Important: If you install the Universal Sunshade on a Reelmaster 3100 traction unit or a Groundsmaster 3500/3505 traction unit, install the Wheel Weight Kit. Contact your authorized Toro distributor for the correct Wheel Weight Kit.
Review and understand the contents of the Installation Instructions before installing the sunshade.
Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place. If a shield, safety device or decal is defective, illegible, or damaged, repair or replace it before operating the machine.
Do not weld, cut, drill, modify, or remove the roll bar in any manner.
Tighten any loose nuts, bolts, or screws to ensure that the machine is in safe operating condition.
Use extreme care when working close to fences, ditches, or on hillsides.
Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e., branches, doorways, electrical wires) before driving under any objects and do not contact them.
Tie down the sunshade frame when transporting the machine.
Wear hearing protection when operating any machine with a sunshade.
Before servicing or making adjustments, lower the implement, shut off the engine, engage the parking brake, and remove the key.
Make sure that the machine is in safe operating condition by keeping all nuts, bolts, and screws tight.
When working on the sunshade installation, wear eye protection.
Replace a damaged sunshade. Do not repair or revise.
When installing the sunshade or performing service, use correct supports, hoists, and jacks. If the sunshade is not properly supported, it may move or fall, which may result in personal injury.
To ensure optimum performance and safety, always purchase genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by other manufacturers could be dangerous. Such use could void the product warranty of The Toro Company.
 |
Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or missing. |
Safety and instruction decals are affixed to your sunshade. If any decal becomes illegible or damaged, install a new decal.
Park the machine on a level surface.
Lower the cutting units and engage the parking brake.
Shut off the engine and remove the key.
Note: Not every machine uses the same parts to install the kit.
