Warning signals a hazard that may cause serious injury or death if you do not follow the recommended precautions. • Never allow children to operate the vehicle. Anyone who operates the vehicle should have a motor vehicle license. Caution signals a hazard that may cause minor or moderate injury if you do not follow the recommended precautions. • Never allow other adults to operate the vehicle without first reading and understanding the Operator’s Manual.
• Before getting off of the seat: • Drive slower and turn less sharply when you are carrying a passenger. Remember your passenger may not be expecting you to brake or turn and may not be ready. A. Stop the movement of the vehicle. B. Set the parking brake. • Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs such as tree limbs, door jambs, and over-head walkways. Make sure there is enough room over head to easily clear the vehicle and your head. C. Turn the key to Off. D. Remove the key.
• Slow down before starting up or down a hill. • Do not carry loads which exceed the load limits described on the vehicle weight label; refer to Specifications, page 11, for vehicle weight limits. The load rating is for level surfaces only. • If the batteries run low or you begin to lose headway while climbing a hill, gradually apply the brakes and slowly back straight down the hill. • Reduce the weight of the load when operating on hills and rough terrain to avoid tipping or overturning of the vehicle.
Handling and Servicing Batteries • When removing or installing the batteries, do not allow the battery terminals to touch any metal parts of the vehicle. • To reduce the potential for fire, keep the batteries and motor area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and accumulation of dirt. • Do not allow metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal parts of the vehicle. Remove all jewelry and watches before servicing the batteries.

Operation Parking Brake The parking brake is a small plate at the top of the brake pedal (Fig. 3). Whenever you stop the vehicle, engage the parking brake to prevent accidental movement of the vehicle. To engage the parking brake, step on the brake pedal firmly and roll forward with the top of your foot. To disengage, press the accelerator or brake pedal. If the vehicle is parked on a steep grade, apply the parking brake and place blocks on the downhill side of the wheels.
Vehicle Direction Switch Passenger Hand Holds Use this switch (Fig. 4) to toggle between forward and reverse operation. The passenger hand holds are located on the right side of the dash panel and at the outside of each seat (Fig. 6). 2 Vehicle Status Light 1 This light communicates the status of the vehicle as determined by the on board computer. Always check this light when you turn the On/Off switch to the On position (Fig. 4).
Important When driving up slopes, do not stop the vehicle using the accelerator pedal to hold it in place. This will damage the motor. Instead use the brake or parking brake to stop the vehicle and hold it in place. m–7220 To stop the vehicle, remove your foot from the accelerator pedal and slowly press the brake pedal. 1 Note: Stopping distance may vary depending on the vehicle load and speed. 5 4 3 Stopping the Vehicle 2 Figure 7 1. Battery capacity 2. Discharge/charge cycles 3.
Using the Battery System When only one bar is left, the warning light will begin flashing and the vehicle will go into an energy saving mode (Fig. 10). In this mode, the vehicle will only drive at 3 mph. Recharge the batteries immediately to prevent serious damage to them. When your batteries are fully charged, the battery meter will have ten bars showing from left to right (Fig. 8). 1 If the batteries become fully discharged, the vehicle will shut down.
Adjusting the Box Latches 1. Lift the lever on either side of the box and lift the box up (Fig. 11). If the box does not latch tightly, vibrating up and down as you drive the vehicle, you can adjust the latch posts to make the latches fit snuggly. 1. Loosen the nut on the end to the latch post (Fig. 13). 1 2 3 m–7437 Figure 11 1. Lever 1 2. Pull the prop rod into the detent slot, securing the box (Fig. 12). m–7439 Figure 13 1. Latch 2. Nut 2 3. Latch post 2.
Transporting the Vehicle 2. To close the tailgate latches, lift the handles upward and slide them toward the outside of the vehicle. For moving the vehicle long distances, a trailer should be used. Make sure that the vehicle is secured to the trailer. Refer to Figures 15 and 16 for the location of the tie down points. 3. Push the latch handles downward to secure the latch and tailgate.
Towing a Trailer The vehicle is capable of pulling trailers. Two types of tow hitches are available for the vehicle, depending on your application. Contact your Authorized Toro Distributor for details. When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload your vehicle or trailer. Overloading can cause poor performance or damage to the brakes, axle, motor, transaxle, steering, suspension, body structure, or tires. Always load a single axle trailer with 60% of the cargo weight in the front of the trailer.

Caution If you leave the key in the On/Off switch, someone could accidently start the vehicle and seriously injure you or other bystanders. Remove the key from the On/Off switch before you do any maintenance.
Maintaining the Batteries 2 Warning Battery terminals or metal tools could short against metal vehicle components causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. 1 4 240 V 220 V • When removing or installing the battery, do not allow the battery terminals to touch any metal parts of the vehicle. • Do not allow metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal parts of the vehicle.
4. Replace the filler caps on all batteries. Warning 5. Charge the batteries for 16 hours; refer to Charging the Batteries, page 22. Charging the battery produces gasses that can explode. 6. Remove the filler caps from each battery. 7. Add just enough distilled water to bring the electrolyte level to 1/8 inch (3 mm) below the bottom of each fill well (Fig. 20). Never smoke near the batteries and keep sparks and flames away from them. 2 1.
6. Remove all of the batteries and recycle them according to your local codes. Warning 7. Install new batteries in the places vacated by the old batteries Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the vehicle and cables causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. Note: Pay attention to the battery polarity when installing the new batteries (Fig. 21). 8. Install the battery retainers and torque the nuts to 150 to 200 in-lb (17 to 22 N⋅m).
Adjusting the Brake Pedal 3. Wipe off excess grease. Adjust the brake if the parking brake does not hold, the brake pedal travel is excessive, or braking power is not sufficient when the brake pedal is depressed. Check the adjustment every 200 hours. 1. Turn the ignition off and remove the key. 2. Check the brake cables at the brake equalizer (located under the dash) and determine approximately how far up the brake rod the equalizer needs to travel so that there is no slack in the cables (Fig. 24).
Inspecting the Tires Check the tire condition at least every 100 hours of operation. Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can damage a tire or rim and also disrupt wheel alignment, so inspect tire condition after an accident. 2 Check the wheels to ensure that they are mounted securely. Torque the center bolts on the front wheels to 135–165 ft-lb (183–224 N⋅m) and the front and rear lug nuts to 45–65 ft-lb (61–88 N⋅m).
Note: The vehicle may need to be lowered to the ground on that side to install the bolt. height. Use the same fixture or alignment gauge to accurately measure the front of the front tires at axle height (Fig. 27). 8. Tighten and torque the centering bolts to 240–290 ft-lb (325–393 N⋅m). 6 9. Check the ride height at the front tongue per the dimensions and parameters given at the beginning of this procedure.
Checking the Transaxle Oil Level 1 Check the oil level in the transaxle at the rear of the vehicle every 100 operating hours. 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, set the parking brake, and turn off and remove the key. 2 2. Remove the check bolt on the transaxle (Fig. 29). The oil level should be even with the bottom of the check hole. m–7446 Figure 30 2 1. Vehicle Fuse 1 2.
