Clearing A Blocked Rotor; Checking The Front Guards; Checking The Cutting Unit Pivot - Toro LT-F3000 Operator's Manual

Clearing a Blocked Rotor

WARNING
Residual pressure in the hydraulic system
could cause injury through sudden movement
of the flail rotor(s) when the blockage is
released.
• Never attempt to rotate or clear blockage
from the flail rotors by hand.
• Always wear protective gloves and use a
wooden pole.
• Ensure that the wooden pole fits in the
flail rotor and is long enough to provide
sufficient leverage to release the blockage.
1. Set the cutting-unit-drive switch to the O
position.
2. Park the machine on level ground, release the
forward or reverse travel pedals, set the throttle
control to the slow engine-speed position, and
engage the parking brake.
3. Lower the cutting units to the ground or securely
lock them in the designated transport position.
4. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for
the flail rotors to stop moving.
5. Use a wooden pole to remove the blockage.
Important:
The flail rotor may rotate when
you release the blockage.
Important:
Support the wooden pole in the
cutting unit to avoid using excessive force
when you remove the blockage.
6. Remove the wooden pole from the cutting unit
before you start the engine.
7. Repair or adjust the cutting unit if necessary.
