Maintenance

Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
Important:
Refer to your engine owner's manual
for additional maintenance procedures.
Note:
Download a free copy of the electrical or
hydraulic schematic by visiting www.Toro.com and
searching for your machine from the Manuals link on
the home page.
Important:
The fasteners on the covers of this
machine are designed to remain on the cover
after removal. Loosen all of the fasteners on
each cover a few turns so that the cover is loose
but still attached, then go back and loosen them
until the cover comes free. This will prevent you
from accidentally stripping the bolts free of the
retainers.
