Transporting The Vehicle - Toro 07205 Operator's Manual

Operating
WARNING
Tipping or rolling the vehicle on a hill will cause
serious injury.
• The extra traction available with the differen-
tial lock can be enough to get you into danger-
ous situations such as climbing slopes that are
too steep to turn around. Be extra careful when
operating with the differential lock on, espe-
cially 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 the vehicle to
skid (Refer to Differential Lock Operation).
Use the differential lock only at slower speeds.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
Four Wheel Drive Model Only
The "Automatic On Demand" four-wheel drive fea-
ture on this vehicle does not require operator activa-
tion. The front-wheel drive is not engaged (no
power delivered to the front wheels) until the rear
wheels begin to lose traction. When the clutch sens-
es the rear wheels slipping, it delivers power to the
front wheels until the rear wheels have enough trac-
tion to move the vehicle without slipping. Once this
occurs, the system reverts to 2-wheel drive. This
occurs in both forward and reverse. However, when
turning, the rear wheels will slip slightly more before
power is delivered to the front wheels.

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE

For moving the vehicle long distances, a trailer
should be used. Make sure the vehicle is secured to
the trailer.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
In case of emergency, the vehicle can be towed for a
short distance. However, Toro does not recommend
this as a standard procedure.
26
Towing the vehicle is a two-person job. Affix a tow
line to the holes in the front frame member. Move
the shifter to Neutral and release the parking brake.
If the machine must be moved a considerable dis-
tance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
Note: The power steering will not function, mak-
ing it difficult (increase effort) to steer.
1. Eye holes in frame
1. Axle tube
2. Hitch plate location (optional)
TRAILER TOWING
Towing at excessive speeds could cause the vehicle
to lose steering control. Never tow the vehicle
faster than 8 km/h.
The Workman ® is capable of pulling trailers and
attachments of greater weight than the vehicle itself.
Several types of tow hitches are available for the
Workman, depending on your application. Contact
your Authorized TORO Distributor for details.
