Safety

Mac hines with model n umbers 30360TC , 30360TE, 30361, 30362, 30363TC , 30363TE, 30364, or 30365 meet or ex ceed CEN standard EN 836:1997 and ANSI B71.4-2004 speciﬁcations in effect at the time of production. Mac hines with model n umbers 30360 or 30363 meet or ex ceed ANSI B71.4-2004 speciﬁcations in effect at the time of production.

Improper use or maintenance b y the operator or o wner can result in injur y . T o reduce the potential for injur y , comply with these safety instr uctions and alw a ys pa y attention to the safety aler t symbol, whic h means Caution, W ar ning , or Danger —personal safety instr uction. F ailure to comply with the instr uction ma y result in personal injur y or death.

Safe Operating Practices

T he follo wing instr uctions are from the CEN standard EN 836:1997 and ANSI B71.4-2004.

T his product is capable of amputating hands and feet and thro wing objects . Alw a ys follo w all safety instr uctions to a v oid serious injur y or death.

Training

• R ead the Operator’ s Manual and other training material carefully . Be familiar with the controls , safety signs , and the proper use of the equipment.

• Nev er allo w c hildren or people unfamiliar with these instr uctions to use the la wn mo w er . Local regulations can restrict the ag e of the operator .

• Nev er mo w while people , especially c hildren, or pets are nearb y .

• K ee p in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occur ring to other people or their proper ty .

• Do not car r y passeng ers .

• All dri v ers should seek and obtain professional

and practical instr uction. Suc h instr uction should emphasize:

– the need for care and concentration when

w orking with ride-on mac hines;

– control of a ride-on mac hine sliding on a

slope will not be reg ained b y the application

of the control lev ers . T he main reasons for loss of control are:

◊ insufﬁcient wheel g rip , especially on

w et g rass;

◊ being dri v en too fast;

◊ inadequate braking;

◊ the type of mac hine is unsuitable for its

task;

◊ lac k of a w areness of the effect of

g round conditions , especially slopes;

◊ incor rect load distribution.

Preparation

• W hile mo wing, alw a ys w ear substantial footw ear and long trousers . Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or w earing open sandals .

• T horoughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remo v e all objects whic h ma y be thro wn b y the mac hine .

• W ar ning —fuel is highly ﬂammable .

– Store fuel in containers speciﬁcally designed

for this pur pose .

– R efuel outdoors only and do not smok e

while refueling .

– Add fuel before star ting the engine . Nev er

remo v e the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is r unning or when the engine is hot.

– If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to star t the

engine but mo v e the mac hine a w a y from the area of spillag e and a v oid creating any source of ignition until fuel v apors ha v e dissipated.

– R e place all fuel tank and container caps

securely .

• R e place faulty silencers/m ufﬂers .

• Before using, alw a ys visually inspect to see that

the blades , blade bolts and cutter assembly are not w or n or damag ed. R e place w or n or damag ed blades and bolts in sets to preser v e balance .

• On m ulti-bladed mac hines , tak e care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate .

Page 6

Operation

• Be aler t, slo w do wn and use caution when making tur ns . Look behind and to the side before c hanging directions .

• Do not operate the engine in a conﬁned space where dang erous carbon mono xide fumes can collect.

• Mo w only in da ylight or in g ood ar tiﬁcial light.

• Before attempting to star t the engine ,

diseng ag e all blade attac hment clutc hes and shift into neutral.

• R emember there is no suc h thing as a safe slope . T ra v el on g rass slopes requires par ticular care . T o guard ag ainst o v er tur ning:

– do not stop or star t suddenly when on a

slope;

– use slo w speeds on slopes and during tight

tur ns;

– sta y aler t for humps and hollo ws and other

hidden hazards;

• W atc h out for trafﬁc when crossing or near roadw a ys .

• Stop the blades from rotating before crossing surfaces other than g rass .

• W hen using any attac hments , nev er direct disc harg e of material to w ard b ystanders nor allo w any one near the mac hine while in operation.

