Operation; Before You Start; Adding Fuel - Toro SGR-6 Operator's Manual

Operation

Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.

Before you Start

•
Dig away the earth and remove any stones near
the tree stump that may interfere with your work.
Check that the ground is free of foreign objects,
such as electrical cables, barbed wire, etc.
•
Cut or trim the stump using a power saw.
•
Review all the safety decals on the machine.
•
Ensure that you are familiar with safety regulations
and shutdown procedures described in this
manual.
•
Ensure that all guards are in place and in good
condition.
•
Ensure that the blades and cutters are in place
and in good condition.
•
Ensure that the work area, cutter, and stump in
particular are free from metallic objects such as
wire, nails, etc. that could be thrown out and injure
persons in the vicinity and damage the equipment.

Adding Fuel

DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tanks outdoors, in an open
area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any
fuel that spills.
• Never fill the fuel tanks inside an enclosed
trailer.
• Never smoke when handling fuel and stay
away from an open flame or where fuel
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never
buy more than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• Do not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released, causing a spark
that can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or
explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can damage property.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle
or on a truck or trailer bed, because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may
insulate the container and slow the loss of
any static charge.
• When practical, remove equipment from
the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment
with its wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container rather than from a
fuel-dispenser nozzle.
• If you must use a fuel-dispenser nozzle,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete.
