•
If the cutting unit discharge area ever plugs, shut
the engine off before removing the obstruction.
•
Cut grass slopes carefully. Do not start, stop, or
turn suddenly.
•
Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine
is running or soon after it has stopped because
these areas could be hot enough to cause burns.
Maintenance and Storage
•
Check the blade mounting bolts frequently to be
sure that they are tightened to specification.
•
Make sure that all hydraulic line connectors are
tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good
condition before applying pressure to the system.
•
Keep your body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under
high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not
your hands, to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid
escaping under pressure can have sufficient force
to penetrate the skin and cause serious injury.
•
Before disconnecting or performing any work on
the hydraulic system, all pressure in the system
must be relieved by stopping the engine and
lowering the cutting units to the ground.
•
If the engine must be running to perform a
maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet,
clothing, and any parts of the body away from the
cutting units, attachments, and any moving parts.
Keep everyone away.
•
Do not overspeed the engine by changing
governor settings. To ensure safety and accuracy,
have an Authorized Toro Distributor check the
maximum engine speed with a tachometer.
•
The engine must be shut off before checking the
oil or adding oil to the crankcase.
•
Make sure that the mower fuel tank is empty if the
machine is to be stored in excess of 30 days. Do
not store the mower near any open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
•
Perform only those maintenance instructions
described in this manual. If major repairs are ever
needed or if assistance is desired, contact an
Authorized Toro Distributor.
•
