Toro Multi Pro 1750, Operator'S Manual

Page: 7 / 76

•
Never drive across a steep hill; always drive
straight up or down or go around the hill.
•
If the engine stalls or you begin to lose headway
while climbing a hill, gradually apply the brakes
and slowly back straight down the hill.
•
Turning while traveling up or down hills can be
dangerous. If you have to turn while on a hill, do it
slowly and cautiously. Never make sharp or fast
turns.
•
Heavy loads affect stability. Reduce the weight of
the load and your speed when operating on hills.
•
Avoid stopping on hills, especially with a load.
Stopping while going down a hill will take longer
than stopping on level ground. If you must stop
the machine, avoid sudden speed changes, which
may initiate tipping or rolling of the machine.
Do not suddenly apply the brakes when rolling
backward, as this may cause the machine to
overturn.
•
Use the seat belt when operating the machine and
be certain that it can be released quickly in the
event of an emergency.
•
Do not remove or alter the rollover protection
system (ROPS).
•
Always keep the transmission in gear when you
drive the machine down a slope.
•
Reduce speed and load when operating on rough
terrain, uneven ground, and near curbs, holes, and
other sudden changes in terrain. Loads may shift,
causing the machine to become unstable.
WARNING
Sudden changes in terrain may cause
abrupt steering wheel movement, possibly
resulting in hand and arm injuries.
Grip the steering wheel loosely around the
perimeter. Keep your hands clear of the
steering wheel spokes
Loading
The weight of the cargo can change the center of
gravity of the machine and the handling of it. To
avoid loss of control and personal injury, follow these
guidelines:
•
Liquid loads can shift. This shifting happens
most often while turning, going up or down hills,
suddenly changing speeds, or while driving over
rough surfaces. Shifting loads can cause the
machine to tip over.
•
When operating with a heavy load, reduce your
speed and allow for sufficient braking distance. Do
not suddenly apply the brakes. Use extra caution
on slopes.
•
Be aware that heavy loads increase your stopping
distance and reduce your ability to turn quickly
without tipping over.
Maintenance
•
Only permit qualified and authorized personnel to
maintain, repair, adjust, or inspect the machine.
•
Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, park the machine on a level surface,
engage the parking brake, shut off the engine,
and remove the key to prevent someone from
accidentally starting the engine.
•
To make sure that the entire machine is in good
condition, keep all nuts, bolts, and screws properly
tightened.
•
To reduce the potential for fire, keep the engine
area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and
accumulation of dirt.
•
Never use an open flame to check the level or
leakage of fuel or battery electrolyte.
•
If you must run the engine to perform a
maintenance adjustment, keep your hands, feet,
clothing, and any parts of your body away from
the engine and any moving parts. Keep everyone
away.
•
Do not use open pans of fuel or flammable
cleaning fluids when cleaning parts.
•
Do not adjust the traction control speed. To ensure
safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro
Distributor check the ground speed.
•
Keep your body and hands away from pinhole
leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure fluid. Use
cardboard or paper to find leaks. Fluid escaping
under pressure can penetrate skin and cause
injury requiring surgery within a few hours by a
qualified surgeon; otherwise, gangrene may result.
•
If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is
required, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
•
To be sure of optimum performance and safety,
always purchase genuine Toro replacement
parts and accessories. Replacement parts and
accessories made by other manufacturers could
be dangerous. Altering this machine in any manner
that may affect sprayer operation, performance,
durability, or its use, may result in injury or death.
Such use could void the product warranty.
