Safety
– Do not fill tank while engine is hot or running.
– Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
Safe Operating Practices
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, and proper training of the
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of the machine. Improper use
or maintenance of the machine can result in injury or
death. To reduce the potential for injury or death,
comply with the following safety instructions.
Before Operating
• Never allow children to operate the machine. Do not
allow adults to operate machine without proper
instruction. Only trained operators who have read this
manual should operate this machine.
• Never operate the machine when under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
• Keep all bystanders away from the operating area.
• Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a shield,
safety device or decal is illegible or damaged, repair or
replace it before operation is commenced. Also tighten
any loose nuts, bolts and screws to assure machine is in
safe operating condition.
• Do not operate machine while wearing sandals, tennis
shoes, sneakers or shorts. Also, do not wear loose fitting
clothing which could get caught in moving parts.
Always wear long pants and substantial shoes. Wearing
safety glasses, safety shoes and a helmet is advisable
and required by some local ordinances and insurance
regulations.
• Check interlock switches daily for proper operation
(Refer To Section in Traction Unit Operator’s Manual
on Checking Interlock Switches). Do not rely entirely
on safety switches - shut off engine before getting off
seat. If a switch fails, replace it before operating the
machine. The interlock system is for your protection, so
do not bypass it. Replace all interlock switches every
two years. Interlock switches should be adjusted so:
– Engine cannot be started unless traction pedal is
released (neutral position) and PTO switch is
DISENGAGED (off position).
– Engine stops if operator gets off seat when traction
pedal is depressed.
– Engine stops if operator gets off seat when PTO
lever is ENGAGED (on position).
• Fill fuel tank before starting the engine. Avoid spilling
any fuel. Since fuel is flammable, handle it carefully.
– Use an approved fuel container.
– Fill fuel tank outdoors and up to about one inch
from top of the tank, not the filler neck.
– Wipe up any spilled gasoline.
While Operating
• Do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
• Maximum seating capacity is one person. Never carry
passengers.
• Sit on the seat when starting the engine and operating
the machine.
• This product may exceed noise levels of 85 dB(A) at
the operator position. Ear protectors are recommended
for prolonged exposure to reduce the potential of
permanent hearing damage.
• Before starting the engine:
A. Engage the parking brake.
B. Ensure traction pedal is in neutral and PTO is in the
OFF, disengaged position.
C. After engine is started, release parking brake and
keep foot off traction pedal. Machine must not
move. If movement is evident, the neutral return
mechanism is adjusted incorrectly; therefore, shut
engine off and adjust until machine does not move
when traction pedal is released.
• Using the machine demands attention, and to prevent
loss of control:
– Operate only in daylight or when there is good
artificial light.
– Drive slowly and watch for holes or other hidden
hazards.
– Do not drive close to a sand trap, ditch, creek or
other hazard.
– Reduce speed when making sharp turns and when
turning on hillsides.
– Avoid sudden starts and stops.
– Before backing up, look to the rear and assure no
one is behind the machine.
– Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads.
Always yield the right–of –way.
• Stay away from discharge opening when machine is
operating. Keep all bystanders away from the discharge
opening and don’t direct discharge toward bystanders.
3
• If engine stalls or machine loses headway and cannot
make it to the top of a slope, do not turn machine
around. Always back slowly straight down the slope.
• DON’T TAKE AN INJURY RISK! When a person or
pet appears unexpectedly in or near the operating area,
STOP OPERATION. Careless operation, combined
with terrain angles, ricochets, or improperly positioned
guards can lead to thrown object injuries. Do not
resume operation until area is cleared.
• Do not touch engine or muffler while engine is running
or soon after it is stopped. These areas could be hot
enough to cause a burn.
• Before getting off the seat:
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be
relieved by stopping engine and lowering blower to the
ground.
• If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance
adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing and other parts of
the body away from the fan and other moving parts.
• Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor
settings. To be sure of safety and accuracy, have an
Authorized TORO Distributor check maximum engine
speed with a tachometer.
• Engine must be shut off before checking oil or adding
oil to the crankcase.
– Move traction pedal to neutral position and remove
foot from pedal.
– Set the parking brake and disengage the PTO.
– Shut the engine off and remove the key from the
ignition switch. Wait for all movement to stop
before getting off the seat.
• Lower the blower to the ground and remove key from
ignition switch whenever machine is left unattended.
Maintenance
• Remove key from ignition switch to prevent accidental
starting of the engine when servicing, adjusting or
storing the machine.
• Perform only those maintenance instructions described
in this manual. If major repairs are ever needed or
assistance is desired, contact an Authorized Toro
Distributor.
• To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine free of
excessive grease, grass, leaves and accumulations of
dirt. Never wash a warm engine or any electrical parts
with water.
• Be sure machine is in safe operating condition by
keeping nuts, bolts and screws tight. Check the rotor
bearing mounting bolts and nuts frequently to be sure
they are tightened to specification.
• 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 body and hands away from pin hole leaks in
hydraulic lines that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid.
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate
skin and cause injury. Fluid accidentally injected into
the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours
by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene
may result.
• At the time of manufacture the blower conformed to
safety standards in effect for riding mowers. Therefore,
to ensure optimum performance and safety, always
purchase genuine TORO replacement parts and
accessories to keep the Toro all TORO. NEVER USE
“WILL–FIT” REPLACEMENT PARTS AND
ACCESSORIES MADE BY OTHER
MANUFACTURERS. Look for the TORO logo to
assure genuineness. Using unapproved replacement
parts and accessories could void the warranty of The
Toro Company.
