General Safety Instructions

The Groundsmaster 4100-D and 4110--D have been
tested and certified by TORO for compliance with exist-
ing safety standards and specifications. Although haz-
ard control and accident prevention partially are
dependent upon the design and configuration of the ma-
chine, these factors are also dependent upon the
awareness, concern and proper training of the person-
nel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of the machine. Improper use or mainte-
nance of the machine can result in injury or death. To re-
duce the potential for injury or death, comply with the
following safety instructions.

If a shield, safety device or decal is defective, illegible or
damaged, repair or replace it before operating the ma-
chine.
