This manual identifies potential hazards and has special
safety messages that help you and others avoid personal
injury and even death. Danger, Warning, and Caution are
signal words used to identify the level of hazard.
However, regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful.
Danger signals an extreme hazard that will cause serious
injury or death if you do not follow the recommended
precautions.
Warning signals a hazard that may cause serious injury or
death if you do not follow the recommended precautions.
Caution signals a hazard that may cause minor or
moderate injury if you do not follow the recommended
precautions.
The following instructions are from the CEN standard EN
836:1997, ISO standard 5395:1990, and ANSI
B71.4-1999.
Training
• Read the Operator ’s Manual and other training
material carefully. Be familiar with the controls, safety
signs, and the proper use of the equipment.
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use or service the mower. Local
regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
• Never mow while people, especially children, or pets
are nearby.
• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
• Do not carry passengers.
• All drivers and mechanics should seek and obtain
professional and practical instruction. The owner is
responsible for training the users. Such instruction
should emphasize:
– the need for care and concentration when working
with ride-on machines;
– control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will
not be regained by the application of the brake.
The main reasons for loss of control are:
• insufficient wheel grip;
3
• being driven too fast;
• inadequate braking;
• the type of machine is unsuitable for its task;
• lack of awareness of the effect of ground
conditions, especially slopes;
• incorrect hitching and load distribution.
• The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for
accidents or injuries occurring to himself or herself,
other people, or property.
• Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all
blade attachment clutches, shift into neutral, and
engage the parking brake.
• Do not use on slopes of more than
–5° when mowing on side hills;
–10° when mowing uphill;
–15° when mowing downhill.
• Remember there is no such thing as a safe slope.
Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To
guard against overturning:
Preparation
• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear, long
trousers, hard hat, safety glasses, and ear protection.
Long hair, loose clothing, or jewelry may get tangled
in moving parts. Do not operate the equipment when
barefoot or wearing open sandals.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to
be used and remove all objects which may be thrown
by the machine.
• Warning—Fuel is highly flammable. Take the
following precautions:
– Store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose.
– Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while
refuelling.
– Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove
the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the
engine is running or when the engine is hot.
– If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
but move the machine away from the area of
spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition
until fuel vapors have dissipated.
– Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.
• Replace faulty silencers.
• Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and
attachments are needed to properly and safely perform
the job. Only use accessories and attachments
approved by the manufacturer.
• Check that operator ’s presence controls, safety
switches and shields are attached and functioning
properly. Do not operate unless they are functioning
properly.
Operation
• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
• Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
– do not stop or start suddenly when going up or
downhill;
– engage clutch slowly, always keep machine in gear,
especially when travelling downhill;
– machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and
during tight turns;
– stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden
hazards;
– never mow across the face of the slope, unless the
mower is designed for this purpose.
• Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden
hazards.
• Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment.
– Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
– Limit loads to those you can safely control.
– Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.
– Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when
suggested in the owner’s manual.
• Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.
• Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other
than grass.
• When using any attachments, never direct discharge of
material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the
machine while in operation.
• Never operate the machine with damaged guards,
shields, or without safety protective devices in place.
Be sure all interlocks are attached, adjusted properly,
and functioning properly.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at
excessive speed may increase the hazard of personal
injury.
• Before leaving the operator’s position:
– stop on level ground;
4
– disengage the power take-off and lower the
attachments;
• Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
– change into neutral and set the parking brake;
– stop the engine and remove the key.
• Disengage drive to attachments when transporting or
not in use.
• Stop the engine and disengage drive to attachment
– before refuelling;
– before removing the grass catcher/catchers;
– before making height adjustment unless adjustment
can be made from the operator’s position.
– before clearing blockages;
– before checking, cleaning or working on the
mower;
– after striking a foreign object or if an abnormal
vibration occurs. Inspect the mower for damage
and make repairs before restarting and operating
the equipment.
• Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and,
if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn the
fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.
• Keep hands and feet away from the cutting units.
• Look behind and down before backing up to be sure of
a clear path.
• Slow down and use caution when making turns and
crossing roads and sidewalks. Stop reels if not
mowing.
• Do not operate the mower under the influence of
alcohol or drugs
• Use 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.
