    During Operation

    During Operation Safety

    General Safety

    • Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if you slip and contact the blade. Avoid mowing in wet conditions.

    • Before you start the machine, ensure that all drives are in neutral.

    • Keep away from holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, and other hidden hazards. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, tall grass or other objects that may hide obstacles or obscure vision. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine or cause you to lose your balance or footing.

    • Shut off the machine and disengage the drive to the cutting unit after striking a foreign object or if an abnormal vibration occurs. Inspect the cutting unit for damage and make repairs before starting and operating the machine.

    • Be alert, slow down, and use caution when making turns and crossing roads and sidewalks with the machine. Always yield the right-of-way.

    • Do not use the machine as a towing vehicle.

    • Never raise the mower deck with the blades running.

    • Be aware of the mower discharge path and direct discharge away from others. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction as the material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blades, slow down, and use caution when crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the mower.

    • Do not leave a running machine unattended.

    • Be alert and shut off the machine if children enter the area.

    Slope Safety

    • Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and rollover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. You are responsible for safe slope operation. Operating the machine on any slope requires extra caution. Before using the machine on a slope, do the following:

      • Review and understand the slope instructions in the manual and on the machine.

      • Use an angle indicator to determine the approximate slope angle of the area.

      • Never operate on slopes greater than 15°.

      • Evaluate the site conditions of the day to determine if the slope is safe for machine operation. Use common sense and good judgment when performing this evaluation. Changes in the terrain, such as moisture, can quickly affect the operation of the machine on a slope.

    • Identify hazards at the base of the slope. Do not operate the machine near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, water, or other hazards. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or the edge collapses. Keep a safe distance (twice the width of the machine) between the machine and any hazard. Use a walk-behind machine or a handheld tool to operate in these areas.

    • Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction; turn slowly and gradually.

    • Do not operate a machine under any conditions where traction, steering or stability is in question. Be aware that operating the machine on wet grass, across slopes or downhill may cause the machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the drive wheels may result in sliding and a loss of braking and steering. The machine can slide even if the drive wheels are stopped.

    • Remove or mark obstacles such as ditches, holes, ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden hazards. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.

    • Use extra care while operating with accessories or attachments. These can change the stability of the machine and cause a loss of control. Follow directions for counterweights.

    • If possible, keep the deck lowered to the ground while operating on slopes. Raising the deck while operating on slopes can cause the machine to become unstable.

    g221745

    Rollover Protection System (ROPS) Safety

    • The ROPS is an integral and effective safety device. Do not remove or alter the ROPS.

    • There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is down.

    • Keep the roll bar in the fully raised and locked position and always wear your seat belt whenever the roll bar is up.

    • Ensure that the seat belt can be released quickly in the event of an emergency.

    • Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary. Do not wear the seat belt when the roll bar is down.

    • Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.

    • Wheels dropping over edges, ditches, steep banks, or water can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury or death.

    • Check carefully for overhead clearances before driving under any objects and do not contact them.

    • In the event of a rollover, take the machine to an Authorized Service Dealer and have the ROPS inspected.

    • Replace damaged ROPS components. Do not repair or alter them.

    • Use only accessories and attachments installed on the ROPS that are approved by Toro.

    To achieve maximum life and use from your batteries, follow these guidelines:

    • Do not open the battery.

    • Store/park the machine in a clean, dry garage or storage area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, rain, and wet conditions. Do not store it in a location where the temperature exceeds the range specified in Battery Storage Requirements. Temperatures outside of this range will damage your batteries. High temperatures during storage, especially at a high state of charge, reduces the life of the batteries.

    • When storing the machine for more than 10 days, ensure that the machine is in a cool and dry location, out of sunlight, rain, and wet conditions.

    • If you are mowing in hot conditions or in strong, direct sunlight, the battery may overheat. If this happens, a high-temperature alert will appear on the InfoCenter, the cutting units will disengage, and the machine will slow down.

      Immediately drive the machine to a cool location out of the sun, turn off the machine, and allow the batteries to cool fully before resuming operation.

    • Maintain the sharpness of the mower blades. A dull blade increases power consumption and reduces the amount of work that the machine performs on each charge.

    • Use lights only when it is necessary.

    Maintaining the Battery Charger

    Important: All electrical repairs should be performed by an Authorized Toro Dealer only.

    The charger requires little maintenance other than protecting it from damage and weather.

    • Clean the battery-charger cords and case with a slightly damp cloth after each use.

      Note: Do not clean the dielectric grease from the terminals.

    • Coil the cords when not in use.

    • Periodically examine the cords for damage, and replace them when necessary with Toro-approved parts.
