SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The GROUNDSMASTER 455ĆD was tested and certified by TORO for compliance with the B71.4Ć1990 specifications of the American National Standards Institute. 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, concern, and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine.
! Operator must be skilled and trained in how to drive on hillsides. Failure to use caution on slopes or hills may cause loss of control and vehicle to tip or roll possibly resulting in personal injury or death. This product may exceed noise levels of 85 dB(A) at the operator position. Ear protectors are recommended, for prolonged exposure, to reduce the potential of permanent hearing damage.

The traction unit and cutting unit have grease fittings that must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease. If machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate all grease fittings after every 25 hours of operation. Lubricate all grease fittings immediately after every washing, regardless of interval listed. The grease fittings that must be lubricated are: Lift arm pivot (2), lift cylinder (4), brake arm pivots (2) (Fig.

" With wing decks raised, center deck down and oil warm, look into sight gauge (Fig. 35). If hydraulic oil is not visible, add enough oil to raise level to middle (maximum) of sight gauge. To prevent over filling, do not fill if oil is cold. DO NOT OVER FILL. Start engine and let run for about two minutes to purge air from the system. Stop the engine and check oil level. Also check for any leaks.
