Operating Practices
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
which is an odorless, deadly poison.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Carbon monoxide can kill you.
hearing protection, and a hard hat are advisable
and may be required by some local ordinances
and insurance regulations.
•Ensure that the area is clear of other people
before operating the traction unit. Stop the
traction unit if anyone enters the area.
•Never carry passengers on attachments or on the
traction unit.
•Always look down and behind before and while
backing.
•Do not place your feet under the platform.
•Slow down before turning. Sharp turns on any
terrain may cause loss of control.
•Never leave a running traction unit unattended.
Always lower the loader arms, stop the engine,
and remove the key before dismounting.
•Do not exceed the rated operating capacity, as
the traction unit may become unstable which
may result in loss of control.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD

the operator’s manual, in the video, and on the
traction unit before starting. Also, read all
attachment manuals where supplied.
•Allow only responsible adults who are familiar
with the instructions to operate the traction unit.
•Do not operate the traction unit or attachments
while wearing sandals, tennis shoes, sneakers, or
shorts. Always wear long pants and substantial
shoes. W
earing safety glasses, safety shoes,
•Do not carry a load with the arms raised. Always
carry loads close to the ground. Do not step off
of the platform with the load raised.
•Do not over-load the attachment and always
keep the load level when raising the loader arms.
Logs, boards, and other items could roll down
the loader arms, injuring you.
•Never jerk the control levers; use a steady
motion.
•Keep your hands, feet, hair, and loose clothing
away from any moving parts.
•Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
•Do not operate the traction unit while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
2
Safety
•Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing
roadways.
•Use extra care when loading or unloading the
traction unit onto a trailer or truck.
•Do not touch parts which may be hot from
operation. Allow them to cool before attempting
to maintain, adjust, or service.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control
and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe
injury or death. All slopes require extra caution.
•Operate up and down slopes with the heavy
end of the traction unit uphill. Weight
distribution changes. An empty bucket will make
the rear of the traction unit the heavy end, and a
full bucket will make the front of the traction
unit the heavy end. Most other attachments will
make the front of traction unit the heavy end.
•Do not operate the traction unit on hillsides or
slopes exceeding the angles recommended in the
Stability Data section, page 11, and those in the
attachment operator’s manual. See also the
slope chart on page 6.
•Follow the recommendations in the attachment
manuals for the use of counterweights to
improve stability.
•Use only Toro approved attachments.
Attachments can change the stability and the
operating characteristics of the traction unit.
Warranty may be voided if used with
unapproved attachments.
•Keep all movements on slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or
direction.
•Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires
lose traction, proceed slowly, straight down the
slope.
•Check for overhead clearances (i.e. branches,
doorways, electrical wires) before driving under
any objects and do not contact them.
•Avoid turning on slopes. If you must turn, turn
slowly and keep the heavy end of the traction
unit uphill.
•Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. The traction unit could suddenly
turn over if a wheel goes over the edge of a cliff
or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
•Raising the loader arms on a slope will affect the
stability of the machine. Whenever possible,
keep the loader arms in the lowered position
when on slopes.
•Removing an attachment on a slope will make
the rear of the traction unit heavy. Refer to the
Stability Data section, page 11, to determine
whether the attachment can be safely removed
on the slope.
•Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
from the work area. Watch for holes, ruts, or
bumps, as uneven terrain could overturn the
traction unit. T
•Use slow speed on slopes. Before starting the
engine, put the pump selector lever in the slow
(turtle) position so that you will not have to stop
or shift while on the slope.
all grass can hide obstacles.
•Do not operate on wet grass. Reduced traction
could cause sliding.
•Do not park the traction unit on a hillside or
slope without lowering the attachment to the
ground, setting the parking brake, and chocking
the wheels.
•Do not try to stabilize the traction unit by putting
your foot on the ground.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert
to the presence of children. Children are often
attracted to the traction unit and the work activity.
Never assume that children will remain where you
last saw them.
3
Safety
•Keep children out of the work area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
•Be alert and turn the traction unit off if children
enter the area.
•Before and while backing, look behind and down
for small children.
•Never carry children. They may fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with safe traction
unit operation.
•Never allow children to operate the traction unit.
•Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, the end of a fence, or other objects
that may obscure vision.
Service
•Stop the engine before performing any service,
repairs, maintenance, or adjustments.
•If any maintenance or repair requires the loader
arms to be in the raised position, secure the arms
in the raised position with the hydraulic cylinder
locks included with traction unit.
•Never run a traction unit inside a closed area.
•Never refuel the traction unit indoors.
•Never store the traction unit or fuel
container inside where there is an open
flame, such as near a water heater or
furnace.
•Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an
object. Make any necessary repairs before
restarting.
•Use only genuine replacement parts to ensure
that original standards are maintained.
•Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Protect your face, eyes, and clothing when
working with a battery.
•Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes,
sparks and flames away from the battery.
•Keep your body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find
hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under
pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury
requiring surgery within a few hours by a
qualified surgeon or gangrene may result.
•Keep nuts and bolts tight. Keep equipment in
good condition.
•Never tamper with safety devices. Check safety
systems for proper operation before each use.
•Keep the traction unit free of grass, leaves, or
other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel
spillage. Allow the traction unit to cool before
storing.

