Maintenance
Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
WARNING
Modifying the original machine, parts,
and/or accessories may alter the warranty,
controllability, and safety of the machine.
Making unauthorized modifications to the
original machine and/or not using genuine
Toro parts could lead to serious injury or
death.
•
Do not make unauthorized modifications to
the machine, parts, and/or accessories.
•
Use only genuine Toro parts.
Maintenance Safety
•
Before adjusting, cleaning, servicing, or leaving
the machine, do the following:
– Park the machine on a level surface.
– Disengage the drives and the power take-off.
– Engage the parking brake.
– Shut off the machine and remove the key.
– Wait for all moving parts to stop.
– Allow machine components to cool.
•
Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
•
Check the parking brake operation frequently.
Service the brake as needed.
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
•
Do not rely solely on mechanical or hydraulic jacks
to support the machine; support the machine with
jack stands whenever you raise the machine.
•
Use care when checking the blades. Wrap the
blades or wear gloves, and use caution when
servicing the blades. Only replace or sharpen the
blades; never straighten or weld them.
•
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
•
Keep your hands and feet away from hot surfaces.
•
Keep all hardware tightened, especially the
blade-attachment hardware.
