Read this manual carefully to learn how to operate and
maintain your product correctly. Reading this manual will
help you and others avoid personal injury and damage to
the product. Although Toro designs, produces and markets
safe, state-of-the-art products, you are responsible for
using the product properly and safely. You are also
responsible for training persons who you allow to use the
product about safe operation.
The Toro warning system in this manual identifies
potential hazards and has special safety messages that help
you and others avoid personal injury, even death.
DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are signal words
used to identify the level of hazard. However, regardless
of the hazard, be extremely careful.
DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause
serious injury or death if the recommended precautions
are not followed.
WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious injury
or death if the recommended precautions are not followed.
CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or
moderate injury if the recommended precautions are not
followed.
Two other words are also used to highlight information.
“Important” calls attention to special mechanical
information and “Note” emphasizes general information
worthy of special attention.
The left and right side of the machine is determined by
standing behind the handle in the normal operator’s
position.
