Operating The Parking Brake - Toro 74266CP Operator's Manual

Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can
cause sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over edges can cause
rollovers, which may result in serious injury,
death or drowning.
There is no rollover protection when the roll
bar is down.
Always keep the roll bar in the raised and
locked position and use the seat belt.
Read and follow the rollover protection
instructions and warnings.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of
rollover:
• Do not operate near drop-offs or near
water.
• Do not operate on slopes greater than
15 degrees.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution
on slopes.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed
changes.
