roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the
edge gives way.
•
When using the machine on public roads, follow
all traffic regulations and use any additional
accessories that may be required by law, such as
lights, turn signals, slow-moving vehicle (SMV)
signs, and others as required.
•
If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop the
machine immediately, shut off the engine, remove
the key, wait for all movement to stop, and inspect
for damage. Repair all damage to the machine
before resuming operation.
•
Carry a reduced load and reduce the ground
speed of the machine when operating on rough,
uneven terrain, and near curbs, holes, and other
sudden changes in terrain. Loads may shift,
causing the machine to become unstable.
•
It can take longer to stop the machine on wet
surfaces than on dry surfaces. To dry out wet
brakes, drive slowly on level ground while putting
light pressure on the brake pedal.
•
Sudden changes in terrain may move the steering
wheel unexpectedly, which could result in hand
and arm injuries. Reduce your speed and grip
the steering wheel loosely around the perimeter,
keeping your thumbs out of the way of the steering
wheel spokes.
•
Reduce the speed when you operate the machine
with the cargo bed removed. Operating the
machine at high speed and then quickly stopping
may cause the rear wheels to lock up, which
impairs your control of the machine.
•
Do not touch the engine, transmission, muffler, or
muffler manifold while the engine is running, or
soon after you shut off the engine, because these
areas may be hot enough to cause burns.
•
Do not leave a running machine unattended.
•
Before leaving the operating position, do the
following:
– Park the machine on level ground.
– Engage the parking brake.
– Lower the cargo bed.
– Shut off the engine and remove the key.
•
Do not operate the machine when there is the risk
of lightning.
•
Use accessories and attachments approved by
The Toro® Company only.
Rollover Protection System
(ROPS) Safety
•
Do not
remove the ROPS from the machine.
•
Ensure that the seat belt is attached and that you
can release it quickly in an emergency.
•
Check carefully for overhead obstructions and do
not contact them.
•
Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by
thoroughly inspecting it periodically for damage
and keeping all the mounting fasteners tight.
•
Replace damaged ROPS components. Do not
repair or alter them.
Machines with a Fixed Roll Bar
•
The ROPS is an integral safety device.
•
Always wear your seat belt.
Slope Safety
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control
and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe
injury or death.
•
Survey the site to determine which slopes are
safe for operating the machine and establish your
own procedures and rules for operating on those
slopes. Always use common sense and good
judgment when performing this survey.
•
If you feel uneasy operating the machine on a
slope, do not do it.
•
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
Do not suddenly change the speed or direction of
the machine.
•
Avoid operating the machine on wet terrain. Tires
may lose traction. A rollover can occur before the
tires lose traction.
•
Travel straight up and down a slope.
•
If you begin to lose momentum while climbing a
slope, gradually engage the brakes and slowly
reverse the machine straight down the slope.
•
Turning while going up or down a slope can be
dangerous. If you must turn on a slope, do it slowly
and cautiously.
•
Heavy loads affect stability on a slope. Carry a
reduced load and reduce your ground speed when
operating on a slope or if the load has a high
center of gravity. Secure the load to the cargo bed
of the machine to prevent the load from shifting.
Take extra care when hauling loads that shift easily
(e.g., liquids, rock, sand, etc.).
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine
on a slope, especially with a load. Stopping while
going down a slope takes longer than stopping
on level ground. If you must stop the machine,
avoid sudden speed changes, which can cause
the machine to tip or roll over. Do not engage the
brakes suddenly when rolling rearward, as this
may cause the machine to overturn.
