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 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 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.
• 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, setting
the parking brake, and chocking the tracks.
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.

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.
