Preparing For Maintenance; Tilting The Cab - Toro LT-F3000 Operator's Manual

Important:
Do not spill compressor oil on the vehicle surface. It can cause discoloration of vehicle
paint and deterioration of acrylic or ABS plastic components.
•
When attaching the refrigerant hoses, oil the sealing rings with refrigerant oil.
•
After removal of refrigerant hoses from the air-conditioner system, always replace the O-rings with new ones
specified for refrigerant 134A.
•
When tightening or loosening fittings, always use 2 wrenches to prevent the tubes from twisting.

Preparing for Maintenance

Preform the following steps each time you maintain
the machine.
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Engage the parking brake and lower the cutting
units.
3. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
4. Wait for all moving parts to stop.

Tilting the Cab

You can tilt the cab for access under the operator
platform for cleaning and maintenance.
The cab and the operator platform tilt together as
a single unit. The angle of tilt is less than that of a
platform without a cab. This is to ensure that, owing to
the weight and position of the tilted cab, the machine
has sufficient stability when you tilt the cab.
Tilting the Cab Forward
1. Ensure that the rear widow is shut and locked.
2. At the cross beam near the back of the cab,
remove the 2 hairpins that secure the latch pins
to the cab supports.
3. Rotate the latch-pin handles so that they point
upward (Figure 21).

4. Slide the latch pins inboard, and remove them
from the cab supports.
Note:
If the latch pins are difficult to remove,
move the handles of the latch pins back and
forth to help free the pins from the flange holes
and beam bracket holes.
5. At either sides of the cab, slowly lift the grab
handle on rear corner post until the cab is fully
raised.
Note:
Gas spring lift cylinders help you raise
the cab, and stop it from tilting further when it
is fully raised.
6. Remove the cab-support bracket from the
storage compartment.
