Transporting 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 Figure 17 and Figure 18 for the location
of the tie-down points.
CAUTION
Loose seats may fall off of the vehicle and trailer
when transporting and land on another vehicle or
become an obstruction on the road.
Remove the seats or make sure that the seats are
securely fastened in the detents.

Towing the Vehicle
In case of an emergency, the vehicle can be towed for
a short distance. However, we do not recommend this
as a standard procedure.
WARNING
Towing at excessive speeds could cause a loss of
steering control, resulting in personal injury.
Never tow the vehicle faster than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Towing the vehicle is a two person job. If the machine
must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on
a truck or trailer; refer to Transporting the Vehicle.
1. Remove the drive belt; refer to Replacing the Drive
Belt in the Belt Maintenance section in Maintenance.
2. Affix a tow line to the tongue on the front of the
frame (Figure 18).
3. Put the vehicle in neutral and release the parking
brake.

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, 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 vehicle.
The maximum cargo load shall not exceed 1250 lb
(567 kg), including the GTW . For example, if the GTW
= 400 lb (181.5 kg) then the maximum cargo load =
850 lb (386 kg)
To provide adequate braking and traction, always load
the cargo box when trailering. Do not exceed the GTW
or GVW limits.
Avoid parking a vehicle with a trailer on a hill. If you
must park on a hill, engage the parking brake and block
the trailer tires.
