Before starting the machine each day, perform the Each Use/Daily procedures listed in Maintenance (page 23).

Before Operation Safety
General Safety
· Never allow children or people who are not trained or physically capable to safely operate or service the machine. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. The owner is responsible for training all operators and mechanics.
· Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.
· Shut off the machine, remove the key, and wait for all movement to stop before you leave the operator’s position. Allow the machine to cool before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
· Know how to stop and shut off the machine quickly.
· Ensure that there are not more occupants (you and your passenger(s)) than the number of handholds equipped on the machine.
· Check that all safety devices and decals are in place. Repair or replace all safety devices and replace all illegible or missing decals. Do not operate the machine unless they are present and functioning properly.

Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Tire air pressure specification: 55 to 103 kPa (8 to 22 psi)
Important: Do not exceed the maximum air pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
Note: The air pressure needed in the tires is determined by the payload that you intend to carry.
1. Check the air pressure in the tires.
Note: The air pressure in the front and rear tires should be between 55 to 103 kPa (8 to 22 psi). · Use lower air pressure in the tires for lighter
payloads, for less soil compaction, for a smoother ride, and to minimize tire marks on the ground. · Use higher air pressure in the tires for carrying heavier payloads at higher speeds.
2. If necessary, adjust the air pressure in the tires by adding or removing air in the tires.

Fuel Safety
· Use extreme care in handling fuel. It is flammable and its vapors are explosive.
· Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.
· Use only an approved fuel container.
· Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.
· Do not add or drain fuel in an enclosed space.
· Do not store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water heater or other appliance.
· If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine; avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel vapors have dissipated.

Adding Fuel
Recommended Fuel
The engine runs on clean, fresh diesel fuel with a minimum cetane rating of 40. Purchase fuel in quantities that you can use within 30 days to ensure fuel freshness.
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter grade diesel fuel (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below -7°C (20°F). Use of winter-grade diesel fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and pour point characteristics, allowing easier starts and lessening the chances of chemical separation of the fuel due to lower temperatures.
Using summer-grade diesel fuel above -7°C (20°F) contributes toward longer life of the fuel-pump components.
Important: Never use kerosene or gasoline in place of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage the engine.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Fuel-tank capacity: 26.5 L (7 US gallons)
1. Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap.
2. Remove the fuel-tank cap (Figure 12).

4. Install the fuel-tank cap securely. 5. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
Breaking in a New Machine
Service Interval: After the first 100 hours–Perform the guidelines for breaking in a new machine.
Perform the following guidelines to provide proper performance for the machine. · Ensure that the brakes are burnished; refer to 4
Burnishing the Brakes (page 8). · Check the fluid and engine-oil levels regularly.
Remain alert for signs that the machine or its components are overheating. · After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about 15 seconds before using the machine.
Note: Allow more time for the engine to warm up when operating in cold temperatures. · Vary the machine speed during operation. Avoid fast starts and quick stops. · A break-in oil for the engine is not required. Original engine oil is the same type specified for regular oil changes. · Refer to Maintenance (page 23) for any special, low-hour checks. · Check the front suspension positioning and adjust it, if necessary; refer to Adjusting the Front Wheel Alignment (page 39).

During Operation
During Operation Safety
General Safety
· The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible for accidents that may cause personal injury or property damage.
· Passengers should sit in the designated seating positions only. Do not carry passengers in the cargo bed. Keep bystanders and children out of the operating area.
· Wear appropriate clothing, including eye protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose jewelry.
· Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur.
· Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
· Operate the machine outdoors or in a well-ventilated area only.
· Do not exceed the maximum gross vehicle weight (GVW) of the machine.
· Use extra caution when operating, braking, or turning the machine with a heavy load in the cargo bed.
· Carrying oversized loads in the cargo bed reduces the stability of the machine. Do not exceed the carrying capacity of the bed.
· Carrying material that cannot be bound to the machine adversely affects the steering, braking, and stability of the machine. When you carry material that cannot be bound to the machine, use caution when steering or braking.
· Carry a reduced load and reduce the ground speed of the machine when operating on rough, uneven terrain, and near curbs, holes, and other sudden changes in terrain. Loads may shift, causing the machine to become unstable.
· Before you start the machine, ensure that the transmission is in neutral, the parking brake is engaged, and you are in the operating position.
· You and your passengers should remain seated whenever the machine is moving. Keep your hands on the steering wheel; your passengers should use the handholds provided. Keep arms and legs within the machine body at all times.
· Operate the machine only in good visibility. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other

hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.
· Do not drive the machine near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge gives way.
· Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs such as tree limbs, door jambs, overhead walkways, etc.
· Look behind and down before reversing the machine to be sure of a clear path.
· When using the machine on public roads, follow all traffic regulations and use any additional accessories that may be required by law, such as lights, turn signals, slow-moving vehicle (SMV) signs, and others as required.
· If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop and shut off the machine immediately, wait for all movement to stop, and inspect for damage. Repair all damage to the machine before resuming operation.
· It can take longer to stop the machine on wet surfaces than on dry surfaces. To dry out wet brakes, drive slowly on a level surface while putting light pressure on the brake pedal.
· Operating the machine at high speed and then quickly stopping may cause the rear wheels to lock up, which impairs your control of the machine.
· Do not touch the engine, transmission, muffler, or muffler manifold while the engine is running, or soon after you shut off the engine, because these areas may be hot enough to cause burns.
· Do not leave a running machine unattended.
· Before you leave the operating position, do the following:
­ Park the machine on a level surface.
­ Shift the transmission to the NEUTRAL position.
­ Engage the parking brake.
­ Shut off the machine and remove the key.
­ Wait for all movement to stop.
· Do not operate the machine when there is the risk of lightning.
· Use accessories and attachments approved by The Toro® Company only.
Slope Safety
Note: A 2-post Rollover Protection System (ROPS) is available for this machine as an accessory. Use a ROPS if you will work next to drop-offs, near water, in rough terrain, or on a slope, which could result in

17

a rollover. Contact an authorized Toro distributor for more information.
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
· Survey the site to determine which slopes are safe for operating the machine and establish your own procedures and rules for operating on those slopes. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this survey.
· If you feel uneasy operating the machine on a slope, do not do it.
· Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not suddenly change the speed or direction of the machine.
· Avoid operating the machine on wet terrain. Tires may lose traction. A rollover can occur before the tires lose traction.
· Travel straight up and down a slope.
· If you begin to lose momentum while climbing a slope, gradually engage the brakes and slowly reverse the machine straight down the slope.
· Turning while going up or down a slope can be dangerous. If you must turn on a slope, do it slowly and cautiously.
· Heavy loads affect stability on a slope. Carry a reduced load and reduce your ground speed when operating on a slope or if the load has a high center of gravity. Secure the load to the cargo bed of the machine to prevent the load from shifting. Take extra care when hauling loads that shift easily (e.g., liquids, rock, sand, etc.).
· Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on a slope, especially with a load. Stopping while going down a slope takes longer than stopping on level ground. If you must stop the machine, avoid sudden speed changes, which can cause the machine to tip or roll over. Do not engage the brakes suddenly when rolling rearward, as this may cause the machine to overturn.
Loading and Dumping Safety
· Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight (GVW) of the machine when operating it with a load in the cargo bed and/or towing a trailer; refer to Specifications (page 14).
· Distribute the load in the cargo bed evenly to improve the stability and control of the machine.
· Before dumping, ensure that there is no one behind the machine.
· Do not dump a loaded cargo bed while the machine is sideways on a slope. The change

in weight distribution may cause the machine to overturn.
Operating the Cargo Bed
Raising the Cargo Bed
WARNING
A raised bed could fall and injure persons that are working beneath it. · Always use the prop rod to hold the bed up
before working under the bed. · Remove any load material from the bed
before raising it.
WARNING
Driving the machine with the cargo bed raised could cause the machine to tip or roll easier. You could damage the structure of the cargo bed if you operate the machine with the bed raised. · Operate the machine when the cargo bed
is down. · After emptying the cargo bed, lower it.
CAUTION
If a load is concentrated near the back of the cargo bed when you release the latches, the bed may unexpectedly tip open, injuring you or bystanders. · Center loads in the cargo bed, if possible. · Hold the cargo bed down and ensure that
no one is leaning over the bed or standing behind it when releasing the latches. · Remove all cargo from the bed before lifting the bed up to service the machine.

