Transporting Vehicle

For moving the vehicle long distances, a trailer should be
used. Make sure the vehicle is secured to the trailer. Refer
to Figures 21 and 22 for location of tie down points.

Towing Vehicle

In case of emergency, the vehicle can be towed for a short
distance. However, Toro does not recommend this as a
standard procedure.
Warning
Towing at excessive speeds could cause vehicle to
lose steering control. Never tow vehicle faster than
5 MPH.
Towing the vehicle is a two person job. Affix a tow line to
holes in front frame member. Move shifter to Neutral and
release parking brake. If machine must be moved a
considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
Note: The power steering will not function, making it
difficult (increase effort) to steer.

Trailer Towing

The Workman® is capable of pulling trailers and
attachments of greater weight than the vehicle itself.

2. Hitch plate
Several types of tow hitches are available for the Workman,
depending on your application. Contact your Authorized
TORO Distributor for details.
When equipped with a tow hitch bolted onto rear axle tube,
your Workman can tow trailers or attachments with a Gross
Trailer Weight (GTW) up to 1500 lbs. Always load a trailer
with 60% of the cargo weight in the front of the trailer. This
places approximately 10% (200 lbs. max.) of the Gross
Trailer Weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of the vehicle.
When towing either standard tongue or 5th wheel trailers
having a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) in excess of 1500
lbs., use either a chassis mounted draw bar hitch (rated for
3500 lb. GTW) or 5th wheel kit with brakes. Trailer brakes
are required whenever a trailer over 1500 lbs. GTW is
towed behind a Workman vehicle.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer (attachment), 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.
Important
To reduce potential for drive line damage,
use low range.
When towing 5th wheel attachments, like a fairway aerator,
always install the "wheely bar"(included with the 5th wheel
kit) to prevent the front wheels from lifting off the ground
if the towed attachments movement is suddenly impaired.

Hydraulic Control

The hydraulic control supplies "live" hydraulic power from
the vehicle pump whenever the engine is running. The
power can be used through the the quick couplers at the
rear of the vehicle.
Control Lever Positions
Off Position
This is the normal position for the control valve when it is
not being used. In this position the work ports of the
control valve are blocked and any load will be held by the
check valves in both directions.
Raise (Quick Coupler "A" Position)
This is the position which will lift the bed, rear hitch
attachment or apply pressure to quick coupler "A". This
also allows return oil from Quick coupler "B" to flow back
into the valve and then out to the reservoir. This is a
momentary position and when the lever is released it spring
returns to the center off position.
