Safety Instructions
The Groundsmaster 3280−D and 3320 meet or exceeds
CEN standard EN 836:1997, ISO standard 5395:1990
(when appropriate decals applied), and ANSI
B71.4−2004 specifications when weights are installed
according to information in the Traction Unit Operator’s
Manual. Although hazard control and accident preven-
tion partially are dependent upon the design and config-
uration of the machine, these factors are also
dependent upon the awareness, concern and proper
training of the personnel involved in the operation, trans-
port, maintenance and storage of the machine. Improp-
er use or maintenance of the machine can result in injury
or death. To reduce 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. A replacement Operator’s
Manual is available on the Internet at www.Toro.com or
by sending the complete model and serial number to:
The Toro Company
Attn. Technical Publications
8111 Lyndale Avenue South
Bloomington, Minnesota 55420−1196
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 operating condition.
3. Assure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so
engine cannot be started unless traction pedal is in
NEUTRAL and P.T.O. switch is OFF (disengaged).
4. Since fuel is highly flammable, handle it carefully:
A. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose.
B. Do not remove machine fuel tank cap while en-
gine is hot or running.
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.
E. Replace fuel tank and fuel container caps secure-
ly after refueling machine.
F. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
but move the machine away from the area of the
spillage. Avoid creating any source of ignition until
fuel vapors have dissipated. 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. Engage the parking brake.
B. Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and the
P.T.O. 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 traction pedal linkage until machine does not
move when traction pedal is released (see Traction
Unit Operator’s Manual).
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, radiator or exhaust system
while engine is running or soon after it is 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. Lower and disengage cutting deck (or imple-
ment) and wait for all movement to stop.
C. Set parking brake.
D. Stop engine and remove key from ignition switch.
