Operator's Manual

Towing at excessive speeds could cause a loss of

steering control, resulting in personal injury.

Never tow the vehicle faster than 5 MPH (8 km/h).

Warning

Towing the vehicle is a two person job. If the machine must

be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or

trailer; refer to Transporting the Vehicle, page 18.

1. Remove the drive belt; refer to Replacing the Drive

Belt, page 27, steps 1 and 2.

Towing a Trailer

The vehicle is capable of pulling trailers. Two types of tow

hitches are available for the vehicle, depending on your

application. Contact your Authorized Toro Dealer for

details.

When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload

your vehicle or trailer. Overloading 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

vehicle.

The maximum cargo load shall not exceed 1200 lb.

(544 kg), including the GTW and tongue weight. For

example, if the GTW = 400 lb. (181 kg) and tongue weight

= 50 lb. (23 kg), then the maximum cargo load = 750 lb.

(340 kg).

To provide adequate braking and traction, always load the

cargo box when trailering. Do not exceed the GTW limits.

Avoid parking a vehicle with a trailer on a hill. If you must

park on a hill, engage the parking brake and block the

trailer tires.
