Preparing To Use The Machine; Lowering The Stabilizer Legs - Toro CM-658H-S Operator's Manual

WARNING
Towing the machine with material in the drum
increases the risk of a hitch malfunction and tire
failure. In addition, material could bounce out of
the drum and hit other vehicles and/or people.
Material in the drum increases the weight, which
affects momentum and braking distance.
Do not tow the machine with material in the drum.
•
Review and understand Safe Operating Practices (page 4).
•
Test the brakes of the tow vehicle before towing.
•
Avoid sudden starts and stops while towing the machine.

Preparing to Use the Machine

•
Review all of the safety decals on the machine.
•
Use a hard-hat, hearing protection, a shirt with long
sleeves that are tight at the wrists, tight-fitting gloves
without drawstrings or loose cuffs, eye protection, and
a dust mask or respirator. A mesh visor alone does
not provide sufficient eye protection; supplement with
protective glasses.
•
Ensure that you are familiar with safety regulations and
shutdown procedures described in this Operator's Manual
and the Engine Owner's Manual.
•
Ensure that all guards are in place and in good condition.
•
Ensure that the paddles are in place and in good
condition.
•
For models 68007 and 68008, lower the front and rear
stabilizer legs.
•
Check the fuel and oil levels of the engine.
•
When preparing to mix material:
1. Move the machine to a level job-site surface.
2. Remove the machine from the tow vehicle.
3. Chock the front and back of the tires to prevent
the machine from moving.
4. Ensure that the drum is in the mix position
(upright).
5. Ensure that the drum latch is engaged and that the
drum does not rotate toward the dump position.

Lowering the Stabilizer Legs

Models 68007 and 68008 only
Models 68007 and 68008 have a front stabilizer leg and 2 rear
stabilizer legs to keep the machine from tipping forward or
backward during operation. Move the stabilizer legs into the
lowered position before operating the machine.
1. Pull the clevis pin out from one of the rear stabilizer
legs and the bracket (Figure 29).
2. Slide the stabilizer leg down in the bracket and align
the pin hole of the bracket with the upper hole in the
stabilizer leg (Figure 29).
3. Push the clevis pin through the hole in the bracket and
the stabilizer leg (Figure 29).
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the other rear stabilizer
leg.
5. Lift upward on the tongue to provide clearance for the
front stabilizer leg.
6. Pull the clevis pin out from the front stabilizer leg and
the tongue (Figure 30).
1. Remove the clevis pin.
2. Rotate the stabilizer leg
down.
7. Rotate the front stabilizer leg down toward the ground
