Before Operation

Before Operation Safety

General Safety

Never allow children or untrained people to operate or service the machine. Local regulations may restrict the age or require certified training of the operator. The owner is responsible for training all operators and mechanics.
Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls, and safety decals.
Always engage the parking brake (if equipped), shut off the engine, remove the key, wait for all moving parts to stop, and allow the machine to cool before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing the machine.
Know how to stop the machine and shut off the engine quickly.
Check that the safety switches, and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do not operate the machine unless they are functioning properly.
Locate the pinch-point areas marked on the machine and attachments; keep your hands and feet away from these areas.
Before operating the machine with an attachment, ensure that the attachment is properly installed. Read all the attachment manuals.
Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and attachments you need to properly and safely perform the job.
Have the property or work area marked for buried lines and other objects, and do not dig in marked areas; note the location of unmarked objects and structures, such as underground storage tanks, wells, and septic systems.
Inspect the area where you will use the equipment for uneven surfaces and hidden hazards.
Ensure that the area is clear of bystanders before operating the machine. Stop the machine if a bystander enters the area.

Fuel Safety

Use extra care when handling fuel. It is flammable and its vapors are explosive.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.
Use only an approved fuel container.
Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.
Do not add or drain fuel in an enclosed space.
Do not store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water heater or other appliance.
If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine; avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel vapors have dissipated.
Do not fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground, away from your vehicle before filling.
Remove the equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it while it is on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel from a portable container rather than a fuel-dispenser nozzle.
Keep the fuel-dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

Adding Fuel

Recommended Fuel

Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The minimum cetane rating should be 45. A cetane rating greater than 50 is preferred, especially at temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or at elevations above 1500 m (5000 ft). Purchase fuel in quantities that you can use within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness.

Using non-ultra low sulfur fuel will damage the engine emissions system.

Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D or No. 2-D S15) at temperatures above -10°C (14°F) and winter grade (No. 1-D or No. 1-D S15) below that temperature. Using winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics, which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.

Using summer-grade fuel above -10°C (14°F) contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased power compared to winter-grade fuel.

Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage the engine.

Biodiesel Ready

This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up to B5 (5% biodiesel, 95% petrodiesel). The petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra low sulfur. Observe the following precautions:

The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.
The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM D975 or EN590.
Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.
Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold weather.
Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as they may degrade over time.
Fuel filter plugging may occur for a time after converting to biodiesel blends.
Contact your distributor for more information on biodiesel.

Filling the Fuel Tanks

Fuel tank capacity: 35 L (9.3 US gallons) per tank

Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and lower the loader arms.
Shut off the engine and remove the key.
Remove the fuel cap.
Fill the tank with fuel up to the filler neck.
Install the cap.

Figure 27

Fuel tank caps

Performing Daily Maintenance

Before starting the machine each day, perform the Each Use/Daily procedures listed in the .

Important: Check the hydraulic-fluid level and bleed the fuel system before starting the engine for the first time; refer to Checking the Hydraulic-Fluid Level and Bleeding the Fuel System.

During Operation

During Operation Safety

General Safety

Do not transport an attachment/load with the arms raised or extended; always transport the attachments/load close to the ground, with the loader arms retracted.
Do not exceed the rated operating capacity, as the machine may become unstable, which may result in loss of control. The operating capacity is reduced if you extend the loader arms to the point where you can see the striped decal inside the arms.
Attachments can change the stability and the operating characteristics of the machine.
For machines with a platform:
- Lower the loader arms before stepping off the platform.
- Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground. If you lose control of the machine, step off the platform and away from the machine.
- Do not place your feet under the platform.
- Do not move the machine unless you are standing with both feet on the platform and your hands are holding onto the reference bars or the loader control.
Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur.
Look behind and down before backing up to ensure that the path is clear.
Never jerk the controls; use a steady motion.
The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for accidents that may cause personal injury or property damage.
Wear appropriate clothing including eye protection, long pants, substantial slip-resistant footwear, and hearing protection; also wear a respirator or dust mask in dusty conditions. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose jewelry.
Do not operate the machine when you are tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Never carry passengers and keep pets and bystanders away from the machine.
Operate the machine only in good light, keeping away from holes and hidden hazards.
Ensure that all the drives are in neutral before starting the engine. Start the engine only from the operator's position on the platform.
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
Slow down and use caution when making turns and crossing roads and sidewalks. Watch for traffic.
Stop the attachment when you are not working.
Stop the machine, turn off the engine, remove the key, and inspect the machine if you strike an object. Make any necessary repairs before resuming operation.
Never run an engine in an enclosed area.
Never leave a running machine unattended.
Before leaving the operating position, do the following:
- Park the machine on a level surface.
- Lower the loader arms and disengage the auxiliary hydraulics.
- Engage the parking brake.
- Shut off the engine and remove the key.
Do not operate the machine when there is the risk of lightning.
Operate the machine only in areas where there is sufficient clearance for you to safely maneuver. Be aware of obstacles in close proximity to you. Failure to maintain adequate distance from trees, walls, and other barriers may result in injury as the machine backs up during operation if you are not attentive to the surroundings.
Check for overhead clearance (i.e., electrical wires, branches, and doorways) before driving under any objects and do not contact them.
Do not overfill the attachment and always keep the load level when raising the loader arms. Items in the attachment could fall and cause injury.

