Transporting the Machine
Use a trailer to move the machine long distances. Make sure
that the machine is secured to the trailer. Refer
and
Figure 21
for the location of the tie-down points.
CAUTION
Loose seats may fall off of the machine and trailer
when transporting and land on another vehicle or
become an obstruction on the road.
Remove the seats or make sure that the seats are
securely fastened in the detents.

Towing the Machine
In case of an emergency, the machine can be towed for a
short distance. However, we do not recommend this as a
standard operating procedure.
WARNING
Towing at excessive speeds could cause a loss of
steering control, resulting in personal injury.
Never tow the machine faster than 8 km/h (5 mph).
Towing the machine is a 2-person job. If you must move the
machine a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or
trailer; refer to
Transporting the Machine (page
1. Remove the drive belt from the machine; refer to
Replacing the Drive Belt (page
2. Affix a tow line to the tongue at the front of the
machine's frame
3. Put the transmission of the machine in neutral and
release the parking brake; refer to
(page 15)
and
Parking-Brake Lever (page
Towing a Trailer
The machine is capable of pulling trailers. Depending on
your application, 2 types of tow hitches are available for the
machine. 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, 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 machine.
The maximum cargo load shall not exceed 567 kg (1250 lb),
including the GTW . For example, if the GTW = 181.5 kg
(400 lb) then the maximum cargo load = 386 kg (850 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, engage the parking brake and block the trailer
tires.
