Setup Loose Parts Use the chart below to verify that all parts have been shipped. Procedure 1 2 3 4 5 Description Use Qty. Steering wheel Cover Washer (1/2 inch) 1 1 1 Install the steering wheel (TC models only). No parts required – Connect the battery (TC models only). No parts required – Check the fluid levels and tire pressure. No parts required – Burnish (break-in) the brakes.
2 Connecting the Battery TC Models Only No Parts Required g228187 Procedure Figure 5 1. Insulator boot (positive battery cable) WARNING 2. Negative battery post Incorrectly routing the battery cable could damage the machine and cables, causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. 4. Slide the insulator boot over the positive terminal. Note: The insulator boot prevents a possible short-to-ground from occurring.
4 Burnishing the Brakes No Parts Required Procedure To ensure optimum performance of the brake system, burnish (break-in) the brakes before use. 1. Bring the machine up to full speed, apply the brakes to rapidly stop the machine without locking up the tires. 2. Repeat this procedure 10 times, waiting 1 minute between stops, to avoid overheating the brakes. Important: This procedure is most effective if the machine is loaded with 227 kg (500 lb).

Accelerator Pedal Choke Control Use the accelerator pedal (Figure 7) to vary the ground speed of the machine. Pressing down the accelerator pedal starts the engine. Pressing the pedal farther increases the ground speed. Releasing the pedal slows the machine, and the engine shuts off. The choke control is located below and to the right of the operator's seat. Use the choke to help start a cold engine by pulling the choke control outward (Figure 8).
Horn Button Engine Oil-Pressure Light TC Models Only The engine oil-pressure light (Figure 9) warns you if the engine-oil pressure drops below a safe level to operate the engine. If the light comes on and remains lit, shut off the engine, and check the engine-oil level. Add oil to the engine if necessary; refer to Servicing the Engine Oil (page 33). The horn button is located at the lower, left corner of the dash panel (Figure 9). Press the horn button to sound the horn.
Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge (Figure 10) is located on the fuel tank next to the filler cap, at the left side of the machine. The gauge displays the amount of fuel in the tank. g008398 Figure 10 1. Empty 4. Fuel gauge 2. Full 5. Fuel-tank cap 3.

• Ensure that the brakes are burnished; refer to 4 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 unless a fuel stabilizer is used. Do not add oil to gasoline. • • • 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.

of the machine to prevent the load from shifting. Take extra care when hauling loads that shift easily (e.g., liquids, rock, sand, etc.). 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. • 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.
Lowering the Cargo Bed Opening the Tailgate WARNING The weight of the bed may be heavy. Hands or other body parts could be crushed. 1. Ensure that the cargo bed is down and latched. 2. Lift up the finger pulls at the back panel of the tailgate (Figure 16). Keep your hands and other body parts clear when lowering the bed. 1. Raise the cargo bed slightly by lifting up the latch lever (Figure 14). 2. Pull the prop rod out of the detent slot (Figure 15). 3.
Note: When using key start mode, you can engage the parking brake and work away from the machine while the engine still runs and the battery holds a charge. Note: If you turn the key to the START position, the engine cranks until it starts. If the engine cranks for more than 10 seconds, return to the OFF position, and determine the issue (e.g., the choke controls needs to be engaged, check the air cleaner for restrictions, ensure that the fuel tank is full, the spark is bad, etc.
Loading the Cargo Bed Material Density Maximum Cargo Box Capacity (on level ground) Gravel, dry 1522 kg/m3 (95 lb/ft3) Full 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.
After Operation After Operation Safety General Safety • Before leaving the operating position, do the g008401 following: Figure 18 – Park the machine on a level surface. 1. Towing tongue and tie-down point (front of the machine) – Shift the transmission to the NEUTRAL position. – Engage the parking brake. – Lower all attachments. – Shut off the machine and remove the key. • Allow the machine to cool before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
Towing a Trailer The machine is capable of pulling trailers. A tow hitch is available for the machine. Contact your Authorized Service Dealer 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.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Note: Download a copy of the electrical schematic by visiting www.Toro.com and searching for your machine from the Manuals link on the home page. Important: Refer to your engine owner’s manual for additional maintenance procedures. WARNING Failure to properly maintain the machine could result in premature failure of machine systems causing possible harm to you or bystanders.
