Safety
DANGER
There may be buried utility lines in the work
area. Digging into them may cause a shock
or an explosion.
Have the property or work area marked for
buried lines and do not dig in marked areas.
Contact your local marking service or utility
company to have the property marked (for
example, in the US, call 81 1 or in Australia,
call 1 100 for the nationwide marking service).
General Safety
Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious
injury or death.
• Do not exceed the rated operating capacity , as the
machine may become unstable, which may result
in loss of control.
• Do not transport an attachment with the arms
raised or extended (if applicable) . Always
transport the attachment close to the ground; refer
to T ransport Position ( page 7 ) .
• Have the property or work area marked for buried
lines and other objects, and do not dig in marked
areas.
• Read and understand the content of this Operator ’ s
Manual before starting the machine.
• Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur .

Slope Safety
• Operate the machine up and down slopes with
the heavy end of the machine uphill. W eight
distribution changes with attachments. An empty
load-bearing attachment makes the rear of the
machine the heavy end, and a full load-bearing
attachment makes the front of the machine the
heavy end. Most other attachments make the front
of machine the heavy end.
• Raising or extending (if applicable) the loader arms
on a slope af fects the stability of the machine.
Keep the loader arms in the lowered and retracted
position when on slopes.
• 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 af fect the stability of the machine.
• A void starting or stopping on a slope. If the
machine loses traction, proceed slowly , straight
down the slope.
• A void 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.
• W atch for holes, ruts, or bumps, as uneven terrain
could overturn the machine. T all 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-of fs
– 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.
Bucket Safety
• Always lower the attachment and shut of f the
machine each time you leave the operating
position.
• When lifting the attachment, keep it level and
prevent the load from spilling backward.
Maintenance and Storage
Safety
• Check fasteners at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe
operating condition.
• Refer to this 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 .
Safety and Instructional
Decals
Safety decals and instructions are
easily visible to the operator and are
located near any area of potential
danger . Replace any decal that is
damaged or missing.

do not rotate freely , grease them.
Note: Always use the traction unit to lift and move
the attachment.
W ARNING
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.
Filling the Bucket
1. Position the bucket level to the ground.
2. Drive forward and insert the bucket into the pile
of material.
3. When the bucket is full, drive the machine in

California Proposition 65 W arning Information
What is this warning?
Y ou may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following:
W ARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm—www .p65W arnings.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 claried 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 signicant 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 T oro include this warning?
T oro 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. T oro 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 T oro products may be negligible or well within the
“no signicant risk” range, out of an abundance of caution, T oro has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover , if T oro 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.
