Failure to comply with the instruction may result in personal injury or death. Safe Operating Practices This product is capable of amputating hands and feet. Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious injury or death. WARNING Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless, deadly poison that can kill you. Do not run the engine indoors or in an enclosed area. Training • Read the Operator's Manual and other training material. If the operator(s) or mechanic(s) cannot read English, it is the owner's responsibility to explain this material to them. • Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls, and safety signs. • All operators and mechanics should be trained. The owner is responsible for training the users. • Never let children or untrained people operate or service the equipment. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. • The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for accidents or injuries occurring to himself or herself, other people or property. Preparation DANGER There may be buried power, gas, and/or telephone lines in the work area. Shock or explosion may occur if you dig into them. Have the property or work area marked for buried lines and do not dig in marked areas. Contact your local marking service or utility company to have the property marked (for example, in Australia, call 1100 for the nationwide marking service). • Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and attachments are needed to properly and safely perform the job. Use only accessories and attachments approved by the manufacturer. • Wear appropriate clothing including safety glasses, long pants, safety shoes, and hearing protection. Tie back long hair. Do not wear jewelry. • Inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all objects such as rocks, toys, and wire which can be thrown by the machine. • Use extra care when handling fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. – Use only an approved container – Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke. – Never refuel or drain the machine indoors. • Check that the operator's presence controls, safety switches, and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do not operate unless they are functioning properly. Operation • Only operate in good light, keeping away from holes and hidden hazards. • Be sure all drives are in neutral and parking brake is engaged before starting the engine. Start the engine only from the operator's position. • Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Be sure to travel in the recommended direction on hillsides. Turf conditions can affect the machine's stability. • Slow down and use caution when making turns and when changing directions on slopes. • Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed the engine. • Stop on level ground, lower implements, disengage the auxiliary hydraulics, engage parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key before leaving the operator's position for any reason. • Keep hands and feet away from moving attachments. • Look behind and down before backing up to be sure of a clear path. • Never carry passengers and keep pets and bystanders away. • Slow down and use caution when making turns and crossing roads and sidewalks. • Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. • Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck. • Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision. • Read all attachment manuals. 4

Ensure that the area is clear of other people before

operating the traction unit. Stop the traction unit if anyone enters the area. • Never leave a running traction unit unattended. Always lower the loader arms, shut off the engine, set the parking brake, and remove the key before leaving. • Do not exceed the rated operating capacity, as the traction unit may become unstable which may result in loss of control. • Do not carry a load with the arms raised. Always carry loads close to the ground. • Do not over-load the attachment and always keep the load level when raising the loader arms. Logs, boards, and other items could roll down the loader arms, injuring you. • Never jerk the controls; use a steady motion. • Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. • Do not touch parts which may be hot from operation. Allow them to cool before attempting to maintain, adjust, or service. • Check for overhead clearances (i.e., branches, doorways, electrical wires) before driving under any objects and do not contact them. • Ensure that you operate the traction unit in areas where there are no obstacles in close proximity to the operator. Failure to maintain adequate distance from trees, walls, and other barriers may result in injury as the traction unit backs up during operation if the operator is not attentive to the surroundings. Operate the unit only in areas where there is sufficient clearance for the operator to safely maneuver the product. • Before digging, have the area marked for underground utilities, and do not dig in marked areas. • Locate the pinch point areas marked on the traction unit and attachments and keep hands and feet away from these areas. • Before operating the traction unit with an attachment, ensure that the attachment is properly installed. • Lightning can cause severe injury or death. If lightning is seen or thunder is heard in the area, do not operate the machine; seek shelter. Slope Operation Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. • Do not operate the traction unit on hillsides or slopes exceeding the angles recommended in Stability Data (page 7), and those in the attachment Operator's Manual. See also the Slope Indicator (page 8). • Operate up and down slopes with the heavy end of the traction unit uphill. Weight distribution changes. An empty bucket makes the rear of the traction unit the heavy end, and a full bucket makes the front of the traction unit the heavy end. Most other attachments make the front of traction unit the heavy end. • Raising the loader arms on a slope affects the stability of the machine. Whenever possible, keep the loader arms in the lowered position when on slopes. • Do not remove or add attachments on a slope. • Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from the work area. Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps, as uneven terrain could overturn the traction unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles. • Use only Toro-approved attachments. Attachments can change the stability and the operating characteristics of the traction unit. Warranty may be voided if used with unapproved attachments. • Keep all movements on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. • Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the traction unit loses traction, proceed slowly, straight down the slope. • Avoid turning on slopes. If you must turn, turn slowly and keep the heavy end of the traction unit uphill. • Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The traction unit could suddenly turn over if a track goes over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in. • Do not operate on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding. • Do not park the traction unit on a hillside or slope. Maintenance and Storage • Park the machine on level ground, disengage the auxiliary hydraulics, lower the attachment, set the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key. Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning, or repairing. • Clean debris from attachments, drives, mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills. • Let the engine cool before storing and do not store near flame. • Do not store fuel near flames or drain indoors. • Never allow untrained personnel to service the machine. • Use jack stands to support components when required. • Carefully release pressure from components with stored energy. • Disconnect the battery before making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive last. Connect positive first and negative last. • Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If possible, do not make adjustments with the engine running. • Charge batteries in an open, well-ventilated area, away from spark and flames. Unplug the charger before connecting or disconnecting it from the battery. Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools. 5

Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware

tightened. Replace all worn or damaged decals. • If any maintenance or repair requires the loader arms to be in the raised position, secure the arms in the raised position with the hydraulic cylinder locks. • Keep nuts and bolts tight. Keep equipment in good condition. • Never tamper with safety devices. • Keep the traction unit free of grass, leaves, or other debris buildup. Clean up oil or fuel spills. Allow the traction unit to cool before storing. • Use extra care when handling fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. – Use only an approved container. – Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel when the engine is running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke. – Never refuel the traction unit indoors. – Never store the traction unit or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, such as near a water heater or furnace. – Never fill a container while it is inside a vehicle, trunk, pickup bed, or any surface other than the ground. – Keep container nozzle in contact with the tank during filling. • Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Make any necessary repairs before starting. • Use only genuine Toro replacement parts to ensure that original standards are maintained. • Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Protect your face, eyes, and clothing when working with a battery. • Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from the battery. • Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks; never use your hands. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury requiring surgery within a few hours by a qualified surgeon; otherwise, gangrene may result. 6

The following tables list the maximum slope recommended for the traction unit in the positions listed in the tables. Slopes over

the listed degree may cause the traction unit to become unstable. The data in the tables assume that the loader arms are fully lowered; raised arms may affect the stability. In each attachment manual is a set of 3 stability ratings, 1 for each hill position. To determine the maximum slope you can traverse with the attachment installed, find the degree of slope that corresponds to the stability ratings of the attachment. Example: If the attachment installed on a TX 427 traction unit has a Front Uphill rating of B, a Rear Uphill rating of D, and a Side Uphill rating of C, then you could drive forward up a 20° slope, rearward up a 12° slope, or sideways on a 14° slope, as listed in the following table for the TX 427 traction unit. Model 22342HD Maximum Recommended Slope when Operating with: Front Uphill Rear Uphill Side Uphill Configuration Traction unit without attachment 11° 21° 19° Traction unit with an attachment rated with one of the following stability ratings for each slope position:* A 25° 25° 20° B 20° 20° 18° C 17° 17° 14° D 10° 12° 9° E 5° 5° 5° Stability with a Loaded Bucket For TX Traction Units or Wheeled Traction Units without a Counterweight B D B For Wheeled Traction Units with a Counterweight B D C Stability with an Unloaded Bucket For TX Traction Units or Wheeled Traction Units Without a Counterweight D C C For Wheeled Traction Units with a Counterweight D B B 7

