Towing A Machine - Toro 07299 Operator's Manual

Towing a Machine

The machine is capable of pulling trailers. 2 types of tow
hitches are available for the machine, depending on your
application. Contact your Authorized Toro Distributor for
details.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload your
machine or trailer. Overloading can cause poor performance
or damage to the brakes, axle, motor, 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 machine.
The maximum cargo load shall not exceed 362 kg (800 lb),
including the GTW. For example, if the GTW is 90 kg (200
lb) then the maximum cargo load is 272 kg (600 lb).
To provide adequate braking and traction, always load the
cargo box when trailering. Do not exceed the GTW or GVW
limits.
Avoid parking a machine with a trailer on a hill. If you must
park on a hill, set the parking brake and block the trailer tires.
