Using the Rollover Protection System
(ROPS)
Keep the roll bar in the raised and locked position and
use the seat belt when operating the machine.
Be certain that the seat belt can be released quickly in
the event of an emergency.
Be aware there is no rollover protection when the roll
bar is down.
Check the area to be mowed and never fold the ROPS
in areas where there are slopes, drop offs or water.
Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary. Do
not wear the seat belt with the roll bar folded down.
Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e. branches,
doorways, electrical wires) before driving under any
objects and do not contact them.
Maintenance and storage
Disengage drives, lower implement, set parking brake,
stop engine and remove key or disconnect spark plug
wire. Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting,
cleaning or repairing.
Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,
mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires. Clean up oil
or fuel spillage.
Let engine cool before storing and do not store near
flame.
Shut off fuel while storing or transporting. Do not store
fuel near flames or drain indoors.
Park machine on level ground. Never allow untrained
personnel to service machine.
Use jack stands to support components when required.
Carefully release pressure from components with stored
energy.
Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire before
making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal
first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and
negative last.
Use care when checking blades. Wrap the blade(s) or
wear gloves, and use caution when servicing them.
Only replace blades. Never straighten or weld them.
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If
possible, do not make adjustments with the engine
running.
Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away
from spark and flames. Unplug charger before
connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear
protective clothing and use insulated tools.
Keep all parts in good working condition and all
hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged
decals.
Use only Toro-approved attachments. Warranty may be
voided if used with unapproved attachments.