Auxiliary-Hydraulics Lever To operate a hydraulic attachment in the forward direction, rotate the auxiliary-hydraulics lever rearward and pull it down to the reference bar (Figure 13, number 1). To operate a hydraulic attachment in reverse direction, rotate the hydraulics lever rearward, then move it left into the upper slot (Figure 13, number 2). If you release the lever while in the forward position, the lever automatically returns to the neutral position (Figure 13, number 3). If it is in the reverse position, it remains there until you pull it out of the slot. Figure 13 1. Forward-flow hydraulics 3. Neutral 2. Reverse-flow hydraulics Parking-Brake Lever To set the parking brake, push the brake lever forward and to the left and then pull it rearward (Figure 14). Note: The traction unit may roll slightly before the brakes engage in the drive sprocket. Figure 14 To release the brake, push the lever forward and then right, into the notch. Fuel Gauge This gauge measures the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. Hydraulic-Fluid Temperature Light If the hydraulic fluid gets too hot, this light illuminates and an audible alarm sounds. If this happens, shut off the engine and allow the traction unit to cool. 14

When the engine is off, the hour meter/tachometer displays

the number of hours of operation that have been logged on the traction unit. When the engine is running, it displays the speed of the engine in revolutions per minute (rpm). After 50 hours and then every 100 hours thereafter (150, 250, 350, etc.), the screen displays CHG OIL to remind you to change the engine oil. After every 100 hours, the screen displays SVC to remind you to perform the other maintenance procedures based on a 100-, 200-, or 400–hour schedule. These reminders come on starting 3 hours prior to the service interval time and flash at regular intervals for 6 hours.

Contact your Authorized Service Dealer or Distributor or go to www.Toro.com for a list of all approved attachments and accessories. Important: Use only Toro approved attachments. Other attachments may create an unsafe operating environment or damage the traction unit. 15

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine

from the normal operating position. Important: Before operating, check the fuel and oil level and remove debris from the traction unit. Also, ensure that the area is clear of people and debris. You should also know and have marked the locations of all utility lines. Adding Fuel • For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method). • Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same. Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for use. Never use gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol ). Using unapproved gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine damage which may not be covered under warranty. • Do not use gasoline containing methanol. • Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers over the winter unless you use a fuel stabilizer. • Do not add oil to gasoline. Important: To reduce starting problems, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with fuel less than 30 days old; run the machine dry before storing it for more than 30 days. Do not use fuel additives other than a fuel stabilizer/conditioner. Do not use fuel stabilizers with an alcohol base such as ethanol, methanol, or isopropanol. DANGER In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property. • Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills. • Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer. • Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows fuel to expand. • Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be ignited by a spark. • Store fuel in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30-day supply of fuel. • Do not operate without the entire exhaust system in place and in proper working condition. DANGER In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released, causing a spark, which can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property. • Always place fuel containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling. • Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge. • When practical, remove equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground. • If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container rather than from a fuel-dispenser nozzle. • If you must use a fuel-dispenser nozzle, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Filling the Fuel Tank 1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower the loader arms, and shut off the engine. 2. Remove the key and allow the engine to cool. 3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove it. 16

Note: The cap is tethered to the fuel tank.

