Transporting Vehicle; Towing The Vehicle - Toro Workman HD 07369 Operator's Manual

The differential lock causes the rear wheels to spin at
the same speed. When using differential lock your
ability to make sharp turns is somewhat restricted and
may scuff the turf. Use the differential lock only when
needed, at slower speeds and only in first or second
gear.
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 the inside
rear wheel lifts off the ground, there may be
a loss of control which could cause vehicle
to skid. Use the differential lock only at
slower speeds.

Transporting Vehicle

For moving the vehicle long distances, use a trailer.
Make sure the vehicle is secured to the trailer. Refer to
Figure 19 & Figure 20 for the location of the tie down
points.
Important: Trailers weighing over 1500 lb (680 kg)
are required to be equipped with trailer brakes.
Important: Load the vehicle on the trailer with
the front of the vehicle facing forward. If that is
not possible, secure the vehicle hood to the frame
with a strap, or remove the hood and transport
and secure it separately or the hood may blow off
during transport.

Towing the Vehicle

In case of an 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 (8 kph).
Towing the vehicle is a two person job. Affix a tow line
to holes in the front frame member. Move the shifter to
Neutral and release the parking brake. If the machine
must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on
a truck or trailer.
Note: The power steering will not function,
making it difficult (increased effort) to steer.
