Stability Data

T he follo wing tables list the maxim um slope recommended for the traction unit in the positions listed in the tables . Slopes o v er the listed deg ree ma y cause the traction unit to become unstable . T he data in the tables assume that the loader ar ms are fully lo w ered; raised ar ms ma y affect the stability .

In eac h attac hment man ual is a set of three stability ratings , one for eac h hill position. T o deter mine the maxim um slope y ou can tra v erse with the attac hment installed, ﬁnd the deg ree of slope that cor responds to the stability ratings of the attac hment. Example: If the attac hment installed on a TX 420 traction unit has a F ront Uphill rating of B , a R ear Uphill rating of D , and a Side Uphill rating of C , then y ou could dri v e forw ard up a 205 slope , rearw ard up a 125 slope , or sidew a ys on a 145 slope , as listed in the follo wing table for the TX 420 traction unit.

Operation

Note: Deter mine the left and right sides of the

mac hine from the nor mal operating position.

Important: Bef or e operating , check the fuel and oil lev el, and r emo v e de bris fr om the traction unit. Also, ensur e that the ar ea is clear of people and de bris. Y ou should also kno w and ha v e mar k ed the locations of all utility lines.

Adding Fuel

Use unleaded g asoline (87 pump octane minim um). Leaded, regular g asoline ma y be used if unleaded is not a v ailable .

In cer tain conditions, gasoline is extr emel y ﬂamma ble and highl y explosi v e. A ﬁr e or explosion fr om gasoline can bur n y ou and other s and can dama ge pr oper ty .

• Fill the fuel tank outdoor s, in an open ar ea, when the engine is cold. W ipe up an y gasoline that spills.

• Nev er ﬁll the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer .

In cer tain conditions during fueling , static electricity can be r eleased causing a spar k which can ignite the gasoline v apor s. A ﬁr e or explosion fr om gasoline can bur n y ou and other s and can dama ge pr oper ty .

• Al w ays place gasoline container s on the g r ound a w ay fr om y our v ehicle bef or e ﬁlling .

• Do not ﬁll gasoline container s inside a v ehicle or on a tr uck or trailer bed because interior car pets or plastic tr uck bed liner s may insulate the container and slo w the loss of an y static charge.

• W hen practical, r emo v e gas-po w er ed equipment fr om the tr uck or trailer and r efuel the equipment with its wheels on the g r ound.

• If this is not possible, then r efuel such equipment on a tr uck or trailer fr om a por ta ble container , rather than fr om a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, k eep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

• Do not ﬁll the fuel tank completel y full. Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the lev el is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) belo w the bottom of the ﬁller neck. T his empty space in the tank allo ws gasoline to expand.

• Nev er smok e when handling gasoline, and stay a w ay fr om an open ﬂame or wher e gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spar k.

• Stor e gasoline in an appr o v ed container and k eep it out of the r each of childr en. Nev er buy mor e than a 30-day suppl y of gasoline.

• Do not operate without entir e exhaust system in place and in pr oper w or king condition.

Important: Do not use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, or gasohol containing mor e than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be dama ged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Using Stabilizer/Conditioner

Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the traction unit to pro vide the follo wing beneﬁts:

• K ee ps g asoline fresh during storag e of 90 da ys or less . F or long er storag e it is recommended that the fuel tank be drained.

• Cleans the engine while it r uns

• Eliminates gum-lik e v ar nish buildup in the fuel

system, whic h causes hard star ting

Important: Do not use fuel additi v es containing methanol or ethanol.

Add the cor rect amount of g as stabilizer/conditioner to the g as .

Page 19

Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effecti v e when mix ed with fresh g asoline . T o minimize the c hance of v ar nish de posits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times .

Evaporative Emission Control Warranty Statement

California Evaporative Emission Control Warranty Statement

Your Warranty Rights and Obligations

Introduction

The California Air Resources Board and The Toro® Company are pleased to explain the evaporative emission control system’s warranty on your 2006 model year equipment. In California, new equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. The Toro® Company must warrant the evaporative emission control system on your equipment for two years provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your equipment.

Your evaporative emission control system may include parts such as: fuel lines, fuel line ttings, and clamps.

Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:

This evaporative emission control system is warranted for two years. If any evaporative emission-related part on your equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by The Toro® Company.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities:

• As the equipment owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operator’s Manual.

The Toro® Company recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your equipment, but The Toro® Company cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts.

• As the equipment owner, you should however be aware that The Toro® Company may deny you warranty coverage if your emission

warranty parts have failed due to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance or unapproved modications.

• You are responsible for presenting your equipment to an Authorized Service Dealer as soon as the problem exists. The warranty

repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact The Toro® Company at 1-952–948–4027 or call us toll free at the number listed in your Toro Warranty statement.

Defects Warranty Requirements:

1. The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.

2. General Evaporative Emissions Warranty Coverage. The emission warranty parts must be warranted to the ultimate purchaser and any subsequent owner that the evaporative emission control system when installed was:

A. Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations; and B. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that causes the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.

3. The warranty on evaporative emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows: A. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions must be

warranted for the warranty period of two years. If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be repaired or replaced by The Toro® Company. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for a time not less than the remaining warranty period.

B. Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions must be warranted for the warranty

period of two years. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” will not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for a time not less than the remaining warranty period.

C. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions must be warranted

for the period of time prior to the rst scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the rst scheduled replacement, the part must be repaired or replaced by The Toro® Company. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for a time not less than the remainder of the period prior to the rst scheduled replacement point for the part.

D. Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions of this article must be performed at no charge to

the owner at an Authorized Service Dealer.

E. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (D) above, warranty services or repairs must be provided at an Authorized

Service Dealer.

F. The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to the determination that a warranted part is in fact defective,

provided that such diagnostic work is performed at an Authorized Service Dealer.

G. Throughout the evaporative emission control system’s two year warranty period, The Toro® Company must maintain a supply

of warranted parts sufcient to meet the expected demand for such parts.

H. Manufacturer approved replacement parts must be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and must

be provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of The Toro® Company.

I. The use of any add-on or modied parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim made in accordance with this

article. The Toro® Company will not be liable under this Article to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of an add-on or modied part.

J. The Toro® Company shall provide any documents that describe the warranty procedures or policies within ve working

days of request by the Air Resources Board.

The following lists includes the parts covered under this warranty:
