Workman® GTX Lithium Utility Vehicle

Before starting the machine each day, perform the Each Use/Daily procedures listed in .

Front and rear tires air pressure specification: 165 to 207 kPa (24 to 30 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.

1. Check the air pressure in the tires.

   • 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.

2. If necessary, adjust the air pressure in the tires by adding or removing air in the tires.

Perform the breaking in a new machine guidelines to provide proper performance and long life for the machine.

• Check the brake fluid.

• Avoid hard braking situations for the first several hours of new machine break-in operation. New brake linings may not be at optimum performance until several hours of use has caused the brakes to become burnished (broken-in).

• Refer to for any special low hour checks.

• Check the front suspension positioning and adjust it, if necessary; refer to Adjusting the Wheel Alignment.

• For optimal battery performance and battery life, charge the batteries to 100% when you receive your machine.

Refer to the display to determine the battery-system charge level; refer to Display.

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 overheat the motor or drain the batteries.

1. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.

2. 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.

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 0.28 m³ (10 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 25 and Figure 26 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 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.

1. Shut off the machine and remove the key.

   Important: If you tow the machine with the key in the ON position, the electrical system may be damaged.

2. Affix a tow line to the tongue at the front of the machine frame (Figure 25).

3. Disengage the parking brake.

The machine is capable of pulling trailers. Tow hitches are available for the machine, contact your authorized Toro distibutor 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, motor, 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 block the tires of the trailer.

The US Department of Transportation and international transportation authorities require that lithium-ion batteries be transported using special packaging and only be transported by carriers certified to haul them. In the US, you are allowed to transport a battery when it is installed on the machine as battery powered equipment, with some regulatory requirements. Contact the US Department of Transportation or the appropriate government body in your country for detailed regulations on transportation of your batteries or the machine with the batteries equipped.
