Safety Instructions

The GROUNDSMASTERR 3000 and 3000-D was tested and certified by TORO for compliance with the B71.4—1990 specifications of the American National Standards Institute. Although hazard control and acci­ dent prevention partially are dependent upon the design and configuration 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, com­ ply with the following safety instructions.
