Reverse Tow Kit

The following steps are standard for kit installation; follow them as closely as the individual situation allows.

1. Park the machine on a level surface.

2. Engage the parking brake.

3. Lower the cutting unit.

4. Shut off the engine and remove the key.

Parts needed for this procedure:

1. Install the straight fittings to the end of the hose as shown in Figure 1.

   Note: Ensure the O-rings are on the fittings and lubricated with hydraulic oil.

3. Remove the plug from the port in the rear traction manifold (Figure 3). Discard this plug.

4. Install the hose to the port in the hydraulic line under the filter on the right side of the machine (Figure 2).

9. After the towing, remove the hose from the manifold and the port near the filter.

10. Install the new hydraulic plug into the port in the rear traction manifold. Torque the plug to 34 N∙m (25 ft-lb).

    Note: This hydraulic plug is a one-time use plug. If you need more, order them from your authorized Toro distributor.
