Safety Instructions
The GREENSMASTER 1000 was tested and certified
by TORO for compliance with the B71.4–1984 specifica-
tions of the American National Standards Institute. Al-
though hazard control and accident prevention partially
are dependent upon the design and configuration of the
machine, these factors are also dependent upon the
awareness, concern, and proper training of the person-
nel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance,

nance of the machine can result in injury or death.

chine while wearing sandals, tennis shoes or sneakers.
