The following list contains safety information specific to Toro
products and other safety information you must know.
General Operation

any objects, and do not contact them.

Sprayer and Spreader Operation
WARNING
Spray wand traps liquids under high pressure, even
when engine is off. High pressure spray discharge
could cause serious injury or death.
• Keep clear of nozzle and do not direct spray
or stream at people, pets, or non-work area
property.
• Do not direct spray on or near electrical power
components or source.
• Do not attach hoses or other components to the
end of the spray wand nozzle.
• Do not attempt to disconnect the spray wand
from the unit while the system is pressurized.
• Do not use spray wand if trigger lock is damaged
or missing.
• Do not keep spray wand in locked-open position
when job is complete.
•
Do not touch the impeller for the spreader while the
inpeller is rotating.
•
Stop spreading/spraying when making tight turns to
minimize uneven distribution pattern, application rate,
and chemical drift.
•
Chemicals may drift and cause injury to people and
animals; it may also damage plants, soil, or other property.
•
Liquid loads and granular materials can shift. This shifting
happens most often while turning, going up or down hills,
suddenly changing speeds, or while driving over rough
surfaces. Shifting loads can cause the unit to tip over.
•
Safely relieve pressure from spray wand every time engine
is turned off.
•
When draining or relieving system, do not let anyone
stand in front of nozzles and do not drain on a person's
feet.
•
Do not repair spray wand, hoses, seals, nozzle, or other
wand components; replace them.
Slope Operation
Use extreme caution when spreading or spraying chemicals
and/or turning on slopes as loss of traction and/or tip-over
could occur. The operator is responsible for safe operation
on slopes.
•
Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
from the area on which you are spreading or spraying
chemicals.
•
Watch for holes, ruts or bumps.
Note: Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•
Use caution near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
