Safety Instructions

Your Groundsmaster meets or exceeds safety standard
specifications when weights are installed according to
information in the Operator's Manual. Although hazard
control and accident prevention are partially dependent
upon the design and configuration of the machine, these
factors are also dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern and proper training of the personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the
machine. Improper use or maintenance of the machine
can result in injury or death. To reduce the potential for
injury or death, comply with the following safety instruc-
tions.

Before Operating

1. Review and understand the contents of the Opera-
tor's Manual and Operator Training DVD before starting
and operating the machine. Become familiar with the
controls and know how to stop the machine and engine
quickly. A replacement Operator's Manual is available
on the Internet at www.Toro.com.
2. Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place.
If a shield, safety device or decal is defective, illegible
or damaged, repair or replace it before operating the
machine.
3. Tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws to ensure
machine is in safe operating condition.
4. Assure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so
engine cannot be started unless traction pedal is in
NEUTRAL and PTO switch is OFF (disengaged).
Safety

ply with the following safety instructions.
5. Since diesel fuel is highly flammable, handle it care-
fully:
A. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose.
B. Do not remove machine fuel tank cap while en-
gine is hot or running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.

container caps.
F. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
but move the machine away from the area of spill-
age. Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel
vapors have dissipated. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
