Maintenance - Toro 41199 Operator's Manual

•
If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop immediately,
wait for all motion to stop, and inspect the sprayer for
damage. Repair all damage before resuming operation.
•
Before getting off of the seat:
1. Stop the movement of the machine.
2. Place the range selector in Neutral and set the
parking brake.
3. Turn the ignition key to Off.
4. Remove the ignition key.
Important: Do not park the machine on an
incline.
•
Lightning can cause severe injury or death. If lightning
is seen or thunder is heard in the area, do not operate
the machine; seek shelter.
Braking
•
Slow down before you approach an obstacle. This gives
you extra time to stop or turn away. Hitting an obstacle
can damage the sprayer and its contents. More important,
it can injure you.
•
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) has a major impact on your
ability to stop and/or turn. Heavy loads and attachments
make a sprayer harder to stop or turn. The heavier the
load, the longer it takes to stop.
•
Turf and pavement are much more slippery when they
are wet. It can take 2 to 4 times as long to stop on wet
surfaces as on dry surfaces. If you drive through standing
water deep enough to get the brakes wet, they will not
work well until they are dry. After driving through water,
you should test the brakes to make sure they work
properly. If they do not, drive slowly while putting light
pressure on the brake pedal. This will dry the brakes out.
Operating on Hills and Rough Terrain
Operating the sprayer on a hill may cause tipping or rolling
of the sprayer, or the engine may stall and you could lose
headway on the hill. This could result in personal injury.
•
Do not accelerate quickly or slam on the brakes when
backing down a hill, especially with a load.
•
Never drive across a steep hill; always drive straight up or
down or go around the hill.
•
If the engine stalls or you begin to lose headway while
climbing a hill, gradually apply the brakes and slowly back
straight down the hill.
•
Turning while traveling up or down hills can be
dangerous. If you have to turn while on a hill, do it slowly
and cautiously. Never make sharp or fast turns.
•
Heavy loads affect stability. Reduce the weight of the load
and your speed when operating on hills.
•
Avoid stopping on hills, especially with a load. Stopping
while going down a hill will take longer than stopping
on level ground. If the sprayer must be stopped, avoid
sudden speed changes, which may initiate tipping or
rolling of the sprayer. Do not slam on the brakes
when rolling backward, as this may cause the sprayer to
overturn.
•
Use the seat belt when operating the machine and be
certain that it can be released quickly in the event of an
emergency.
•
Do not remove or alter the rollover protection system
(ROPS).
•
Reduce speed and load when operating on rough terrain,
uneven ground, and near curbs, holes, and other sudden
changes in terrain. Loads may shift, causing the sprayer
to become unstable.
WARNING
Sudden changes in terrain may cause abrupt
steering wheel movement, possibly resulting in
hand and arm injuries.
•
Reduce your speed when operating on rough terrain and
near curbs.
•
Grip the steering wheel loosely around the perimeter.
Keep your hands clear of the steering wheel spokes.
Loading
The weight of the cargo can change the sprayer center of
gravity and sprayer handling. To avoid loss of control and
personal injury, follow these guidelines:
•
Reduce the weight of the load when operating on hills
and rough terrain to avoid tipping or overturning of the
sprayer.
•
Liquid loads 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 sprayer to tip over.
•
When operating with a heavy load, reduce your speed and
allow for sufficient braking distance. Do not suddenly
apply the brakes. Use extra caution on slopes.
•
Be aware that heavy loads increase your stopping distance
and reduce your ability to turn quickly without tipping
over.

Maintenance

•
Only permit qualified and authorized personnel to
maintain, repair, adjust, or inspect the sprayer.
•
Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine,
stop the engine, set the parking brake, and remove the key
from the ignition to prevent someone from accidentally
starting the engine.
•
To make sure that the entire machine is in good condition,
keep all nuts, bolts, and screws properly tightened.
