Operating The Cargo Box - Toro 07277 Operator's Manual

Operating the Cargo Box

Raising the Box
Driving the vehicle with the cargo box raised
may cause the vehicle to tip or roll easier. The
box structure may become damaged if you
operate the vehicle with the box raised.
• Only operate the vehicle when the cargo box
is down.
• After dumping a load, lower the cargo box.
1. Lift the lever on either side of the box and lift the
box up (Figure 23).

Lowering the Box
The weight of the box may be heavy. Hands or
other body parts could be crushed.
Keep hands and other body parts clear when
lowering the box.
Pull the prop rod out of the detent slot and lower the
box until it latches into place.
Adjusting the Box Latches
If the box latch does not latch tightly, vibrating up and
down as you drive the vehicle, you can adjust the latch
posts to make the latches fit snugly.
1. Loosen the nut on the end of the latch post
(Figure 25).

2. Turn the latch post clockwise until it is snug against
the latch and then tighten the nut (Figure 25).
3. Repeat this procedure for the latch on the other side
of the vehicle.
Operating the Tailgate Latches
1. To open the tailgate latches, lift the latch handles up
(Figure 26). The latches will spring out toward the
center of the tailgate. Slowly lower the tailgate.
Note: You may need to push the end of the tailgate
in (especially if there is a load against the tailgate)
before the latches will spring toward the center of
the tailgate and release.
