hills may cause loss of control, possibly resulting in
personal injury or death.

Maintenance
• Let engine cool before storing and do not store near
flame.
• Do not store fuel near flames or drain indoors.
• Park machine on level ground. Never allow untrained
personnel to service machine.
• Use jack stands to support components when
required. Performing maintenance on machine not
properly supported may cause machine to fall and
could cause injury.
• Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
• Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wires
before making any repairs. Disconnect the negative
terminal first and the positive last. Reconnect
positive first and negative last.
• Remove the key from the ignition switch to prevent
accidental starting of the engine when servicing,
adjusting, or storing the machine.
• To reduce a potential fire hazard, keep the engine free
of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and accumulations
of dirt. Never wash a warm engine or any electrical
parts with water.
• Be sure that the machine is in safe operating
condition by keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight.
Check the chopper shaft bearing mounting bolts and
nuts frequently to be sure that they are tightened to
specification.
• If the engine must be running to perform a
maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing,
and other parts of the body away from the chopper
and other moving parts.
• Do not overspeed the engine by changing the
governor settings. To be sure of safety and accuracy,
have an Authorized Toro Distributor check the
maximum engine speed with a tachometer.
• The engine must be shut off before checking the oil
or adding oil to the crankcase.
• Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If
possible, do not make adjustments with the engine
running.
• Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area,
away from spark and flames. Unplug charger before
connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear
protective clothing and use insulated tools.
• Keep all parts in good working condition and all
hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged
decals.
• Use only Toro approved attachments. Warranty may
be voided if used with unapproved attachments.
• Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and do serious damage. Keep body
and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that
eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. Use cardboard
or paper to find hydraulic leaks. Fluid accidentally
injected into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this
form of injury or gangrene may result.
• Perform only those maintenance instructions
described in this manual. If major repairs are ever
needed or assistance desired, contact an Authorized
TORO Distributor.
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight, and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.
• To be sure of optimum performance and safety,
always purchase genuine TORO replacement parts
and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories
made by other manufacturers could be dangerous.
Altering this machine in any manner may affect the
machine's operation, performance, or durability, or
its use may result in injury or death. Such use could
void product warranty of The Toro Company.
