Using The Side Discharge; Transporting The Machine; Loading The Machine - Toro Titan MX4800 Operator's Manual

Using the Side Discharge

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
DANGER
Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.
• Never remove the grass deflector from the mower
because the grass deflector routes material down
toward the turf. If the grass deflector is ever
damaged, replace it immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never try to clear the discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the blade-control switch
(PTO) to the off position, rotate the ignition key
to off and remove the key.
• Make sure the grass deflector is in the down
position.

Transporting the Machine

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine.
Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary brakes,
lighting, and marking as required by law. Please carefully read
all the safety instructions. Knowing this information could
help you, your family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury.
WARNING
Driving on the street or roadway without turn
signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow
moving vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead
to accidents causing personal injury.
Do not drive machine on a public street or roadway.
To transport the machine:
1. If using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle and
connect the safety chains.
2. If applicable, connect the trailer brakes.
3. Load the machine onto the trailer or truck.
4. Stop the engine, remove the key, set the brake, and
close the fuel valve.
5. Tie down the machine near the front caster wheels and
the rear bumper (Figure 28).

Loading the Machine

Use extreme caution when loading or unloading machines
onto a trailer or a truck. Use a full-width ramp that is wider
than the machine for this procedure. Back up ramps and
drive forward down ramps
1. Back up ramps
Important: Do not use narrow individual ramps for
each side of the machine.
Ensure the ramp is long enough so that the angle with the
ground does not exceed 15 degrees
ground, this requires a ramp to be at least 4 times as long as
the height of the trailer or truck bed to the ground. A steeper
angle may cause mower components to get caught as the unit
moves from the ramp to the trailer or truck. Steeper angles
may also cause the machine to tip or lose control. If loading
on or near a slope, position the trailer or truck so that it is
on the down side of the slope and the ramp extends up the
slope. This will minimize the ramp angle.
