Toro Riding Mower Safety
The following list contains safety information specific to Toro
products or other safety information that you must know that
is not included in the CEN standard.
•
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is an
odorless, deadly poison that can kill you. Do not run
engine indoors or in an enclosed area.
•
Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from
attachment discharge area, underside of mower and any
moving parts while engine is running.
•
Do not touch equipment or attachment parts which may
be hot from operation. Allow to cool before attempting
to maintain, adjust, or service.
•
Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Protect your face,
eyes, and clothing when working with a battery.
•
Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks and
flames away from battery.
•
Use only genuine Toro replacement parts to ensure that
original standards are maintained.
•
Use only Toro-approved attachments. Warranty may be
voided if used with unapproved attachments.
Slope Operation
•
Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
•
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks or
water. Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers,
which may result in serious injury, death or drowning.
•
Do not mow slopes when grass is wet. Slippery
conditions reduce traction and could cause sliding and
loss of control.
•
Do not make sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
•
Use a walk behind mower and/or a hand trimmer near
drop-offs, ditches, steep banks or water.
•
Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
•
Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
from the mowing area. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•
Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that change
the operating angle, as rough terrain could overturn the
machine.
•
Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill because the
mower may tip backwards.
•
Be aware that loss of traction may occur going downhill.
Weight transfer to the front wheels may cause drive
wheels to slip and cause loss of braking and steering.
•
Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope.
If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed
slowly off the slope.
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
•
Use extreme care with grass catchers or other attachments.
These can change the stability of the machine and cause
loss of control.
