Safety Instructions
MAINTENANCE
14. Disconnect the high-tension wire from the spark plug
to prevent accidental starting of the engine when ser-
vicing, adjusting or storing the machine.
15. If the traction unit must be tipped to perform mainte-
nance or an adjustment, drain the gasoline from fuel
tank and oil from crankcase.
16. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine free
of excessive grease, grass, leaves and accumulations
of dirt.
17. Be sure the machine is in safe operating condition by
keeping nuts, bolts and screws tight. Check the tine
mounting bolts and nuts frequently to be sure they are
tightened to specification.
18. If the engine must be running to perform a mainte-
nance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and
other parts of the body away from the tines and other
moving parts.
19. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight, and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.
20. 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 sufficient force to penetrate skin and do serious
damage. If fluid is ejected into the skin it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor
familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may
result.
21. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the
implement to the ground.
22. Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor
settings. To be sure of safety and accuracy, have an
Authorized TORO Distributor check maximum
engine speed with a tachometer.
23. The engine must be shut off before checking oil or
adding oil to the crankcase.

24. Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine
in any enclosure such as a garage or storage shed.
Make sure the fuel tank is empty if the machine is to
be stored more than 30 days. Do not store the
machine near any open flame or where gasoline
fumes may be ignited by a spark. Always store gaso-
line in a safety approved, red metal container.
25. Perform only those maintenance instructions
described in this manual. If major repairs are ever
needed or assistance is desired, contact an Authorized
Toro Distributor. To ensure optimum performance
and safety, always purchase genuine TORO replace-
ment parts and accessories to keep the Toro all
TORO. NEVER USE "WILL-FIT"' REPLACE-
MENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES MADE BY
OTHER MANUFACTURERS. Look for the TORO
Iogo to assure genuineness. Using unproved replace-
ment parts and accessories could void the warranty of
