Maintenance and Service
1. Before servicing or making adjustments to the ma-
chine, stop the engine, remove key from switch to pre-
vent accidental starting of the engine.
2. Be sure entire machine is in good operating condi-
tion. Keep all nuts, bolts, screws and hydraulic fittings
tight.
3. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight,and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition be-
fore applying pressure to the system.
4. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have suffi-
cient force to penetrate skin and do serious damage. If
fluid is ejected into the skin it must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of
injury or gangrene may result.
5. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be re-
lieved by stopping engine and lowering cutting units and
attachments to the ground.
6. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine
area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and accu-
mulation of dirt. Never wash a warm engine or electrical
connections with water.

7. Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a regu-
lar basis, and tighten or repair as needed.
8. If the engine must be running to perform a mainte-
nance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and any
other parts of the body away from the cutting units, at-
tachments and any moving parts. Keep everyone away.
9. Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor
settings. To assure safety and accuracy, have an Autho-
rized Toro Distributor check maximum engine speed
with a tachometer. Maximum governed engine speed
should be 3025 ¦50 RPM for the GR3200--D and 2800
RPM for the GR3200.
10. Engine must be shut off before checking oil or ad-
ding oil to the crankcase.
11. If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is
desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
12. At the time of manufacture, the GREENSMASTER
3200/3200--D conformed to safety standards in effect
for riding mowers. To make sure of optimum perfor-
mance and continued safety certification of the ma-
chine, use genuine TORO replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made
by other manufacturers could be dangerous, and such
use could void the product warranty of The Toro Compa-
ny.
