Although Toro designs, produces and markets safe,
state-of-the-art products, you are responsible for
using the product properly and safely. You are also
responsible for training persons who you allow to use
the product about safe operation.
The Toro warning system in this manual identifies
potential hazards and has special safety messages that
help you and others avoid personal injury, even death.
DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are signal
words used to identify the level of hazard. However,
regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful.
DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause
serious injury or death if the recommended
precautions are not followed.
WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious
injury or death if the recommended precautions are
not followed.
CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or
moderate injury if the recommended precautions are
not followed. Two other words are also used to
highlight information. “Important” calls attention to
special mechanical information and “Note”
emphasizes general information worthy of special
attention.
