This manual uses two other words to highlight information. Important calls attention to special mechanical information and Note: emphasizes general

information worthy of special attention.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not operate the traction unit with any of the covers or guards removed.

• Check for overhead clearances (i.e. branches, doorways, electrical wires) before driving under any objects and do not contact them.

• Before digging, have the area marked for underground utilities, and do not dig in marked areas.

• Removing an attachment on a slope will make the rear of the traction unit heavy. Refer to the Stability Data section, page 12, 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 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.

• 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.

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 12, 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.

• 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.

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.

• Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks and flames away from the battery.

• 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 and disconnect the spark plug wires 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 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 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.

• 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 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.

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

when Operating with:

Front Uphill Rear Uphill Side Uphill

Configuration

Traction unit without attachment 8° 20° 17°

Traction unit with counterweight, without attachment 5° 21° 17°

Traction unit with an attachment rated with one of the following stability ratings for each slope position:*

A 25° 25° 20°

B 18° 19° 17°

C 15° 16° 14°

D 10° 10° 9°

E 5° 5° 5°

* 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 18° slope, rearward up a 10° slope, or sideways on a 14° slope, as listed in the above table.

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 Fuel

Danger

Important Never use methanol, gasoline containing

methanol, or gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Important Never use fuel additives containing

methanol or ethanol.

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.

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.

Use unleaded regular gasoline (87 pump octane minimum). Leaded regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not available.

3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove it.

4. Add unleaded regular gasoline the fuel tank, until the

level is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) 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.

Using Stabilizer/Conditioner

Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to provide the following benefits:

• Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less. For longer storage, drain the fuel tank.

• 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.

Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the gas.

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.

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.

3. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 5).

4. Pull out the dipstick and wipe the metal end clean

(Fig. 5).

5. Slide the dipstick fully into the dipstick tube (Fig. 5).

6. Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal end.

7. If the oil level is low, clean around the oil filler cap

and remove the cap (Fig. 5).

8. Slowly pour only enough oil into the valve cover to raise the level to the F (full) mark.

Important Do not overfill the crankcase with oil

because the engine may be damaged.

9. Replace the filler cap and dipstick.

6. Remove and store the cylinder locks (refer to Using the Cylinder Locks, page 18), and lower the loader arms.

Checking the Hydraulic Fluid

Check the hydraulic fluid level before the engine is first started and after every 25 operating hours.

Hydraulic Tank Capacity: 17.25 gal. (67 l)

Hydraulic Fluid: 10W-30 or 15W-40 detergent, diesel

engine oil (API service CH-4 or higher).

1. Remove the attachment, if one is installed; refer to Removing an Attachment, page 20.

Removing Debris from the Traction Unit

Important Operating the engine with a blocked grass

screen, dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or cooling shrouds removed, will result in engine damage from overheating.

1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, raise the loader arms, and install the cylinder locks; refer to Using the Cylinder Locks, page 18.

2. Stop the engine and remove the key.

3. Clean any debris from the grill before each use and/or

during use, if required.

2. Park the traction unit on a level surface, raise the loader arms, and install the cylinder locks; refer to Using the Cylinder Locks, page 18.

3. Stop the engine and remove the key.

4. Clean the area around the filler neck of the hydraulic

tank (Fig. 6).

5. Remove the cap from the filler neck and check the fluid level on the dipstick (Fig. 6).

6. If the level is low, add enough fluid to raise it to the proper level.

7. Install the cap on the filler neck.

8. Remove and store the cylinder locks (refer to Using

the Cylinder Locks, page 18) and lower the loader arms.

4. Wipe away debris from the air cleaner before each use and/or during use, if required.

5. Clean any debris build–up on the engine with a brush or blower before each use.

Important It is preferable to blow dirt out, rather than

washing it out. If water is used, keep it away from electrical items and hydraulic valves. Do not use a high-pressure washer. High–pressure washing can damage the electrical system and hydraulic valves or deplete grease.

