Safety Instructions
The REELMASTER 6500-D and 6700–D was tested
and certified by TORO for compliance with the
B71.4-1990 specifications of the American National
Standards Institute when ballast is added. See Opera-
tor’s Manual for ballast requirements. Although hazard
control and accident prevention partially are dependent
upon the design and configuration of the machine, these
factors are also dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern, and proper training of the personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the
machine. Improper 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 instruc-
tions.
