Safety Instructions
The ProCore 648 is designed and tested to offer safe
service when operated and maintained properly. Al-
though 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 person-
nel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of the machine. Improper use or mainte-
nance of the machine can result in injury or death. To re-
duce 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. Read and understand the contents of the Operator’ s
Manual before starting and operating the machine. Be-
come familiar with the controls and know how to stop the
machine and engine quickly. Additional 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
machine. Also tighten any loose nuts, bolts or screws to
ensure machine is in safe oper ating c ondition.
3. Assure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so
engine cannot be started unless traction lever is in NEU-
TRAL and coring head is DISENGAGED.
4. Since gasoline is highly flammable, handle it careful-
ly:
A. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose.
B. Do not remove machine fuel tank cap while en-
gine is hot or r unning.
C. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
D. Fill fuel tank outdoors and only to within an inch of
the top of the tank, not the filler neck. Do not overfill
the fuel tank.
E. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
While Operating
1. Operator should be standing at the side console
when starting the engine and at the handle when operat-
ing the machine. Stay away from the coring head when
it is engaged.
2. Before starting the engine:
A. Engage the parking brake.
B. Make sure traction lever is in neutral.
3. After engine is started, release parking brake and
apply no pressure to traction lever . Machine must not
move. If movement is evident, the traction linkage is ad-
justed incorrectly. Shut engine off and adjust traction
linkage until machine does not move when traction lever
is released (see Operator’s M anual).
4. Do not run engine in a confined area without ade-
quate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
5. Do not touch engine, muffler or exhaust pipe while
engine is running or soon after it is stopped. These
areas could be hot enough to cause burns.
6. Before leaving the oper ator’s position:
A. Ensure that traction lever is in neutral.
B. Raise coring head and wait for coring head to
stop.
C. Set parking brake. Stop engine and remove key
from ignition switch.
7. Anytime the machine is parked (short or long term),
install the service latch to secure the coring head in the
raised position. This eliminates the risk of the coring
head ac cidentally lowering to the ground.
8. Do not park on slopes unless wheels are chocked or
blocked.
