Operator's Manual

4
– Never transport the sweeper when the transport
alarm and the light are activated.
– Never transport the sweeper when it is in the offset
position.
– If engine stalls or machine loses headway and
cannot make it to the top of a slope, do not turn
machine around. Always back slowly straight down
the slope.
• Using the machine demands attention. Failure to
operate machine safety may result in an accident, tip
over of the machine, and possible serious injury or
death. Drive carefully. To prevent tipping or loss of
control:
– Operate only in daylight or when there is good
artificial light.
– Drive slowly.
– Watch for holes or other hazards.
– Use care when backing machine.
– Do not drive close to a sand trap, ditch, tall curb,
creek, or other hazard.
– Reduce speed when making sharp turns.
– Avoid turning the sweeper on a hill side or
embankment.
– Avoid sudden stops and starts.
– Do not go from reverse to forward or forward to
reverse without first coming to a complete stop.
– Do not attempt sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers or
other unsafe driving actions that may cause loss of
control.
– Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads.
Always yield the right–of–way.
• Operator must be skilled and trained in how to drive on
hillsides. Failure to use caution on slopes or hills may
cause loss of control, possibly resulting in personal
injury or death.
• When using a Workman as a tow vehicle, it is
recommended to put 500 pounds of weight into the
vehicle bed when operating on any slopes.
While Dumping
• The sweeper must be in the transport position (directly
behind tow vehicle) before activating dump cycle.
• Dumping debris can cause serious injury. Stay clear of
hopper while machine is backing up or dumping.
• Under rare circumstances wet, compressed grass
clippings may generate heat. Always empty the hopper
before storing the unit.
• Raising and lowering of hopper door could cause injury
to bystanders or pets. Keep bystanders and pets a safe
distance from hopper when operating to dump debris or
when opening and closing hopper door.
• To avoid the risk of electrical shock, dump hopper only
in area clear of overhead wires and other obstructions.
• NEVER dump hopper on a slope. Always dump hopper
on level ground.
• Park machine on a level surface, empty hopper, lower
hooper until roller is on the ground and block wheels
before removing sweeper from tow vehicle.
Maintenance
• Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate
skin and do serious damage. Keep body and hands away
from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find
hydraulic leaks. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene
may result.
• Perform only those maintenance instructions described
in this manual. If major repairs are ever needed or
assistance desired, contact an Authorized TORO
Distributor.
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight, and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
• Performing maintenance on machine not properly
supported with jack stands may cause machine to fall
and could cause injury.
• To be sure of optimum performance and safety, always
purchase genuine TORO replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by
other manufacturers could be dangerous. Altering this
machine in any manner may affect the machine’s
operation, performance, or durability, or its use may
result in injury or death. Such use could void product
warranty of The Toro Company.
