Safety Instructions
The GROUNDSMASTERR 3000 and 3000-D was
tested and certified by TORO for compliance with the
B71.4—1990 specifications of the American National
Standards Institute. Although hazard control and acci-
dent prevention partially are dependent upon the design
and configuration of the machine, these factors are also
dependent upon the awareness, concern, and proper
training of the personnel involved in the operation, trans-
port, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Improp-
er use or maintenance of the machine can result in injury
or death. To reduce the potential for injury or death, com-
ply with the following safety instructions.
