and pull wires off spark plugs to prevent accidental
starting of the engine.
27. Make sure the entire machine is properly maintained
and in good operating condition. Frequently tighten all

28. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.

nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. Use
cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic
fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin
and cause injury. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor or gangrene may occur.
30. 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.
31. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and dirt. Do not
use flammable solvents for cleaning parts. Do not use
diesel fuel, kerosene or gasoline.
32. If the engine must be running to perform an inspec-
tion or procedure, use extreme caution. Always use two
people, with the operator at the controls able to see the
person doing the inspection or procedure. Keep hands,
feet, clothing, and body away from cutting units and
other moving parts.

settings. Maximum governed engine speed should be
2850 rpm.

tance is desired, contact your TORO Distributor.
36. Wear safety glasses, goggles or a face shield to
prevent possible eye injury when using compressed air
for cleaning or drying components.

service, use the correct blocks and hoists. Always use
jackstands to safely support the machine when it is
raised by a jack or hoist.
38. Do not use your hand to prevent cutting unit reel

injury. Use a 1/2 in. thick x 3 in. wide x 8 in. long piece
of hardwood inserted into front of cutting unit between
