Pre–starting Checks
Safe operation begins before taking the vehicle out for a
day's work. You should check these items each time:
• Check tire pressure.
Note: These tires are different than car tires, they require
less pressure to minimize turf compaction and damage.
• Check all fluid levels and add the appropriate amount of
Toro specified fluids, if any are found to be low.
• Check brake pedal operation.

• Check to see that the lights and horn are working.
• Turn steering wheel to the left and right to check
steering response.
• Check for oil leaks, loose parts and any other noticeable
malfunctions. Make sure engine is off and all moving
parts have stopped before checking for oil leaks, loose
parts and other malfunctions.
If any of the above items are not correct, notify your
mechanic or check with your supervisor before taking the
vehicle out for the day. Your supervisor may want you to
check other items on a daily basis, so ask what your
responsibilities are.
