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 10, and those in the attachment
operator ’s manual. See also the slope chart on page 6.
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.
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 10, 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. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
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.
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 controls; use a steady motion.
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing
roadways.
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 the traction
unit loses traction, proceed slowly, straight down the
slope.
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 track 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 setting the parking brake.
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.
Use extra care when handling gasoline and other fuels.
They are flammable and vapors are explosive.
Use only an approved container.
Never remove the gas cap or add fuel when the
engine is running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke.
Maintenance and Storage
Disengage the auxiliary hydraulics, lower the
attachment, set the parking brake, stop the engine, and remove the key. Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning, or repairing.
Clean debris from attachments, drives, mufflers, and
engine to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
Let the engine cool before storing and do not store
near flame.
Do not store fuel near flames or drain indoors.
Park the machine on level ground. Never allow
untrained personnel to service the machine.
Use jack stands to support components when required.
Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
Disconnect the battery or remove the spark plug wires
before making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and negative last.
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If
possible, do not make adjustments with the engine running.
Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away
from spark and flames. Unplug the charger before connecting or disconnecting it from the battery. Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools.
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.
Use only genuine Toro 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; never use your hands. 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 all parts in good working condition and all
hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged decals.

Attachments
Many attachments are available for use with the traction unit. These attachments allow you to to perform many different functions with the traction unit such as hauling materials, digging holes, grading, and more. Contact your Toro dealer for a list of all approved attachments and accessories.
Important Use only Toro-approved attachments.
Stability Data
The following tables list the maximum slope recommended for the traction unit in the positions listed in the tables. Slopes over the listed degree may cause the traction unit to become unstable. The data in the tables assume that the loader arms are fully lowered; raised arms may affect the stability.
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 stability ratings of the attachment. Example: If the attachment installed on a TX 420 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 20° slope, rearward up a 12° slope, or sideways on a 14° slope, as listed in the following table for the TX 420 traction unit.

Danger
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the gas.
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle
or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.
When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when
mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower the
loader arms, and stop the engine.
2. Remove the key and allow the engine to cool.
3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove it.
4. Add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank, until the level
is just below the bottom of the filler neck.
Important This space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
5. Install the fuel tank cap securely.
6. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.
Checking the Oil Level
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower the
loader arms, and stop the engine.
2. Remove the key and allow the engine to cool.

Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the traction unit to provide the following benefits:
Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less.
For longer storage it is recommended that the fuel tank be drained.
Cleans the engine while it runs
Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel
system, which causes hard starting
Important Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.

Key Switch
Loader Arm/Attachment Tilt Lever
The key switch, used to start and stop the engine, has three positions: off, run, and start.
To start the engine, rotate the key to the start position. Release the key when engine starts and it will move automatically to the run position.
To stop the engine, rotate the key to the off position.
Throttle Lever
Move the control forward to increase the engine speed and rearward to decrease speed.
Choke Lever
Before starting a cold engine, move the choke lever forward. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the engine running smoothly. As soon as possible, move the choke lever all the way rearward.
Note: A warm engine requires little or no choking.
Reference Bar
When driving the traction unit, use the reference bar as a handle and a leverage point for controlling the traction control and the auxiliary hydraulics lever. To ensure smooth, controlled operation, do not take both hands off of the reference bar while operating the traction unit.
Traction Control
To move forward, move the traction control forward. To move rearward, move the traction control rearward (Fig. 9).
To tilt the attachment forward, slowly move the lever to the right (Fig. 10).
To tilt the attachment rearward, slowly move the lever to the left (Fig. 10).
To lower the loader arms, slowly move the lever forward (Fig. 10).
To raise the loader arms, slowly move the lever rearward (Fig. 10).
You can also push the lever fully forward into a detent position (Fig. 10) to release the loader arms so that the attachment rests on the ground. This allows attachments such as the leveler and the hydraulic blade to follow the contours of the ground (i.e., float) when grading.

Figure 13
To release the brake, pull the lever rearward and right, out of the notch, and then push it forward.
To operate a hydraulic attachment in the forward direction, rotate the auxiliary hydraulics lever rearward and pull it down to the reference bar (Fig. 12, number 2).
To operate a hydraulic attachment in reverse direction, rotate the hydraulics lever rearward, then move it left into the upper slot (Fig. 12, number 3).
To operate the auxiliary hydraulics in the reverse direction using a detent position, rotate the lever rearward, then move it left into the middle slot (Fig. 12, Number 4). Only use the detent position for attachments that require it for operation, such as the Cement Bowl. To determine if an attachment requires the detent position, refer to the attachment operator’s manual.
If you release the lever while in either the forward position or upper reverse position, the lever will automatically return to the neutral position (Fig. 12, Number 1). If it is in the detent position, it will remain there until you pull it out of the slot.
