During the first 50 hours, perform the following guidelines to provide proper performance for the machine:

• 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.

• After using the machine, allow the engine to cool down for about 15 seconds before shutting the engine off.

• Ensure that the brakes are burnished; refer to Burnishing the Brakes.

• Check the fluid levels more often during this process.

• Vary the machine speed during operation and avoid fast accelerations.

• A break-in oil for the engine is not required. Original engine oil is the same type specified for regular oil changes.

Important: Do not attempt to push or tow the machine to get it started. Damage to the drive train could result.

1. Sit on the operator seat and ensure that the machine is in the P (PARK) position.

2. Rotate the key switch to the ON position.

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 bed is 0.45 m³ (15.9 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:

• Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or a truck.

• Use full-width ramps for loading the machine into a trailer or a truck.

• Tie the machine down securely.

Refer to Figure 74 and Figure 75 for the tie-down locations on the machine.

Note: Load the machine on the trailer with the front of the machine facing forward.

Figure 74

In case of an emergency, you can tow the machine for a short distance; however, this is not the standard operating procedure.

Note: The power steering may not function, making it difficult to steer.

Towing the machine is a 2-person job. If you must move the machine a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.

1. Affix a tow line to the tongue at the front of the frame of the machine (Figure 74).

2. Move the gear selector to the N (NEUTRAL) position.

The machine is capable of pulling trailers and attachments. Contact your authorized Toro distributor for the available tow hitches.

Your machine can tow trailers with a maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) up to 907 kg (2,000 lb).

Always load a trailer with approximately 60% of the trailer cargo weight toward the front of the trailer axle. Do not exceed 91 kg (200 lb) of tongue weight on the tow hitch of the machine.

When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload the machine or trailer. Overloading can cause poor performance or damage to the brakes, axle, engine, transaxle, steering, suspension, body structure, or tires.

Important: To reduce the potential for drive belt damage, use the L (LOW RANGE) position when towing.

1. Park the machine on a level surface.

2. Shift the transmission lever to the P (PARK) position.

3. Raise and empty the cargo bed.

4. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
