Pre-Maintenance
Procedures
Maintenance Safety
•
Park the machine on a level surface, engage the
parking brake, and shut off the engine. Wait for all
movement to stop and allow the machine to cool
before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing
the machine.
•
Disconnect the battery or remove the spark-plug
wire before making any repairs. Disconnect the
negative terminal first and the positive terminal
last. Connect the positive terminal first and
negative last.
•
Charge the batteries in an open, well-ventilated
area, away from spark and flames. Unplug the
charger before connecting or disconnecting it from
the battery. Wear protective clothing and use
insulated tools.
•
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.
•
Battery gasses can explode. Keep cigarettes,
sparks, and flames away from the battery.
•
Do not change the engine governor setting or
overspeed the engine.
•
Support the machine with jack stands whenever
you work under the machine.
•
Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
•
Keep all parts in good working condition and all
hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged
decals.
•
Use the cylinder lock to secure the hopper in the
raised position.
•
Never tamper with safety devices.
•
To ensure safe, optimal performance of the
machine, use only genuine Toro replacement
parts. Replacement parts made by other
manufacturers could be dangerous, and such use
could void the product warranty.
•
Seek immediate medical attention if fluid is injected
into skin. Injected fluid must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor.
•
Ensure that all hydraulic-fluid hoses and lines are
in good condition and all hydraulic connections
and fittings are tight before applying pressure to
the hydraulic system. Keep your body and hands
away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject
high-pressure hydraulic fluid.
•
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
•
Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system
before performing any work on the hydraulic
system.
