Safety And Instructional Decals - Toro 31223 Operator's Manual

comply with local regulations, such as required lights,
slow moving vehicle signs, and reflectors.
•
Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks and
flames away from battery.
•
Use only genuine Toro replacement parts to ensure that
original standards are maintained.
•
Use only Toro approved attachments. Warranty may be
voided if used with unapproved attachments.
Slope Operation
•
Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks or
water. Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers,
which may result in serious injury, death, or drowning.
•
Do not operate on slopes when grass is wet. Slippery
conditions reduce traction and could cause sliding and
loss of control.
•
Do not make sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
•
Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
•
Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
from the operating area. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•
Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that change
the operating angle, as rough terrain could overturn the
machine.
•
Avoid sudden starts when operating uphill because the
machine may tip backwards.

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 lost.

•
Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope. If
tires lose traction, disengage the attachment and proceed
slowly off the slope.
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
•
Use extreme care with all attachments. These can change
the stability of the machine and cause loss of control.
Using the Rollover Protection System
(ROPS)
•
Keep the roll bar in the raised and locked position and
use the seat belt when operating the machine.
•
Be certain that the seat belt can be released quickly in
the event of an emergency.
•
Be aware there is no rollover protection when the roll
bar is down.
•
Check the area of operation and never fold the ROPS in
areas where there are slopes, drop offs or water.
•
Lower the rollbar only when absolutely necessary. Do
not wear the seat belt with the roll bar folded down.
•
Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e. branches,
doorways, electrical wires) before driving under any
objects and do not contact them.
