Safety
General Safety Instructions
The GROUNDSMASTER 4500-D/4700--D was tested
and certified by TORO for compliance with the
B71.4-1999 specifications of the American National
Standards Institute. Although hazard control and acci-
dent prevention partially are dependent upon the design
and configuration of the machine, these factors are also
dependent upon the awareness, concern, and proper
training of the personnel involved in the operation, trans-
port, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Improp-
er use or maintenance of the machine can result in injury
or death. To reduce the potential for injury or death, com-
ply with the following safety instructions.
WARNING
To reduce the potential for injury or death,
comply with the following safety instructions.
Before Operating
1. Read and understand the contents of the Operator’s
Manual before starting and operating the machine. Be-
come 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 or
by sending the complete model and serial number to:
The Toro Company
Attn. Technical Publications
8111 Lyndale Avenue South
Bloomington, Minnesota 55420--1196
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. Also tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws to
ensure machine is in safe operating condition.
3. Assure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so
engine cannot be started unless traction pedal is in
NEUTRAL and cutting units are DISENGAGED.
4. Since diesel fuel is highly flammable, handle it care-
fully:
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 of
the top of the tank, not the filler neck. Do not overfill.
E. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
While Operating
1. Sit on the seat when starting and operating the ma-
chine.
2. Before starting the engine:
A. Engage the parking brake.
B. Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and the
PTO switch is OFF (disengaged).
C. After engine is started, release parking brake and
keep foot off traction pedal. Machine must not move.
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.
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, muffler or exhaust pipe while
engine is running or soon after it is stopped. These areas
could be hot enough to cause burns.
5. Before getting off the seat:
A. Ensure that traction pedal is in neutral.
B. Set parking brake.
C. Disengage cutting units and wait for blades to
stop.
D. Stop engine and remove key from switch.
E. Toro recommends that anytime the machine is
parked (short or long term), the cutting units should
be lowered to the ground. This relieves pressure
from the lift circuit and eliminates the risk of cutting
units accidentally lowering to the ground.
F. Do not park on slopes unless wheels are chocked
or blocked.
