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. Preparation • Read and understand the contents of this Operator’s Manual and the Sand Pro Operator’s Manual before operating the machine. Become familiar with all of the controls and know how to stop quickly. A free replacement manual is available by sending the complete Model and Serial Number to The Toro® Company, 8111 Lyndale Avenue South, Bloomington, Minnesota 55420-1196. • 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 ensure that the machine is in safe operating condition. • Do not operate the 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. Operation • Do not run the engine in a confined area without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and could possibly be deadly. • The maximum seating capacity is one person. Never carry passengers. • Sit on the seat when starting the engine and operating the machine. • Using the machine demands attention. 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. 3

Reduce your speed when making sharp turns and

when turning on hillsides. – Avoid sudden starts and stops. – Before backing up, look to the rear and ensure that no one is behind the machine. – Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads. Always yield the right-of-way. • If the engine stalls or the machine loses headway and cannot make it to the top of a slope, do not turn the machine around. Always back slowly straight down the slope. • Do not 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 the area is cleared. • Lightning can cause severe injury or death. If lightning is seen or thunder is heard in the area, do not operate the machine; seek shelter. • Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is running or soon after it is stopped. These areas could be hot enough to cause a burn. Maintenance • Remove the key from the 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 a 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 that the machine is in safe operating condition by keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight. • Make sure that all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system. • Keep your 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. • Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the attachment 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 the governor settings. To be sure of safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro Distributor check the maximum engine speed with a tachometer. • The engine must be shut off before checking the oil or adding oil to the crankcase. • To best protect your investment and maintain optimal performance of your Toro equipment, count on Toro genuine parts. When it comes to reliability, Toro delivers replacement parts designed to the exact engineering specifications of our equipment. For peace of mind, insist on Toro genuine parts. 4
