General Safety Instructions
The GROUNDSMASTER 3500 was tested and certified
by TORO for compliance with existing standards and
specifications as identified in the Operator’s Manual. Al-
though hazard control and accident prevention are de-
pendent partially upon the design and configuration of
the machine, these factors are also dependent upon the
awareness, concern, and proper training of the person-
nel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance,

nance by the operator or owner of the machine can re-
sult in injury. To reduce the potential for any injury,
comply with the following safety instructions.
