During Operation
During Operation Safety
General Safety
•
The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible
for accidents that may cause personal injury or
property damage.
•
Wear appropriate clothing, including eye
protection; slip-resistant, substantial foot
protection; and hearing protection. Tie back long
hair and do not wear jewelry.
•
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Never carry passengers on the machine and keep
bystanders and pets away from the machine
during operation.
•
Operate the machine only in good visibility to avoid
holes or hidden hazards.
•
Avoid mowing on wet grass. Reduced traction
could cause the machine to slide.
•
Before you start the engine, ensure that all drives
are in neutral, the parking brake is engaged, and
you are in the operating position.
•
Keep your hands and feet away from the cutting
units. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all
times.
•
Look behind and down before backing up to be
sure of a clear path.
•
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure your
vision.
•
Stop the blades whenever you are not mowing.
•
Stop the machine and inspect the blades after
striking an object or if there is an abnormal
vibration in the machine. Make all necessary
repairs before resuming operation.
•
Slow down and use caution when making turns
and crossing roads and sidewalks with the
machine. Always yield the right-of-way.
•
Disengage the drive to the cutting unit and shut
off the engine before adjusting the height of
cut (unless you can adjust it from the operating
position).
•
Never run an engine in an area where exhaust
gasses are enclosed.
•
Never leave a running machine unattended.
•
Before leaving the operating position (including
to empty the catchers or to unclog the chute), do
the following:
– Park the machine on level ground.
– Disengage the power takeoff and lower the
attachments.
– Engage the parking brake.
– Shut off the engine and remove the key from
the key switch.
– Wait for all moving parts to stop.
•
Do not operate the machine when there is the risk
of lightning.
•
Do not use the machine as a towing vehicle.
•
Use accessories, attachments, and replacement
parts 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 a damaged ROPS. Do not repair or alter
it.
Machines with Cabs
•
The ROPS is an integral and effective safety
device.
•
A cab installed by Toro is a roll bar.
•
Always wear your seat belt.
Machines with a Foldable Roll Bar
•
Always use the seat belt with the roll bar in the
raised position.
•
The ROPS is an integral safety device. Keep a
folding roll bar in the raised and locked position,
and use the seat belt when operating the machine
with the roll bar in the raised position.
•
Lower a folding roll bar temporarily only when
necessary. Do not wear the seat belt when the
roll bar is folded down.
•
Be aware that there is no rollover protection when
a folded roll bar is in the down position.
•
Check the area that you will be mowing and never
fold down a folding roll bar in areas where there
are slopes, drop-offs, or water.
Slope Safety
•
Establish your own procedures and rules for
operating on slopes. These procedures must
include surveying the site to determine which
slopes are safe for machine operation. Always
