symbol, which means

Safe Operating Practices

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.

• If the operator or mechanic can not read the language of this manual, it is the owner’s responsibility to explain this material to them.

• 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;

• being driven too fast;

• inadequate braking;

• the type of machine is unsuitable for the task;

• lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes.

• The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for accidents or injuries occurring to himself or herself, other people, or property.

Preparation

• Remember there is no such thing as a safe slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To guard against overturning:

– do not stop or start suddenly when going up or

downhill;

– machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and

during tight turns;

• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear, long trousers, hard hat, safety glasses, and hearing 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

refueling.

– 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 tank and container caps securely.

• Replace faulty silencers/mufflers.

• 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.

• Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all

blade attachment clutches, shift into neutral, and engage the parking brake.

– 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.

– Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when

suggested in the operator’s manual.

• Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards.

• Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.

• Stop the blades from 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;

– disengage the power take-off and lower the

attachments;

– 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 making height adjustment unless adjustment

can be made from the operator’s position.

– before clearing blockages;

– before checking, cleaning or working on the mower;

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

– 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 before stopping the engine and, if the engine is provided with a fuel 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 blades from rotating.

• Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not point it at anyone.

• Do not operate the mower under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Use care when loading or unloading the machine onto a trailer or truck.

• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

• Use care when checking the blades. 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

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.

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/muffler, battery compartment fuel storage area, cutting units and drives free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.

• 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-spindle mowers, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate.

• Disengage drives, lower the cutting units, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key. Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning or repairing.

• Use jack stands to support components when required.

• Carefully release pressure from components with stored

energy.

• Disconnect battery before making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and negative last.

Use of this product for purposes other than its intended use could prove dangerous to user and bystanders.

Warning

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison that can kill you.

Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed area.

• Know how to stop the engine quickly.

• Do not operate the machine while wearing tennis shoes

or sneakers.

• Wearing safety shoes and long pants is advisable and required by some local ordinances and insurance regulations.

• Handle fuel carefully. Wipe up any spills.

• 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 interlock switches in the safety system, whether they are working properly or not.

• Before starting the engine, sit on the seat.

• Using the machine demands attention. To prevent loss

of control:

– Do not drive close to sand traps, ditches, creeks,

embankments, 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.

• When operating a machine on slopes, by banks, or drop offs, always have ROPS (roll–over protection system) installed.

• When operating a machine with ROPS (roll–over protection system) always use the seat belt and make sure seat pivot retainer pin is installed (GM only).

• 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.

• To ensure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro Distributor check the maximum engine speed with a tachometer.

• If major repairs are ever needed or if assistance is desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.

• Raise the cutting units when driving from one work area to another but they must be lowered when going down slopes to maintain steering control.

• Do not touch the engine, silencer/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.

• On any hill, there is the possibility of tipping or rolling over, but the risk increases as the slope angle increases. Steep hills should be avoided.

• Engage traction drive slowly, always keep foot on traction pedal, especially when traveling downhill.

– Use reverse on traction pedal for braking.

• If the machine stalls when climbing 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.

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.

• Use only Toro-approved attachments and replacement parts. The warranty may be voided if used with unapproved attachments.

4. Side panel latch

Warning

Battery terminals or metal tools could short against metal tractor components, causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.

• When removing or installing the battery, do not allow the battery terminals to touch any metal parts of the tractor.

• Do not allow metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal parts of the tractor.

3. Check both batteries for charge with a hydrometer. If batteries check acceptably, slide tray back in place, secure with capscrews and lockwashers and install side panel. If batteries require charging, proceed to step 4.

Warning

Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the tractor and cables, causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.

• Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable.

• Always reconnect the positive (red) battery cable before reconnecting the negative (black) cable.

4. Remove negative (–) battery cables from batteries

(Fig. 2). Connect a 3 to 4 Amp battery charger to the posts. Charge the batteries at a rate of 3 to 4 Amperes for 4 to 8 hours.

Warning

Charging the battery produces gasses that can explode.

Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and flames away from the battery. Charge batteries in a open well ventilated area.

5. When batteries are fully charged, disconnect charger

from electrical outlet and battery posts.

6. Install negative (–) cable ends, slide tray back in place, secure with capscrews and install side panel.

Before Operating

Checking the Engine Oil

The engine is shipped with 8.5 qt. (8 l) of oil in the crankcase. However, check level of oil before and after the engine is first started.

The engine uses any high quality detergent oil having the American Petroleum Institute (API) “service classification” CH–4, CI–4 or higher. Use the following chart to select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the ambient temperature. Recommended oil viscosity is SAE 15W–40 for all seasons.

Ambient Temperature Oil Viscosity

23° to 104° F (–5° to 40° C) SAE 30

41° to 122° F (5° to 50° C) SAE 40

5° to 122° F (–15° to 50° C) SAE 15W–40

–13 to 104° F (–25° to 40° C) SAE 10W–30

–22° to 68° F (–30° to 20° C) SAE 5W–20

Toro Premium Engine oil is available from your distributor in either 15W–40 or 10W–30 viscosity. See the parts catalog for part numbers.

3. Remove dipstick (Fig. 5), wipe with a clean rag, and insert into tube until fully seated. Remove dipstick from tube and check oil level. If oil level is low, remove filler cap (Fig. 6). Add proper type of oil until level is between the upper and lower holes on the dipstick (Fig. 7). Do not overfill.

Figure 5

1. Dipstick

Important After the engine is operated, the oil drains

back to the oil pan very slowly. Before checking the oil level, allow adequate time for the oil to drain back to the pan so an accurate measurement can be attained.

1. Be sure machine is positioned on a level surface.

2. Unlatch hood and raise and prop it open (Fig. 3). Make

sure hood prop is secured in one of the mounting brackets on hood. Unlatch and remove the left side panel.

Important Check oil after every 5 hours operation or

daily. Change oil and filter after the first 50 hours, then change both every 100 hours operation thereafter. Change oil and filter more frequently when engine is operated in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.

4. Insert dipstick into tube and close and latch hood.
