Safe Operation Practicesfor Ride-on (riding) RotaryLawnmower Machines

T his mac hine meets or ex ceeds European

Standards in effect at the time of production.

Ho w ev er , improper use or maintenance b y the

operator or o wner can result in injur y . T o reduce

the potential for injur y , comply with these safety

instr uctions and alw a ys pa y attention to the

safety aler t symbol, whic h means CA UTION ,

W ARNING , or D ANGER -“personal safety

instr uction. ” F ailure to comply with the instr uction

ma y result in personal injur y or death.

Safe Operating Practices

T he follo wing instr uctions are from the CEN

standard EN 836:1997.

T his product is capable of amputating hands and

feet and thro wing objects . Alw a ys follo w all safety

instr uctions to a v oid serious injur y or death.

Training

•R ead the instr uctions carefully . Be familiar

with the controls and the proper use of the

equipment.

•Nev er allo w c hildren or people unfamiliar with

these instr uctions to use the la wnmo w er . Local

regulations can restrict the ag e of the operator .

•Nev er mo w while people , especially c hildren,

or pets are nearb y .

•K ee p in mind that the operator or user is

responsible for accidents or hazards occur ring

to other people or their proper ty .

•Do not car r y passeng ers .

•All dri v ers should seek and obtain professional

and practical instr uction. Suc h instr uction

should emphasize:

– the need for care and concentration when

w orking with ride-on mac hines;

– control of a ride-on mac hine sliding on a

slope will not be reg ained b y the application

of the brak e . T he main reasons for loss of

control are:

◊ insufﬁcient wheel g rip;

◊ being dri v en too fast;

◊ inadequate braking;

◊ the type of mac hine is unsuitable for its

task;

◊ lac k of a w areness of the effect of

g round conditions , especially slopes;

◊ incor rect hitc hing and load distribution.

Preparation

•W hile mo wing, alw a ys w ear substantial

footw ear and long trousers . Do not operate

the equipment when barefoot or w earing open

sandals .

•T horoughly inspect the area where the

equipment is to be used and remo v e all objects

whic h ma y be thro wn b y the mac hine .

•W ar ning-Fuel is highly ﬂammable .

– Store fuel in containers speciﬁcally designed

for this pur pose .

– R efuel outdoors only and do not smok e

while refuelling .

– Add fuel before star ting the engine . Nev er

remo v e the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel

while the engine is r unning or when the

engine is hot.

– If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to star t the

engine but mo v e the mac hine a w a y from

the area of spillag e and a v oid creating any

source of ignition until fuel v apors ha v e

dissipated.

– R e place all fuel tanks and container caps

securely .

•R e place faulty silencers .

•Before using, alw a ys visually inspect to see that

the blades , blade bolts and cutter assembly

are not w or n or damag ed. R e place w or n or

damag ed blades and bolts in sets to preser v e

balance .

•On m ulti-bladed mac hines , tak e care as rotating

one blade can cause other blades to rotate .

Operation

•Be aler t, slo w do wn and use caution when

making tur ns . Look behind and to the side

before c hanging directions .

•Do not operate the engine in a conﬁned space

where dang erous carbon mono xide fumes can

collect.

•Mo w only in da ylight or in g ood ar tiﬁcial light.

•Before attempting to star t the engine ,

diseng ag e all blade attac hment clutc hes and

shift into neutral.

•Do not use on slopes of more than 15 deg rees .

•R emember there is no suc h thing as a safe

slope . T ra v el on g rass slopes requires par ticular

care . T o guard ag ainst o v er tur ning:

– do not stop or star t suddenly when g oing

up or do wnhill;

– use lo w speeds on slopes and during tight

tur ns;

– sta y aler t for humps and hollo ws and other

hidden hazards;

•Use care when pulling loads .

– Use only appro v ed dra wbar hitc h points .

– Limit loads to those y ou can safely control.

– Do not tur n shar ply . Use care when

rev ersing .

•W atc h out for trafﬁc when crossing or near

roadw a ys .

•Stop the blades rotating before crossing

surfaces other than g rass .

•W hen using any attac hments , nev er direct

disc harg e of material to w ard b ystanders

nor allo w any one near the mac hine while in

operation.

•Nev er operate the mac hine with damag ed

guards or without safety protecti v e devices in

place .

•Do not c hang e the engine g o v er nor settings or

o v erspeed the engine . Operating the engine

at ex cessi v e speed can increase the hazard of

personal injur y .

