Tire air pressure specification: 55 to 103 kPa (8 to 22 psi)
Important: Do not exceed the maximum air pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
Note: The air pressure needed in the tires is determined by the payload that you intend to carry.
Check the air pressure in the tires.
Note: The air pressure in the front and rear tires should be between 55 to 103 kPa (8 to 22 psi).
Use lower air pressure in the tires for lighter payloads, for less soil compaction, for a smoother ride, and to minimize tire marks on the ground.
Use higher air pressure in the tires for carrying heavier payloads at higher speeds.
If necessary, adjust the air pressure in the tires by adding or removing air in the tires.
The engine runs on clean, fresh diesel fuel with a minimum cetane rating of 40. Purchase fuel in quantities that you can use within 30 days to ensure fuel freshness.
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter grade diesel fuel (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below -7°C (20°F). 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.
Using summer-grade diesel fuel above -7°C (20°F) contributes toward longer life of the fuel-pump components.
Important: Never use kerosene or gasoline in place of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage the engine.
Fuel-tank capacity: 26.5 L (7 US gallons)
Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap.
Remove the fuel-tank cap (Figure 12).
Fill the tank to approximately 25 mm (1 inch) below the bottom of the filler neck and install the cap.
Note: Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Install the fuel-tank cap securely.

Perform the following guidelines to provide proper performance for the machine.
Ensure that the brakes are burnished; refer to Burnishing the Brakes.
Check the fluid and engine-oil levels regularly. Remain alert for signs that the machine or its components are overheating.
After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about 15 seconds before using the machine.
Note: Allow more time for the engine to warm up when operating in cold temperatures.
Vary the machine speed during operation. Avoid fast starts and quick stops.
A break-in oil for the engine is not required. Original engine oil is the same type specified for regular oil changes.
Refer to for any special, low-hour checks.
Check the front suspension positioning and adjust it, if necessary; refer to Adjusting the Front Wheel Alignment.
The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible for accidents that may cause personal injury or property damage.
Passengers should sit in the designated seating positions only. Do not carry passengers in the cargo bed. Keep bystanders and children out of the operating area.
Wear appropriate clothing, including eye protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose jewelry.
Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur.
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Operate the machine outdoors or in a well-ventilated area only.
Do not exceed the maximum gross vehicle weight (GVW) of the machine.
Use extra caution when operating, braking, or turning the machine with a heavy load in the cargo bed.
Carrying oversized loads in the cargo bed reduces the stability of the machine. Do not exceed the carrying capacity of the bed.
Carrying material that cannot be bound to the machine adversely affects the steering, braking, and stability of the machine. When you carry material that cannot be bound to the machine, use caution when steering or braking.
Carry a reduced load and reduce the ground speed of the machine when operating on rough, uneven terrain, and near curbs, holes, and other sudden changes in terrain. Loads may shift, causing the machine to become unstable.
Before you start the machine, ensure that the transmission is in neutral, the parking brake is engaged, and you are in the operating position.
You and your passengers should remain seated whenever the machine is moving. Keep your hands on the steering wheel; your passengers should use the handholds provided. Keep arms and legs within the machine body at all times.
Operate the machine only in good visibility. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.
Do not drive the machine near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge gives way.
Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs such as tree limbs, door jambs, overhead walkways, etc.
Look behind and down before reversing the machine to be sure of a clear path.
When using the machine on public roads, follow all traffic regulations and use any additional accessories that may be required by law, such as lights, turn signals, slow-moving vehicle (SMV) signs, and others as required.
If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop and shut off the machine immediately, wait for all movement to stop, and inspect for damage. Repair all damage to the machine before resuming operation.
It can take longer to stop the machine on wet surfaces than on dry surfaces. To dry out wet brakes, drive slowly on a level surface while putting light pressure on the brake pedal.
Operating the machine at high speed and then quickly stopping may cause the rear wheels to lock up, which impairs your control of the machine.
Do not touch the engine, transmission, muffler, or muffler manifold while the engine is running, or soon after you shut off the engine, because these areas may be hot enough to cause burns.
Do not leave a running machine unattended.
Before you leave the operating position, do the following:
Park the machine on a level surface.
Shift the transmission to the NEUTRAL position.
Engage the parking brake.
Shut off the machine and remove the key.
Wait for all movement to stop.
Do not operate the machine when there is the risk of lightning.
Use accessories and attachments approved by The Toro® Company only.
Note: A 2-post Rollover Protection System (ROPS) is available for this machine as an accessory. Use a ROPS if you will work next to drop-offs, near water, in rough terrain, or on a slope, which could result in a rollover. Contact an authorized Toro distributor for more information.
