Gear Shift Lever; Parking Brake; Differential Lock - Toro 07362 Operator's Manual

Worn or misadjusted brakes may result in
personal injury. If brake pedal travels to within
1–1/2" of the vehicle floor board, the brakes
must be adjusted or repaired.

Gear Shift Lever

Fully depress clutch pedal and move shift lever (@@@5)
into desired gear selection. A diagram of the shift
pattern is indicated below.
Important: Do not shift the transaxle to the reverse
or forward gear unless the vehicle is standing still.
Damage to transaxle may occur.
Down shifting from too high a speed can
cause the rear wheels to skid resulting in loss
of vehicle control as well as clutch and/or
transmission damage. Shift smoothly to avoid
grinding gears.

Differential Lock

Allows rear axle to be locked for increased traction.
Differential lock (Figure 16) may be engaged with
vehicle in motion. Move lever forward and to the right
to engage lock.
Note: Vehicle motion plus a slight turn is required to
engage or disengage differential lock.
Turning with the differential lock on can result
in loss of vehicle control. Do not operate with
differential lock on when making sharp turns or
at high speeds. Refer to using the differential
lock.

Parking Brake
Whenever the engine is shut off, the parking brake
(Figure 16) must be engaged to prevent accidental
movement of the vehicle. To engage the parking brake,
pull back on lever. To disengage, push lever forward.
Make sure parking brake is released before moving
vehicle. If vehicle is parked on a steep grade, make sure
parking brake is applied. Also, shift the transmission
into 1st gear on a uphill grade or reverse on a down hill
grade. Place chocks at the down hill side of wheels.
Hydraulic Lift
Raises and lowers bed. Move rearward to raise, forward
to lower (Figure 16).
Important: When lowering bed, hold lever in
forward position for 1 or 2 seconds after bed
contacts frame to secure it in lowered position.
Do not hold the hydraulic lift in either the raise or
lower position, for more than 5 seconds, once the
cylinders have reached the end of their travel.
Hydraulic Lift Lock
Locks lift lever so hydraulic cylinders do not operate
when vehicle is not equipped with a bed (Figure 16).
It also locks lift lever in ON position when using the
hydraulics for attachments.
High–Low Range Shifter
Adds three additional speeds for precise speed control
(Figure 16).
• Vehicle must be completely stopped before shifting
between High and Low range.
• Shift only on level ground.
