the engine off.
Wing Cutterdeck Gas Springs: Lower the wing cutterdecks to the ground ensuring that the movement of the
cutterdeck is not impeded in anyway.
Operator Platform Gas Spring: Raise the platform fully.
Steering: Ensure that the machine is on level ground, engage the parking brake and switch off the engine.
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 safe-
guard the 'Warranty'. Always fit genuine 'TORO 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 to EVERY 50
HOURS, GREASE PIVOT POINTS.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - The engine, transmission oil and hydraulic systems will be hot
after machine use. Allow the systems to cool before working on the machine, particularly before work-
ing on the engine or when changing oil or oil filters.
