Operator's Manual

4
• Perform only those maintenance instructions described
in this manual. If major repairs are ever needed or
assistance is desired, contact an Authorized Toro
Distributor.
• To reduce a potential fire hazard, keep the engine free
of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and accumulations of
dirt. Never wash a warm engine or any electrical parts
with water.
• Be sure that the machine is in safe operating condition
by keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight. Check the rotor
bearing mounting bolts and nuts frequently to be sure
that they are tightened to specification.
• Make sure that 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 in
hydraulic lines 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 doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene
may result.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the blower
to the ground.
• If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance
adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and other parts
of the body away from the fan and other moving parts.
• The engine must be shut off before checking the oil or
adding oil to the crankcase.
• At the time of manufacture, the blower conformed to
safety standards in effect for riding mowers; therefore,
to ensure optimum performance and safety, always
purchase genuine Toro replacement parts and
accessories to keep the machine all Toro. Never use
“will-fit” replacement parts and accessories made by
other manufacturers. Look for the Toro logo to ensure
genuineness. Using unapproved replacement parts and
accessories could void the warranty.
