Maintenance and Service
The maintenance procedures and recommended service intervals for your
machine are covered in the traction unit
Operator’s Manual and accessory
Installation Instructions . Refer to this publication when performing regular
equipment maintenance. Several maintenance procedures have break-in
intervals identified in the traction unit
Operator’s Manual and accessory

engine specific maintenance procedures.
•
Before servicing or making any adjustments to the machine, lower any
attachments, shut off the engine, and remove the key from the key switch.
•
Ensure that the machine is in safe operating condition by keeping all the
nuts, bolts, and screws tight.
•
Ensure that all of the hydraulic line connectors are tight and that all the
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to
the hydraulic system.
•
Use eye protection when working on the hydraulic system and its
components.
•
Keep your body and hands away from pin-hole leaks in the hydraulic lines
that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use cardboard or paper to find
hydraulic leaks. The hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate
the skin and cause injury. If hydraulic fluid is accidentally injected into the
skin, you must have it surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor
familiar with this type of injury. Otherwise, gangrene may result.
•
Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system,
release all the pressure in the system by parking the machine on a level
surface, lowering the cutting deck (or implement) completely, and then
shutting off the engine.
•
To reduce potential fire hazards, keep the engine area free of excessive
grease, grass, leaves, and dirt. Clean the protective screen on the machine
frequently.
•
Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a regular basis. Tighten or
repair fuel lines as needed.
•
If you must run the engine to perform maintenance or to make an adjustment,
keep your hands, feet, clothing, and other parts of the body away from any
attachments and other moving parts. Keep bystanders away.
•
Shut off the engine before checking or adding oil to the engine crankcase.
•
Disconnect the battery before servicing the machine. Disconnect the negative
battery cable and then the positive cable. If battery voltage is necessary for
troubleshooting or test procedures, temporarily connect the battery. Connect
the positive battery cable and then the negative cable.
•
Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns. Avoid acid 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.
•
If it is necessary to lift the machine to perform a service procedure; refer
to
Jacking Instructions (page 1–8) .
•
Before performing any welding on the machine, turn the key switch to
the OFF position. To prevent damage to the machine electrical system,
disconnect the ground (-) cable to the frame when welding on the frame, or
disconnect the ground (-) cable to the operator platform when welding on
the operator platform.
•
If major repairs are necessary, contact your Authorized Toro Distributor.
