Safety Instructions

The Multi Pro 1200 and Multi Pro 1250 Turf Sprayers are
designed and tested to offer safe service when operated
and maintained properly. Although hazard control and
accident prevention are partially dependent upon the
design and configuration of the machine, these factors
are also dependent upon the awareness, concern and
proper training of the personnel involved in the opera-
tion, transport, maintenance and storage of the ma-
chine. Improper use or maintenance of the machine can
result in injury or death. To reduce the potential for injury
or death, comply with the following safety instructions.
Before Operating
1. Read and understand the contents of the Operator's
Manual before starting and operating the machine. Be-
come 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 range selector is in
NEUTRAL.
