Safety

General Safety

Warning

There may be buried utility lines in the work area. Digging into them could cause a shock or an explosion, resulting in death or serious injury.

Have the property or work area marked for buried lines and do not dig in marked areas. Contact your local marking service or utility company to have the property marked (for example, in the US, call 811 or in Australia, call 1100 for the nationwide marking service).

Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious injury or death.

  • Do not exceed the rated operating capacity, as the machine may become unstable, which may result in loss of control.

  • Do not carry a load with the arms raised; always carry loads close to the ground.

  • 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.

  • Operate the machine up and down slopes with the heavy end of the machine uphill and the load close to the ground. Weight distribution changes with attachments. An empty bucket makes the rear of the machine the heavy end, and a full bucket makes the front of the machine the heavy end. Most other attachments make the front of the machine the heavy end.

  • Have the property or work area marked for buried lines and other objects, and do not dig in marked areas.

  • Read and understand the content of this Operator’s Manual before starting the engine.

  • Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur.

  • Never allow children or untrained people to operate the machine.

  • Keep your hands and feet away from the moving components and attachments.

  • Do not operate the machine without the guards and other safety protective devices in place and working on the machine.

  • Keep bystanders and children out of the operating area.

  • Stop the machine, shut off the engine, and remove the key before servicing, fueling, or unclogging the machine.

Improperly using or maintaining this machine can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply with these safety instructions and always pay attention to the safety-alert symbol Graphic, which means Caution, Warning, or Danger—personal safety instruction. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in personal injury or death.

Slope Safety

  • Operate the machine up and down slopes with the heavy end of the machine uphill. Weight distribution changes with attachments. An empty bucket makes the rear of the machine the heavy end, and a full bucket makes the front of the machine the heavy end. Most other attachments make the front of machine the heavy end.

  • Raising the loader arms on a slope affects the stability of the machine. Keep the loader arms in the lowered 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.

Operation

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 operator's presence controls, 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 and that it is a genuine Toro attachment. 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 or hidden hazards.

  • Ensure that the area is clear of bystanders before operating the machine. Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.

Fuel Safety

  • Use extreme 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.

  • To prevent a static charge from igniting the fuel, remove the machine from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground, away from all vehicles. If this is not possible, place a portable fuel container on the ground, away from all vehicles, and fill it; then refuel the machine from the fuel container rather than from 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 low (<500 ppm) or ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The minimum cetane rating should be 40. Purchase fuel in quantities that you can use within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness.

Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter grade (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) 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 -7°C (20°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 B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% 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 Tank

Fuel tank capacity: 38.8 L (10.25 US gallons)

  1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and lower the loader arms.

  2. Shut off the engine and remove the key.

  3. Raise the bracket.

  • 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 gloves, eye protection, long pants, substantial slip-resistant footwear, and hearing protection. 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 and engage the parking brake (if equipped) before starting the engine. Start the engine only from the operator's position.

  • 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, shut 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.

    • Lower the loader arms and disengage the auxiliary hydraulics.

    • Engage the parking brake (if equipped).

    • 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 bucket makes the rear of the machine the heavy end, and a full bucket makes the front of the machine the heavy end. Most other attachments make the front of machine the heavy end.

  • Raising the loader arms on a slope affects the stability of the machine. Keep the loader arms in the lowered 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.

Starting the Engine

  1. Ensure that the battery-disconnect switch is in the ON position.

  2. Insert the key into the key switch and turn it to the ON position.

  3. 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.

  4. Enable the traction control by toggling the traction-enable switch before driving the machine.

Starting the Engine in Cold Weather

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

The machine software may automatically limit the engine rpm and disable the auxiliary hydraulics if the coolant is extremely cold. After starting the engine, wait until the cold-start icon and cold hydraulic fluid warning disappear from the Infocenter before increasing the throttle and engaging the auxiliary hydraulics.

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. The machine will automatically disable the high engine idle and auxiliary hydraulic system as needed.

Driving the Machine

Note: Enable the traction control by toggling the traction-enable switch before driving the machine.

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

The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Increase the engine throttle to HIGH IDLE for best performance. You can, however, use the decrease the throttle to operate at slower speeds.

Adjusting the Maximum Traction Speed

You can adjust the maximum traction speed of the machine so that the full forward position of the traction control does not exceed a preset speed, adjusted in 10% increments (between 20% and 100%) of the machine’s top speed. A supervisor can restrict the maximum speed range for operators via the Protected Menus; refer to Accessing Protected Menus.

  1. On the Traction Run Screen, use the left and center buttons to adjust the maximum speed.

    Note: Note: If a supervisor restricts the maximum speed range, you cannot select the restricted speeds.

    g518671

    Figure 19

  2. Press the right button to save the setting.

    Note: The machine saves this setting until the next key cycle, after which the maximum traction speed resets to full speed or the maximum speed that the supervisor set.

Shutting Off the Engine

  1. Park the machine on a level surface and lower the loader arms.

  2. Disengage the auxiliary hydraulics.

  3. Set the throttle to low idle.

  4. 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.

  5. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and remove the key.

Warning

A child or untrained bystander attempting to operate the traction unit could result in death or serious injury.

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