Safety; Safety And Instructional Decals - Toro 23165 Operator's Manual

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.
WARNING
Power, gas, and/or telephone lines may be buried
in the work area. A shock or explosion may occur if
you dig into them.
Mark the property or work area for buried lines
and do not dig in marked areas. Contact your local
marking service or utility company to mark the
property (for example, in the United States, call 811
for the nationwide marking service).
WARNING
There may be overhead power lines in the work
area. A shock may occur if you touch a power line
with a tree or other object that you are transporting.
Survey and mark the area where there are overhead
power lines and do not transport trees or tall objects
under power lines.
WARNING
When the engine is off, attachments in the raised
position can gradually lower. Someone nearby may
be pinned or injured by the attachment as it lowers.
Always lower the attachment lift each time you shut
off the traction unit.
WARNING
When going up or down hill, the machine could
overturn if the heavy end is toward the downhill
side. Someone may be pinned or seriously injured
by the machine if it overturns.
Operate up and down slopes with the heavy end of
the machine uphill. An empty attachment makes
the rear end heavy and a loaded attachment makes
the front end heavy.
WARNING
Standing on or riding on the attachment can be
dangerous. The rider may fall or be injured by the
moving vehicle.
Do not allow anyone to stand on the attachment or
ride it in any way.
WARNING
If you step off the platform with the attachment
raised, the machine could tip forward. Someone
nearby may be pinned or injured.
Lower the attachment before stepping off the
platform.
WARNING
If the attachment is not kept level while lifting, the
load could be inadvertently dumped on you and
injure you.
When lifting the attachment, tilt it forward to keep
it level and prevent it from spilling backward.

Decals

visible to the operator and are located near
