Maintenance
Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
Maintenance Safety
•
Before adjusting, cleaning, servicing, or leaving
the machine, do the following:
– Park the machine on a level surface.
– Move the throttle switch to the low-idle position.
– Disengage the cutting units.
– Lower the cutting units.
– Ensure that the traction is in neutral.
– Engage the parking brake.
– Shut off the engine and remove the key.
– Wait for all moving parts to stop.
– Allow machine components to cool before
performing maintenance.
•
If possible, do not perform maintenance while the
engine is running. Keep away from moving parts.
•
Use jack stands to support the machine or
components when required.
•
Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
•
Keep all parts of the machine in good working
condition and all hardware tightened.
•
Replace all worn or damaged decals.
•
To ensure safe, optimal performance of the
machine, use only genuine Toro replacement
parts. Replacement parts made by other
manufacturers could be dangerous, and such use
could void the product warranty.