• Keep all parts in good working condition and all
hardware and hydraulic fittings tightened. Replace all
worn or damaged parts and decals.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to
prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving
blades and fixed parts of the machine.
• On multi-reel machines, take care as rotating one reel
can cause other reels to rotate.
• Disengage drives, lower the cutting units, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key and disconnect
spark plug wire. Wait for all movement to stop before
adjusting, cleaning or repairing.
• Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,
mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires. Clean up oil
or fuel spillage.
• Use jack stands to support components when required.
• Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
• Disconnect battery and remove spark plug wire before
making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal
first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and
negative last.
• Use care when checking the reels. Wear gloves and use
caution when servicing them.
• Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If
possible, do not make adjustments with the engine
running.
• Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away
from spark and flames. Unplug charger before
connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear
protective clothing and use insulated tools.
Toro Riding Mower Safety
Maintenance and Storage
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside
a building where fumes may reach an open flame or
spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and fuel storage area free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
The following list contains safety information specific to
Toro products or other safety information that you must
know that is not included in the CEN, ISO, or ANSI
standard.
This product is capable of amputating hands and feet and
throwing objects. Always follow all safety instructions to
avoid serious injury or death.
Use of this product for purposes other than its intended
use could prove dangerous to user and bystanders.
• Know how to stop the engine quickly.
• Do not operate the machine while wearing tennis shoes
or sneakers.
5
• Wearing safety shoes and long pants is advisable and
required by some local ordinances and insurance
regulations.
• The operator must be skilled and trained in how to
drive on hillsides. Failure to use caution on slopes or
hills may cause loss of control and cause the vehicle to
top or roll, possibly resulting in personal injury or
death.
• Handle gasoline carefully. Wipe up any spills.
• Before getting off of the seat, move the functional
control lever to neutral (N), raise the cutting units and
wait for the reels to stop spinning. Set the parking
brake. Stop the engine and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
• Whenever the machine is left unattended, make sure
that the cutting units are fully raised and the reels are
not spinning, the key is removed from the ignition
switch, and the parking brake is set.
• Check the safety interlock switches daily for proper
operation. If a switch should fail, replace the switch
before operating the machine. After every two years,
replace all four interlock switches in the safety system,
regardless if they are working properly or not.
• Before starting the engine, sit on the seat, depress the
lift pedal, and release it to ensure that the cutting units
are disengaged. Verify that the traction system is in
neutral and the parking brake is set.
• Using the machine demands attention. To prevent loss
of control:
– Do not drive close to sand traps, ditches, creeks, or
other hazards.
– Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid
sudden stops and starts.
– When near or crossing roads, always yield the
right-of-way.
– Apply the service brakes when going downhill to
keep forward speed slow and to maintain control of
the machine.
• The grass baskets must be in place during operation of
the reels or thatchers for maximum safety. Shut the
engine off before emptying the baskets.
• Raise the cutting units when driving from one work
area to another.
• Do not touch the engine, muffler, or exhaust pipe
while the engine is running or soon after it has stopped
because these areas could be hot enough to cause
burns.
• Stay clear of the rotating screen at the side of the
engine to prevent direct contact with your body or
clothing.
Maintenance and Storage
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks
or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high
pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to
search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin
and cause serious injury.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the
cutting units and attachments to the ground.
• Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a regular
basis. Tighten or repair them as needed.
• If the engine must be running to perform a
maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing,
and any parts of the body away from the cutting units,
attachments, and any moving parts, especially the
screen at the side of the engine. Keep everyone away.
• The engine must be shut off before checking the oil or
adding oil to the crankcase.
• To ensure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized
Toro Distributor check the maximum engine speed
with a tachometer. Maximum governed engine speed
should be 2900 RPM.
• If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is
desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
• Use only Toro-approved attachments and replacement
parts. The warranty may be voided if used with
unapproved attachments.
• If the engine stalls or loses headway and cannot make
it to the top of a slope, do not turn the machine around.
Always back slowly, straight down the slope.
• When a person or pet appears unexpectedly in or near
the mowing area, stop mowing. Careless operation,
combined with terrain angles, ricochets, or improperly
positioned guards can lead to thrown object injuries.
Do not resume mowing until the area is cleared.
