Maintenance And Storage - Toro 74933 Operator's Manual

•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine into
or from a trailer or truck.
•
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees,
or other objects that may obscure vision.
Rollover-Protection System (ROPS)
•
The ROPS is an integral and effective safety device. Keep
a folding ROPS in the raised and locked position and use
the seat belt when operating the machine.
•
Lower a folding ROPS temporarily only when absolutely
necessary. Do not wear the seat belt when folded down.
•
Be aware there is no rollover protection when a folded
ROPS is in the down position.
•
Be certain that the seat belt can be released quickly in
the event of an emergency.
•
Check the area to be mowed and never fold down a
folding ROPS in areas where there are slopes, drop offs
or water.
•
Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e., branches,
doorways, electrical wires) before driving under any
objects and do not contact them.
•
Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by
periodically thoroughly inspecting for damage and
keeping all mounting fasteners tight.
•
Replace a damaged ROPS. Do not repair or revise.
•
Do not remove the ROPS.
•
Any alterations to a ROPS must be approved by the
manufacturer.

Disengage drives, set the parking brake, Shut off the
engine and remove the key or disconnect the spark-plug
wire. Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting,
cleaning or repairing the machine.

Clean grass and debris from the cutting unit, the drives,
the mufflers, and the engine to help prevent fires. Clean

servicing them. Only replace blades. Never straighten
or weld them.
