Toro Groundsmaster 4100-D Service Manual page 9

While Operating
1. Sit on the seat when starting and operating the ma-
chine.
2. Before starting the engine:
A. Apply the parking brake.
B. Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and the
PTO switch is OFF (disengaged).
C. After engine is started, release parking brake and
keep foot off traction pedal. Machine must not move.
If movement is evident, the traction pedal linkage is
adjusted incorrectly; therefore, shut engine off and
adjust linkage until machine does not move when
traction pedal is released.
3. Do not run engine in a confined area without ade-
quate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
4. Do not touch engine, muffler or exhaust pipe while
engine is running or soon after it is stopped. These areas
could be hot enough to cause burns.

5. Before getting off the seat:
A. Ensure that traction pedal is in neutral.
B. Apply parking brake.
C. Disengage cutting deck and wait for blades to
stop.
D. Stop engine and remove key from switch.
E. Toro recommends that anytime the machine is
parked (short or long term), the cutting deck should
be lowered to the ground. This relieves pressure
from the lift circuit and eliminates the risk of the cut-
ting deck unexpectedly lowering to the ground.
F. Do not park on slopes unless wheels are chocked
or blocked.
