Operator's Manual

• If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop
the engine and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents
which can result in a severe injury. If you feel uneasy on a
slope, do not paint it.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
• Do not paint near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
You could lose your footing or balance.
• Do not use on wet surfaces. Reduced footing could
cause slipping.
Maintenance and Storage
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to ensure that the
machine is in safe working condition.
• Never store the machine with gasoline in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine in
any enclosure.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, muffler and
gasoline storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive
grease.
• Replace worn or damaged parts.
• Use extra care when handling gasoline; gasoline
vapors are explosive.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
• Keep the machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris
buildup. Clean up any oil or fuel that spills.
• Stop and inspect the machine if you strike an object.
Repair the machine, if necessary, before starting the
engine.

• If you must drain the fuel from the fuel tank, do it
outdoors.
• To ensure the best performance and safety, purchase
only genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories.

necessary.