• Nev er operate the mac hine with damag ed guards , shields , or without safety protecti v e devices in place .

• Do not c hang e the engine g o v er nor settings or o v erspeed the engine . Operating the engine at ex cessi v e speed ma y increase the hazard of personal injur y .

• Before lea ving the operator’ s position:

– diseng ag e the po w er tak e-off and lo w er the

attac hments;

– c hang e into neutral and set the parking

brak e;

– stop the engine and remo v e the k ey .

• Diseng ag e dri v e to attac hments , stop the engine , and remo v e the ignition k ey:

– before clearing bloc kag es or unclog ging

c hute;

– before c hec king, cleaning or w orking on

the la wn mo w er;

– after striking a foreign object. Inspect

the la wn mo w er for damag e and mak e re pairs before restar ting and operating the equipment;

– if the mac hine star ts to vibrate abnor mally

(c hec k immediately).

• Diseng ag e dri v e to attac hments when transpor ting or not in use .

• Stop the engine and diseng ag e dri v e to attac hment before refuelling .

Maintenance and Storage

• K ee p all n uts , bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe w orking condition.

• Nev er store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes ma y reac h an open ﬂame or spark.

• Allo w the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure .

• T o reduce the ﬁre hazard, k ee p the engine , silencer/m ufﬂer , batter y compar tment and fuel storag e area free of g rass , lea v es , or ex cessi v e g rease .

• R e place w or n or damag ed par ts for safety .

• If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this

outdoors .

• On m ulti-bladed mo w ers , tak e care as man ually rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate .

• W hen mac hine is to be park ed, stored or left unattended, lo w er the mo w er dec k.

Toro Riding Mower Safety

T he follo wing list contains safety infor mation speciﬁc to T oro products or other safety infor mation that y ou m ust kno w that is not included in the CEN standard.

• Engine exhaust contains carbon mono xide , whic h is an odorless , deadly poison that can kill y ou. Do not r un engine indoors or in an enclosed area.

• K ee p hands , feet, hair and loose clothing a w a y from attac hment disc harg e area, underside of mo w er and any mo ving par ts while engine is r unning .

• Do not touc h equipment or attac hment par ts whic h ma y be hot from operation. Allo w to

Page 7

cool before attempting to maintain, adjust, or ser vice .

• Batter y acid is poisonous and can cause bur ns . A v oid contact with skin, eyes and clothing . Protect y our face , eyes , and clothing when w orking with a batter y .

• T his mac hine is not designed or equipped for on-road use and is a “slo w-mo ving v ehicle . ” If y ou m ust cross or tra v el on a public road, y ou should be a w are of and comply with local regulations , suc h as required lights , slo w mo ving v ehicle signs , and reﬂectors .

• Batter y g ases can explode . K ee p cig arettes , sparks and ﬂames a w a y from batter y .

• Use only g en uine T oro re placement par ts to ensure that original standards are maintained.

• Use only T oro appro v ed attac hments . W ar ranty ma y be v oided if used with unappro v ed attac hments .

Slope Operation

• Do not mo w near drop-offs , ditc hes , stee p banks or w ater . W heels dropping o v er edg es can cause rollo v ers , whic h ma y result in serious injur y , death, or dro wning .

• Do not mo w slopes when g rass is w et. Slipper y conditions reduce traction and could cause sliding and loss of control.

• Do not mak e sudden tur ns or rapid speed c hang es .

• Use a w alk behind mo w er and/or a hand trimmer near drop-offs , ditc hes , stee p banks or w ater .

• R educe speed and use extreme caution on slopes .

• R emo v e or mark obstacles suc h as roc ks , tree limbs , etc . from the mo wing area. T all g rass can hide obstacles .

• W atc h for ditc hes , holes , roc ks , dips , and rises that c hang e the operating angle , as rough ter rain could o v er tur n the mac hine .

• A v oid sudden star ts when mo wing uphill because the mo w er ma y tip bac kw ards .

