Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner
of the machine can result in injury. Reduce the potential
for any injury by complying with the following safety
instructions.
Read and understand the contents of the traction
unit and cutting unit operator's manuals before
operating the machine. To get replacement manuals,
send complete model and serial number to:
The Toro Company
8111 Lyndale Avenue outh
Minneapolis, MN 55420-1196
Never allow children to operate the machine or
adults to operate it without proper instruction.
Become familiar with the controls and know how to
stop the machine and engine quickly.
Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in
place. If a shield, safety device or decal is damaged,
repair or replace it before operating the machine.
Always wear substantial shoes. Do not operate
machine while wearing sandals, tennis shoes,
sneakers or when barefoot. Do not wear loose fitting
clothing that could get caught in moving parts and
possibly cause personal injury.
Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, long pants
and a helmet is advisable and required by some local
ordinances and insurance regulations.
Make sure the work area is clear of objects which
might be picked up and thrown by the reels.
Do not carry passengers on the machine. Keep
everyone, especially children and pets, away from the
areas of operation.
ince diesel fuel is highly flammable, handle it
carefully:
A. Use an approved fuel container.
B. Do not remove fuel tank cap while engine is hot
or running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
D. Fill fuel tank outdoors and only to within an inch
(25 mm) from the top of the tank, not the filler neck.
Do not overfill.
E. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
Do not run engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust is hazardous and could
be deadly.
it on the seat when starting and operating the
machine.
Check interlock switches daily for proper
operation. If a switch fails, replace it before operating
the machine. The interlock system is for your
protection, so do not bypass it. Replace all interlock
switches every two years.
This product may exceed noise levels of 85 dB(A)
at the operator position. Ear protectors are
recommended for prolonged exposure to reduce the
potential of permanent hearing damage.
Before starting the engine each day, check
indicator lights, warning buzzer and signal lights to
assure proper operation.
Pay attention when using the machine. To prevent
loss of control:
A. Mow only in daylight or when there is good
artificial light.
B. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
C. Be extremely careful when operating close to
sand traps, ditches, creeks, steep hillsides or other
hazards.
D. Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid
sudden stops and starts. Use ground speed limiter
lever to set pedal travel so excessive ground speed
will be avoided during mowing and transport.
E. Look to the rear to assure no one is behind the
machine before backing up.
F. Watch for traffic when near or crossing roads.
Always yield the right-of-way.
G. Reduce speed when driving downhill.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away from moving
parts and the reel.
Traverse slopes carefully. Do not start or stop
suddenly when traveling uphill or downhill.
Operator must be skilled and trained in how to
drive on hillsides. Failure to use caution on slopes or
hills may cause loss of control and vehicle to tip or roll
possibly resulting in personal injury or death.
When operating 4 wheel drive machine, always
use the seat belt and ROP together and have seat
pivot retaining pin installed.
If engine stalls or loses traction and cannot make it
to the top of a slope, do not turn machine around.
Always back slowly straight down the slope.
Raise cutting units and latch them securely in
transport position before driving from one work area to
another.
Do not touch engine, muffler or exhaust pipe while
engine is running or soon after it is stopped. These
areas could be hot enough to cause burns.
If cutting unit strikes a solid object or vibrates
abnormally, stop immediately, turn engine off, set
parking brake and wait for all motion to stop. Inspect
for damage. If reel or bedknife is damaged, repair or
replace it before operating. Do not attempt to free
blocked cutting unit by moving Mow/Backlap lever
rapidly between F RWARD and BACKLAP. Damage to
hydraulic system may result. Lever should easily return
and hold in the ST P position.
Before getting off the seat:
A. Disengage cutting units and wait for reels to
stop.
B. Move traction pedal to neutral.
C. Set parking brake.
D. Stop engine and remove key from switch.
E. Do not park on slopes unless wheels are
chocked or blocked.
The optional T R tow bar (Part No. 58-7020) is
for emergency towing only. Use only the special tow
bar if it becomes necessary to tow machine. Use trailer
for normal transport. Refer to page 18 for towing
procedure.
Before servicing or making adjustments, stop
engine and remove key from the switch.
Assure entire machine is properly maintained and
in good operating condition. Make sure all nuts, bolts
and screws are tight.
Frequently check all hydraulic line connectors and
fittings. Assure all hydraulic hoses and lines are in
good condition before applying pressure to the
system.
Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. Use
cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic
fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and
cause injury. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor or gangrene may occur.
Before any hydraulic system maintenance, stop
engine and lower cutting units to the ground so all
pressure is relieved.
For major repairs or other assistance, contact your
local Toro Distributor.
To reduce potential fire hazard, keep engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and dirt. Clean
protective screen on back of engine frequently.
If engine must be running to perform maintenance
or an adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and other
parts of the body away from cutting units and other
moving parts. Keep everyone away.
Do not overspeed the engine by changing
governor setting. Maximum engine speed is 2500 rpm
+ or - 100 rpm. To assure safety and accuracy, have
an Authorized Toro Distributor check maximum engine
speed.
Shut engine off before checking or adding oil to the
crankcase.
Disconnect battery before servicing the machine.
If battery voltage is required for troubleshooting or test
procedures, temporarily connect the battery.
Toro recommends that two people be used to
backlap reels. Each person has specific duties and you
must communicate with one another.
For optimum performance and safety, use genuine
Toro replacement parts and accessories.
Replacement parts and accessories made by other
manufacturers could be dangerous and may void the
product warranty of The Toro Company.
