Slope Safety

• Operate the machine up and down slopes with the heavy end of the machine uphill.

Weight distribution changes with attachments. This attachment makes the front of machine the heavy end.

• Keep the attachment in the lowered position when on slopes.

Raising the attachment on a slope affects the stability of the machine.

• Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operating the machine on any slope or uneven terrain requires extra caution.

• Establish your own procedures and rules for operating on slopes. These procedures must include surveying the site to determine which slopes are safe for machine operation. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this survey.

• Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Ground conditions can affect the stability of the machine.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the machine loses traction, proceed slowly, straight down the slope.

• Avoid turning on slopes. If you must turn, turn slowly and keep the heavy end of the machine uphill.

• Keep all movements on slopes slow and gradual.

Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

• If you feel uneasy operating the machine on a slope, do not do it.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps, as uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Use caution when operating on wet surfaces.

Reduced traction could cause sliding.

• Evaluate the area to ensure that the ground is stable enough to support the machine.

• Use caution when operating the machine near the following:

– Drop-offs

– Ditches

– Embankments

– Bodies of water

The machine could suddenly roll over if a track goes over the edge or the edge caves in. Maintain a safe distance between the machine and any hazard.

• Do not remove or add attachments on a slope.

• Do not park the machine on a hillside or slope.

Hydraulic Blade Safety

• For wheeled traction units with a built-in operator's platform, do not use the counterweight on the traction unit when using the attachment.

• After striking a foreign object, shut off the engine, remove the key, thoroughly inspect the attachment for any damage, and repair the damage before starting and operating the attachment.

• Always lower the attachment each time you shut off the machine or leave the operating position.

• Seek immediate medical attention if hydraulic fluid is injected into skin. Injected fluid must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor.

• Ensure that all hydraulic-fluid hoses and lines are in good condition and all hydraulic connections and fittings are tight before applying pressure to the hydraulic system.

• Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic fluid.

• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.

Maintenance and Storage

Safety

• Check fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe operating condition.

• Refer to the Operator’s Manual for important details if you store the attachment for an extended period of time

• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system before performing any work on the hydraulic system.

Operation

Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

Installing and Removing the Attachment

Refer to the Operator’s Manual for the traction unit for the installation and removal procedure.

Important: Before installing the attachment, position the machine on a level surface, ensure that the mount plates are free of any dirt or debris, and ensure that the pins rotate freely. If the pins do not rotate freely, grease them.

Note: Always use the traction unit to lift and move the attachment.

WARNING

If you do not fully seat the quick-attach pins through the attachment mount plate, the attachment could fall off the machine, crushing you or bystanders.

Ensure that the quick-attach pins are fully seated in the attachment mount plate.

CAUTION

Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves, and hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact hot components, you may be burned.

• Wear gloves when disconnecting the hydraulic couplers.

California Proposition 65 Warning Information

What is this warning?

You may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following:

WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm—www.p65Warnings.ca.gov.

What is Prop 65?

Prop 65 applies to any company operating in California, selling products in California, or manufacturing products that may be sold in or brought into

California. It mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other reproductive harm. The list, which is updated annually, includes hundreds of chemicals found in many everyday items. The purpose of Prop 65 is to inform the public about exposure to these chemicals.

Prop 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals but instead requires warnings on any product, product packaging, or literature with the product. Moreover, a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is in violation of any product safety standards or requirements. In fact, the

California government has clarified that a Prop 65 warning “is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is ‘safe’ or ‘unsafe.’” Many of these chemicals have been used in everyday products for years without documented harm. For more information, go to https://oag.ca.gov/prop65/faqs-view-all .

A Prop 65 warning means that a company has either (1) evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the “no significant risk level”; or (2) has chosen to provide a warning based on its understanding about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure.

Does this law apply everywhere?

Prop 65 warnings are required under California law only. These warnings are seen throughout California in a wide range of settings, including but not limited to restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals, and on a wide variety of products. Additionally, some online and mail order retailers provide Prop 65 warnings on their websites or in catalogs.

How do the California warnings compare to federal limits?

Prop 65 standards are often more stringent than federal and international standards. There are various substances that require a Prop 65 warning at levels that are far lower than federal action limits. For example, the Prop 65 standard for warnings for lead is 0.5 μg/day, which is well below the federal and international standards.

Why don’t all similar products carry the warning?

Products sold in California require Prop 65 labelling while similar products sold elsewhere do not.

A company involved in a Prop 65 lawsuit reaching a settlement may be required to use Prop 65 warnings for its products, but other companies making similar products may have no such requirement.

The enforcement of Prop 65 is inconsistent.

Companies may elect not to provide warnings because they conclude that they are not required to do so under Prop 65; a lack of warnings for a product does not mean that the product is free of listed chemicals at similar levels.

Why does Toro include this warning?

Toro has chosen to provide consumers with as much information as possible so that they can make informed decisions about the products they buy and use. Toro provides warnings in certain cases based on its knowledge of the presence of one or more listed chemicals without evaluating the level of exposure, as not all the listed chemicals provide exposure limit requirements. While the exposure from Toro products may be negligible or well within the

“no significant risk” range, out of an abundance of caution, Toro has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover, if Toro does not provide these warnings, it could be sued by the State of California or by private parties seeking to enforce Prop 65 and subject to substantial penalties.
