Safety Instructions
YourGroundsmaster meets orexceeds safetystandard
specifications when weights are installed according to
information in the Operator’s Manual. Although hazard
control and accident prevention are partially dependent
uponthedesignandconfigurationofthemachine,these
factors are also dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern and proper training of the personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the
machine. Improper use or maintenance of the machine
can result in injury or death. To reduce the potential for
injury or death, comply with the following safety instruc-
tions.
To reduce thepotential for injuryor death,com-
ply with the following safety instructions.
WARNING
Before Operating
1. Review and understand the contents of the Opera-
tor’s Manual andOperator Training DVD before starting
and operating the machine. Become familiar with the
controls and know how to stop the machine and engine
quickly. A replacement Operator’s Manual is available
on the Internet at www.Toro.com.
2. Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place.
If a shield, safety device or decal is defective, illegible
or damaged, repair or replace it before operating the
machine.
3. Tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws to ensure
machine is in safe operating condition.
4. Assure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so
engine cannot be started unless traction pedal is in
NEUTRAL and PTO switch is OFF (disengaged).
5. Since diesel fuel is highly flammable, handle it care-
fully:
A. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose.
B. Do not remove machine fuel tank cap while en-
gine is hot or running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
D. Fillfueltankoutdoorsandonlytowithinaninchof
the top of the tank, not the filler neck. Do not overfill.
E. After refueling machine, install fuel tank and fuel
container caps.
F. If fuel is spilled, do notattempt tostart theengine
but move the machine away from the area of spill-
age. Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel
vapors have dissipated. Wipe up any spilled fuel.

Groundmaster 4300--D Page 1 -- 3 Safety
While Operating
1. Sit on the seat when starting and operating the ma-
chine.
2. Before starting the engine:
A. Apply the parking brake.
B. Make sure the traction pedal is in NEUTRAL and
the PTO switch is OFF (disengaged).
C. Afterengineisstarted, releaseparking brakeand
keepfoot off tractionpedal. Machinemust notmove.
If movement is evident, the traction pedal linkage is
adjusted incorrectly; therefore, shut engine off and
adjust traction pedal linkage until machine does not
move when traction pedal is released (see Opera-
tor’s Manual).
3. Do not run engine in a confined area without ade-
quate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
4. Do not touch engine, radiator or exhaust system
whileengineisrunningorsoonafteritisstopped.These
areas could be hot enough to cause burns.
5. Before getting off the seat:
A. Ensure that traction pedal is in NEUTRAL.
B. Lower and disengage cutting decks and wait for
all movement to stop.
C. Apply parking brake.
D. Stop engineand removekeyfromignitionswitch.
6. Anytime the machine is parked (short or long term),
the cutting decks should be lowered to the ground. This
relieves pressure from thehydraulic lift circuit and elimi-
nates the risk of the cutting decks unexpectedly lower-
ing to the ground.
7. Do not park on slopes unless wheels are chocked or
blocked.