4. Add unleaded fuel to the fuel tank, until the level is just below the bottom of the filler neck. Important: This space in the tank allows fuel to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. 5. Install the fuel tank cap securely, turning it until it clicks. 6. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled. Using Stabilizer/Conditioner Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the traction unit to provide the following benefits: • Keeps fuel fresh during storage of 90 days or less. For longer storage, drain the fuel tank. • Cleans the engine while it runs • Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel system, which causes hard starting Important: Do not use fuel additives containing methanol or ethanol. Add the correct amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner to the fuel. Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh fuel. To minimize the chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times. Checking the Engine-Oil Level Service Interval: Before each use or daily 1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower the loader arms, and shut off the engine. 2. Remove the key and allow the engine to cool. 3. Open the hood. 4. Clean around the oil dipstick (Figure 15). Figure 15 1. Oil dipstick 2. Metal end 5. Pull out the dipstick and wipe the metal end clean (Figure 15). 6. Slide the dipstick fully into the dipstick tube (Figure 15). 7. Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal end. 8. If the oil level is low, clean around the oil-filler cap and remove the cap (Figure 16). Figure 16 1. Filler cap 2. Valve cover 9. Slowly pour only enough oil into the valve cover to raise the level to the F (Full) mark. Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with oil to prevent damaging the engine. 10. Replace the filler cap and dipstick. 11. Close the hood. Checking the Hydraulic-Fluid Level Service Interval: Every 25 hours Hydraulic Tank Capacity: 45.4 L (12 US gallons) Refer to Changing the Hydraulic Fluid (page 42) for hydraulic-fluid specifications. Important: Always use the correct hydraulic fluid. Unspecified fluids will damage the hydraulic system. 1. Remove the attachment, if one is installed; refer to Removing an Attachment (page 23). 2. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower the loader arms, and fully retract the tilt cylinder. 3. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and allow the engine to cool. 4. Open the hood and remove the left side screen. 5. Clean the area around the filler neck of the hydraulic tank (Figure 17). 6. Remove the cap from the filler neck and check the fluid level on the dipstick (Figure 17). The fluid level should be between the marks on the dipstick. 17

If the level is low, add enough fluid to raise it to the

proper level. 8. Install the cap on the filler neck. 9. Replace the left side screen and close the hood. Starting and Stopping the Engine Starting the Engine 1. Ensure that the auxiliary hydraulics lever is in neutral. 2. Move the choke lever forward to the ON position if you are starting a cold engine. 3. Move the throttle lever midway between SLOW (turtle) and FAST (rabbit) positions. Note: A warm or hot engine may not require choking. 4. Turn the ignition key to the START position. When the engines starts, release the key. Important: Do not engage the starter for more than 10 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start, allow a 30 second cool-down period between attempts. Failure to follow these instructions can burn out the starter motor. 5. After the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever back to the OFF position. If the engine stalls or hesitates, pull the choke out again until the engine warms up. 6. Move the throttle lever to desired setting. Important: If the engine is run at high speeds when the hydraulic system is cold (i.e., when the ambient air temperature is near freezing or lower), hydraulic system damage could occur. When starting the engine in cold conditions, allow the engine to run in the middle throttle position for 2 to 5 minutes before moving the throttle to fast (rabbit). Note: If outdoor temperature is below freezing, store the traction unit in a garage to keep it warmer and aid in starting. Stopping the Engine 1. Move the throttle lever 3/4 of the way to the FAST position. 2. Lower the loader arms to the ground. 3. Turn the ignition key off. Note: If you set the throttle lower than halfway to fast, the engine continues to run for 1 second after turning the key to the OFF position, preventing a loud afterfire bang. Note: If the engine has been working hard or is hot, let it run for a minute before turning the ignition key off. This helps cool the engine before you shut it off. In an emergency, you can shut off the engine immediately. Stopping the Traction Unit To stop the traction unit, release the traction control, move the throttle lever to slow (turtle), lower loader arms to the ground, and shut off the engine. Set the parking brake and remove the key. CAUTION A child or untrained bystander could attempt to operate the traction unit and be injured. Remove the key from the switch when leaving the traction unit, even if just for a few seconds. 18