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
Survey the site to determine which slopes are safe for operating the machine and establish your own procedures and rules for operating on those slopes. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this survey.
If you feel uneasy operating the machine on a slope, do not do it.
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not suddenly change the speed or direction of the machine.
Avoid operating the machine on wet terrain. Tires may lose traction. A rollover can occur before the tires lose traction.
Travel straight up and down a slope.
If you begin to lose momentum while climbing a slope, gradually engage the brakes and slowly reverse the machine straight down the slope.
Turning while going up or down a slope can be dangerous. If you must turn on a slope, do it slowly and cautiously.
Heavy loads affect stability on a slope. Carry a reduced load and reduce your ground speed when operating on a slope or if the load has a high center of gravity. Secure the load to the cargo bed of the machine to prevent the load from shifting. Take extra care when hauling loads that shift easily (e.g., liquids, rock, sand, etc.).
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on a slope, especially with a load. Stopping while going down a slope takes longer than stopping on level ground. If you must stop the machine, avoid sudden speed changes, which can cause the machine to tip or roll over. Do not engage the brakes suddenly when rolling rearward, as this may cause the machine to overturn.
Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight (GVW) of the machine when operating it with a load in the cargo bed and/or towing a trailer; refer to Specifications.
Distribute the load in the cargo bed evenly to improve the stability and control of the machine.
Before dumping, ensure that there is no one behind the machine.
Do not dump a loaded cargo bed while the machine is sideways on a slope. The change in weight distribution may cause the machine to overturn.
A raised bed could fall and injure persons that are working beneath it.
Always use the prop rod to hold the bed up before working under the bed.
Remove any load material from the bed before raising it.
Driving the machine with the cargo bed raised could cause the machine to tip or roll easier. You could damage the structure of the cargo bed if you operate the machine with the bed raised.
Operate the machine when the cargo bed is down.
After emptying the cargo bed, lower it.
If a load is concentrated near the back of the cargo bed when you release the latches, the bed may unexpectedly tip open, injuring you or bystanders.
Center loads in the cargo bed, if possible.
Hold the cargo bed down and ensure that no one is leaning over the bed or standing behind it when releasing the latches.
Remove all cargo from the bed before lifting the bed up to service the machine.
The weight of the bed may be heavy. Hands or other body parts could be crushed.
Keep your hands and other body parts clear when lowering the bed.
If you unloaded loose material such as sand, landscaping rock, or wood chips from the cargo bed of the machine, some of the material that you unloaded may have lodged in the hinge area of the tailgate. Perform the following before closing the tailgate.
Use your hands to remove as much of the material from the hinge area as possible.
Rotate the tailgate to approximately the 45° position (Figure 16).
Use a short, shaking motion to rotate the tailgate back and forth several times (Figure 16).
Note: This action helps move material away from the hinge area.
Lower the tailgate and check for material remaining in the hinge area.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the material is removed from the hinge area.
Rotate the tailgate up and forward until the lock flanges of the tailgate are flush with the tailgate pocket in the cargo bed (Figure 15).
Note: Raise or lower the tailgate in order to align the lock flanges of the tailgate with the vertical openings between the tailgate flanges of the cargo bed.
Lower the tailgate until it is seated in the back of the cargo bed (Figure 15).
Note: The lock flanges of the tailgate are fully secured by the tailgate flanges of the cargo bed.
Important: Do not attempt to push or tow the machine to get it started.
Sit in the operator's seat, insert the key into the key switch, press down on the brake, and rotate the key clockwise to the ON position.
Note: If the backup alarm is installed and the gear-shift selector is in the REVERSE position, the buzzer sounds to warn the operator.
When the glow-plug-indicator light turns off, rotate the key clockwise to the START position.
When the engine starts, turn the key counterclockwise to the RUN position.
Disengage the parking brake.
Important: When stopping the machine on an incline, use the service brakes to stop the machine and engage the parking brake to hold the machine in place. Using the accelerator to stall the machine on the hill can damage the machine.
Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Slowly press the brake pedal to apply the service brakes until the machine comes to a complete stop.
Note: The stopping distance may vary depending on the machine load and speed.
Park the machine on a level surface.
Engage the parking brake.
Rotate the key switch to the OFF position and remove the key.
Use the following guidelines when loading the cargo bed and operating the machine:
Observe the weight capacity of the machine and limit the weight of the load that you carry in the cargo bed as described in Specifications and on the gross vehicle weight tag of the machine.
Note: The load rating is specified for machine operation on a level surface only.
