The following list contains safety information specific to Toro
products or other safety information that you must know that
may not be included in the ANSI standards.
•
Use only Toro approved attachments. Warranty may be
voided if used with unapproved attachments.
•
If loading the machine onto a trailer or truck, use a single,
full-width ramp only. The ramp angle should not exceed
15 degrees.
Towing Safety
•
Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point.
•
Follow the attachment manufacturer's recommendation
for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on
slopes. Towed weight must not exceed the weight of the
machine, operator, and ballast. Use counterweights or
wheel weights as described in the attachment, or in the
pulling machine Operator's Manual.
•
Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
•
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause
loss of traction, increased risk of rollover, and loss of
control. Reduce the towed weight and slow down.
•
Stopping distance increases with the weight of the towed
load. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
•
Make wide turns to keep the attachment clear of the
machine.
