below freezing) could damage the hydraulic
system. When starting the engine in cold
conditions, allow it to run in the middle
throttle position for 2 to 5 minutes before
moving the throttle to the F
Note:
If the outdoor temperature is below
freezing, store the machine in a garage to keep
it warmer and to aid in starting.
Driving the Machine

farther you move the traction control in any direction,
the faster the machine moves in that direction.

Using Attachments
Installing an Attachment
Important:
Use only Toro-approved attachments.
Attachments can change the stability and the
operating characteristics of the machine. The
warranty of the machine may be voided if you use
the machine with unapproved attachments.
Important:
Before installing the attachment,
ensure that the mount plates are free of any dirt or
debris and that the pins rotate freely. If the pins
do not rotate freely, grease them.
1.
Position the attachment on a level surface with
enough space behind it to accommodate the
machine.
2.
Start the engine.
3.
Tilt the attachment mount plate forward.
