Using The Differential Lock; Using The Hydraulic Control - Toro Workman 07369 Operator's Manual

Using the Differential Lock

WARNING
Tipping or rolling the machine 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 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 the
machine to skid. Use the differential lock
only at slower speeds.
CAUTION
Turning the machine with the differential lock
on may cause you to control of the machine,
resulting personal injury and/or property
damage.
Do not operate the machine with the
differential lock on when making sharp turns
or moving at high speed.
The differential lock increases the machine traction
by locking the rear wheels so that a wheel does not
spin out. This can help when you have heavy loads to
haul on wet turf or slippery areas, going up hills, or on
sandy surfaces. It is important to remember, however,
that this extra traction is for temporary limited use
only. Its use does not replace the safe operation.
The differential lock causes the rear wheels to spin
at the same speed. When using the differential
lock, your ability to make sharp turns is somewhat
restricted, and may scuff the turf. Use the differential
lock only when necessary, at slower speeds, and only
in first or second gear.

Using the Hydraulic Control

The hydraulic control supplies hydraulic power from
the machine pump whenever the engine runs. You
can use the power through the quick couplers at the
rear of the machine.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate skin and
can cause serious injury.
Use care when connecting or disconnecting
hydraulic quick couplers. Shut off the
engine, engage the parking brake, lower the
attachment, and place the remote hydraulic
valve in the float detent position to relieve
the hydraulic pressure before connecting or
disconnecting the quick couplers.
Important:
If multiple machines use the
same attachment, cross-contamination of the
transmission fluid may occur. Change the
transmission fluid more frequently.