•Before lea ving the operator’ s position:

– diseng ag e the po w er tak e-off and lo w er the

attac hments;

– c hang e into neutral and set the parking

brak e;

– stop the engine and remo v e the k ey .

•Diseng ag e dri v e to attac hments , stop the

engine , and disconnect the spark plug wire(s)

or remo v e the ignition k ey

– before clearing bloc kag es or unclog ging

c hute;

– before c hec king, cleaning or w orking on

the la wnmo w er;

– after striking a foreign object. Inspect

the la wnmo w er for damag e and mak e

re pairs before restar ting and operating the

equipment;

– if the mac hine star ts to vibrate abnor mally

(c hec k immediately).

•Diseng ag e dri v e to attac hments when

transpor ting or not in use .

•Stop the engine and diseng ag e dri v e to

attac hment

– before refuelling;

– before remo ving the g rass catc her;

– before making height adjustment unless

adjustment can be made from the operator’ s

position.

•R educe the throttle setting during engine

r un-out and, if the engine is pro vided with

a shut-off v alv e , tur n the fuel off at the

conclusion of mo wing .

Maintenance and Storage

•K ee p all n uts , bolts and screws tight to be sure

the equipment is in safe w orking condition.

•Nev er store the equipment with fuel in the

tank inside a building where fumes can reac h

an open ﬂame or spark.

•Allo w the engine to cool before storing in any

enclosure .

•T o reduce the ﬁre hazard, k ee p the engine ,

silencer , batter y compar tment and fuel storag e

area free of g rass , lea v es , or ex cessi v e g rease .

•Chec k the g rass catc her frequently for w ear or

deterioration.

•R e place w or n or damag ed par ts for safety .

•If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should

be done outdoors .

•W hen mac hine is to be park ed, stored or left

unattended, lo w er the cutting means .

Toro Riding Mower Safety

T he follo wing list contains safety infor mation

speciﬁc to T oro products or other safety

infor mation that y ou m ust kno w that is not

included in the CEN standard.

•Engine exhaust contains carbon mono xide ,

whic h is an odorless , deadly poison that can

kill y ou. Do not r un engine indoors or in an

enclosed area.

•K ee p hands , feet, hair and loose clothing a w a y

from attac hment disc harg e area, underside of

mo w er and any mo ving par ts while engine is

r unning .

•Do not touc h equipment or attac hment par ts

whic h ma y be hot from operation. Allo w to

cool before attempting to maintain, adjust, or

ser vice .

•Batter y acid is poisonous and can cause bur ns .

A v oid contact with skin, eyes and clothing .

Protect y our face , eyes , and clothing when

w orking with a batter y .

•Batter y g ases can explode . K ee p cig arettes ,

sparks , and ﬂames a w a y from batter y .

•Use only g en uine T oro re placement par ts to

ensure that original standards are maintained.

•Use only T oro-appro v ed attac hments .

Slope Operation

•Do not mo w slopes g reater than 15 deg rees .

•Do not mo w near drop-offs , ditc hes , stee p

banks , or w ater . W heels dropping o v er edg es

can cause rollo v ers , whic h ma y result in serious

injur y , death, or dro wning .

•Do not mo w slopes when g rass is w et. Slipper y

conditions reduce traction and could cause

sliding and loss of control.

•Do not mak e sudden tur ns or rapid speed

c hang es .

•Use a w alk behind mo w er and/or a hand

trimmer near drop-offs , ditc hes , stee p banks ,

or w ater .

•R educe speed and use extreme caution on

slopes .

•R emo v e or mark obstacles suc h as roc ks , tree

limbs , etc . from mo wing area. T all g rass can

hide obstacles .

•W atc h for ditc hes , holes , roc ks dips , and rises

that c hang e the operating angle , as rough

ter rain could o v er tur n the mac hine .

•A v oid sudden star ts when mo wing uphill

because the mo w er ma y tip bac kw ards .

•Be a w are that loss of traction ma y occur g oing

do wnhill. W eight transfer to the front wheels

ma y cause dri v e wheels to slip and cause loss

of braking and steering .

•Alw a ys a v oid sudden star ting or stopping on

a slope . If tires lose traction, diseng ag e the

blades and proceed slo wly off the slope .

•F ollo w the man ufacturer’ s recommendations

for wheel w eights or counterw eights to

impro v e stability .

•Use extreme care with g rass catc hers or other

attac hments . T hese can c hang e the stability of

the mac hine and cause loss of control.
