Safety Instructions

Reelmaster machines meet or exceed safety standard
specifications when weights are installed according to
information in the Traction Unit Operator's Manual. Al-
though hazard control and accident prevention are par-
tially dependent upon the design and configuration of
the machine, these factors are also dependent upon the
awareness, concern and proper training of the person-
nel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of the machine. Improper use or mainte-
nance of the machine can result in injury or death. To re-
duce the potential for injury or death, comply with the
following safety instructions.

Before Operating

1. Review and understand the contents of the Opera-
tor's Manuals and Operator Training DVD before start-
ing and operating the machine. Become familiar with the
controls and know how to stop the machine and engine
quickly. Additional copies of the Operator's Manual are
available on the internet at www.Toro.com.
2. Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place.
If a shield, safety device or decal is defective, illegible
or damaged, repair or replace it before operating the
machine. Also tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws to
ensure machine is in safe operating condition.
3. Assure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so
engine cannot be started unless traction pedal is in
NEUTRAL and Enable/Disable switch is OFF (dis-
abled).
Safety
To reduce the potential for injury or death, com-
ply with the following safety instructions.
4. Since fuel is flammable, handle it carefully:
A. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose.
B. Do not remove machine fuel tank cap while en-
gine is hot or running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.

the top of the tank, not the filler neck. Do not overfill.
E. Replace fuel tank and fuel container caps secure-
ly after refueling machine.
F. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
but move the machine away from the area of spill-
age. Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel
vapors have dissipated. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
