Maintenance and Storage
• Do not touch equipment or attachment parts which may
be hot from operation. Allow to cool before attempting
to maintain, adjust, or service.
• Never store the machine or fuel container inside where
there is an open flame, such as near a water heater or
furnace.
• Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially the blade
attachment bolts. Keep equipment in good condition.
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search for
leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury. If 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.
• If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance
adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and any parts of
the body away from the cutting units, attachments, and
any moving parts. Keep everyone away.
• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as
required.
• 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 gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and
flames away from the battery.
• The engine must be shut off before checking the oil or
adding oil to the crankcase.
• If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is
desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
• To make sure of optimum performance and 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.
