Inspecting And Cleaning After Mowing; Hauling The Machine; Towing The Machine - Toro Greensmaster 3420 TriFlex Operator's Manual

Inspecting and Cleaning
after Mowing
After mowing, thoroughly wash the machine with a
garden hose without a nozzle so that excessive water
pressure does not contaminate and damage the seals
and bearings. Do not wash a warm engine or the
electrical connections with water.
After cleaning the machine, do the following:
•
Inspect the machine for possible hydraulic
fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and
mechanical components.
•
Inspect the cutting units for sharpness.
•
Lubricate the 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.

Hauling the Machine

•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or a truck.
•
Use a full-width ramp 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 (Figure 27).

Towing the Machine

In case of an emergency, you can tow the machine
for up to 0.4 km (1/4 mile).
Important:
Do not tow the machine faster than 3
to 5 km/h (2 to 3 mph) to avoid damaging the drive
system. If you must move the machine more than
0.4 km (1/4 mile), transport it on a truck or trailer.