Maintenance and Service
1. Before servicing or making adjustments, lower cut-
ting decks, stop engine, apply parking brake and re-
move key from the ignition switch.
2. Make sure machine is in safe operating condition by
keeping all nuts, bolts and screws tight.
3. Never store the machine or fuel container inside
wherethereisanopenflame,suchasnearawaterheat-
er or furnace.
4. Makesureallhydraulic lineconnectorsaretight,and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition be-
fore applying pressure to the hydraulic system.
5. Keepbodyandhandsawayfrompinholeleaksinhy-
draulic lines 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 afew hours by a doc-
tor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may re-
sult.
6. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulicsystem, allpressureinthe systemmust bere-
lieved by using all of the hydraulic controls (see Reliev-
ing Hydraulic Pressure in the General Information
section of Chapter 4 -- Hydraulic System).
7. Use care when checking or servicing the cutting
decks. Wear gloves and use caution when servicing
them.
8. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and dirt. Clean
protective screen on machine frequently.
9. If enginemust berunningtoperformmaintenanceor
to make an adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and
other parts of the body away from the cutting decks and
other moving parts. Keep bystanders away.
10.Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor
setting.Toassuresafetyandaccuracy,checkmaximum
engine speed with a tachometer.
11.Shut engine off before checking or adding oil to the
crankcase.
12.Disconnect battery before servicing the machine.
Disconnect negative battery cable first and positive
cablelast. If batteryvoltageis requiredfortroubleshoot-
ing or test procedures, temporarily connect the battery.
Reconnect positive battery cable first and negative
cable last.
13.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.
14.Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks
and flames away from the battery.
15.When changing attachments, tires or performing
other service, use correct supports, hoists and jacks.
Make suremachine is parked on a solidlevel floorsuch
asa concretefloor. Priortoraisingthe machine,remove
any attachments that may interfere with the safe and
proper raising of the machine. Always chock or block
wheels. Use jack stands or appropriateload holding de-
vices to support the raised machine. If the machine is
not properly supported, the machine may move or fall,
whichmayresult inpersonalinjury(seeJackingInstruc-
tions in this section).
16.If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is de-
sired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
17.When welding on machine, disconnect all battery
cables to prevent damage to machine electronic equip-
ment. Disconnect negative battery cable first and posi-
tive cable last. Also, disconnect the wire harness
connector from the machine controller and disconnect
the terminal connector from the alternator. Attach weld-
er ground cable no more than two (2) feet (0.61 meters)
from the welding location.
18.At the time of manufacture, your Groundsmaster
conformedtothe safetystandardsfor riding mowers.To
assureoptimum performanceand continuedsafetycer-
tification of the machine, use genuine Toro replacement
parts and accessories. Replacement parts and acces-
sories made by other manufacturers may result in non-
conformance with the safety standards, and the
warranty may be voided.

Torque Specifications
Recommended fastener torque values are listed in the
followingtables.For criticalapplications,asdetermined
byToro,eithertherecommendedtorqueoratorquethat
is unique to the application is clearly identified and spe-
cified in this Service Manual.
These Torque Specifications for the installation and
tightening of fasteners shall apply toall fasteners which
donothave a specificrequirement identified in thisSer-
vice Manual. The following factors shall be considered
when applying torque: cleanliness of the fastener, use
of a thread sealant (e.g. Loctite), degree of lubrication
on the fastener, presence of a prevailing torquefeature
(e.g. Nylock nut), hardness of the surface underneath
thefastener’sheadorsimilarconditionwhichaffectsthe
installation.
Asnotedinthefollowingtables,torquevaluesshouldbe
reduced by 25% for lubricated fasteners to achieve
the similar stress as a dry fastener. Torque values may
also have to be reduced when the fastener is threaded
into aluminum or brass. The specific torque value
should be determined based on the aluminum or brass
material strength, fastener size, length of thread en-
gagement, etc.
The standard method of verifying torque shall be per-
formed by marking a line on the fastener (head or nut)
and mating part, then back off fastener 1/4 of a turn.

the lines match up.

Using a Torque Wrench with an Offset Wrench
Useofanoffsetwrench(e.g.crowfootwrench)willaffect
torquewrenchcalibration due to the effectivechangeof
torquewrenchlength.Whenusingatorquewrenchwith
an offset wrench, multiply the listed torque recommen-
dation by the calculated torque conversion factor (Fig.
3) to determine proper tightening torque. Tightening
torque when using a torque wrench with an offset
wrench will be lower than the listed torque recommen-
dation.
Example: The measured effective length of the torque
wrench (distance from the center of the handle to the
center of the square drive) is 18”.
Themeasuredeffectivelengthofthetorquewrenchwith
the offset wrench installed (distance from the center of
the handle to the center of the offset wrench) is 19”.
The calculated torque conversion factor for this torque
wrenchwiththisoffsetwrenchwouldbe 18/19=0.947.
If the listed torque recommendation for a fastener is
from 76 to 94 ft--lb, the proper torque when using this
torque wrench with an offset wrench would be from 72
to 89 ft--lb.