• Be a w are that loss of traction ma y occur g oing do wnhill. W eight transfer to the front wheels ma y cause dri v e wheels to slip and cause loss of braking and steering .

• Alw a ys a v oid sudden star ting or stopping on a slope . If tires lose traction, diseng ag e the blades and proceed slo wly off the slope .

• F ollo w the man ufacturer’ s recommendations for wheel w eights or counterw eights to impro v e stability .

• Use extreme care with attac hments . T hese can c hang e the stability of the mac hine and cause loss of control.

Using the Rollover Protection System (ROPS)

• K ee p the roll bar in the raised and loc k ed position and use the seat belt when operating the mac hine .

• Be cer tain that the seat belt can be released quic kly in the ev ent of an emerg ency .

• Be a w are there is no rollo v er protection when the roll bar is do wn.

• Chec k the area to be mo w ed and nev er fold the R OPS in areas where there are slopes , drop offs or w ater .

• Lo w er the rollbar only when absolutely necessar y . Do not w ear the seat belt with

the r oll bar f olded do wn.

• Chec k carefully for o v erhead clearances (i.e .

branc hes , doorw a ys , electrical wires) before dri ving under any objects and do not contact them.

Adding Fuel

T he engine r uns on clean, fresh diesel fuel with a minim um octane rating of 40. Purc hase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 da ys to ensure fuel freshness .

Combined tank capacity: 11.5 US g allons (43.5 l)

Use summer g rade diesel fuel (No . 2-D) at temperatures abo v e 20° F (-7° C) and winter g rade diesel fuel (No . 1-D or No . 1-D/2-D blend) belo w 20° F (-7° C). Use of winter g rade diesel fuel at lo w er temperatures pro vides lo w er ﬂash point and pour point c haracteristics , therefore easing star tability and lessening c hances of c hemical se paration of the fuel due to lo w er temperatures (w ax appearance , whic h ma y plug ﬁlters).

Use of summer g rade diesel fuel abo v e 20° F (-7° C) will contribute to w ard long er life of the pump components .

Important: Do not use k er osene or gasoline instead of diesel fuel. F ailur e to obser v e this caution will dama ge the engine.

Fuel is har mful or f atal if s w allo w ed. Long-ter m exposur e to v apor s can cause serious injur y and illness.

• A v oid pr olonged br eathing of v apor s.

• K eep f ace a w ay fr om nozzle and gas tank or conditioner opening .

• K eep fuel a w ay fr om ey es and skin.

In cer tain conditions, fuel is extr emel y ﬂamma ble and highl y explosi v e. A ﬁr e or explosion fr om fuel can bur n y ou and other s and can dama ge pr oper ty .

• Fill the fuel tank outdoor s, in an open ar ea, when the engine is cold. W ipe up an y fuel that spills.

• Nev er ﬁll the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer .

• Nev er smok e when handling fuel, and stay a w ay fr om an open ﬂame or wher e fuel fumes may be ignited by a spar k.

• Stor e fuel in an appr o v ed container and k eep it out of the r each of childr en. Nev er buy mor e than a 30-day suppl y of fuel.

• Do not operate without entir e exhaust system in place and in pr oper w or king condition.

Page 26

In cer tain conditions during fueling , static electricity can be r eleased causing a spar k which can ignite the fuel v apor s. A ﬁr e or explosion fr om fuel can bur n y ou and other s and can dama ge pr oper ty .

• Al w ays place fuel container s on the g r ound a w ay fr om y our v ehicle bef or e ﬁlling .

• Do not ﬁll fuel container s inside a v ehicle or on a tr uck or trailer bed because interior car pets or plastic tr uck bed liner s may insulate the container and slo w the loss of an y static charge.

• W hen practical, r emo v e equipment fr om the tr uck or trailer and r efuel the equipment with its wheels on the g r ound.

• If this is not possible, then r efuel such equipment on a tr uck or trailer fr om a por ta ble container , rather than fr om a fuel dispenser nozzle.

