Preparing the Machine for Maintenance
Before performing any maintenance park the machine on level ground, shut off the engine, remove the ignition key, engage
the parking brake, ensure there is no pressure in the hydraulic system, lower the cutting units to the ground, and read the
safety precautions in this manual.
CAUTION
If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously injure
you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition before you perform any maintenance.
Important:
Regular maintenance is essential for the continued safe operation of the machine. Correct servicing
prolongs the working life of the machine and safeguard the Warranty. Always use genuine Toro service parts
as these are accurately matched to the required duty.
Dirt and contamination are the enemies of any hydraulic system. When carrying out maintenance procedures on the hydraulic
system always ensure that the work area and the components are thoroughly clean before, during and after refitting. Ensure that
all open hydraulic lines and ports, etc. are plugged during maintenance procedures.
The recommended service intervals are based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions necessitate
shorter service intervals.
Always grease the pivot points immediately after pressure washing or steam cleaning.
DANGER
The engine, transmission oil, and hydraulic systems are hot after machine use and may cause severe burns.
Allow the systems to cool before working on the machine, particularly before working on the engine
or when changing the oil or oil filters.
