Loading the Machine
Use extreme caution when loading the machine onto a trailer
or a truck. One full-width ramp that is wide enough to extend
beyond the rear tires is required
The ramp should be long enough so that the angles do not
exceed 15 degrees
(Figure
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 backward. 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. The trailer or truck should be as
level as possible.
Important: Do not attempt to turn the machine while
on the ramp; you may lose control and drive off the side.
Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a ramp and
sudden deceleration when backing down a ramp. Both
maneuvers can cause the machine to tip backward.
WARNING
Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of backward tip-over and could cause
serious injury or death.
• Use extreme caution when operating a machine
on a ramp.
• Use the seat belt when loading the machine.
Ensure that the ROPS will clear the top of an
enclosed trailer.
• Use only a single, full-width ramp; do not use
individual ramps for each side of the machine.
• If individual ramps must be used, use enough
ramps to create an unbroken ramp surface wider
than the machine.
• Do not exceed a 15-degree angle between the
ramp and the ground or between the ramp and
the trailer or truck.
• Avoid sudden acceleration while driving the
machine up a ramp, to avoid tipping backward.
• Avoid sudden deceleration while backing
the machine down a ramp, to avoid tipping
backward.

Towing the Machine
In case of an emergency, you can tow the machine for a short
distance, less than 0.4 km (1/4 mile); however, Toro does not
recommend this as standard procedure.
Important: Do not tow the machine faster than 3 to
5 km/h (2 to 3 mph) because the drive system may be
damaged. If the machine must be moved a considerable
distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
