Maintenance and Storage

•
Before repairing the machine do the following:
– Disengage the drives.
– Set the parking brake.
– Shut off the engine and remove the key.
– Disconnect the spark-plug wire.
•
Park the machine on a level surface.
•
Clean grass and debris from the cutting unit, drives, mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires.
•
Clean up oil or fuel spills.
•
Let the engine cool before storing the machine.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel near flames or drain the fuel indoors.
•
Do not allow untrained personnel to service the machine.
•
Use jack stands to support the machine and/or components when required.
•
Carefully release pressure from components with stored energy.
•
Disconnect the battery or remove the spark-plug wire before making any repairs. Disconnect the negative
terminal first and the positive terminal last. Connect the positive terminal first and negative last.
•
Use care when checking the blades. Wrap the blade(s) or wear thickly padded gloves, and use caution
when servicing them. Only replace blades; do not straighten or weld them.
•
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If possible, do not make adjustments with the engine running.
•
Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware tightened, especially the blade-attachment bolts.
Replace all worn or damaged decals.
•
Never interfere with the intended function of a safety device or reduce the protection provided by a safety
device. Check their proper operation regularly.
•
To ensure optimum performance and continued safety certification of the machine, use only genuine Toro
replacement parts and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by other manufacturers
could be dangerous, and such use could void the product warranty.
•
Check the parking brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.
