machine, stop the engine and pull the spark plug
wire off spark plug to prevent accidental starting of
the engine.
21. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight,and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.
22. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pres-
sure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search
for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and do
serious damage. 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.
23. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and lowering attach-
ments to the ground.

required, contact an Authorized TORO Distributor.

free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and accumula-
tion of dirt.
27. If the engine must be running to perform a mainte-
nance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and
any parts of the body away from the engine and any
moving parts. Keep everyone away.
28. Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor
settings. Maximum engine speed is 3000 rpm. To
assure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro
Distributor check maximum engine speed with a
tachometer.
