Clearing The Cutting Cylinders - Toro MK3 Operator's Manual

Clearing the Cutting
Cylinders
WARNING
Never attempt to rotate the cutting cylinders
by hand.
There may be some residual pressure in the
hydraulic system, which could cause injury
through sudden movement of the cylinder(s)
when you release the blockage.
• Always wear protective gloves and use a
suitable strong wooden stick.
• Ensure that the wooden stick fits between
the blades and through the cylinder and is
long enough to provide sufficient clearance
and leverage to release the blockage.
1. Stop the machine on level ground.
2. Apply the parking brake and disengage all
drives.
3. Lower the cutting units to the ground or securely
lock in the designated transport positions.
4. Shut off the engine and remove the key to
isolate all power sources and check that they
are stopped.
5. Release all stored energy devices.
6. Check that all moving parts are stationary.
7. Using a suitable strong wooden stick, remove
the blockage. Make sure that the wooden stick
is properly supported in the cylinder and avoid
the use of excessive force to prevent damage.
8. Ensure that the wooden stick is removed from
the cutting cylinder before starting the engine.
9. Repair or adjust the cylinder if required.
