• Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place. If a shield, safety device or decal is malfunctioning, illegible, or damaged, repair or replace it before operating the machine.

• Avoid driving when it is dark, especially in unfamiliar areas. If you must drive when it is dark, be sure to drive cautiously, use the headlights.

• Before operating the machine, always check all parts of the machine and any attachments. If something is wrong, stop using the machine. Make sure that the problem is corrected before you operate the machine or attachment again.

• Operate the machine only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

• To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling fuel. Fuel is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.

• Do not smoke near the machine.

• Use only an approved nonmetal, portable fuel container.

• Static electric discharge can ignite fuel vapors in a fuel container that is not grounded. Never fill containers inside a machine or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Remove the fuel container from the bed of the machine and place it on the ground and away from the machine before filling.

• Keep the nozzle in contact with the container while filling the fuel container. Remove equipment from the bed of the machine before fueling it. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running.

• Allow engine to cool before refueling.

• Never refuel the machine indoors.

• Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water heater or on other appliances.

• Remove equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment with a portable container rather than from a fuel-dispenser nozzle.

• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

• Never overfill the fuel tank. Replace the fuel cap and tighten it securely.

• The operator and passenger must use seat belts and remain seated whenever the machine is in motion. Keep both hands on the steering wheel, whenever possible, and the passenger should use the handholds provided. Keep your arms and legs within the machine body at all times. Never carry passengers in the box or on attachments. Remember, your passenger may not be expecting you to brake or turn, and may not be ready.

• Never overload the machine. The name plate (located under the middle of the dash) shows the load limits for the machine. Never overfill attachments or exceed the machine maximum gross vehicle weight (GVW).

• When starting the engine:

  1. Sit on the operator’s seat and engage the parking brake.

  2. Disengage the PTO and high-flow hydraulics (if equipped) and move the hand-throttle lever to the OFF position (if equipped).

  3. Move the shift lever to the NEUTRAL position and press the clutch pedal.

  4. Ensure that the hydraulic-lift lever is in the center position.

  5. Keep your foot off the accelerator pedal.

  6. Rotate the key switch to the ON position.

     Note: When the glow-plug-indicator light turns on, the engine is ready to start.

  7. Rotate the key switch to the START position.

  Note: The glow-plug indicator turns on for an additional 15 seconds when the switch returns to the RUN position.

  Note: Do not run the starter motor more than 10 seconds at a time or premature starter failure may result. If engine fails to start after 10 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position. Check the controls and starting procedure, wait 10 additional seconds, and repeat the starting operation.

• Failure to operate machine safely may result in an accident, tipping over the machine, and/or serious injury or death. To prevent tipping or loss of control, take the following precautions:

  • Use extreme caution, reduce your speed, and maintain a safe distance around sand traps, ditches, creeks, ramps, any unfamiliar areas, or other hazards.

  • Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.

  • Use caution when operating the machine on a slope. Normally, travel straight up and down slopes. Reduce your speed when making sharp turns or when turning on hillsides. Avoid turning on hillsides whenever possible.

  • Use extra caution when operating the machine on wet surfaces, at higher speeds, or with a full load. Stopping time increases with a full load. Shift into a lower gear before starting up or down a hill.

  • When loading the bed, distribute the load evenly. Use extra caution if the load exceeds the dimensions of the machine/bed. Operate the machine with extra caution when handling off-center loads that cannot be centered. Keep loads balanced and secure to prevent them from shifting.

  • Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from reverse to forward or forward to reverse without first coming to a complete stop.

  • Do not attempt sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers or other unsafe driving actions that may cause a loss of machine control.

  • When dumping, do not let anyone stand behind the machine, and do not dump the load on anyone’s feet. Release the tailgate latches from the side of box, not from behind.

  • Keep all bystanders away. Before backing up, look to the rear and ensure that no one is behind the machine. Back up slowly.

  • Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads. Always yield the right of way to pedestrians and other machines. This machine is not designed for use on streets or highways. Always signal your turns or stop early enough so other persons know what you plan to do. Obey all traffic rules and regulations.

  • Never operate the machine in or near an area where there is dust or fumes in the air which are explosive. The electrical and exhaust systems of the machine can produce sparks capable of igniting explosive materials.

  • Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs such as tree limbs, door jambs, overhead walkways, etc. Make sure that there is enough room over head to easily clear the machine and your head.

  • If you are ever unsure about safe operation, stop work, and ask your supervisor.

• Do not touch the engine, transaxle, radiator, muffler, or muffler manifold while the engine is running or soon after it has stopped, because these areas may be hot enough to cause burns.

• If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop immediately, shut off the engine, wait for all motion to stop, and inspect for damage. Repair all damage before resuming operation.

• Before getting off the seat:

  1. Stop the movement of the machine.

  2. Engage the parking brake.

  3. Shut off the engine and remove the key.

     Note: If the machine is on an incline, block the wheels after getting off the machine.

• Lightning can cause severe injury or death. If lightning is seen, do not operate the machine; seek shelter.

• Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the machine, and remove the key to prevent accidental starting of the machine.

• Never work under a raised bed without placing the bed safety support on the fully extended cylinder rod.

• Make sure that all hydraulic-line connectors are tight, and that all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.

• Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be relieved by shutting off the engine, cycling the dump valve from raise to lower and/or lowering box and attachments. Place the remote hydraulics lever in the float position. If the box must be in raised position, secure it with the safety support.

• To make sure that the entire machine is in good condition, keep all nuts, bolts, and screws properly tightened.

• To reduce the potential fire hazard, keep the engine area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and accumulation of dirt.

• If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and any parts of the body away from the engine and any moving parts. Keep everyone away.

