Heavy Duty Operation; Jacking The Vehicle - Toro 07252 Operator's Manual

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 and disconnect the wire from the spark plug before you do any
maintenance. Set the wire aside so that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug.
Warning
The bed must be raised to perform some routine
maintenance.
A raised bed can fall and injure persons that are
underneath it.
Always use the prop rod to hold the bed up
before working under it.
Remove any load material from the bed before
working under it.

Heavy Duty Operation

Important If the vehicle is subjected to any of the
conditions listed below, maintenance should be performed
twice as frequently.
Desert operation
Cold climate operation (below 32 F [0 C])
Trailer towing
Frequent operation on dusty roads
Construction work
After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or similar
dirty conditions, have your brakes inspected and
cleaned as soon as possible. This will prevent any
abrasive material from causing excessive wear.
Under frequent heavy duty operating conditions,
lubricate all grease fittings and inspect air cleaner daily
to prevent excessive wear.

engine diagnostics, the rear wheels of the vehicle should be

could slip off the jack, injuring anyone beneath it.

jack.
