Important:
Maintenance or repairs on the heating system should be carried out by an authorized Toro
distributor or a specialist in vehicle heating systems.
Important:
All work on the refrigerant part of the air-conditioning system should be carried out by
qualified personnel.
•
You can use the air-conditioning system for many months of the cutting season. Follow the regular prescribed
maintenance to prolong the life of the system and ensure efficient operation. Failure to carry out the
prescribed and documented maintenance could invalidate the warranty on the system and its components.
•
Even if the air-conditioning system is used infrequently, follow the maintenance schedule, as aging and
refrigerant loss can occur with time.
•
Low levels of refrigerant can reduce the efficiency of the air-conditioning unit.
•
Extremely low levels can cause the low-pressure switch to shut down the system.
•
To check the refrigerant level, there is an integrated sight glass in the collecting tank. After filling, run the
system for 5 minutes to allow all air bubbles to be purged from the system. Check the level after this period
and top up is necessary. The occasional air bubble can be accepted.
