General Safety Instructions
The REELMASTER 3100--D was tested and certified by
TORO for compliance with national and international
standards as specified in the Operator’s Manual. Al-
though hazard control and accident prevention are de-
pendent partially upon the design and configuration of
the machine, these factors are also dependent upon the
awareness, concern, and proper training of the person-
nel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance,
and storage of the machine. Improper use or mainte-
nance by the operator or owner of the machine can re-
sult in injury. To reduce the potential for any injury,
comply with the following safety instructions.
WARNING
To reduce the potential for injury or death, com-
ply with the following safety instructions.
Supervisor’s Responsibilities
1. Make sure operators are thoroughly trained and fa-
miliar with the Operator’s Manual, Operator’s Video,
and all the operating and safety decals on the machine.
2. Be sure to establish your own special procedures
and work rules for unusual operating conditions (e.g.
slopes to steep for machine operation). Survey mow-
ing site completely to determine which hills can be
operated on safely. When performing this site survey,
always use common sense and take into consideration
the turf condition and the r ollover risk. To determine
which hills or slopes may be safely operated on, use the
inclinometer provided with each machine. To perform a
site survey, lay a 4 foot long, 2 by 4 inch piece of wood
on theslope surfaceand measurethe angleof theslope.
The piece ofwood will average theslope but willnot take
into consideration dips or holes. THE MAXIMUM SIDE
HILL ANGLE SHOULD NOT BE GREATER THAN 25
DEGREES.
