• Use extreme caution when operating close to sand traps,

ditches, creeks, steep hillsides or other hazards. Reduce

speed when making sharp turns. Do not turn on hills.

Avoid sudden stops and starts. Use reverse pedal for

braking. Cutting units must be lowered when going

down slopes for steering control.

• Know how to stop the engine quickly.

• Do not operate the machine while wearing tennis shoes

or sneakers.

• Wearing safety shoes and long pants is advisable and

required by some local ordinances and insurance

regulations.

• Handle fuel carefully. Wipe up any spills.

• Check the safety interlock switches daily for proper

operation. If a switch should fail, replace the switch

before operating the machine.

• Before starting the engine, sit on the seat.

• Using the machine demands attention. To prevent loss

of control:

– Do not drive close to sand traps, ditches, creeks, or

other hazards.

– Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid

sudden stops and starts.

– 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.

– Apply the service brakes when going downhill to

keep forward speed slow and to maintain control of

the machine.

• The grass baskets must be in place during operation of

the cylinders/reels or thatchers for maximum safety.

Shut the engine off before emptying the baskets.

• Raise the cutting units when driving from one work

area to another.

• Do not touch the engine, silencer/muffler, or exhaust

pipe while the engine is running or soon after it has

stopped because these areas could be hot enough to

cause burns.

• If the engine stalls or loses headway and cannot make it

to the top of a slope, do not turn the machine around.

Always back slowly, straight down the slope.

• When a person or pet appears unexpectedly in or near

the mowing area, stop mowing. Careless operation,

combined with terrain angles, ricochets, or improperly

positioned guards can lead to thrown object injuries. Do

not resume mowing until the area is cleared.

Maintenance and Storage

• 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

hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be

relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the cutting

units and attachments to the ground.

• Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a regular

basis. Tighten or repair them as needed.

• If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance

adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and any parts of

the body away from the cutting units, attachments, and

any moving parts, especially the screen at the side of the

engine. Keep everyone away.

• To ensure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro

Distributor check the maximum engine speed with a

tachometer. Maximum governed engine speed should be

2650 RPM.

• If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is

desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.

• Use only Toro-approved attachments and replacement

parts. The warranty may be voided if used with

unapproved attachments.
