Trailer Towing
The Workman
®
is capable of pulling trailers and
attachments of greater weight than the vehicle itself.
Several types of tow hitches are available for the
Workman
®
, depending on your application. Contact
your Authorized TORO Distributor for details.
When equipped with a tow hitch bolted onto rear axle
tube, your Workman
®
can tow trailers or attachments
with a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) up to 560 kg
Always load a trailer with 60% of the cargo weight in
the front of the trailer. This places approximately 10%
(75 kg. max.) of the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on
the tow hitch of the vehicle.
When towing either standard tongue or 5th wheel
trailers having a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) in
excess of 560 kg, use either a chassis mounted draw
bar hitch (rated for 1306 kg lb. GTW) or 5th wheel kit
with brakes. Trailer brakes are required whenever a
trailer over 560 kg GTW is towed behind a Workman
vehicle.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer (attachment),
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.
Important
To reduce potential for drive-line
damage, use low range.
When towing 5th wheel attachments, like a fairway
aerator, always install the "wheely bar"(included with
the 5th wheel kit) to prevent the front wheels from
lifting off the ground if the towed attachments
movement is suddenly impaired.

Remote Hydraulic Control
(Optional)
The remote hydraulic control kit supplies "live"
hydraulic power from the vehicle pump whenever the
engine is running. The power can be used through the
quick couplers at the rear of the vehicle.
Control Lever Positions
1. FLOAT
2. ON
3. OFF
Off Position: This is the normal position for the
control valve when it is not being used. This position
allows the oil leaving the dump valve to flow through
the remote hydraulic valve to the power steering
circuit. In this position the work ports of the control
valve are blocked and any load will be held by the
check valves in both directions.
Raise (Quick Coupler "B" Position): This is the
position that will lift the rear hitch attachment or apply
®
pressure to quick coupler "B". This also allows return
oil from quick coupler "A" to flow back into the valve
and then out to the power steering circuit. This is a
momentary position and when the lever is released it
spring returns to the center off position.
Important
Use double acting cylinders only. Using a
single acting cylinder does not allow return flow of
hydraulic oil and makes steering more difficult. Using
a single acting cylinder can lower oil level in transaxle
and cause damage to hydraulic pump and transaxle.
On Position: This position is similar to Raise (quick
coupler "B" position). It also directs oil to quick
coupler " B" except that the lever is held in this
position by a detent notch in the control panel. This
allows oil to flow continuously to equipment that uses
a hydraulic motor. This position must only be used on
attachments with a hydraulic motor attached.
