General Safety Instructions
The GROUNDSMASTER 4100-D was tested and certi-
fied by TORO for compliance with existing safety stan-
dards and specifications. Although hazard control and
accident 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 opera-
tion, transport, maintenance and storage of the ma-
chine. Improper use or maintenance of the machine can
result in injury or death. Toreduce the potential for injury
or death, comply with the following safety instructions.
WARNING
To reduce the potential for injury or death,
comply with the following safety instructions.
Before Operating
1. Review and understand the contents of the Opera-
tor’s Manual and Operator’s DVD before starting and
operating the vehicle. Become familiar with the controls
and know how to stop the vehicle and engine quickly.
Additional copiesofthe Operator’sManualare 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 interlock switches are adjusted correctly so
engine cannot be started unless traction pedal is in
NEUTRAL and cutting deck is DISENGAGED.
4. Since diesel fuel is highly flammable, handle it care-
fully:
A. Use an approved fuel container.
B. Do not remove fuel tank cap while engine is hot or
running.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
D. Fill fuel tank outdoors andonly to within an inch of
the top of the tank, not the filler neck. Do not overfill.
E. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
While Operating
1. Sit on the seat when starting and operating the ma-
chine.
2. Before starting the engine:
A. Apply the parking brake.
B. Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and the
PTO switch is OFF (disengaged).
C. After engine is started, release parking brake and
keep foot off traction pedal. Machine must not move.
If movement is evident, the traction pedal linkage is
adjusted incorrectly; therefore, shut engine off and
adjust linkage until machine does not move when
traction pedal is released.
3. Do not run engine in a confined area without ade-
quate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
4. Do not touch engine, muffler or exhaust pipe w hile
engineisrunning orsoon afteritis stopped.These areas
could be hot enough to cause burns.
5. Before getting off the seat:
A. Ensure that traction pedal is in neutral.
B. Apply parking brake.
C. Disengage cutting deck and wait for blades to
stop.
D. Stop engine and remove key from switch.
E. Toro recommends that anytime the machine is
parked (short or long term), the cutting deck should
be lowered to the ground. This relieves pressure
from the lift circuit and eliminates the risk of the cut-
ting deck unexpectedly lowering to the ground.
F. Do notpark on slopes unlesswheelsarechocked
or blocked.