Reduce the weight of the load that you carry in the cargo bed when operating the machine on hills and rough terrain.
Reduce the weight of the load that you carry when the materials are tall (and have a high center of gravity), such as a stack of bricks, landscaping timbers, or fertilizer bags. Distribute the load as low as possible to ensure that the load does not reduce your ability to see behind the machine when operating it.
Keep loads centered by loading the cargo bed as follows:
Evenly position the weight in the cargo bed from side to side.
Important: Tipping over is more likely to occur if the cargo bed is loaded to 1 side.
Evenly position the weight in the cargo bed from front to back.
Important: Loss of steering control or the machine may tip over if you position the load behind the rear axle and the traction on the front tires is reduced.
Use extra caution when transporting oversized loads in the cargo bed, particularly when you cannot center the weight of the oversize load to the cargo bed.
Whenever possible, secure the load by binding it to the cargo bed so that it does not shift.
When transporting liquids, use caution when driving the machine uphill or downhill, when suddenly changing speed or stopping, or when driving over rough surfaces.
The capacity of the cargo box is 0.37 m3 (13 ft3). The amount (volume) of material that you can place in the bed without exceeding the load ratings of the machine can vary greatly depending on the density of the material.
Refer to the following table for load volume limits with various materials:
Material | Density | Maximum Cargo Box Capacity(on level ground) |
Gravel, dry | 1522 kg/m3 (95 lb/ft3) | Full |
Gravel, wet | 1922 kg/m3 (120 lb/ft3) | 3/4 Full |
Sand, dry | 1442 kg/m3 (90 lb/ft3) | Full |
Sand, wet | 1922 kg/m3 (120 lb/ft3) | 3/4 Full |

Refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 for the tie-down locations on the machine.
Note: Load the machine on the trailer with the front of the machine facing forward. If that is not possible, secure the machine hood to the frame with a strap, or remove the hood and transport and secure it separately or the hood may blow off during transport.
In case of an emergency, you can tow the machine for a short distance; however, this should not be a standard operating procedure.
Towing at excessive speeds could cause a loss of steering control, resulting in personal injury.
Never tow the machine at faster than 8 km/h (5 mph).
Towing the machine is a 2-person job. If you must move the machine a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer; refer to Towing a Trailer
Remove the drive belt from the machine; refer to Replacing the Drive Belt.
Affix a tow line to the tongue at the front of the machine frame (Figure 17).
Move the transmission to the NEUTRAL position and disengage the parking brake.
The machine is capable of pulling trailers. A tow hitch is available for the machine. Contact your Authorized Service Dealer for details.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload your machine or trailer. Overloading either the machine or the trailer can cause poor performance or damage to the brakes, axle, engine, transaxle, steering, suspension, body structure, or tires.
Always load a trailer with 60% of the cargo weight in the front of the trailer. This places approximately 10% of the gross trailer weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of the machine.
To provide adequate braking and traction, always load the cargo bed when using a trailer. Do not exceed the GTW or GVW limits.
Avoid parking a machine with a trailer on a hill. If you must park on a hill, engage the parking brake, and chock the tires of the trailer.

Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key.
Raise the cargo bed and secure it with the prop rod.
Shift the transmission to the NEUTRAL position.
Rotate and inspect the belt (Figure 56) for signs of excessive wear or damage.
Note: Replace the belt if it is excessively worn or damaged; refer to Replacing the Drive Belt.
Lower the cargo bed.
Raise the cargo bed.
Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL, engage the parking brake, rotate the key switch to the OFF position, and remove the key.
Rotate and route the belt over the secondary clutch (Figure 56).
Remove the belt from the primary clutch (Figure 56).
Note: Discard the old belt.
Align the new belt over the primary clutch (Figure 56).
Rotate and route the belt over the secondary clutch (Figure 56).
Lower the cargo bed.
Note: Check the belt-pull bumper only when troubleshooting vibration, performing a rebuild, or experiencing an engine-mount failure.
The belt-pull bumper (Figure 57) should maintain a gap of 2.2 mm (0.09 inches).
If the bumper is too close to the engine bracket, the belt causes excessive vibration; if the bumper is too far from the engine bracket, the belt causes harmful engine stress.
To adjust the gap, loosen the 3 flanged-head bolts securing the bracket to the frame and slide the bracket the appropriate distance.
Once the gap is correct, tighten the 3 flanged-head bolts.
If the cargo-bed latch is out of adjustment, the cargo bed vibrates up and down as you drive the machine. You can adjust the latch posts to make the latches hold the cargo bed snugly to the chassis.
