Four Wheel Drive; Transporting Vehicle; Towing Vehicle; Trailer Towing - Toro 07360 Operator's Manual

Tipping or rolling the vehicle on a hill will cause
serious injury.
• The extra traction available with the
differential lock can be enough to get you
into dangerous situations such as climbing
slopes that are too steep to turn around.
Be extra careful when operating with the
differential lock on, especially on steeper
slopes.
• If the differential lock is on when making a
sharp turn at a higher speed and inside rear
wheel lifts off the ground, there may be a
loss of control which could cause vehicle to
skid (Refer to section on Differential Lock
Operation). Use the differential lock only
at slower speeds.

Four Wheel Drive

Four Wheel Drive Only
The "Automatic on Demand" four wheel drive feature,
on this vehicle does not require operator activation.
The front wheel drive is not engaged (no power
delivered to front wheels) until the rear wheels begin
to lose traction. The bi–directional clutch senses the
rear wheels slipping, engages the front wheel drive and
delivers power to the front wheels. The four wheel
drive system continues to deliver power to the front
wheels until the rear wheels have enough traction to
move the vehicle without slipping. Once this occurs,
the system stops delivering power to the front wheels
and the handling characteristics become similar to that
of a two wheel drive vehicle. The four wheel drive
system functions in both froward and reverse, however,
when turning the rear wheels will slip slightly more
before power is delivered to the front wheels.
Tipping or rolling the vehicle on a hill will cause
serious injury.
• The extra traction available with the four
wheel drive feature can be enough to get you
into dangerous situations such as climbing
slopes that are too steep to turn around.
Be careful when operating, especially on
steeper slopes.

Transporting Vehicle

For moving the vehicle long distances, a trailer should
be used. Make sure the vehicle is secured to the trailer.
Refer to Figure 33 and Figure 34 for location of tie
down points.

Towing Vehicle

In case of emergency, the vehicle can be towed for a
short distance. However, Toro does not recommend
this as a standard procedure.
Towing at excessive speeds could cause vehicle
to lose steering control. Never tow vehicle faster
than 5 MPH.
Towing the vehicle is a two person job. Affix a tow
line to holes in front frame member. Move shifter to
Neutral and release parking brake. If machine must be
moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck
or trailer.
Note: The power steering will not function,
making it difficult (increase effort) to steer.

Trailer Towing

The Workman is capable of pulling trailers and
attachments of greater weight than the vehicle itself.
