W=width of the machine
5.
Keep a safe distance (twice the width of the machine)
between the machine and any hazard.
•
Avoid starting, stopping or turning the machine on
slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or
direction; turn slowly and gradually.
•
Do not operate a machine under any conditions
where traction, steering or stability is in question.
Be aware that operating the machine on wet
grass, across slopes or downhill may cause the
machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the
drive wheels may result in sliding and a loss of
braking and steering. The machine can slide even
if the drive wheels are stopped.
•
Remove or mark obstacles such as ditches, holes,
ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden hazards. Tall
grass can hide obstacles. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine.
•
Use extra care while operating with accessories or
attachments. These can change the stability of
the machine and cause a loss of control. Follow
directions for counter weights.
•
If you lose control of the machine, step off and
away from the direction of travel of the machine.
Service
•
To ensure optimum performance and continued
safety certification of the machine, use only
genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories.
Replacement parts and accessories made by
other manufacturers could be dangerous, and
such use could void the product warranty.
•
Never remove or tamper with safety devices.
Check their proper operation regularly. Never do
anything to interfere with the intended function of a
safety device or to reduce the protection provided
by a safety device.
•
Check the brake operation frequently. Adjust and
service the brakes as required.
