Low tire pressure decreases the side-hill stability of the machine. This could cause a rollover, which may result in personal injury or death.
Do not under-inflate the tires.
Refer to the following list for the recommended tire pressure specifications:
Front tire pressure: approximately 165 kPa (24 psi)
Rear tire pressure with a cargo load of 227 kg (500 lb) or less: approximately 165 kPa (24 psi)
Rear tire pressure with a cargo load of more than 227 kg (500 lb): approximately 221 kPa (32 psi)
Important: Do not over-inflate the tires according to the specification listed on the sidewall of the tire.
Important: Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure proper inflation. If the tires are not inflated to the correct pressure, the tires will wear prematurely and may cause the 4-wheel drive to bind.
Figure 78 shows an example of tire wear caused by under-inflation.
Figure 79 shows an example of tire wear caused by over-inflation.

Note: Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Install the fuel-tank cap securely.
Wipe up any spilled fuel.
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.
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.
Wear an approved helmet whenever you operate the machine on rough or uneven terrain or at high speeds.
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.
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.
This machine was not designed or intended to be used on public roadways. Doing so may be hazardous and in violation of local laws.
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 on a paved surface in different modes, such as 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive, and carrying passengers and cargo may affect the handling of the machine.
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.
Improperly driving and/or making abrupt maneuvers while driving at fast speed increases the risk of a tip-over or rollover.
Do not touch the engine, transmission, muffler, or exhaust 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 lever to the P (PARK) position.
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.
The ROPS is an integral safety device. Do not remove the ROPS from the machine.
Always wear your seat belt to prevent/minimize injury to you and your passenger(s) in the event of an accident; ensure that it is attached and that you can release it quickly in an emergency.
Check carefully for overhead obstructions and do not contact them.
Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by thoroughly inspecting it periodically for damage and keeping all the mounting fasteners tight.
Replace damaged ROPS components. Do not repair or alter them.
Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight (GVW) of the machine. You must account for yourself, your passengers, and the load in the cargo bed contributing to the overall GVW of the machine.
Passengers should sit in the designated seating positions only. Do not allow passengers to sit in the cargo bed.
You and your passengers should remain seated with your seat belts secured whenever the machine is in motion.
The additional machine length results in a larger turn radius, so allow more space to maneuver the machine.
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 a level surface. 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.
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.
Remove any load material from the bed before raising it.
Ensure that the cargo bed is fully up and stable before working under the bed.
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 lever, 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 lever.
Remove all cargo from the bed before lifting the bed up to service the machine.
Lift the lever to raise the cargo bed (Figure 80).
The weight of the bed may be heavy. Hands or other body parts could be crushed.
Keep your hands and other body parts away when lowering the bed.
Slowly push down the cargo bed until it latches securely.
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 steps 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 83).
Use a short, shaking motion to rotate the tailgate back and forth several times (Figure 83).
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 lift the tailgate into the notches in the cargo bed.
Important: Do not attempt to push or tow the machine to get it started. Damage to the drive train could result.

With one foot on the brake pedal, simultaneously press your other foot on the accelerator pedal.
Note: There is no throttle control while in the N (NEUTRAL) 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:
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 |
Wood | 721 kg/m3 (45 lb/ft3) | Full |
