Safety
Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner
can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury,
comply with these safety instructions and those in the
traction unit Operator's Manual . Always pay attention to
the safety alert symbol, which means Caution , Warning ,
or Danger —personal safety instruction. Failure to
comply with the instruction may result in personal injury
or death.
To ensure optimum performance and continued safety
certification of the machine, use only genuine Toro
replacement parts and accessories. Replacement parts and
accessories made by other manufacturers could be dangerous,
and such could void the product warranty.
DANGER
Contact with rotating tines may cause injury,
cutting hands, feet, or other body parts.
• Keep away from the rotating tines while
operating the tiller.
• Keep your hands, feet, and any other part of your
body or clothing away from rotating parts.
• Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing and
inspecting the tiller, lower the tiller and loader
arms to the ground, turn the key to the O
position, and remove the key from the ignition
switch.
WARNING
There may be buried power, gas, and/or, telephone
lines in the area needing tilling and shock or
explosion may occur.
Have the property or area to be tilled marked for
buried lines.
WARNING
Tines can throw dirt, debris, and small rocks
resulting in injury.
• Run the tiller so that debris is thrown away from
the traction unit.
• Keep all bystanders away from the work area.
WARNING
When the engine is off, attachments in the raised
position can gradually lower and this may result in
someone nearby getting pinned or injured.
Always lower the attachment lift each time you shut
off the traction unit.
WARNING
If you do not fully seat the attachment locking pins
in the attachment mount plate holes, the attachment
could fall off of the traction unit, causing severe
injury.
• Ensure that you fully seat the attachment
locking pins through the holes in the attachment
mount plate before lifting the attachment.
• Ensure that the attachment mount plate is free of
any dirt or debris that may hinder the connection
of the traction unit to the attachment.
• Refer to your traction unit Operator's Manual
for detailed information on safely connecting an
attachment to your traction unit.
CAUTION
Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves, and
hydraulic fluid may be hot and can burn you if you
touch them.
• Wear gloves when operating the hydraulic
couplers.
• Allow the traction unit to cool before touching
FF
hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
Stability Ratings
To determine the degree of slope you can traverse with the
attachment installed on a traction unit, find the stability rating
for the hill position you want to travel in the appropriate table
below, then find the degree of slope for the same rating and
hill position in the Stability Data section of the traction unit
Operator's Manual.
WARNING
Exceeding the maximum recommended slope
can cause the traction unit to tip, crushing you or
bystanders.
Do not drive the traction unit on a slope steeper
than the maximum recommended slope, as
determined in the following tables and the traction
unit Operator's Manual .
Important: If your traction unit has wheels, do not
use the counterweight on the platform while using the
attachment, or the traction unit will become less stable
in the front and side uphill positions.