• If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, k eep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Filling the Fuel Tank

1. P ark the mac hine on a lev el surface .

Important: T he fuel tanks ar e connected, but the fuel does not transfer quickl y fr om one tank to the other . It is impor tant when ﬁlling that y ou par k on a lev el surf ace. If y ou par k on a hill, y ou may inadv er tentl y o v erﬁll the tanks.

2. Shut the engine off and set the parking brak e .

3. Clean around eac h fuel tank cap and remo v e the cap .

Important: Do not open the fuel tanks when par k ed on a hill. T he fuel could spill out.

4. Add fuel to both fuel tanks , until the lev el is ev en with the bottom of the ﬁller nec k ( Figure 10 ). Do not o v er ﬁll the fuel tanks.

The Safety Interlock System

If the safety inter lock s witches ar e disconnected or dama ged the machine could operate unexpectedl y causing per sonal injur y .

• Do not tamper with the inter lock s witches.

• Check the operation of the inter lock s witches dail y and r eplace an y dama ged s witches bef or e operating the machine.

Understanding the Safety Interlock System

T he safety interloc k system is designed to prev ent the engine from star ting unless:

• Y ou are sitting on the seat or the parking brak e is eng ag ed.

• T he po w er tak e off (PTO) is diseng ag ed.

• T he motion control lev ers are in the neutral

loc k ed position

• T he engine temperature is belo w the maxim um operating temperature .

T he safety interloc k system also is designed to stop the engine when the traction controls are mo v ed from the neutral loc k ed position with the parking brak e eng ag ed. If y ou rise from the seat when the PTO is eng ag ed there is a 1 second dela y and then the engine stops .

Testing the Safety Interlock System

T est the safety interloc k system before y ou use the mac hine eac h time . If the safety system does not operate as described belo w , ha v e an A uthorized Ser vice Dealer re pair the safety system immediately .

1. Sitting on the seat, eng ag e the parking brak e and mo v e the PTO to on. T r y star ting the engine; the engine should not crank.

2. Sitting on the seat, eng ag e the parking brak e and mo v e the PTO to off . Mo v e either motion control lev er (out of neutral loc k ed position). T r y star ting the engine; the engine should not crank. R e peat for other control lev er .

3. Sitting on the seat, eng ag e the parking brak e , mo v e the PTO switc h to off and mo v e the motion control lev ers to the neutral loc k ed position. No w star t the engine . W hile the engine is r unning, release the parking brak e , eng ag e the PTO and rise slightly from the seat; the engine should stop within 2 seconds .

4. Without an operator on the seat, eng ag e the parking brak e , mo v e the PTO switc h to off and mo v e the motion control lev ers to the neutral loc k ed position. No w star t the engine . W hile the engine is r unning, center either motion control; the engine should stop within 2 seconds . R e peat for the other motion control.

5. Without an operator on the seat, diseng ag e the parking brak e , mo v e the PTO switc h to off , and mo v e the motion control lev ers to the neutral loc k ed position. T r y star ting the engine; the engine should not crank.

Note: Do not o v er tighten the b y-pass v alv es .

T he mac hine will not dri v e unless b y-pass v alv es are tur ned in.

Loading Machines

Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or tr uc ks . One full width ramp that is wide enough to extend bey ond the rear tires is recommended instead of indi vidual ramps for eac h side of the unit ( Figure 36 ). T he lo w er rear section of the tractor frame extends bac k betw een the rear wheels and ser v es as a stop for tipping bac kw ard. Ha ving a full width ramp pro vides a surface for the frame members to contact if the unit star ts to tip bac kw ard. If it is not possible to use one full width ramp , use enough indi vidual ramps to sim ulate a full width contin uous ramp .

T he ramp should be long enough so that the angles do not ex ceed 15 deg rees ( Figure 36 ). A stee per angle ma y cause mo w er components to g et caught as the unit mo v es from ramp to trailer or tr uc k. Stee per angles ma y also cause the unit to tip

bac kw ard. If loading on or near a slope , position the trailer or tr uc k so it is on the do wn side of the slope and the ramp extends up the slope . T his will minimize the ramp angle . T he trailer or tr uc k should be as lev el as possible .

