Operating The Parking Brake - Toro 30363N Operator's Manual

DANGER
Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers,
which may result in serious injury, death or
drowning.
There is no rollover protection when the roll bar
is down.
Always keep the roll bar in the raised and locked
position and use the seat belt.
Read and follow the rollover protection instructions
and warnings.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of rollover:
• Do not operate near drop-offs or near water.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
