wheels.
WARNING
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.
Transporting the Vehicle
For moving the vehicle long distances, a trailer should
be used. Make sure the vehicle is secured to the trailer.
Refer to Figures 24 and 25 for location of tie down
points.
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.
WARNING
Towing at excessive speeds could cause vehicle to
lose steering control. Never tow vehicle faster than 5
mph.
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.

is capable of pulling trailers and
attachments of greater weight than the vehicle itself.

your Authorized TORO Distributor for details.
When equipped with a tow hitch bolted onto rear axle

with a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) up to 560 kg
Always load a trailer with 60% of the cargo weight in
the front of the trailer. This places approximately 10%
(75 kg. max.) of the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on
the tow hitch of the vehicle.
When towing either standard tongue or 5th wheel
trailers having a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) in
excess of 560 kg, use either a chassis mounted draw
bar hitch (rated for 1306 kg lb. GTW) or 5th wheel kit

trailer over 560 kg GTW is towed behind a Workman
vehicle.
