standards and specifications. Although hazard control
and accident prevention partially are dependent upon
the design and configuration of the machine, these factors are also 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 ofthemachinecan
resultin injury or death. Toreducethepotentialforinjury
or death, comply with the following safety instructions.
Before Operating
WARNING
To reduce the potential for injury or death,
comply with the following safety instructions.
1. Review and understand the contents of the Operator’s Manual and Operator’s DVD before starting and
operatingthe vehicle. Become familiar with the controls
and know how to stop the vehicle and engine quickly.
AdditionalcopiesoftheOperator’sManualareavailable
on the internet at www.Toro.com.

Ifa shield, safety device or decal isdefective,illegibleor
damaged, repair or replace it before operating the machine.Also tighten anyloosenuts,bolts or screws toensure machine is in safe operating condition.
3. Assure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so
engine cannot be started unless traction pedal is in
NEUTRAL and cutting decks are DISENGAGED.
4. Since diesel fuel is highly flammable, handle it carefully:
A. Use an approved fuel container.
B. Donotremovefuel tank capwhileengine ishotor
running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
D. Fillfueltankoutdoors and onlytowithinan inch of
the top of the tank, not the filler neck. Do not overfill.

Groundsmaster 4000--D/4010--DPage 1 -- 2Safety
While Operating
1. Sit on the seat when starting and operating the machine.
2. Before starting the engine:
A. Apply the parking brake.
B. Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and the
PTO switch is OFF (disengaged).
C. Afterengineis started,releaseparking brakeand
keepfootofftraction pedal. Machine must not move.
If movement is evident, the traction pedal linkage is
adjusted incorrectly; therefore, shut engine off and
adjust until machine does not move when traction
pedal is released.
3. Do not run engine in a confined area without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
4. Do not touch engine, muffler or exhaust pipe while
engineisrunningorsoonafteritisstopped.Theseareas
could be hot enough to cause burns.
5. Before getting off the seat:
A. Ensure that traction pedal is in neutral.
B. Apply the parking brake.
Safety
C. Disengage cutting decks and wait for blades to
stop.
D. Stop engine and remove key from switch.
E. Toro recommends that anytime the machine is
parked(shortor long term), the cutting decksshould
be lowered to the ground. This relieves hydraulic
pressurefrom the lift circuit and eliminates the risk of
the cutting decks unexpectedly lowering to the
ground.
F. Do notpark ons lopes unlesswheelsarechocked
or blocked.

Torque Specifications
Recommended fastener torque values are listed in the
followingtables.Forcriticalapplications,as determined
byToro,eitherthe recommended torque or atorquethat
is unique to the application is clearly identified and specified in this Service Manual.
These Torque Specifications for the installation and
tightening of fasteners shall apply toall fasteners which
donot have a specificrequirement identified in this Service Manual. The following factors shall be considered
when applying torque: cleanliness of the fastener, use
of a thread sealant (e.g. Loctite), degree of lubrication
on the fastener,presence of a prevailing torque feature
(e.g. Nylock nut), hardness of the surface underneath
thefastener’sheadorsimilarcondition whichaffectsthe
installation.
Fastener Identification
Asnoted inthefollowingtables,torquevaluesshouldbe
reduced by 25% for lubricated fasteners to achieve
the similar stress as a dry fastener.Torque values may
also have to be reduced when the fastener is threaded
into aluminum or brass. The specific torque value
should be determined based on the aluminum or brass
material strength, fastener size, length of thread engagement, etc.
The standard method of verifying torque shall be performed by marking a line on the fastener (head or nut)
and mating part, then back off fastener 1/4 of a turn.
Measurethe torque required to tighten the fastener until
the lines match up.
