Maintenance And Service - Toro Workman 3000 Series Service Manual

Maintenance and Service

1. Before servicing or making adjustments, turn all ac-
cessories off, put traction pedal in neutral, stop engine,
set parking brake, and remove key from the switch.
2. Make sure vehicle is in safe operating condition by
keeping all nuts, bolts and screws tight.
3. Never store the vehicle or fuel container inside
where there is an open flame, such as near a water heat-
er or furnace.
4. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and
that all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition,
before applying pressure to the system.
5. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks in hy-
draulic lines that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. Use
cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic
fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and
cause injury. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doc-
tor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may re-
sult.
6. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in hydraulic system must
be relieved. To relieve system pressure, push dump le-
ver forward and backward and rotate steering wheel in
both directions after the key switch has been turned off.
7. If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is de-
sired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
8. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and dirt. Clean
protective screen on vehicle frequently.
9. If engine must be running to perform maintenance or
an adjustment, keep clothing, hands, feet, and other
parts of the body away from moving parts. Keep by-
standers away.
10.Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor
setting. To assure safety and accuracy, check maximum
engine speed.
Safety
11. Shut engine off before checking or adding oil to the
engine crankcase.
12.Disconnect battery before servicing the vehicle. Dis-
connect negative (–) battery cable first and positive (+)
cable last. If battery voltage is required for troubleshoot-
ing or test procedures, temporarily connect the battery.
Reconnect positive (+) cable first and negative (–) cable
last.
13.Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Protect your
face, eyes, and clothing when working with a battery.
14.Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks,
and flames away from the battery.
15.To assure optimum performance and continued
safety of the vehicle, use genuine Toro replacement
parts and accessories. Replacement parts and acces-
sories made by other manufacturers may result in non-
conformance with safety standards, and the warranty
may be voided.
16.When raising the vehicle to change tires or to per-
form other service, use correct blocks, hoists, and jacks.
Make sure vehicle is parked on a solid level surface such
as a concrete floor. Prior to raising the vehicle, remove
any attachments that may interfere with the safe and
proper raising of the vehicle. Always chock or block
wheels. Use jack stands or solid wood blocks to support
the raised vehicle. If the vehicle is not properly sup-
ported by blocks or jack stands, the vehicle may move
or fall, which may result in personal injury (see Jacking
Instructions in Operator's Manual).
