Maintenance

CAUTION
Failure to properly maintain the machine could result in premature failure of machine systems
causing possible harm to you or bystanders.
Keep the machine well maintained and in good working order as indicated in these instructions.
Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
Note:
Download a free copy of the electrical or hydraulic schematic by visiting www.Exmark.com and searching
for your machine from the Manuals link on the home page.
Important:
Refer to your engine owner's manual for additional maintenance procedures.
WARNING
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 wires from the spark plugs before you do
any maintenance. Set the wires aside so that they do not accidentally contact the spark plugs.

Maintenance Safety

•
Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing, 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 the cutting units are in the transport position, use
the positive mechanical lock (if available) before
you leave the machine unattended.
•
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.
•
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.