Moving a Non-Functioning

Traction Unit Important: Do not tow or pull the traction unit without first opening the tow valves, or the hydraulic system will be damaged. 1. Shut off the engine. 2. Open the rear-access cover. 3. Using a wrench, turn the tow valves on the hydraulic pumps twice counter-clockwise (Figure 18). Figure 18 1. Left tow valve (right track) 2. Right tow valve (left track) 4. Tow the traction unit as required. 5. When the traction unit has been repaired, close the tow valves before operating it. Using the Cylinder Lock WARNING The loader arms may lower when in the raised position crushing anyone under them. Install the cylinder lock before performing maintenance that requires raised loader arms. Installing the Cylinder Lock 1. Remove the attachment. 2. Raise the loader arms to the fully raised position. 3. Shut off the engine. 4. Remove the lynch pin securing the cylinder lock to the loader arm (Figure 19). G004182 3 2 1 Figure 19 1. Cylinder lock 3. Lynch pin 2. Lift cylinder 5. Lower the cylinder lock over the cylinder rod and secure it with the lynch pin (Figure 19). 6. Slowly lower the loader arms until cylinder lock contacts the cylinder body and rod end. Removing/Storing the Cylinder Lock Important: Ensure that the cylinder lock is removed from the rod and fully secured in the storage position before operating the traction unit. 1. Start the engine. 2. Raise the loader arms to the fully raised position. 3. Shut off the engine. 4. Remove the lynch pin securing the cylinder lock. 5. Rotate the cylinder lock up to the loader arm and secure it with the lynch pin. 6. Lower the loader arms. 19

Important: If you are using an attachment with a

serial number of 200999999 or earlier, the manual for the attachment may contain information specific to the use of the attachment with other traction units, such as settings for the flow divider control and speed selector lever and the use of a counterweight on the traction unit. These systems are built into the TX, and you should ignore any references to them. Installing an Attachment Important: Use only Toro-approved attachments. Attachments can change the stability and the operating characteristics of the traction unit. The warranty of the traction unit may be voided if used 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 traction unit. 2. Start the engine. 3. Tilt the attachment mount plate forward. 4. Position the mount plate into the upper lip of the attachment receiver plate (Figure 20). Figure 20 1. Mount plate 2. Receiver plate 5. Raise the loader arms while tilting back the mount plate at the same time. Important: The attachment should be raised enough to clear the ground, and the mount plate should be tilted all the way back. 6. Shut off the engine. 7. Engage the quick-attach pins, ensuring that they are fully seated in the mount plate (Figure 21). Important: If the pins do not rotate to the engaged position, the mount plate is not fully aligned with the holes in the attachment receiver plate. Check the receiver plate and clean it if necessary. Figure 21 1. Quick-attach pins (shown in engaged position) 3. Engaged position 2. Disengaged position WARNING If you do not fully seat the quick-attach pins through the attachment mount plate, the attachment could fall off the traction unit, crushing you or bystanders. Ensure that your quick-attach pins are fully seated in the attachment mount plate. 20

Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses

WARNING 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; otherwise, gangrene may result. • Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic fluid. • Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks; never use your hands. CAUTION 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. If the attachment requires hydraulics for operation, connect the hydraulic hoses as follows: 1. Shut off the engine. 2. Move the auxiliary-hydraulics lever forward, backward, and back to the neutral position to relieve pressure at the hydraulic couplers. 3. Move the auxiliary-hydraulics lever forward into the DETENT 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 relieve any pressure buildup in the attachment. 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 the NEUTRAL position. Maximum Material Density at Capacity The density of materials being moved by the bucket varies and therefore so will the amount of a given material that can be carried by the bucket before the maximum load rating is reached. The first table lists the density of material that can be carried, both heaped and struck (i.e., leveled off), in the bucket. The second table lists common materials and their densities. To move materials with densities greater than the maximum allowed for the bucket, reduce the volume of material placed in the bucket. 21

When the latch contacts the mounting plate, the platform slides down into the tube and locks in place. Figure 22 To unfold the platform, pull up on it until the latch releases and then swing it out and down (Figure 23). Figure 23 22

