the turf. Use the differential lock only when needed, at
slower speeds and only in first or second gear.
WARNING
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.
Four Wheel Drive (Four Wheel
Drive Models Only)
The Automatic on Demand four wheel drive feature, on
this vehicle does not require operator activation. The
front wheel drive is not engaged (no power delivered
to front wheels) until the rear wheels begin to lose
traction. The bidirectional clutch senses the rear wheels
slipping, engages the front wheel drive, and delivers
power to the front wheels. The four wheel drive system
continues to deliver power to the front wheels until the
rear wheels have enough traction to move the vehicle
without slipping. Once this occurs, the system stops
delivering power to the front wheels and the handling
characteristics become similar to that of a two wheel
drive vehicle. The four wheel drive system functions
in both froward and reverse, however, when turning
the rear wheels will slip slightly more before power is
delivered to the front wheels.
WARNING
Tipping or rolling the vehicle on a hill will cause

The extra traction available with the four wheel

operating, especially on steeper slopes.

Transporting Vehicle

For moving the vehicle long distances, use a trailer.
Make sure the vehicle is secured to the trailer. Refer
to Figure 28 and Figure 29 for the location of the tie
down points.
Important: Trailers weighing over 1500 lb (680 kg)
are required to be equipped with trailer brakes.
Note: 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.
WARNING
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
