Maintenance and Service

Safety: Safety Instructions
1. Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the engine and
remove key from switch to prevent accidental starting of the engine.
2. Check performance of all interlock switches daily. Do not defeat interlock
system. It is for your protection.
3. To ensure entire machine is in good operating condition, frequently check
and keep all nuts, bolts, screws and hydraulic fittings tight.
4. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight, and 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 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. lf fluid is injected 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.
6. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system, all
pressure in system must be relieved by stopping engine and lowering cutting
units to the ground.
7. If major repairs are ever needed, or if assistance is desired, contact an
Authorized Toro Distributor.
8. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine area free of excessive
grease, grass, leaves and accumulation of dirt.
9. If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance adjustment, keep
hands, feet, clothing, and any other parts of the body away from the cutting
units and any moving parts. Keep everyone away.
10. Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor settings. To assure
safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro Distributor check maximum
engine speed with a tachometer.
11. Engine must be shut off before checking oil or adding oil to the crankcase.
12. To insure optimum performance and safety, use 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 of The Toro Company.
13. Disconnect battery before servicing the machine. Disconnect negative
battery cable first and positive cable last. If battery voltage is required
for troubleshooting or test procedures, temporarily connect the battery.
Reconnect positive battery cable first and negative cable last.
14. 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.
15. Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks and flames away from
the battery.
16. When changing attachments, tires or performing other service, use correct
jacks, hoists and jack stands. Make sure machine is parked on a solid
level surface such as a concrete floor. Prior to raising the machine, remove
any attachments that may interfere with the safe and proper raising of the
machine. Always chock or block wheels. Use appropriate jack stands to
support the raised machine. If the machine is not properly supported by jack
stands, the machine may move or fall, which may result in personal injury
