Securing The Traction Unit For Transport; Lifting The Traction Unit - Toro 22306 Operator's Manual

Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses
If the attachment requires hydraulics for operation,
connect the hydraulic hoses as follows:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever forward,
backward, and back to neutral to relieve
pressure at the hydraulic couplers.
3. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever into the
reverse position.
4. Remove the protective covers from the
hydraulic couplers on the traction unit.
5. Ensure that all foreign matter is cleaned from
the hydraulic connectors.
6. Push the attachment male connector into the
female connector on the traction unit.
Note: When you connect the attachment
male connector first, you will relieve any
pressure built up in the attachment.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can penetrate skin and cause injury.
Fluid injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury
or gangrene may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject
high pressure hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find
hydraulic leaks, never use your hands.
Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic
lines/valves, and hydraulic fluid may be
hot. If you contact hot components you
may be burned.
• Wear gloves when operating the
hydraulic couplers.
• Allow the traction unit to cool before
touching hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
7. Push the attachment female connector into the
male connector on the traction unit.
8. Confirm that the connection is secure by
pulling on the hoses.
9. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever to neutral.
Removing an Attachment
1. Lower the attachment to the ground.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Disengage the quick attach pins by turning
them to the outside.
4. If the attachment uses hydraulics, move the
auxiliary hydraulics lever forward, backward,
and back to neutral to relieve pressure at the
hydraulic couplers.
5. If the attachment uses hydraulics, slide the
collar back on the hydraulic couplers and
disconnect them.
Important: Connect the attachment
hoses together to prevent hydraulic system
contamination during storage.
6. Install the protective covers onto the hydraulic
couplers on the traction unit.
7. Start the engine, tilt the mount plate forward,
and back the traction unit away from the
attachment.
Securing the Traction Unit
for Transport
When transporting the traction unit on a trailer,
always use the following procedure:
Important: Do not operate or drive the
traction unit on roadways.
1. Lower the loader arms.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Secure the traction unit to the trailer with
chains or straps using the tie-down/lift loops
(Figure 3) to secure the rear of the traction unit
and the loader arms/mount plate to secure the
front of the traction unit.

Lifting the Traction Unit

You can lift the traction unit using the tie-down/lift
loops as lift points (Figure 3).
