moderate injury if the recommended precautions are not
followed.
Two other words are also used to highlight information.
Important calls attention to special mechanical
information, and Note emphasizes general information
worthy of special attention.
Safety
Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner
can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury,
comply with these safety instructions and always pay
attention to the safety alert symbol, which means
CAUTION, WARNING, or DANGER—“personal
safety instruction.” Failure to comply with the
instruction may result in personal injury or death.
Safe Operating Practices
This product is capable of amputating hands and feet.
Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious
injury or death.
• 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.
• 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.
Warning
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odorless, deadly poison that can kill you.
Do not run the 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.
• 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.
• 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.
3
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.
• 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 12, to determine whether the attachment
can be safely removed on the slope.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not operate on wet grass. Reduced traction could
cause sliding.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use extra care when handling fuel. It is flammable and
vapors are explosive.
• Use only an approved container.
• Never remove the fuel tank 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.
4
• 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.
• 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.

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 UphillRear UphillSide Uphill
Configuration
Traction unit without attachment7°20°17°
Traction unit with counterweight, without attachment5°21°17°
Traction unit with an attachment rated with one of the following
* 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.
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 an 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.
12
Adding Fuel
Danger
In certain conditions, fuel is flammable and
explosive. A fire or explosion 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 fuel that
spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
fuel 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 fuel
to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children. Never buy more
than a 30-day supply.
Draining Water from the Fuel
Filter
Drain water or other contaminants from the fuel filter
daily.
1. Stop the engine and remove the key.
2. Open the rear access cover; refer to Opening the Rear
Access Cover, page 25.
3. Turn the drain valve until the water runs out of the
filter (Fig. 6).
Note: The fuel filter is located near the bottom of the fuel
tank.
1
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 kerosene or gasoline in place of
diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage
the engine.
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 the cap.
4. Use a funnel and add diesel fuel to the fuel tank, until
the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 13 mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck.
Note: This space in the tank allows fuel to expand. Do not
fill the fuel tank completely full.
5. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any fuel that
may have spilled.
If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This will
minimize possible buildup of condensation inside the fuel
tank.

Auxiliary Hydraulics Lever
To operate a hydraulic attachment in a forward direction,
push the lever to the left, out of the neutral slot, and
slowly pull the auxiliary hydraulics lever rearward.
To operate a hydraulic attachment in reverse direction,
push the lever to the left, out of the neutral slot, and
slowly push the auxiliary hydraulics lever forward. You
can also set the lever so that the reverse hydraulics are on
without operator presence. To do so, move the lever
completely to the left and then forward until the lever
remains in the reverse position.
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.
17
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
the more hydraulic flow you divert to the auxiliary
hydraulics, the slower the traction unit hydraulics will
move.
1
2
5
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 every 75 hours thereafter (that is at 50,
125, 200, etc.) the hour meter displays SVC on the lower
left side of the screen to remind you to change the oil and
perform the required maintenance. After every 400 hours
(400, 800, 1200, etc.), the hour meter displays SVC on the
lower right side of the screen to remind you to perform the
maintenance procedures based on a 400 hour schedule.
These reminders come on starting three hours prior to the
service interval time and flash at regular intervals for six
hours.
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.
14), 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,

Figure 14
1. Flow divider control
2. Knob
3. 12 o’clock position
4. 10 to 11 o’clock position
5. 9 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.
Note: The flow divider control can be fixed in place by
turning the knob on the control clockwise until it contacts
the dial (Fig. 14).
