Sound Pressure; Sound Power; Vibration - Toro 04357 Operator's Manual

• Stay clear of the rotating screen at the side of the
engine to prevent direct contact with your body or
clothing.
• If a cutting unit strikes a solid object or vibrates
abnormally, stop immediately, turn the engine off,
wait for all motion to stop, and inspect the machine
for damage. A damaged reel or bedknife must be
repaired or replaced before operation is continued.
• Before getting off of the seat, move the functional
control lever to neutral (N), raise the cutting units
and wait for the reels to stop spinning. Set the
parking brake. Stop the engine and remove the key
from the ignition switch.
• Traverse slopes carefully. Do not start or stop
suddenly when traveling uphill or downhill.
• The operator must be skilled and trained in how to
drive on hillsides. Failure to use caution on slopes or
hills may cause loss of control and cause the machine
to tip or roll, possibly resulting in personal injury
or death.
• If the engine stalls or loses headway and cannot make
it to the top of a slope, do not turn the machine
around. Always back slowly, straight down the slope.
• When a person or pet appears unexpectedly in or
near the mowing area, stop mowing. Careless
operation, combined with terrain angles, ricochets,
or improperly positioned guards can lead to thrown
object injuries. Do not resume mowing until the
area is cleared.
• Whenever the machine is left unattended, make
sure the cutting units are fully raised, the reels are
not spinning, the key is removed from the ignition
switch, and the parking brake is set.
Maintenance and Storage
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high
pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your hands,
to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the
skin and cause serious injury.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on
the hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must
be relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the
cutting units and attachments to the ground.
• Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a
regular basis. Tighten or repair them as needed.
• If the engine must be running to perform a
maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing,
and any parts of the body away from the cutting
units, attachments, and any moving parts, especially
the screen at the side of the engine. Keep everyone
away.
• Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor
settings. To ensure safety and accuracy, have an
Authorized Toro Distributor check the maximum
engine speed with a tachometer..
• The engine must be shut off before checking the oil
or adding oil to the crankcase.
• If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is
desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
• To assure optimum performance and continued
safety certification of the machine, use only
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.
