Securing The Traction Unit For Transport - Toro 22304 Operator's Manual

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can penetrate skin and cause injury.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this form of
injury or gangrene may result.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Keep body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks, never use your hands.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Quick couplers, hydraulic lines/valves, and
hydraulic fluid may be hot.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Contact with hot hydraulic components or
fluid may cause burns.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Wear gloves when operating the quick
couplers.
Allow the traction unit to cool before
touching hydraulic components.
Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
7. Push the attachment female connector into the
male connector on the traction unit.
8. Confirm that the connection is secure by pulling
on the hoses.
9. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever to neutral.
Removing an Attachment
1. Lower the attachment to the ground
2. Stop the engine.
3. Disengage the quick attach pins by turning them
to the outside.
4. If the attachment uses hydraulics, move the
auxiliary hydraulics lever forward, backward,
and back to neutral to relieve pressure at the
hydraulic couplers.
5. If the attachment uses hydraulics, slide the
collars back on the hydraulic couplers and
disconnect them.
6. Connect the attachment hoses together to prevent
hydraulic system contamination during storage.
7. Install the protective covers onto the hydraulic
couplers on the traction unit.
8. Start the engine, tilt the mount plate forward,
and back the traction unit away from the
attachment.
