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 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 arm on a slope will affect the
stability of the machine. Whenever possible, keep the
loader arm 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. 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.
• Keep all movements on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Keep all parts in good working condition and all
hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged
decals.
• If any maintenance or repair requires the loader arm to
be in the raised position, secure the arm in the raised
position with the hydraulic cylinder lock.
• 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.

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 arm are
fully lowered; raised arm 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 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 15° slope, as listed in the
following table.

Before Operating
Before operating, check the fuel and oil level, and remove
debris from the traction unit. Also, ensure that the area is
clear of people and debris. You should also know and have
marked the locations of all utility lines.
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.
Adding Fuel
Danger
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 inch (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.
• 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.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower the
loader arm, and stop the engine.
2. Remove the key and allow the engine to cool.
3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove it (Fig. 5).
