injury or death. The operator is responsible for
safe slope operation. Operating the machine on
any slope requires extra caution. Before using the
machine on a slope, do the following:
– Review and understand the slope instructions
in the manual and on the machine.
– Use an angle indicator to determine the
approximate slope angle of the area.
– Never operate the lawn mower on slopes
greater than 12°.
– Evaluate the site conditions of the day to
determine if the slope is safe for machine
operation. Use common sense and good
judgment when performing this evaluation.
Changes in the terrain, such as moisture, can
quickly affect the operation of the machine on
a slope.
•
Identify hazards at the base of the slope. Do
not operate the machine near drop-offs, ditches,
embankments, water, or other hazards. The
machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes
over the edge or the edge collapses. Keep a safe
distance (twice the width of the machine) between
the machine and any hazard. Use a walk-behind
machine or a hand trimmer to mow the grass in
these areas.
1. Safe Zone—use the
machine here on slopes
less than 12° or flat areas.
2. Danger Zone—use a
walk-behind mower and/or
a hand trimmer on slopes
greater than 12° and near
drop-offs or water.

•
Drive up and down slopes, not across. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on
slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or
direction; turn slowly and gradually.
•
If the machine stops going uphill, stop the blades
and back down slowly.
•
Do not operate a machine under any conditions
where traction, steering, or stability is in question.
Be aware that operating the machine on wet
grass, across slopes, or downhill may cause the
machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the
drive wheels may result in sliding and a loss of
braking and steering. The machine can slide even
if the drive wheels are stopped.
•
Remove or mark obstacles such as ditches, holes,
ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards. Tall
grass can hide obstacles. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine.
•
If possible, keep the deck lowered to the ground
while operating on slopes. Raising the deck while
operating on slopes can cause the machine to
become unstable.
After Operation Safety
Remove the key before storing or transporting the
machine.
Battery and Charger Safety
General
•
Use only the supplied power cord for battery
charging.
•
Confirm the voltage that is available in your
country before using the charger.
•
For connection to a supply not in the US,
use an attachment plug adapter of the proper
configuration for the power outlet, if needed.
•
Do not charge the machine in rain or wet

conditions.
•
A risk of fire, electric shock, or injury may result
from using an accessory not recommended or
sold by Toro.
•
To reduce risk of a battery explosion, follow these
instructions and the instructions for any equipment
that you intend to use near the charger.
•
Do not open batteries.
•
In the event that a battery leaks, avoid contact with
the liquid. If you accidentally come into contact
with the liquid, flush with water and seek medical
