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 your 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.