• Do not overspeed the engine by changing the governor settings. The maximum engine speed is 3,650 rpm. To ensure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro Distributor check the maximum engine speed with a tachometer.

• If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is required, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.

• To be sure of optimum performance and safety, always purchase genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by other manufacturers could be dangerous. Altering this machine in any manner may affect the operation of the machine, performance, durability or its use may result in injury or death. Such use could void the product warranty of The Toro® Company.

• The ROPS is an integral and effective safety device. Use the seat belt when operating the machine with the ROPS.

• Be certain that you can release the seat belt quickly in the event of an emergency.

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

• Keep the ROPS in safe-operating condition by periodically inspecting for damage and keeping all mounting fasteners tight.

• Replace a damaged ROPS. Do not repair or revise.

• Do not remove the ROPS.

• Any alterations to a ROPS must be approved by the manufacturer.

This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra low sulfur. Observe the following precautions:

• The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.

• The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM D975 or EN590.

• Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.

• Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold weather.

• Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as they may be degraded over time.

• Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time after converting to biodiesel blends.

• Contact your distributor if you wish for more information on biodiesel.

1. Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap.

2. Remove the fuel-tank cap (Figure 18).

   

   Figure 18

   1. Fuel-tank cap

3. Fill the tank slightly below the top of the tank, (bottom of the filler neck), then install the cap.

   Note: Do not overfill the fuel tank with fuel.

4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent a fire hazard.

• OFF Position

  This is the normal position for the control valve when it is not in use. In this position, the work ports of the control valve are blocked and any load is held by the check valves in both directions.

• RAISE (Quick Coupler “A) Position

  This is the position which lifts the bed, and rear hitch attachment, or applies pressure to the quick coupler A. This also allows hydraulic fluid to return from quick coupler B to flow back into the valve and then out to the reservoir. This is a momentary position, and when you release the lever, it spring returns to the center, OFF position.

  

  Figure 31

  1. Quick coupler A position
  2. Quick coupler B position

• LOWER (Quick Coupler “B) Position

  This position lowers the bed, rear hitch attachment, or apply pressure to quick coupler B. This also allows hydraulic fluid to return from quick coupler A to flow back into the valve and then out to the reservoir. This is a momentary position, and when you release the lever, it spring returns to the center-off position. Momentarily holding and then releasing the control lever in this position provides hydraulic-fluid flow to quick coupler B, which provides power down on the rear hitch. When you release it, it holds the down pressure on the hitch.

  Important: If you use it with a hydraulic cylinder, holding the control lever in the lower position causes the hydraulic-fluid flow to go over a relief valve which can damage the hydraulic system.

• ON Position

  This position is similar to Lower (quick coupler B position). It also directs hydraulic fluid to quick coupler B except that the lever is held in this position by a detent lever in the control panel. This allows hydraulic fluid to flow continuously to equipment that uses a hydraulic motor. Use this position only on attachments with a hydraulic motor attached.

  Important: If you use it with a hydraulic cylinder or no attachment, the ON position causes the hydraulic-fluid flow to go over a relief valve, which can damage the hydraulic system. Use this position only momentarily or with a motor attached.

  Important: Check the hydraulic-fluid level after installation of an attachment. Check the operation of the attachment by cycling the attachment several times to purge air from the system, then check hydraulic-fluid level again. The attachment cylinder slightly affects the fluid level in the transaxle. Operating the machine with a low hydraulic-fluid level can damage the pump, remote hydraulics, power steering, and the machine transaxle.

Important: Clean dirt from quick couplers before connecting them. Dirty couplers can introduce contamination into the hydraulic system.

1. Pull back the locking ring on the coupler.

2. Insert the hose nipple into the coupler until it snaps into position.

Note: When attaching remote equipment to the quick couplers, determine which side requires pressure, then attach that hose to quick coupler B, which has pressure when you push the control lever forward or locked in the ON position.

Note: With both the machine and attachment turned off, move the lift lever back and forth to remove the system pressure and ease the disconnection of the quick couplers.

1. Pull back the locking ring on the coupler.

2. Pull the hose firmly from the coupler.

   Important: Clean and install the dust plug and dust covers to the quick coupler ends when not in use.

• Difficulty in connecting or disconnecting quick couplers.

  The pressure not relieved (the quick coupler is under pressure).

• The power steering is turning with great difficulty or it is not turning at all.

  • The hydraulic-fluid level is low.

  • The hydraulic-fluid temperature is hot.

  • The pump is not operating.

Note: Many hydraulic fluids are almost colorless, making it difficult to spot leaks. A red dye additive for the hydraulic system fluid is available in 20 ml (0.67 oz) bottles. A bottle is sufficient for 15 to 22 L (4 to 6 US gallons) of hydraulic fluid. Order Part No. 44-2500 from your authorized Toro distributor.

Note: If the fluid becomes contaminated, contact your local Toro distributor because the system must be flushed. Contaminated fluid may look milky or black when compared to clean fluid. The service interval may need to be increased if using multiple attachments as the fluid may become contaminated quicker with the mixing of different hydraulic fluids.

1. Clean the area around the high-flow-filter mounting area (Figure 75).

2. Place a drain pan under the filter and remove the filter.

   Note: If the fluid is not going to be drained, disconnect and plug the hydraulic line going to the filter.

3. Lubricate the new filter-sealing gasket and hand turn the filter onto the filter head until the gasket contacts the filter head. Then tighten it 3/4 turn further. The filter should now be sealed.

4. Fill the hydraulic reservoir with approximately 15 L (4 US gallons) of hydraulic fluid.

5. Start the machine and run it at idle for about 2 minutes to circulate the fluid and remove any air trapped in the system.

6. Stop the machine and check the fluid level.

7. Verify the fluid level.

8. Dispose of the fluid properly.
