• Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
• Disconnect battery before making any repairs.
Disconnect the negative terminal first and the
positive last. Reconnect positive first and negative
last.
• Use care when checking the blades. Wear gloves
and use caution when servicing them. Only replace
blades. Never straighten or weld them.
• Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If
possible, do not make adjustments with the engine
running.
• Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area,
away from spark and flames. Unplug charger before
connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear
protective clothing and use insulated tools.
Toro Riding Mower Safety
The following list contains safety information specific
to Toro products or other safety information that you
must know that is not included in the CEN, ISO, or
ANSI standard.
This product is capable of amputating hands and
feet and throwing objects. Always follow all safety
instructions to avoid serious injury or death.
Use of this product for purposes other than its intended
use could prove dangerous to user and bystanders.
• Know how to stop the engine quickly.
• Do not operate the machine while wearing tennis
shoes or sneakers.
• Wearing safety shoes and long pants is advisable and
required by some local ordinances and insurance
regulations.
• Handle fuel carefully. Wipe up any spills.
• Check the safety interlock switches daily for proper
operation. If a switch should fail, replace the switch
before operating the machine.
• Before starting the engine, sit on the seat.
• Using the machine demands attention. To prevent
loss of control:
– Do not drive close to sand traps, ditches, creeks,
or other hazards.
– Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid
sudden stops and starts.
– This machine is not designed or equipped for
on-road use and is a "slow-moving vehicle."
If you must cross or travel on a public road,
you should be aware of and comply with local
regulations, such as required lights, slow moving
vehicle signs, and reflectors.
– When near or crossing roads, always yield the
right-of-way.
– Apply the service brakes when going downhill to
keep forward speed slow and to maintain control
of the machine.
• Raise the deck when driving from one work area to
another.
• Do not touch the engine, silencer/muffler, or
exhaust pipe while the engine is running or soon
after it has stopped because these areas could be hot
enough to cause burns.
• If the engine stalls or machine cannot make it to
the top of a slope, do not turn the machine around.
Always back slowly, straight down the slope.
• When a person or pet appears unexpectedly in
or near the mowing area, stop mowing. Careless
operation, combined with terrain angles, ricochets,
or improperly positioned guards can lead to thrown
object injuries. Do not resume mowing until the
area is cleared.
Maintenance and Storage
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under
high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your
hands, to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping
under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate
the skin and cause serious injury. Seek immediate
medical attention if fluid is injected into skin.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on
the hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must
be relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the
deck and attachments to the ground.
• Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a
regular basis. Tighten or repair them as needed.
• If the engine must be running to perform a
maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing,
and any parts of the body away from the deck,
attachments, and any moving parts, especially the
screen at the side of the engine. Keep everyone away.
• If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is
desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
• Use only Toro approved attachments and
replacement parts. The warranty may be voided if
used with unapproved attachments.
