Towing A Trailer - Toro 07277 Workman 2110 Operator's Manual

Towing a Trailer

The vehicle is capable of pulling trailers. Two types of tow
hitches are available for the vehicle, depending on your
application. Contact your Authorized Toro Distributor for
details.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload
your vehicle or trailer. Overloading can cause poor
performance or damage to the brakes, axle, engine,
transaxle, steering, suspension, body structure, or tires.
Always load a trailer with 60% of the cargo weight in the
front of the trailer. This places approximately 10% of the
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of the
vehicle.
The maximum cargo load shall not exceed 1250 lb.
(567 kg), including the GTW and tongue weight. For
example, if the GTW = 400 lb. (181 kg) and tongue
weight = 50 lb. (23 kg), then the maximum cargo load =
800 lb. (363 kg).
To provide adequate braking and traction, always load the
cargo box when trailering. Do not exceed the GTW limits.
Avoid parking a vehicle with a trailer on a hill. If you must
park on a hill, engage the parking brake and block the
trailer tires.
