Maintenance and Service
26. Before servicing or making adjustments, stop en-
gine and remove key from the switch.
27. Assure entire machine is properly maintained and
in good operating condition. Frequently check all nuts,
bolts and screws.
28. Frequently check all hydraulic line connectors and
fittings. Assure all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good
condition before applying pressure to the system.
29. 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. 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 or gangrene may occur.
30. Before any hydraulic system maintenance, stop en-
gine and lower cutting units to the ground so all pressure
is relieved.
31. For major repairs or other assistance, contact your
local Toro Distributor.
32. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and dirt. Clean
protective screen on back of engine frequently.
33. If engine must be running to perform maintenance
or an adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and other
parts of the body away from cutting units and other mov-
ing parts. Keep everyone away.
34. Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor
setting. Maximum engine speed is 2500 rpm + or – 100
rpm. To assure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized
Toro Distributor check maximum engine speed.
35. Shut engine off before checking or adding oil to the
crankcase.
36. Disconnect battery before servicing the machine. If
battery voltage is required for troubleshooting or test
procedures, temporarily connect the battery.
37. Toro recommends that two people be used to back-
lap reels. Each person has specific duties and you must
communicate with one another.
38. For optimum performance and safety, use genuine
Toro replacement parts and accessories. Replacement
parts and accessories made by other manufacturers
could be dangerous and may void the product warranty
of The Toro Company.
39. When changing attachments, tires, or performing
other service, use correct blocks, hoists, and jacks.
Make sure machine is parked on a solid level floor 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. Used jack stands or solid wood blocks to sup-
port the raised machine. If the machine is not properly
supported by blocks or jack stands, the machine may
move or fall, which may result in personal injury.
