Operation
1. The TRANSPRO 80 is intended for use with
Greensmaster 800, 1000, 1600 and Flex 21 Walk
Greens Mowers. The towing of other products may
result in damage to axles and transmissions that
continue to rotate when towed.
2. USE ONLY A VEHICLE WITH THE PROPER
TOW RATING. The TRANSPRO 80 and one greens
mower weigh approximately 400 lbs. Ensure that the
tow vehicle has adequate braking and handling capacity
by checking the recommendations of the vehicle
manufacturer.
3. Ensure that the trailer is properly connected to the tow
vehicle before loading or unloading the greens mower
to prevent sudden unintended tongue movement or flip
up. Use a retention device on hitch pin to secure
connection.
Important
Trailer tongue to be parallel to ground when
aligned with tow vehicle hitch.
4. Strap Greensmower to trailer when driving on rough or
hilly terrain.
5. The TRANSPRO 80 adds extra towing weight to the
vehicle. Drive the vehicle safely.
Do not drive on highway or public roads.
Always SLOW the tow vehicle when approaching
and while making a turn.
Always SLOW the tow vehicle when driving in
unfamiliar areas or over rough terrain.
Always SLOW the tow vehicle when changing
direction of travel or preparing to stop.
When turning or driving on slopes, always SLOW
the tow vehicle, then turn to prevent loss of control
and possible upset.
DO NOT make sudden or sharp turns. DO NOT
suddenly change direction of travel on an incline,
ramp, grade, slope or similar surface.
Maximum towing speed is 15 mph (24 kmh).
Always adjust the tow vehicle speed to allow for
existing ground conditions such as wet slick
surfaces, loose sand or gravel and/or low visibility
conditions such as dim or bright lighting, fog, mist
or rain.
Be especially careful when driving a heavily loaded
vehicle down an incline or slope. Drive the vehicle
UP and DOWN the face of the slopes, inclines or
grades whenever possible. DO NOT DRIVE across
the face if at all possible. There is a risk of upsetting
the vehicle, which can result in serious injury or
death.
6. Before backing up, look to the rear and assure no one is
behind. Back up slowly and watch the trailer movement
closely.
7. Use extreme caution and slow speed when backing up
the trailer and tow vehicle.
8. Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads.
Always yield the right of way to pedestrians and other
vehicles.
9. If the trailer begins to vibrate abnormally, stop
immediately. Shut off the tow vehicle engine. Repair all
damage before commencing towing.
10. Before servicing or making any adjustments to the
trailer:
Stop the tow vehicle and set the parking brake.
Shut off the tow vehicle's engine and remove key
from ignition.
11. Keep all nuts, bolts and other fasteners tightened
securely. Replace any parts removed during servicing or
adjustments.
12. To assure optimum performance and continued safety of
this product, always use genuine TORO replacement
parts. Replacement parts and accessories made by other
manufacturers may affect the product's operation,
performance or durability. Such use could also void the
warranty of The Toro Company.
