Tipping or rolling the vehicle on a hill will cause
serious injury.
• The extra traction available with the differential
lock can be enough to get you into dangerous
situations such as climbing slopes that are too
steep to turn around. Be extra careful when
operating with the differential lock on,
especially on steeper slopes.
• If the differential lock is on when making a
sharp turn at a higher speed and inside rear
wheel lifts off the ground, there may be a loss of
control which could cause vehicle to skid (Refer
to section on Differential Lock Operation). Use
the differential lock only at slower speeds.
Warning
Four Wheel Drive
Four Wheel Drive Only
The “Automatic on Demand” four wheel drive feature, on
this vehicle does not require operator activation. The front
wheel drive is not engaged (no power delivered to front
wheels) until the rear wheels begin to lose traction. The
bi–directional clutch senses the rear wheels slipping,
engages the front wheel drive and delivers power to the
front wheels. The four wheel drive system continues to
deliver power to the front wheels until the rear wheels have
enough traction to move the vehicle without slipping. Once
this occurs, the system stops delivering power to the front
wheels and the handling characteristics become similar to
that of a two wheel drive vehicle. The four wheel drive
system functions in both froward and reverse, however,
when turning the the rear wheels will slip slightly more
before power is delivered to the front wheels.
Tipping or rolling the vehicle on a hill will cause
serious injury.
• The extra traction available with the four wheel
drive feature can be enough to get you into
dangerous situations such as climbing slopes
that are too steep to turn around. Be careful
when operating, especially on steeper slopes.
Warning
Transporting Vehicle
For moving the vehicle long distances, a trailer should be
used. Make sure the vehicle is secured to the trailer. Refer
to Figures 27 and 28 for location of tie down points.
Towing Vehicle
In case of emergency, the vehicle can be towed for a short
distance. However, Toro does not recommend this as a
standard procedure.
Towing at excessive speeds could cause vehicle to
lose steering control. Never tow vehicle faster than
5 MPH.
Warning
Towing the vehicle is a two person job. Affix a tow line to
holes in front frame member. Move shifter to Neutral and
release parking brake. If machine must be moved a
considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
Note: The power steering will not function, making it
difficult (increase effort) to steer.
