Improperly using or maintaining this mower
can result in injury. To reduce the potential for
injury, comply with these safety instructions.
Toro designed and tested this mower for
reasonably safe service; however, failure to comply
with the following instructions may result in
personal injury.
To ensure maximum safety, best performance,
and to gain knowledge of the product, it is
essential that you and any other operator
of the mower read and understand the
contents of this manual before the engine is
ever started. Pay particular attention to the
safety alert symbol (Figure 2) which means
Caution, Warning, or Danger—“personal
safety instruction.” Read and understand the
instruction because it has to do with safety.
Failure to comply with the instruction may
result in personal injury.
General Lawn Mower Safety
The following instructions have been adapted
from the ISO standard 5395.
This cutting machine is capable of amputating
hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to
observe the following safety instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
Training
•
Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar
with the controls and the proper use of the
equipment.
•
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the mower. Local
regulations can restrict the age of the operator.
•
Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring
to other people or their property.
•
Understand explanations for all pictograms
used on the mower or in the instructions.
Gasoline
WARNING-Gasoline 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 ad gasoline
while the engine is running or when the engine
is hot.
•
If gasoline is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the mower away from the area
of spillage and avoid creating any source of
ignition until gasoline vapors have dissipated.
•
Replace all fuel tank and container caps
securely.
Preparation
•
While mowing, always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers. 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 stones,
sticks, wires, bones and other foreign objects.
•
Before using, always visually inspect to see that
guards, and safety devices, such as deflectors
and/or grass catchers, are in place and working
correctly.
•
Before using, always visually inspect to see that
the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly
are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or
damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve
balance.
Starting
•
Disengage all blade and drive clutches and shift
into neutral before starting the engine.
•
Do not tilt mower when starting the engine or
switching on the motor, unless the mower has
to be tilted for starting. In this case, do not tilt
it more than absolutely necessary and lift only
the part, which is away from the operator.
•
Start the engine or switch on the motor
carefully according to instructions and with
feet well away from the blade(s) and not in
front of the discharge chute.
Operation
•
Never mow while people, especially children,
or pets are nearby.
•
Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
