• Slow down and use caution when crossing roads
and sidewalks.
• Do not operate the aerator under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
• Use extreme care when loading or unloading the
aerator into a trailer or truck.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
• Always be aware of obstacles that may be in the
area of operation. Plan your aeration path to avoid
contact with any obstacle by you or the machine.
Slope Operation
• Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks
or water. Wheels or rollers dropping over edges can
cause roll overs, which may result in serious injury
or death.
• Do not operate on slopes when grass is wet. Slippery
conditions reduce traction and could cause sliding
and loss of control.
• Do not make sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
• Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs,
etc. from the operating area. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
• Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that
change the operating angle, as rough terrain could
overturn the aerator.
• Be aware that loss of traction may occur going
downhill. Weight transfer may cause drive wheel to
slip and cause loss of braking and steering.
• Be aware that loss of traction may occur going
downhill. Weight transfer may cause drive wheel to
slip and cause loss of braking and steering.
• Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope.
If tire loses traction, disengage the water injection
system and proceed slowly off the slope.
Maintenance and Storage
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
which is an odorless, deadly poison that can
kill you.
Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed
area.
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under
high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your
hands, to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping
under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate
the skin and cause serious injury. Seek immediate
medical attention if fluid is injected into skin.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on
the water system, all pressure in the system must
be relieved by stopping the engine and opening the
bleed valve. Opening the bleed valve allows any
trapped water to escape from the system and also
allows the accumulator piston to move to the bottom
of the accumulator cylinder.
• Let engine cool before storing and do not store near
flame.
• Shut off fuel while storing or transporting on trailers.
Do not store fuel near flames or drain indoors.
• Park machine on level, hard ground. Never allow
untrained personnel to service machine.
• Use jack stands or safety latches to support
components when required.
• Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
• Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire before
making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal
first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first
and negative last.
• Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If
possible, do not make adjustments with the engine
running.
• Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area,
away from spark and flames. Unplug charger before
connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear
protective clothing and use insulated tools.
• Keep all parts in good working condition and all
hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged
decals.
• Use only Toro-approved attachments. Warranty may
be voided if used with unapproved attachments.
