Maintenance
Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
Maintenance Safety
•
If you leave the key in the switch, someone could
accidently start the engine and seriously injure you
or other bystanders. Remove the key from the
switch before you perform any maintenance.
•
Before you leave the operator’s position, do the
following:
– Park the machine on a level surface.
– Disengage the drives.
– Engage the parking brake.
– Shut off the engine and remove the key.
– Allow machine components to cool before
performing maintenance.
•
Do not allow untrained personnel to service the
machine.
•
Keep your hands and feet away from moving
parts or hot surfaces. If possible, do not make
adjustments with the engine running.
•
Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
•
Check the parking brake operation frequently.
Adjust and service it as required.
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
•
Clean grass and debris from the cutting unit,
muffler, drives, grass catcher, and engine
compartment to prevent fires.
•
Clean up oil or fuel spills and remove fuel-soaked
debris.
•
Do not rely on hydraulic or mechanical jacks to
support the machine; support the machine with
jack stands whenever you raise the machine.
•
Keep all parts in good working condition
and all hardware tightened, especially the
blade-attachment hardware. Replace all worn or
damaged decals.
•
Disconnect the battery before repairing the
machine. Disconnect the negative terminal first
and the positive last. Connect the positive terminal
first and the negative last.
•
To ensure optimum performance, use only
genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories.
Replacement parts and accessories made by
other manufacturers could be dangerous, and
such use could void the product warranty.