3. Rotate the key switch to the OFF position and remove the key.
Loading the Cargo Bed
Use the following guidelines when loading the cargo bed and operating the machine:
· Observe the weight capacity of the machine and limit the weight of the load that you carry in the cargo bed as described in Specifications (page 14) and on the gross vehicle weight tag of the machine.
Note: The load rating is specified for machine operation on a level surface only.
· Reduce the weight of the load that you carry in the cargo bed when operating the machine on hills and rough terrain.
· Reduce the weight of the load that you carry when the materials are tall (and have a high center of gravity), such as a stack of bricks, landscaping timbers, or fertilizer bags. Distribute the load as low as possible to ensure that the load does not reduce your ability to see behind the machine when operating it.
· Keep loads centered by loading the cargo bed as follows:
­ Evenly position the weight in the cargo bed from side to side.
Important: Tipping over is more likely to occur if the cargo bed is loaded to 1 side.
­ Evenly position the weight in the cargo bed from front to back.

20

Important: Loss of steering control or the machine may tip over if you position the load behind the rear axle and the traction on the front tires is reduced.
· Use extra caution when transporting oversized loads in the cargo bed, particularly when you cannot center the weight of the oversize load to the cargo bed.
· Whenever possible, secure the load by binding it to the cargo bed so that it does not shift.
· When transporting liquids, use caution when driving the machine uphill or downhill, when suddenly changing speed or stopping, or when driving over rough surfaces.

The capacity of the cargo box is 0.37 m3 (13 ft3). The amount (volume) of material that you can place in the bed without exceeding the load ratings of the machine can vary greatly depending on the density of the material.

Refer to the following table for load volume limits with various materials:

A fully charged battery maintains its charge for about 50 days at temperatures lower than 4°C (40°F). If the temperatures will be below 4°C (40°F), charge it every 30 days. 12. Check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws. Repair or replace any part that is damaged.
13. Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces.
Note: Paint is available from your Authorized Service Dealer.

California Proposition 65 Warning Information
What is this warning?
You may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following:
WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm–www.p65Warnings.ca.gov.
What is Prop 65?
Prop 65 applies to any company operating in California, selling products in California, or manufacturing products that may be sold in or brought into California. It mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other reproductive harm. The list, which is updated annually, includes hundreds of chemicals found in many everyday items. The purpose of Prop 65 is to inform the public about exposure to these chemicals. Prop 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals but instead requires warnings on any product, product packaging, or literature with the product. Moreover, a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is in violation of any product safety standards or requirements. In fact, the California government has clarified that a Prop 65 warning “is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is safe’ orunsafe.'” Many of these chemicals have been used in everyday products for years without documented harm. For more information, go to https://oag.ca.gov/prop65/faqs-view-all. A Prop 65 warning means that a company has either (1) evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the “no significant risk level”; or (2) has chosen to provide a warning based on its understanding about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure.
Does this law apply everywhere?
Prop 65 warnings are required under California law only. These warnings are seen throughout California in a wide range of settings, including but not limited to restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals, and on a wide variety of products. Additionally, some online and mail order retailers provide Prop 65 warnings on their websites or in catalogs.
How do the California warnings compare to federal limits?
Prop 65 standards are often more stringent than federal and international standards. There are various substances that require a Prop 65 warning at levels that are far lower than federal action limits. For example, the Prop 65 standard for warnings for lead is 0.5 g/day, which is well below the federal and international standards.
Why don’t all similar products carry the warning?
· Products sold in California require Prop 65 labelling while similar products sold elsewhere do not. · A company involved in a Prop 65 lawsuit reaching a settlement may be required to use Prop 65 warnings for its products, but other companies
making similar products may have no such requirement.
· The enforcement of Prop 65 is inconsistent. · Companies may elect not to provide warnings because they conclude that they are not required to do so under Prop 65; a lack of warnings for a
product does not mean that the product is free of listed chemicals at similar levels.
Why does Toro include this warning?
Toro has chosen to provide consumers with as much information as possible so that they can make informed decisions about the products they buy and use. Toro provides warnings in certain cases based on its knowledge of the presence of one or more listed chemicals without evaluating the level of exposure, as not all the listed chemicals provide exposure limit requirements. While the exposure from Toro products may be negligible or well within the “no significant risk” range, out of an abundance of caution, Toro has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover, if Toro does not provide these warnings, it could be sued by the State of California or by private parties seeking to enforce Prop 65 and subject to substantial penalties.
