Operating Practices
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
which is an odorless, deadly poison.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Carbon monoxide can kill you and is also
known to the State of California to cause
birth defects.
•
Always wear long pants and substantial shoes.
Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, 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
• Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed
area.
General Operation
•Read, understand, and follow all instructions in
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.
2
•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.
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.
•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 5.
•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.
•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.
•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.
•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
all grass can hide obstacles.
•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.
•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 and chocking the wheels.
•Do not try to stabilize the traction unit by putting
your foot on the ground.

Safety
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.
•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.
•Use extra care when handling fuel. It is
flammable and vapors are explosive.
•Use only an approved container.
•Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel when
the engine is running. Allow the engine to
cool before refueling. Do not smoke.
•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.
•Never fill a container while it is inside a
vehicle, trunk, pick–up bed, or any surface
other than the ground.
•Keep container nozzle in contact with the
tank during filling.
•Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an
object. Make any necessary repairs before
restarting.
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.
•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

Before Operating
Before operating, check the fuel and oil level, remove
debris from the traction unit, 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.

POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Under certain conditions fuel is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you,
others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel
that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.

18
To operate a hydraulic attachment in a reverse
direction, slowly push the auxiliary hydraulics lever
forward.
Speed Selector Lever
Move the speed selector lever to the fast (rabbit)
position to set the traction drive, loader arms, and
attachment tilt to high speed and the auxiliary
hydraulics to low speed.
Operation
Move the speed selector lever to the slow (turtle)
position to set the auxiliary hydraulics to high speed
and the traction drive, loader arms, and attachment tilt
to low speed.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• If the speed selector lever is moved while
the traction unit is in motion, the traction
unit will either stop suddenly or accelerate
quickly.
• If the traction unit is operated with the
speed 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 speed 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. 13), 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.
Note:The flow divider position (i.e., 9–12
o’clock) is determined when standing
in the normal operator’s position.
Figure 13 shows the flow divider from
the front.

•Move the flow divider control between the
twelve–o’clock and nine–o’clock positions to
slow the traction unit hydraulics and fine tune
the speed.
Use a setting in this range with attachments with
hydraulics where you need to both run the
attachment and move the traction unit
hydraulics, such as the auger, boring unit,
hydraulic blade, and tiller.
•Move the control to the nine–o’clock position to
transfer all hydraulic flow to the auxiliary
hydraulics of the attachment.
In this setting, the traction unit hydraulics will
not work. Use this setting with hydraulic
attachments that do not required the traction unit
hydraulics. There are currently no attachments
that require the nine–o’clock position; however,

Operation
the trencher does work best if you set it close to
nine–o’clock so that the traction unit will creep
slowly when trenching.
Note:The flow divider control can be fixed
in place by turning the knob on the
control clockwise until it contacts the
dial (Fig. 13).

Removing the front access cover, page 26.
Maintenance
IMPORTANT: Do not substitute automotive
oil or severe hydraulic system damage may
result.
5.Place a large drain pan under the traction unit
that can hold at least 17 gal. (67 l).
6.Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the
hydraulic tank and allow the fluid to completely
drain out.
7.Install the drain plug.
8.Fill the hydraulic tank with Toro Hy-Pro, Mobil
Fluid 424, or equivalent; refer to Checking the
Hydraulic Fluid, page 15.
Note:Dispose of used oil at a certified
recycling center.

the loader arms.
Checking Hydraulic Lines
After every 100 operating hours, check the hydraulic
lines and hoses for leaks, loose fittings, kinked lines,
loose mounting supports, wear, weather, and chemical
deterioration. Replace all moving hydraulic hoses
every 1500 hours or 2 years, which ever comes first.
Make necessary repairs before operating.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can penetrate skin and cause injury.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this form of
injury or gangrene may result.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Keep body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks, never use your hands.
Servicing
Check the electrolyte level in the battery every 100
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.

3.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.
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.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Charging the battery pr
oduces gasses.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Battery gasses can explode.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away
from the battery.
3.Install the filler caps after the battery is fully
charged.
4.Replace the battery cover.
2.Lift off the filler caps (Fig. 31).
3.Slowly pour distilled water into each battery cell
until the level is up to the lower part of the tube
(Fig. 31).
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, page 33.
Cleaning
and Storage
1.Lower the loader arms and stop the engine.
Remove the key.
2.Remove dirt and grime from the external parts of
the entire traction unit, especially the engine.
