General Operation
•
Be sure that the area is clear of bystanders before mowing.
Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.
•
Do not touch equipment or attachment parts which may
be hot from operation. Allow all of the parts to cool
before attempting to maintain, adjust, or service the
machine.
•
Use only Toro-approved attachments. Warranty may be
voided if used with any unapproved attachments.
•
Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e. branches,
doorways, electrical wires, etc.) before operating under
any objects, and do not contact them.
•
Slow down before making turns and use extra caution.
•
Use caution when riding the platform over curbs, rocks,
roots, or other obstructions.
•
Look behind and down before backing up to ensure a
clear path. Use extra care when operating in reverse.
•
Do not jerk the controls; use a steady motion.
•
When loading or unloading the machine, use one
full-width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond
the width of the machine.
•
Do not carry passengers.
•
Do not carry equipment on the machine.
Slope Operation
All slopes and ramps require extra caution. If you feel uneasy
on a slope, do not mow it.
•
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from the
mowing area.
•
Watch for holes, ruts or bumps.
Note:
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•
Use caution near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
Note:
The machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel
goes over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
•
Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.
Note:
These can change the stability of the machine.
•
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
•
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
•
Mow slopes side to side.
•
Do not mow slopes greater than 20 degrees.
Service
•
Do not store the machine or a fuel container inside where
there is an open flame, such as near a water heater or
furnace.
•
Keep the nuts and bolts tight, especially the
blade-attachment bolts.
•
Never remove or tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly. Never do anything to interfere
with the intended function of a safety device or to reduce
the protection provided by a safety device.
•
To best protect your investment and maintain optimal
performance of your Toro equipment, count on Toro
genuine parts. When it comes to reliability, Toro delivers
replacement parts designed to the exact engineering
specifications of our equipment. For peace of mind, insist
