WARNING Loading a unit onto a trailer or truck increases the possibility of backward tip-over and could cause serious injury or death. • Use extreme caution when operating a unit on a ramp. • Use only a single, full width ramp; Do not use individual ramps for each side of the unit. • If individual ramps must be used, use enough ramps to create an unbroken ramp surface wider than the unit. • Do not exceed a 15 degree angle between ramp and ground or between ramp and trailer or truck.
Transporting Machines WARNING Driving on the street or roadway without turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead to accidents causing personal injury. Do not drive machine on a public street or roadway without signs, lights, and/or markings required by local regulations. Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary lighting and marking as required by law.
Blade Maintenance Operating Tips Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season because a sharp blade cuts cleanly without tearing or shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which slows growth and increases the chance of disease. Check the blades daily for sharpness, and for any wear or damage. Sharpen the blades as necessary. If a blade is damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement blade.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 10 hours • Check the alternator belt tension. • Check the air conditioning compressor belt tension (cab models). • Torque wheel lug nuts. After the first 50 hours • Change the engine oil and filter. After the first 200 hours • Change the hydraulic oil and filter.