Tire pressure

Maintain the air pressure in the tires as specified. Check the tires when they are cold to get the most accurate reading.

Pressure: 15–20 psi

Note: Use a lower tire pressure (15 psi) when operating in sandy soil conditions to provide better traction in the loose soil.

Traction Control Levers

To move forward, move the traction control levers forward. To move rearward, move the traction control levers rearward.

To go straight, move both traction control levers equally.

To turn, move the lever located on the side you want to turn back toward the neutral position while keeping the other lever engaged.

The farther you move the traction control levers in either direction, the faster the traction unit will move in that direction.

To slow or stop, move the traction control levers to neutral.

Attachment Tilt Lever

To tilt the attachment forward, slowly push the attachment tilt lever forward.

To tilt the attachment rearward, slowly pull the attachment tilt lever rearward.

Key Switch

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 fully forward. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the engine running smoothly. As soon as possible, move the choke lever rearward as far as possible. A warm engine requires little or no choking.

Loader Arm Lever

To lower the loader arms, slowly push the loader arm lever forward.

To raise the loader arms, slowly pull the loader arm lever rearward.

Auxiliary Hydraulics Lever

To operate a hydraulic attachment in forward direction, slowly pull the auxiliary hydraulics lever rearward.

To operate a hydraulic attachment in reverse direction, slowly push the auxiliary hydraulics lever forward. This is also called the detent position because it does not require operator presence.

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.

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.

Warning

If you move the speed selector lever while the traction unit is in motion, the traction unit will either stop suddenly or accelerate quickly. If you operate the traction unit with the speed selector lever in an intermediate position, the traction unit will operate erratically and may be damaged. You could lose control of the traction unit and injure bystanders or yourself.

• 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).

Hour Meter

The hour meter displays the number of hours of operation that have been logged on the traction unit.

After 50 hours and then every 100 hours thereafter (that is at 150, 250, 350, etc.) the screen displays CHG OIL to remind you to change the oil. After every 100 hours, the screen displays SVC to remind you to perform the other maintenance procedures based on a 100, 200, or 400 hour schedule. These reminders come on starting three hours prior to the service interval time and flash at regular intervals for six hours.

2. Knob

3. 12 o’clock position

• Move the flow divider control to the twelve o’clock position to provide maximum speed to the traction unit hydraulics.

Use this setting for fast operation of the traction unit.

• 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, the trencher does work best if you set it close to nine o’clock so that the traction unit will creep slowly when trenching.

4. 10 to 11 o’clock position

5. 9 o’clock position

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.

10), 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 control can be fixed in place by turning the knob on the control clockwise until it contacts the dial (Fig. 10).

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Starting the Engine

1. Stand on the platform.

2. Move the auxiliary hydraulics valve lever to neutral.

3. Move the throttle lever midway between slow (turtle)

and fast (rabbit) positions.

4. Move the choke lever fully forward before starting a cold engine.

Note: A warm or hot engine may not require choking.

5. Turn the ignition key to the start position. When the engines starts, release the key.

Important Do not engage the starter for more than 10

seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start, allow a 30 second cool-down period between attempts. Failure to follow these instructions can burn out the starter motor.

6. After the engine starts, gradually move the choke to rearward. If the engine stalls or hesitates, move the choke forward again until the engine warms up.

7. Move the throttle lever to desired setting.

Important If the engine is run at high speeds when the

hydraulic system is cold (i.e., when the ambient air temperature is around freezing or lower), hydraulic system damage could occur. When starting the engine in cold conditions, allow the engine to run in the middle throttle position for 2 to 5 minutes before moving the throttle to fast (rabbit).

Note: The farther you move the traction control levers in either direction, the faster the traction unit will move in that direction.

Stopping the Traction Unit

To stop the traction unit, move the traction control levers to neutral and the throttle lever to slow (turtle), lower loader arms to the ground, and turn the ignition key off to stop the engine. Remove the key.
