Maintenance - Toro 07360 Operator's Manual

– When dumping, do not let anyone stand behind
vehicle and do not dump load on any one's feet.
Release tailgate latches from side of box, not
from behind.
– Keep all bystanders away. Before backing up,
look to the rear and assure no one is behind the
vehicle. Back up slowly.
– Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads.
Always yield the right of way to pedestrians and
other vehicles. This vehicle is not designed for
use on streets or highways. Always signal your
turns or stop early enough so other persons
know what you plan to do. Obey all traffic rules
and regulations.
– Never operate vehicle in or near an area where
there is dust or fumes in the air which are
explosive. The electrical and exhaust systems
of the vehicle can produce sparks capable of
igniting explosive materials.
– Always watch out for and avoid low over hangs
such as tree limbs, door jambs, over head
walkways, etc. Make sure there is enough room
over head to easily clear the vehicle and your
head.
– If ever unsure about safe operation, STOP
WORK and ask your supervisor.
• Do not touch engine, transaxle, radiator, muffler or
muffler manifold while engine is running or soon
after it has stopped because these areas may be hot
enough to cause burns.
• If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop
immediately, turn engine off, wait for all motion
to stop and inspect for damage. Repair all damage
before resuming operation.
• Before getting off the seat:
– Stop movement of the machine.
– Lower bed.
– Shut engine off and wait for all movement to
stop.
– Set parking brake.
– Remove key from ignition.

Maintenance

• Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, stop engine, set parking brake and remove
key from ignition to prevent accidental starting of
the engine.
• Never work under a raised bed without placing bed
safety support on fully extended cylinder rod.
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight, and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.
• Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for
leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate skin and do serious
damage. If fluid is injected into the skin it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor
familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may
result.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on
the hydraulic system, all pressure in system must
be relieved by stopping engine, cycling dump
valve from raise to lower and/or lowering box and
attachments. Place the remote hydraulics lever in
the float position. If box must be in raised position,
secure with safety support.
• To make sure entire machine is in good condition,
keep all nuts, bolts and screws properly tightened.
• To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine
area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and
accumulation of dirt.
• If the engine must be running to perform a
maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing,
and any parts of the body away from the engine and
any moving parts. Keep everyone away.
• Do not overspeed engine by changing governor
settings. Maximum engine speed is 3650 rpm. To
assure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro
Distributor check maximum engine speed with a
tachometer.
• If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is
required, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
• To be sure of optimum performance and safety,
always purchase genuine Toro replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made
by other manufacturers could be dangerous. Altering
this vehicle in any manner may affect the vehicle's
operation, performance, durability or its use may
result in injury or death. Such use could void the
product warranty of The Toro® Company.
• This vehicle should not be modified without
The Toro® Company's authorization. Direct any
inquiries to The Toro® Company, Commercial
Division, Vehicle Engineering Dept., 8111 Lyndale
