machine, thereby increasing the load on the engine,
hydraulic system, brakes, etc.
Inspecting and Cleaning after
Mowing
At the completion of the mowing operation, thoroughly wash
the machine with a garden hose without a nozzle so excessive
water pressure will not cause contamination and damage to
the seals and bearings. Never wash a warm engine or
electrical connections with water.
After cleaning, inspect the machine for possible hydraulic
fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and mechanical
components, and the cutting units for sharpness. Also,
lubricate brake shaft assembly with SAE 30 oil or spray
lubricant to deter corrosion and help keep the machine
performing satisfactorily during the next mowing operation.
Driving the Machine without
Mowing
Ensure that the cutting units are fully raised. Move the
functional-control lever to the T
the brakes to slow the machine while going down steep
hills to avoid loss of control. Always approach rough areas
at a reduced speed and cross severe undulations carefully.
Familiarize yourself with the width of the machine. Do not
attempt to pass between objects that are close together so
that costly damage and down time can be prevented.
Hauling the Machine
•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a
trailer or a truck.
•
Use full-width ramps for loading the machine into a
trailer or a truck.
•
Tie the machine down securely using straps, chains, cable,
or ropes. Both front and rear straps should be directed
down and outward from the machine.
Towing the Machine
In case of an emergency, you can tow the machine for a short
distance, less than 0.4 km (1/4 mile); however, Toro does not
recommend this as standard procedure.
Important: Do not tow the machine faster than 3 to
5 km/h (2 to 3 mph) because the drive system may be
damaged. If the machine must be moved a considerable
distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
