on slopes or hills may cause loss of control, possibly
resulting in personal injury or death.
•
Do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
•
Lightning can cause severe injury or death. If lightning
is seen or thunder is heard in the area, do not operate
the machine; seek shelter.
•
When using a Workman as a tow vehicle, it is
recommended to put 227 kg (500 lb) of weight into the
vehicle bed when operating on any slopes.
Maintenance
•
Park machine on level ground. Never allow untrained
personnel to service the machine.
•
Use jack stands to support components when required.
Performing maintenance on a machine not properly
supported may cause the machine to fall and could cause
injury.
•
Carefully release pressure from components with stored
energy.
•
Disconnect battery or remove spark-plug wires before
making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal
first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and
negative last.
•
Remove the key from the ignition switch to prevent
accidental starting of the engine when servicing, adjusting,
or storing the machine.
•
To reduce a potential fire hazard, keep the engine free of
excessive grease, grass, leaves, and accumulations of dirt.
Never wash a warm engine or any electrical parts with
water.
•
Be sure that the machine is in safe operating condition by
keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight. Check the chopper
shaft bearing mounting bolts and nuts frequently to be
sure that they are tightened to specification.
•
If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance
adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and other parts of
the body away from the chopper and other moving parts.
•
Do not overspeed the engine by changing the governor
settings. To be sure of safety and accuracy, have your
Toro Distributor check the maximum engine speed with a
tachometer.
•
The engine must be shutoff before checking the oil or
adding oil to the crankcase.
•
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If possible,
do not make adjustments with the engine running.
•
Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away
from spark and flames. Unplug charger before connecting
or disconnecting from battery. Wear protective clothing
and use insulated tools.
•
Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware
tightened. Replace all worn or damaged decals.
•
Use only Toro approved attachments. Warranty may be
voided if used with unapproved attachments.
•
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate
skin and do serious damage. Keep body and hands away
from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar
with this form of injury or gangrene may result.
•
Perform only those maintenance instructions described in
this manual. If major repairs are ever needed or assistance
desired, contact your Toro Distributor.
•
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.
•
To ensure that the optimum performance is being met
and for 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.
Hauling
•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a
trailer or truck.
•
Use full width ramps for loading machine into trailer or
truck.
•
Tie the machine down securely using straps, chains, cable,
or ropes. Both front and rear straps should be directed
down and outward from the machine.