Slope Safety

Operate the machine up and down slopes with the heavy end of the machine uphill. Weight distribution changes with attachments. An empty load-bearing attachment makes the rear of the machine the heavy end, and a full load-bearing attachment makes the front of the machine the heavy end. Most other attachments make the front of machine the heavy end.
Raising or extending the loader arms on a slope affects the stability of the machine. Keep the loader arms in the lowered and retracted position when on slopes.
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operating the machine on any slope or uneven terrain requires extra caution.
Establish your own procedures and rules for operating on slopes. These procedures must include surveying the site to determine which slopes are safe for machine operation. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this survey.
Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Ground conditions can affect the stability of the machine.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the machine loses traction, proceed slowly, straight down the slope.
Avoid turning on slopes. If you must turn, turn slowly and keep the heavy end of the machine uphill.
Keep all movements on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
If you feel uneasy operating the machine on a slope, do not do it.
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps, as uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Use caution when operating on wet surfaces. Reduced traction could cause sliding.
Evaluate the area to ensure that the ground is stable enough to support the machine.
Use caution when operating the machine near the following:
- Drop-offs
- Ditches
- Embankments
- Bodies of water
The machine could suddenly roll over if a track goes over the edge or the edge caves in. Maintain a safe distance between the machine and any hazard.
Do not remove or add attachments on a slope.
Do not park the machine on a hillside or slope.

Utility Line Safety

If you strike a utility line, do the following:
- Shut off the machine and remove the key.
- Remove all individuals from the work area.
- Immediately contact the proper emergency and utility authorities to secure the area.
- If you damage a fiber-optic cable, do not look into the exposed light.
Do not leave the operator’s platform if the machine is charged with electricity. You will be safe as long as you do not leave the platform.
- Touching any part of the machine may ground you.
- Do not allow another individual to touch or approach the machine when charged.
- Always assume the machine is charged if you strike an electrical or communication line. Do not attempt to leave the machine.
Leaking gas is both flammable and explosive and may cause serious injury or death. Do not smoke while operating the machine.

Starting the Engine

Ensure that the battery-disconnect switch is in the ON position; refer to Using the Battery-Disconnect Switch.
Ensure that the traction-control is in the NEUTRAL position.
Insert the key into the key switch and turn it to the ON position.
Turn the key to the START position. When the engines starts, release the key.

Important: Do not engage the starter for more than 10 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start, wait 30 seconds for the starter to cool down between attempts. Failure to follow these instructions could burn out the starter motor.

Important: Running the engine at high speeds when the hydraulic system is cold (i.e., when the air temperature is at or below freezing) could damage the hydraulic system. When starting the engine in cold conditions, allow it to run at mid-throttle for 2 to 5 minutes before increasing it to high throttle.

Note: If the outdoor temperature is below freezing, store the machine in a garage to keep it warmer and to aid in starting.

Driving the Machine

Use the traction controls to move the machine. The farther you move the traction controls in any direction, the faster the machine moves in that direction. Release the traction controls to stop the machine.

