Cleaning and Inspecting
the Machine
Service Interval: After each use
1. Thoroughly wash the machine with a garden
hose—without a nozzle—so that excessive
water pressure does not cause contamination
and damage to the seals and bearings.
Make sure that the cooling fins and the area
around the cooling-air intake are kept free of
debris.
Important:
Cleaning the oil cooler with
water promotes premature corrosion and
damage to components, and compacts
debris; refer to Cleaning the Oil Cooler (page
37).
2. Inspect the machine for possible hydraulic-fluid
leaks, damage, or wear to hydraulic and
mechanical components.

Preparing the Machine

1. Thoroughly clean the machine, the attachments,
and the engine.
2. Park the machine on a level surface; engage the
parking brake; shut off the engine; remove the
key; and wait for all movement to stop before
leaving the machine.
3. Check the tire pressure; refer to
Tire Pressure (page
4. Check all fasteners for looseness; tighten as
necessary.
5. Grease or oil all grease fittings and pivot points;
refer to Greasing the Machine (page
6. Lightly sand and use touch-up paint on painted
areas that are scratched, chipped, or rusted.

Preparing the Engine

1. Change the engine oil and filter; refer to
Changing the Engine Oil and Filter (page
2. Start the engine and run it at idle speed for 2
minutes.
3. Shut off the engine; remove the key; and wait
for all movement to stop before leaving the
machine.
4. Thoroughly clean and service the air-cleaner
assembly; refer to
(page 25).
5. Seal the air-cleaner inlet and the exhaust outlet
with weatherproof masking tape.
6. Check the oil-filler cap and the fuel-tank cap to
ensure that they are securely in place.

Preparing the Battery

1. Remove the battery terminals from the battery
posts.
2. Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with a
wire brush and a baking-soda solution.
3. Coat the cable terminals and battery posts with
Grafo 112X skin-over grease (Toro Part 505-47)
to prevent corrosion.
4. Slowly charge the battery for 24 hours every 60
days to prevent lead sulfation of the battery.
Note:
The specific gravity of a fully charged
battery measures 1.250.
Note:
Store the battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid
quick deterioration of the charge in the battery. To
