Safety And Instructional Decals - Toro 31201 Operator's Manual

•
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.
•
Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from
attachment discharge area, underside of mower and any
moving parts while engine is running.
•
Do not touch equipment or attachment parts which may
be hot from operation. Allow to cool before attempting
to maintain, adjust, or service.
•
Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Protect your face,
eyes, and clothing when working with a battery.
•
This machine is not designed or equipped for on-road
use and is a "slow-moving vehicle." If you must cross
or travel on a public road, you should be aware of and
comply with local regulations, such as required lights,
slow moving vehicle signs, and reflectors.
•
Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks and
flames away from battery.
•
Use only genuine Toro replacement parts to ensure that
original standards are maintained.
•
Use only Toro approved attachments. Warranty may be
voided if used with unapproved attachments.
Slope Operation
•
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks or
water. Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers,
which may result in serious injury, death, or drowning.

Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential
danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or lost.

•
Do not mow 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.
•
Use a walk behind mower and/or a hand trimmer near
drop-offs, ditches, steep banks or water.
•
Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
•
Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
from the mowing 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
machine.
•
Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill because the
machine may tip backwards.
•
Be aware that loss of traction may occur going downhill.
Weight transfer to the front wheels may cause drive
wheels to slip and cause loss of braking and steering.
•
Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope.
If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed
slowly off the slope.
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
•
Use extreme care with attachments. These can change the
stability of the machine and cause loss of control.
1. Thrown object hazard—keep bystanders a safe distance
from the machine.
2. Thrown object hazard—do not operate the mower with the
deflector up or removed, keep the deflector in place.
3. Cutting/dismemberment hazard of hand or foot, mower