The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Run the engine at high throttle for best performance. You can, however, use the transport speed control in the InfoCenter to operate the machine at lower speeds and retain full engine speed; refer to Setting the Maximum Transport Speed.

Shutting Off the Engine

Park the machine on a level surface and lower the loader arms.
Disengage the auxiliary hydraulics.
Set the throttle to low idle.
If the engine has been working hard or is hot, let it idle for 5 minutes before turning the key switch to the OFF position.

Note: This helps to cool the engine before you shut it off. In an emergency, you can shut off the engine immediately.
Turn the key switch to the OFF position and remove the key.

Caution

A child or untrained bystander could attempt to operate the traction unit and be injured.

Remove the key from the key switch when leaving the traction unit, even if just for a few seconds.

Using Attachments

This is a multipurpose machine intended for use in various activities. It is designed to operate safely with a variety of Toro-manufactured attachments, each of which performs a specialized function. Toro accepts no liability for machine damage or personal injury that results from the use of other manufacturers attachments. The user accepts the burden of these risks.

Read the attachment Operator’s Manual before you use the attachment.

Important: Attachments can change the stability and the operating characteristics of the machine.

Installing an Attachment

Important: Before installing the attachment, ensure that the mount plates are free of any dirt or debris and that the pins rotate freely. If the pins do not rotate freely, grease them.

Position the attachment on a level surface with enough space behind it to accommodate the machine.
Rotate the quick-attach levers outward to raise the quick-attach pins (Figure 28).

Warning

If you do not fully seat the quick-attach pins through the attachment mount plate, the attachment could fall off the machine, crushing you or bystanders.

Ensure that the quick-attach pins are fully seated in the attachment mount plate.

Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses

Warning

Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury; otherwise, gangrene may result.

Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic fluid.
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks; never use your hands.

Caution

Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves, and hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact hot components, you may be burned.

Wear gloves when operating the hydraulic couplers.
Allow the machine to cool before touching hydraulic components.
Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.

If the attachment requires hydraulics for operation, connect the hydraulic hoses as follows:

Shut off the engine and remove the key.
Remove the protective covers from the hydraulic connectors on the machine.
Ensure that all foreign matter is cleaned from the hydraulic connectors.
Push the attachment female connector onto the male connector on the machine.
Push the attachment male connector into the female connector on the machine.
Confirm that the connection is secure by pulling on the hoses.

Removing an Attachment

Park the machine on a level surface.
Lower the attachment to the ground.
Shut off the engine and remove the key.
Raise the quick-attach pins by rotating the levers outward.
If the attachment uses hydraulics, slide the collars back on the hydraulic couplers and disconnect them.

Important: Connect the attachment hoses together to prevent hydraulic system contamination during storage.
Caution
Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves, and hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact hot components, you may be burned.
- Wear gloves when operating the hydraulic couplers.
- Allow the machine to cool before touching hydraulic components.
- Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
Install the protective covers onto the hydraulic couplers on the machine.
Start the engine, tilt the mount plate forward, and back the machine away from the attachment.

Understanding Smart Power® Traction

The Smart Power® function senses the load on the engine and adjusts the maximum traction speed while maintaining the engine speed so that you can optimize performance in powered attachments. For example, when using the trencher attachment, Smart Power reduces the traction speed so that you have maximum, continuous power while digging.

Engage the attachment hydraulics and slowly move the traction control to activate Smart Power.

Note: To use this function, ensure that Smart Power is set to ON in the Settings section of the InfoCenter; refer to InfoCenter Display. For some applications, such as digging and grading, the machine may perform better with Smart Power set to OFF.

Understanding the Smart Load System

When you raise the loader arms above a certain level (slightly above parallel to the ground), the Smart Load system will automatically reduce the maximum traction speed to 50%. The engine speed will remain the same.

Note: If the maximum traction speed is already set 50% or below in the InfoCenter, the traction speed will not automatically change.

For telescoping machines:

The Smart Load system also measures the hydraulic pressure in the loader arm cylinders to determine the maximum reach.

When you extend the loader arms to the maximum reach for the arm height and load weight, the InfoCenter will display the Smart Load icon (Figure 30) and flash the indicator light, an alarm will beep, and the arms will stop extending.

To extend the loader arms further, lighten the load.

Figure 30

After Operation

After Operation Safety
