back to the neutral position unless you intend to stop
quickly.
The machine should come to a complete stop in
approximately 3.7 m (12 ft) from the maximum
transport speed of 10 mph.
1. On flat, dry pavement, mark out the start and
end of 3.7 m (12 ft).
2. Drive the machine at the maximum transport
speed of 16 km/h (10 mph) and remove your
foot at the start of the 3.7 m (12 ft).
3. Check if the machine stops within 0.6 m (2 ft) of
the end mark (3.7 m or 12 ft).
4. Contact your Toro distributor if the stopping
distance of the machine is not within 0.6 m (2
ft) of this distance.
Understanding Displayed
Traction Speeds
This machine displays estimated traction speeds in
kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph).
Note:
The displayed traction speeds are only
accurate when the engine speed is set to high idle.
•
The instantaneous speed is displayed in the upper
left-hand corner of the cruise control and virtual
pedal stop screens.
•
The traction speeds are estimated, and calibrated
to be most accurate at 8.0 km/h (5.0 mph) while
mowing. Displayed speeds are accurate when it
is 0.8 km/h (0.5 mph) above or below the display
speed while driving on dry, flat pavement.
•
Contact your authorized Toro distributor if the
machine's observed speeds deviate more than 2.4
km/h (1.5 mph) from the displayed speeds.

During Operation

During Operation Safety

General Safety
•
The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible
for accidents that may cause personal injury or
property damage.
•
Wear appropriate clothing, including eye
protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant
footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long
hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose
jewelry.
•
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur.
•
Before you start the engine, ensure that all drives
are in neutral, the parking brake is engaged, and
you are in the operating position.
•
Do not carry passengers on the machine and keep
bystanders and children out of the operating area.
•
Operate the machine only in good visibility to avoid
holes or hidden hazards.
•
Avoid mowing on wet grass. Reduced traction
could cause the machine to slide.
•
Keep your hands and feet away from the cutting
units.
•
Look behind and down before backing up to be
sure of a clear path.
•
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure your
vision.
•
Stop the cutting units whenever you are not
mowing.
•
Slow down and use caution when making turns
and crossing roads and sidewalks with the
machine. Always yield the right-of-way.
•
Operate the engine only in well-ventilated areas.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which
is lethal if inhaled.
•
Do not leave a running machine unattended.
•
Before you leave the operator's position, do the
following:
– Park the machine on a level surface.
– Disengage and lower the cutting units.
– Engage the parking brake.
– Shut off the engine and remove the key.
– Wait for all movement to stop.
– Allow the machine to cool before adjusting,
servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
•
Operate the machine only in good visibility and
appropriate weather conditions. Do not operate
the machine when there is the risk of lightning.
•
Use the cruise control (if equipped) only when you
can operate the machine in an open, flat area that
is free from obstacles and where the machine can
move at a constant speed without interruption.
Rollover Protection System
(ROPS) Safety
•
Do not remove any of the ROPS components from
the machine.
•
Ensure that the seat belt is attached and that you
can release it quickly in an emergency.
