an abnormal vibration in the machine. Make all
necessary repairs before resuming operation.
•
Slow down and use caution when making turns
and crossing roads and sidewalks with the
machine. Always yield the right-of-way.
•
Use extra caution when operating the machine on
wet surfaces, in adverse weather conditions, at
higher speeds, or with a full load. Stopping time
and distance increase in these conditions.
•
Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine
is running or soon after it has shut off. These
areas may be hot enough to cause burns.
•
Before you leave the operator's position, do the
following:
– Park the machine on a level surface.
– Move the traction pedal to the N
position.
– Shut off the spray pump.
– Engage the parking brake.
– Shut off the engine and remove the key (if
equipped).
– Wait for all movement to stop.
•
Never run an engine in an area where exhaust
gasses are enclosed.
•
Do not operate the machine when there is the risk
of lightning.
•
Use accessories and attachments approved by
Toro only.
Rollover Protection System
(ROPS) Safety
Note:
For each machine covered in this Operator's
Manual, a cab installed by Toro is a ROPS.
•
Do not remove the ROPS from the machine.
•
Fasten the seat belt and ensure that you can
release it quickly in an emergency. Always wear
your seat belt.
•
Check carefully for overhead obstructions and do
not contact them.
•
Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by
thoroughly inspecting it periodically for damage
and keeping all the mounting fasteners tight.
•
Maintain and clean the seat belt(s) as necessary.
•
Replace any damaged ROPS component. Do not
repair or alter it.
Slope Safety
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and
rollover accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. You are responsible for safe slope operation.
Operating the machine on any slope requires extra
caution.
•
Review the slope instructions listed below for
operating the machine on slopes and to determine
whether you can operate the machine in the
conditions on that day and at that job site.
Changes in the terrain can result in a change in
slope operation for the machine.
•
Determine if the slope is safe for machine
operation, including surveying the site. Always
use common sense and good judgment when
performing this survey.
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine
on slopes. Travel up and down on slopes. Avoid
making sudden changes in speed or direction.
If you must turn the machine, turn it slowly and
gradually downhill, if possible. Use care when
EUTRAL
reversing the machine.
•
Do not operate a machine when you are uncertain
about the traction, steering, or stability.
•
Remove or mark obstructions such as ditches,
holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards.
Tall grass can hide obstructions. Uneven terrain
could overturn the machine.
•
Be aware that operating the machine on wet
surfaces, across slopes, or downhill may cause
the machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the
wheels may result in sliding and a loss of braking
and steering.
•
Use extreme caution when operating the machine
near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, water
hazards, or other hazards. The machine could
suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge
or the edge caves in. Establish a safety area
between the machine and any hazard.
•
Use extra care while operating the machine with
attachments; they can affect the stability of the
machine.
•
If the engine stalls or you begin to lose momentum
while climbing a hill, gradually apply the brakes
and slowly back straight down the hill.
•
Always keep the transmission in gear (if applicable)
when you drive the machine down a slope.
•
Do not park the machine on an incline.
•
The weight of the material in the tank can change
the handling of the machine. To avoid loss of
control and personal injury, follow these guidelines:
– When operating with a heavy load, reduce your
– Liquid loads shift, especially while turning,

speed and allow for sufficient braking distance.
Do not suddenly apply the brakes. Use extra
caution on slopes.
going up or down slopes, suddenly changing
speeds, or while driving over rough surfaces.
