Operation Before Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

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 and remove all debris.

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.

Do not fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground, away from your vehicle before filling.

Remove the equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it while it is on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel from a portable container rather than 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 For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than

30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).

Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same. Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for use. Never use gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine damage which may not be covered under warranty.

Do not use gasoline containing methanol. Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel

containers over the winter unless you use a fuel stabilizer.

Do not add oil to gasoline.

14

Using Stabilizer/Conditioner Use fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to keep the fuel fresh longer when used as directed by the fuel-stabilizer manufacturer.

Important: Do not use fuel additives containing methanol or ethanol.

Add the amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner to fresh fuel as directed by the fuel-stabilizer manufacturer.

Filling the Fuel Tank(s) 1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage

the parking brake (if equipped), and lower the loader arms.

2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and allow the engine to cool.

3. Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove it (Figure 14).

g242641

Figure 14

1. Fuel-tank cap

4. Add fuel to the tank until the level is 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the bottom of the filler neck.

Important: This space in the tank allows fuel to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.

5. Install the fuel-tank cap securely, turning it until it clicks.

6. Wipe up any spilled fuel.

Performing Daily Maintenance Before starting the machine each day, perform the Each Use/Daily procedures listed in the Maintenance (page 22). Important: Check the hydraulic-fluid level before starting the engine for the first time; refer to Checking the Hydraulic-Fluid Level (page 44).

During Operation During Operation Safety General Safety Do not carry a load with the arms raised. Always

carry loads close to the ground. Do not exceed the rated operating capacity, as the

machine may become unstable, which may result in loss of control.

Use only Toro-approved attachments and accessories. Attachments can change the stability and the operating characteristics of the machine.

For machines with a platform: Lower the loader arms before stepping off the

platform. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting

your foot on the ground. If you lose control of the machine, step off the platform and away from the machine.

Do not place your feet under the platform. Do not move the machine unless you are

standing with both feet on the platform and your hands are holding onto the reference bars.

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

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.

15

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. Before leaving the operating position, do the

following: Park the machine on a level surface. 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.

16

Starting the Engine 1. Stand on the platform (if equipped on your

machine). 2. Ensure that the auxiliary hydraulics lever is in

the NEUTRAL position. 3. Move the choke lever fully forward if you are

starting a cold engine.

Note: A warm or hot engine may not require choking.

4. Move the throttle lever midway between the SLOW and FAST positions.

5. Insert the key into the key switch and turn it 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.

6. After the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever back to the OFF position. If the engine stalls or hesitates, move the choke forward again until the engine warms up.

7. Move the throttle lever to the desired setting.

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. When starting the engine in cold conditions, allow it to run in the middle throttle position for 2 to 5 minutes before moving the throttle to the FAST position.

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

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). Place the throttle lever in the FAST position for best performance. You can, however, use the throttle position to operate at slower speeds.

Shutting Off the Engine 1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage

the parking brake (if equipped), and lower the loader arms.

2. Ensure that the auxiliary hydraulics lever is in the NEUTRAL position.

3. Move the throttle lever 3/4 of the way to the FAST position.

Note: If you set the throttle lower than halfway to the FAST position, the engine may continue to run for 1 second after turning the key to the OFF position, preventing a loud after-fire bang.

4. If the engine has been working hard or is hot, let it idle for a minute before turning the key switch to the OFF position.

Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses WARNING

Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury; otherwise, gangrene may result. Ensure that all hydraulic-fluid hoses

and lines are in good condition and all hydraulic connections and fittings are tight before applying pressure to the hydraulic system.

Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic fluid.

Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks; never use your hands.

CAUTION Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves, and hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact hot components, you may be burned. Wear gloves when operating the hydraulic

couplers. Allow the machine to cool before touching

hydraulic components. Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.

If the attachment requires hydraulics for operation, connect the hydraulic hoses as follows: 1. Shut off the engine and remove the key. 2. Move the auxiliary-hydraulics lever forward,

backward, and back to the NEUTRAL position to relieve pressure at the hydraulic couplers.

3. Remove the protective covers from the hydraulic connectors on the machine.

4. Ensure that all foreign matter is cleaned from the hydraulic connectors.

5. Push the attachment male connector into the female connector on the machine.

Note: When you connect the attachment male connector first, you relieve any pressure built up in the attachment.

6. Push the attachment female connector onto the male connector on the machine.

7. Confirm that the connection is secure by pulling on the hoses.

Removing an Attachment 1. Park the machine on a level surface. 2. Lower the attachment to the ground. 3. Shut off the engine and remove the key. 4. Disengage the quick-attach pins by turning them

to the outside. 5. If the attachment uses hydraulics, move the

auxiliary-hydraulics lever forward, backward, and back to the NEUTRAL position to relieve pressure at the hydraulic couplers.

6. If the attachment uses hydraulics, slide the collars back on the hydraulic couplers and disconnect them.

California Proposition 65 Warning Information

What is this warning? You may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following:

WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harmwww.p65Warnings.ca.gov.

What is Prop 65? Prop 65 applies to any company operating in California, selling products in California, or manufacturing products that may be sold in or brought into California. It mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other reproductive harm. The list, which is updated annually, includes hundreds of chemicals found in many everyday items. The purpose of Prop 65 is to inform the public about exposure to these chemicals.

Prop 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals but instead requires warnings on any product, product packaging, or literature with the product. Moreover, a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is in violation of any product safety standards or requirements. In fact, the California government has clarified that a Prop 65 warning is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is safe or unsafe. Many of these chemicals have been used in everyday products for years without documented harm. For more information, go to https://oag.ca.gov/prop65/faqs-view-all.

A Prop 65 warning means that a company has either (1) evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the no significant risk level; or (2) has chosen to provide a warning based on its understanding about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure.

Does this law apply everywhere? Prop 65 warnings are required under California law only. These warnings are seen throughout California in a wide range of settings, including but not limited to restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals, and on a wide variety of products. Additionally, some online and mail order retailers provide Prop 65 warnings on their websites or in catalogs.

How do the California warnings compare to federal limits? Prop 65 standards are often more stringent than federal and international standards. There are various substances that require a Prop 65 warning at levels that are far lower than federal action limits. For example, the Prop 65 standard for warnings for lead is 0.5 g/day, which is well below the federal and international standards.

Why dont all similar products carry the warning? Products sold in California require Prop 65 labelling while similar products sold elsewhere do not.

A company involved in a Prop 65 lawsuit reaching a settlement may be required to use Prop 65 warnings for its products, but other companies making similar products may have no such requirement.

The enforcement of Prop 65 is inconsistent.

Companies may elect not to provide warnings because they conclude that they are not required to do so under Prop 65; a lack of warnings for a product does not mean that the product is free of listed chemicals at similar levels.

Why does Toro include this warning? Toro has chosen to provide consumers with as much information as possible so that they can make informed decisions about the products they buy and use. Toro provides warnings in certain cases based on its knowledge of the presence of one or more listed chemicals without evaluating the level of exposure, as not all the listed chemicals
