operating the machine
– Before leaving the operating position
•
Disengage the drive to the cutting unit when
transporting or not using the machine.
•
Watch out for traffic when crossing or near
roadways.

Stop the blades whenever you are not mowing.

Use accessories and attachments approved by
The Toro® Company only.
Slope Safety
•
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control
and rollover accidents, which can result in severe
injury or death. The operator is responsible for
safe slope operation. Operating the machine on
any slope requires extra caution.
•
Evaluate the site conditions to determine if the
slope is safe for machine operation including
surveying the site. Always use common sense
and good judgment when performing this survey.
•
Review the slope instructions, listed below, for
operating the machine on slopes and review the
conditions to determine whether you can operate
the machine in the conditions on that day and at
that site. Changes in the terrain can result in a
change in slope operation for the machine.
– Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine
on slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in
speed or direction. Make turns slowly and
gradually.
– Do not operate a machine under any conditions
where traction, steering, or stability is in
question.
– Remove or mark obstructions such as ditches,
holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
hazards. Tall grass can hide obstructions.
Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
– Be aware that operating the machine on wet
grass, across slopes, or downhill may cause
the machine to lose traction. Loss of traction
may result in sliding and a loss of braking and
steering.
– Use extreme caution when operating the
machine near dropoffs, ditches, embankments,
water hazards, or other hazards. The machine
could suddenly roll over if part of the traction
goes over the edge or the edge caves in.
Establish a safety area between the machine
and any hazard.
– Identify hazards at the base of the slope.
