Using Attachments

Installing an Attachment
Important:
Use only Toro-approved attachments.
Attachments can change the stability and the
operating characteristics of the machine. The
warranty of the machine may be voided if you use
the machine with unapproved attachments.
Important:
Before installing the attachment,
ensure that the mount plates are free of any dirt or
debris and that the pins rotate freely. If the pins
do not rotate freely, grease them.
1. Position the attachment on a level surface with
enough space behind it to accommodate the
machine.
2. Start the engine.
3. Tilt the attachment mount plate forward.
4. Position the mount plate into the upper lip of the

clean it if necessary.
WARNING
If you do not fully seat the quick-attach
pins through the attachment mount plate,
the attachment could fall off the machine,
crushing you or bystanders.
Ensure that the quick-attach pins are fully
