Fuel Safety
•
Use extra care when handling fuel. It is flammable
and its vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
•
Use only an approved fuel container.
•
Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot.
•
Do not add or drain fuel in an enclosed space.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.
•
If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine;
avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel
vapors have dissipated.
Operation
•
Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur.
•
Never run an engine in an enclosed area.
•
Operate the machine only in good light, keeping
away from holes and hidden hazards.
•
Start the engine only from the operator’s position.
•
Never operate without the shields, covers, or other
guards securely in place. Ensure that all interlocks
are functioning properly.
•
Do not change the engine governor setting or
overspeed the engine.
•
Raise the cutting blades, stop the machine, and
shut off the engine before leaving the operator’s
position for any reason.
•
Stop the machine, shut off the engine, wait for
all moving parts to stop, and inspect the cutting
blades after striking an object or if an abnormal
vibration occurs. Make necessary repairs before
resuming operation.
•
Keep your hands and feet away from the cutting
blade area.
•
Keep bystanders, especially small children, out of
the operating area. Stop the machine if anyone
enters the area.
•
Be alert, slow down, and use caution when making
turns. Look behind and to the side before changing
directions.
•
Slow down and use caution when crossing roads
and sidewalks.
•
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Lightning can cause severe injury or death. If
lightning is seen or thunder is heard in the area, do
not operate the machine; seek shelter.
•
Use extreme care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or truck.
•
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
•
Always be aware of obstacles that may be in the
area of operation. Plan your path to avoid contact
with any obstacle by you or the machine.
Slope Safety
•
Use the machine across the face of slopes; never
up and down. Use extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
•
Do not use the machine on excessively steep
slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip-and-fall
accident.
•
Use the machine with caution near drop-offs,
ditches, or embankments.
Maintenance and Storage
•
Park the machine on a level surface, shut off the
engine, and wait for all movement to stop before
adjusting, cleaning, or repairing. Raise the cutting
blades, stop the machine, shut off the engine, and
disconnect the spark-plug wire.
•
Clean grass and debris from the blades, drives,
mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires. Clean
up oil or fuel spills.
•
Let the engine cool before storing and do not store
the machine near a flame.
•
Shut off the fuel while storing or transporting the
machine on trailers. Do not store fuel near flames
or drain indoors.
•
Never allow untrained personnel to service the
machine.
•
Use jack stands or safety latches to support
components when required.
•
Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
•
Remove the spark-plug wire before making any
repairs.
•
Keep your hands and feet away from moving
parts. If possible, do not make adjustments with
the engine running.
•
Keep all parts in good working condition and all
hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged
decals.
•

optimal performance of your Toro equipment,
