Maintenance - Toro 41568 Operator's Manual

Be aware that heavy loads increase your stopping
distance and reduce your ability to turn quickly without
tipping over.
Operating on Hills and Rough Terrain
Operating the sprayer on a hill may cause tipping or rolling
of the sprayer, or the engine may stall and you could lose
headway on the hill. This could result in personal injury.
Do not accelerate quickly or slam on the brakes when
backing down a hill, especially with liquid in the tank.
Never drive across a steep hill; always drive straight up
or down or go around the hill.
If the engine stalls or you begin to lose headway while
climbing a hill, gradually apply the brakes and slowly
back straight down the hill.
Turning while traveling up or down hills can be
dangerous. If you have to turn while on a hill, do it
slowly and cautiously. Never make sharp or fast turns.
Avoid stopping on hills, especially with liquid in the
tank. 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.
Liquid loads will shift when turning, going up or down
hills, suddenly changing speeds, or while driving over
rough surfaces. Shifting loads can cause the sprayer to
tip over. Reduce your speed in these conditions.
Warning
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.

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 could be dangerous. Altering this
sprayer in any manner that may affect sprayer
operation, performance, durability, and may result in
injury or death. Such use could void the product
warranty.
