source of ignition until the fuel vapors have dissipated.
Figure 11
g001055
Performing Daily Maintenance
Before starting the machine each day, perform the Each Use/Daily procedures
listed in Maintenance (page 24).
14
Adding Fuel
Recommended Fuel
· For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days old), unleaded
gasoline with a cetane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
· Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl
tertiary butyl ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the
same. Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for use. Never
use gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15
(contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains up to 85%
ethanol). Using unapproved gasoline may cause performance problems and/or
engine damage which may not be covered under warranty.
· Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
· Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers over the winter

Note: This space in the tank allows fuel to expand. Do not overfill the fuel
tank. 7. Install the fuel-tank cap securely. 8. 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 3
Burnishing the Brakes (page 9). · 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.
15
· 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 24) for any special, low-hour checks.
· Check the front suspension positioning and adjust it, if necessary; refer to
Adjusting the Front Wheel Alignment (page 44).
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 pets away from the machine
during operation.
· Wear appropriate clothing, including eye protection; long pants;
substantial, slip-resistant footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long
hair and do not wear loose jewelry.
· 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 the machine with a heavy load in the cargo
bed. The heavier the load, the more difficult it is to turn or stop.
· Carrying oversized loads in the cargo bed reduces the stability of the
machine.
· Carrying material that cannot be bound to the machine, such as a large tank
of liquid, adversely affects the steering, braking, and stability of the
machine.
· Before you start the engine, 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 your 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.
· 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.
· 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.
· 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 the machine immediately, shut
off the engine, remove the key, wait for all movement to stop, and inspect for
damage. Repair all damage to the machine before resuming operation.
· 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.
· It can take longer to stop the machine on wet surfaces than on dry surfaces.
To dry out wet brakes, drive slowly on level ground while putting light
pressure on the brake pedal.
· Sudden changes in terrain may move the steering wheel unexpectedly, which
could result in hand and arm injuries. Reduce your speed and grip the steering
wheel loosely around the perimeter, keeping your thumbs out of the way of the
steering wheel spokes.
· Reduce the speed when you operate the machine with the cargo bed removed.
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 leaving the operating position, do the following:
Park the machine on level ground.
Engage the parking brake.
Lower the cargo bed.
Shut off the engine and remove the key.
16
· Do not operate the machine when there is the risk of lightning.
· Use accessories and attachments approved by The Toro® Company only.
Multi-Passenger Safety
· You must account for the extra passengers contributing to the overall gross
vehicle weight (GVW) of the machine.
· If you have a load in the cargo bed, ensure that you do not exceed the
capacity of the machine by having too many passengers.
· Passengers should sit in the designated seating positions only. Do not allow
passengers to sit in the cargo bed.
· You and your passengers should remain seated whenever the machine is in
motion.
· The additional machine length results in a larger turn radius, so allow more
space to maneuver the machine.
Slope Safety
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 13).
· 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.

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 13) 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.
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 wight 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 liquid in a large tank (such as a sprayer tank), use
caution when driving the machine uphill or downhill, when suddenly changing
speed or stopping, or when driving over tough surfaces.
The capacity of the cargo bed is 0.28 m3 (10 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:

g034273 Towing a Trailer
The machine is capable of pulling trailers. A tow hitch is 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 either the machine or the trailer 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.
To provide adequate braking and traction, always load the cargo bed when using
a trailer. 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 chock the tires of the trailer.

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’ or
unsafe.'” 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.

Deep Cycle and Lithium-Ion Battery Warranty:
Deep cycle and Lithium-Ion batteries have a specified total number of
kilowatt-hours they can deliver during their lifetime. Operating, recharging,
and maintenance techniques can extend or reduce total battery life. As the
batteries in this product are consumed, the amount of useful work between
charging intervals will slowly decrease until the battery is completely worn
out. Replacement of worn out batteries, due to normal consumption, is the
responsibility of the product owner. Battery replacement may be required
during the normal product warranty period at owner’s expense. Note: (Lithium-
Ion battery only): A Lithium-Ion battery has a part only prorated warranty
beginning year 3 through year 5 based on the time in service and kilowatt
hours used. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for additional information.
Owner Responsibilities
As the Product owner, you are responsible for required maintenance and
adjustments stated in your Operator’s Manual. Failure to perform required
maintenance and adjustments can be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim.
Items and Conditions Not Covered
Not all product failures or malfunctions that occur during the warranty period
are defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty does not cover the
following:
· Product failures which result from the use of non-Toro replacement parts, or
from installation and use of add-on, or modified non-Toro branded accessories
and products. A separate warranty may be provided by the manufacturer of these
items.
· Product failures which result from failure to perform recommended
maintenance and/or adjustments. Failure to properly maintain your Toro product
per the Recommended Maintenance listed in the Operator’s Manual can result in
claims for warranty being denied.
· Product failures which result from operating the Product in an abusive,
negligent, or reckless manner.
· Parts subject to consumption through use unless found to be defective.
Examples of parts which are consumed, or used up, during normal Product
operation include, but are not limited to, brake pads and linings, clutch
linings, blades, reels, rollers and bearings (sealed or greasable), bed
knives, spark plugs, castor wheels and bearings, tires, filters, belts, and
certain sprayer components such as diaphragms, nozzles, and check valves, etc.
· Failures caused by outside influence. Conditions considered to be outside
influence include, but are not limited to, weather, storage practices,
contamination, use of unapproved fuels, coolants, lubricants, additives,
fertilizers, water, or chemicals, etc.
· Failure or performance issues due to the use of fuels (e.g. gasoline,
diesel, or biodiesel) that do not conform to their respective industry
standards.
Maintenance is at Owner’s Expense
Engine tune-up, lubrication, cleaning and polishing, replacement of filters,
coolant, and completing recommended maintenance are some of the normal
services Toro products require that are at the owner’s expense.
General Conditions
Repair by an Authorized Toro Distributor or Dealer is your sole remedy under
this warranty.
Neither The Toro Company nor Toro Warranty Company is liable for indirect,
incidental or consequential damages in connection with the use of the Toro
Products covered by this warranty, including any cost or expense of providing
substitute equipment or service during reasonable periods of malfunction or
non-use pending completion of repairs under this warranty. Except for the
Emissions warranty referenced below, if applicable, there is no other express
warranty. All implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for use are
limited to the duration of this express warranty.
Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or consequential damages, or
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions and
limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
Note regarding engine warranty:
The Emissions Control System on your Product may be covered by a separate
warranty meeting requirements established by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and/or the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The hour
limitations set forth above do not apply to the Emissions Control System
Warranty. Refer to the Engine Emission Control Warranty Statement supplied
with your product or contained in the engine manufacturer’s documentation for
details
Countries Other than the United States or Canada
Customers who have purchased Toro products exported from the United States or Canada should contact their Toro Distributor (Dealer) to obtain
guarantee policies for your country, province, or state. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your Distributor’s service or have difficulty obtaining
guarantee information, contact the Toro importer.
