General Safety Instructions
The GROUNDSMASTER 3505--D was tested and certi-
fied by TORO for compliance with existing standards
and specifications as identified in the Operator’s Manu-
al. Although hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent partially upon the design and configuration
of the machine, these factors are also dependent upon
the awareness, concern and proper training of the per-
sonnel involved in the operation, transport, mainte-
nance and storage of the machine. Improper use or
maintenance by the operator or owner of the machine
can result in injury. To reduce the potential for any injury,
comply with the following safety instructions.
WARNING
To reduce the potential for injury or death,
comply 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 y our own special procedures
and work rules for unusual operating conditions (e.g.
slopes too 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 rollover risk. To perform a site
survey, followthe procedure outlined in the Traction Unit
Operator’s Manual. THE MAXIMUM SIDE HILL
ANGLE SHOULD NOT BE GREATER THAN 15 DE-
GREES.
Before Operating
1. Read and understand the contents of the Operator’s
Manual before starting and operating the machine. Be-
come familiar with thecontrols and know how to stop the
machine and engine quickly. Copies of the Operator’s
Manual are available on the internet at www.Toro.com.
2. Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place.
If a shield, safety device or decal is defective, illegible or
damaged, repair or replace it before operating the ma-
chine. Also tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws to en-
sure machine is in safe operating condition.
3. Assure that operator’s presence controls, safety
switches and shields are attached and functioning prop-
erly. Do not operate the machine unless these items are
functioning properly.