Check Before Operating
Stability
Data
The following table lists the maximum slope recommended for the traction unit in the positions listed in the
table. Slopes over the listed degree may cause the traction unit to become unstable. The data in the table
assumes that the loader arms are fully lowered and that the factory installed tires are on the traction unit, inflated
to the recommended pressure; raised arms and other tire types or pressure may affect the stability.
Maximum Recommended Slope

* In each attachment manual is a set of three stability ratings, one for each hill position. To determine the
maximum slope you can traverse with the attachment installed, find the degree of slope that corresponds to the
stabilities ratings of the attachment. Unless otherwise specified in the attachment manual, assume that the listed
ratings are for use without the counterweight.
Example: If the attachment installed on the traction unit has a Front Uphill rating of B, a Rear Uphill rating of
D, and a Side Uphill rating of C, then you could drive forward up a 19
° slope, rearward up a 11° slope, or
sideways on a 13° slope, as listed in the above table.
11
Before Operating
Before operating, check the fuel and oil level, remove
debris from the traction unit, ensure that the water is
drained from the fuel filter, and check the tire
pressure. Also, ensure that the area is clear of people
and debris. You should also know and have marked
the locations of all utility lines.
Adding
The engine runs on clean, fresh diesel fuel with a
minimum cetane rating of 40. Purchase fuel in
quantities that can be used within 30 days to ensure
fuel freshness.
Use summer grade diesel fuel (No. 2–D) at
temperatures above 20 F (–7 C) and winter grade
diesel fuel (No. 1–D or No. 1–D/2–D blend) below
20 F (–7 C). Use of winter grade diesel fuel at
lower temperatures provides lower flash point and
pour point characteristics, allowing easier starts and
lessening the chances of chemical separation of the
fuel due to lower temperatures.
Use of summer grade diesel fuel above 20 F (–7 C)
will contribute toward longer life of the fuel pump
components.
IMPORTANT: Do not use ker
gasoline in place of diesel fuel. Failure to
observe this caution will damage the engine.

unit will either stop suddenly or accelerate
quickly.
• If the traction unit is operated with the
pump selector lever in an intermediate
position, the traction unit will operate
erratically and may be damaged.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• You could be thrown forward or
backwards, resulting in injury.
• If the traction unit accelerates quickly, you
could loose control of the traction unit and
injure bystanders or yourself.
• You could loose control of the traction unit,
severely injuring yourself or others.
• The traction unit could be damaged.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Do not move the pump selector lever when
the traction unit is in motion.
• Do not operate the traction unit when the
speed selector is in any intermediate
position (i.e., any position other than fully
forward or fully rearward).
Flow Divider Control
The traction unit hydraulics (i.e., the traction drive,
loader arms, and attachment tilt) work on a separate
hydraulic circuit from the auxiliary hydraulics for
powering attachments; however, the two systems
share the same hydraulic pumps. Using the flow
divider control (Fig. 11), you can vary the speed of
the traction unit hydraulics by diverting hydraulic
flow to the auxiliary hydraulics circuit. The flow
divider allows you to divide the flow of fluid in
varying degrees to slow the traction unit. Thus, the
more hydraulic flow you divert to the auxiliary
hydraulics, the slower the traction unit hydraulics will
move.

charging. Check the belt midway in the span. Also,
check the belt for cracks and tears.
The fan belt should have a maximum deflection of
.28–.35 inch (7–9mm) with a 22 pound (10Kg) load
applied.
1.Position traction unit on a level surface, lower
the loader arms, and stop the engine. Remove
key from ignition switch.
2.Loosen the alternator mounting bolts.
3.Adjust the belt to the proper tension and tighten

2.If the electrolyte is low, add the required amount
of distilled water; refer to Adding Water to the
Battery, below.
Adding Water to the Battery
The best time to add distilled water to the battery is
just before you operate the traction unit. This lets the
water mix thoroughly with the electrolyte solution.
1.Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
Servicing
the Battery
Check the electrolyte level in the battery every 25
hours. Always keep the battery clean and fully
charged. Use a paper towel to clean the battery case.
If the battery terminals are corroded, clean them with
a solution of four parts water and one part baking
soda. Apply a light coating of grease to the battery
terminals to reduce corrosion.
Voltage: 12 v, 340 to 380 Cold Cranking Amps
Checking the Electrolyte Level
1.Open covers to see into the cells. The electrolyte
must be up to the lower part of the tube
(Fig. 25).
2.Lift off the filler caps (Fig. 25).
3.Slowly pour distilled water into each battery cell
until the level is up to the lower part of the tube
(Fig. 25).
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the battery
because electr
sever
e corr
olyte (sulfuric acid) can cause
osion and damage to the chassis.
4.Press the filler caps onto the battery.
Charging the Battery
IMPORTANT: Always keep the battery fully
charged (1.260 specific gravity). This is
especially important to prevent battery
damage when the temperature is below 32°F
(0°C).
1.Check the electrolyte level; refer to Checking
Electrolyte Level.

Maintenance
2.Remove the filler caps from the battery and
connect a 3 to 4 amp battery charger to the
battery posts. Charge the battery at a rate of 4
amperes or less for 4 hours (12 volts). Do not
overcharge the battery.
3.Install the filler caps after the battery is fully
charged.
