Safety Instructions

The Reelmaster 2000--D has been tested and certified
by TORO for compliance with existing safety standards
and specifications as specified in the Traction Unit Op-
erator's Manual. Although hazard control and accident
prevention partially are dependent upon the design and
configuration of the machine, these factors are also de-
pendent upon the awareness, concern, and proper
training of the personnel involved in the operation, trans-
port, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Improp-
er use or maintenance of the machine can result in injury

Before Operating

1. Read and understand the contents of the Operator's
Manual before starting and operating the machine. Be-
come familiar with the controls and know how to stop the
machine and engine quickly. Additional copies of the
Operator's Manual are available on the internet at
www.Toro.com.
2. Keep all shields, safety devices, and decals in place.
If a shield, safety device, or decal is defective, illegible
or damaged, repair or replace it before operating the
machine. Also tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws to
ensure machine is in safe operating condition.
3. Assure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so
engine cannot be started unless traction pedal is in
NEUTRAL and cutting units are DISENGAGED.

While Operating

1. Sit on the seat when starting and operating the ma-
chine.
2. Before starting the engine:
A. Engage the parking brake.
B. Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and the
PTO switch is OFF (disengaged).
C. After engine is started, release parking brake and
keep foot off traction pedal. Machine must not move.
If movement is evident, the traction pedal linkage is
adjusted incorrectly; therefore, shut engine off and
adjust traction pedal linkage until machine does not
move when traction pedal is released.
3. Do not run engine in a confined area without ade-
quate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
4. Do not touch engine, muffler or exhaust pipe while
engine is running or soon after it is stopped. These
areas could be hot enough to cause burns.

4. Since diesel fuel is highly flammable, handle it care-
fully:
A. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose.
B. Do not remove machine fuel tank cap while en-
gine is hot or running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
D. Fill fuel tank outdoors and only to within an inch of
the top of the tank, not the filler neck. Do not overfill.
E. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
5. Before getting off the seat:
A. Ensure that traction pedal is in neutral.
B. Set parking brake.
C. Disengage cutting units and wait for blades to
stop.
D. Stop engine and remove key from ignition switch.
E. Anytime the machine is parked (short or long
term), the cutting units should be lowered to the
ground. This relieves pressure from the lift circuit
and eliminates the risk of cutting units accidentally
lowering to the ground.
F. Do not park on slopes unless wheels are chocked
or blocked.