Important: Do not attempt to tur n the unit while on the ramp; y ou may lose contr ol and dri v e of f the side.

A v oid sudden acceleration when dri ving up a ramp and sudden deceleration when bac king do wn a ramp . Both maneuv ers can cause the unit to tip bac kw ard.

Loading a unit onto a trailer or tr uck incr eases the possibility of backw ard tip-o v er and could cause serious injur y or death.

• Use extr eme caution when operating a unit on a ramp .

• Use onl y a sing le, full width ramp; Do not use indi vidual ramps f or each side of the unit.

• If indi vidual ramps must be used, use enough ramps to cr eate an unbr ok en ramp surf ace wider than the unit.

• Do not ex ceed a 15 deg r ee ang le betw een ramp and g r ound or betw een ramp and trailer or tr uck.

• A v oid sudden acceleration while dri ving unit up a ramp to a v oid tipping backw ard.

• A v oid sudden deceleration while backing unit do wn a ramp to a v oid tipping backw ard.

Transporting Machines

Dri ving on the str eet or r oad w ay without tur n signals, lights, r eﬂecti v e mar kings, or a slo w mo ving v ehicle emblem is danger ous and can lead to accidents causing per sonal injur y .

Do not dri v e machine on a public str eet or r oad w ay without signs, lights, and/or mar kings r equir ed by local r egulations.

Use a hea vy-duty trailer or tr uc k to transpor t the mac hine . Ensure that the trailer or tr uc k has all necessar y lighting and marking as required b y la w . Please carefully read all the safety instr uctions . Kno wing this infor mation could help y ou or b ystanders a v oid injur y .

T o transpor t the mac hine:

• Ensure that y our v ehicle , hitc h, safety c hains , and trailer are adequate for the load y ou are pulling and that they meet all local trafﬁc regulations for y our area.

• Loc k the brak e and bloc k the wheels .

• Securely fasten the mac hine to the trailer or

Operating Tips

Fast Throttle Setting/Ground Speed

T o maintain enough po w er for the mac hine and dec k while mo wing, operate the engine at the fast throttle position and adjust y our g round speed for conditions . A g ood r ule to follo w is: decrease g round speed as the load on the cutting blades increases; and increase g round speed as load on the blades decreases .

Mowing Direction

Alter nate mo wing direction to a v oid making r uts in the turf o v er time . T his also helps disperse clippings whic h enhances decomposition and fer tilization.

Cutting Speed

T o impro v e cut quality , use a slo w er g round speed in cer tain conditions .

Page 40

Avoid Cutting Too Low

If the cutting width of the mo w er is wider than the mo w er y ou previously used, raise the cutting height to ensure that unev en turf is not cut too shor t.

Long Grass

If the g rass is ev er allo w ed to g ro w slightly long er than nor mal, or if it contains a high deg ree of moisture , raise the cutting height higher than usual and cut the g rass at this setting . T hen cut the g rass ag ain using the lo w er , nor mal setting .

Keep the Underside of the Mower Clean

Clean clippings and dir t from the underside of the mo w er after eac h use . If g rass and dir t build up inside the mo w er , cutting quality will ev entually become unsatisfactor y .

Blade Maintenance

Maintain a shar p blade throughout the cutting season because a shar p blade cuts cleanly without tearing or shredding the g rass blades . T earing and shredding tur ns g rass bro wn at the edg es , whic h slo ws g ro wth and increases the c hance of disease . Chec k the blades daily for shar pness , and for any w ear or damag e . Shar pen the blades as necessar y . If a blade is damag ed or w or n, re place it immediately with a g en uine T oro re placement blade . R efer to Ser vicing the Cutting Blades in Mo w er Dec k Maintenance , pag e 62 for more infor mation or identifying blade problems and shar pening the blades .