Removing an Attachment

1. Lower the attachment to the ground. 2. Shut off 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 the neutral position 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, set the parking brake, and shut off the engine. 2. Secure the traction unit to the trailer with chains or straps using the tie-down/lift loops (Figure 4) 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 4). Loading the Machine Use extreme caution when loading or the unloading machine onto a trailer or a truck. Use a full-width ramp that is wider than the machine for this procedure. Load and unload the machine with the heavy end up the ramp. If the machine has an attachment, drive the machine forward up the ramp and back it down the ramp (Figure 24); if the machine does not have an attachment, back the machine up the ramp and drive it forward down the ramp (Figure 25). Figure 24 Machines with an attachment 1. Drive the machine forward up the ramp. 2. Back the machine down the ramp. Figure 25 Machines without an attachment 1. Back the machine up the ramp. 2. Drive the machine forward down the ramp. Important: Do not use narrow individual ramps for each side of the machine. Ensure that the ramp is long enough so that the angle with the ground does not exceed 17 degrees (Figure 26). On flat ground, this requires a ramp to be at least 4 times as long as the height of the trailer or truck bed to the ground. A steeper angle may cause mower components to get caught as the machine moves from the ramp to the trailer or truck. Steeper angles may also cause the machine to tip or lose control. If you are loading the machine on or near a slope, position the trailer or truck so that it is on the down side of the slope and the ramp extends up the slope. This minimizes the ramp angle. 23

Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck increases

the possibility of tip-over and could cause serious injury or death. • Use extreme caution when operating a machine on a ramp. • Use only a full-width ramp; do not use individual ramps for each side of the machine. • Do not exceed a 17-degree angle between the ramp and the ground or between the ramp and the trailer or truck. • Ensure that the length of ramp is at least 4 times as long as the height of the trailer or truck bed to the ground. This ensures that ramp angle does not exceed 17 degrees on flat ground. • Load and unload the machine with the heavy end up the ramp. • Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration while driving the machine on a ramp as this could cause a loss of control or a tip-over situation. g027996 5 1 2 6 Figure 26 1.

Lower the loader arms, shut off the engine, and remove the key. 2. Syphon the fuel from the tank using a pump-type syphon. Note: Now is the best time to install a new fuel filter because the fuel tank is empty. Electrical System Maintenance Servicing the Battery Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Check the battery-electrolyte level (replacement battery only). Every 100 hours—Check the battery cable connections. WARNING CALIFORNIA Proposition 65 Warning Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Important: The following procedures apply when servicing a (dry) battery that has replaced the original battery. The original (wet) battery does not require service. Always keep the battery clean and fully charged. Use a paper towel to clean the battery case. If the battery terminals are corroded, clean them with a solution of 4 parts water and 1 part baking soda. Apply a light coating of grease to the battery terminals to reduce corrosion. Voltage: 12 V, 585 A (cold cranking) Checking the Electrolyte Level 1. Shut off the engine and remove the key. 2. Remove the 4 bolts securing the battery cover and remove it from over the battery. 3. Look at the side of the battery. The electrolyte must be up to the Upper line (Figure 43). Do not allow the electrolyte to fall below the Lower line (Figure 43). 33

If the electrolyte is low, add the required amount of

distilled water; refer to Adding Water to the Battery (page 34). Adding Water to the Battery The best time to add distilled water to the battery is just before you operate the traction unit. This lets the water mix thoroughly with the electrolyte solution. DANGER Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a deadly poison and causes severe burns. • Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect your hands. • Fill the battery where clean water is always available for flushing the skin. 1. Disconnect the negative (black) cable from the negative (-) battery post. WARNING Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the tractor and cables, causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. • Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable. • Always connect the positive (red) battery cable before connecting the negative (black) cable. 2. Disconnect the positive (red) cable from the positive (+) battery post. 3. Remove the battery from the traction unit. Important: Never fill the battery with distilled water while the battery is installed in the traction unit. Electrolyte could be spilled on other parts and cause corrosion. 4. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel. 5. Remove the filler caps from the battery (Figure 43). 6. Slowly pour distilled water into each battery cell until the electrolyte level is up to the Upper line (Figure 43) on the battery case. Important: Do not overfill the battery because electrolyte (sulfuric acid) can cause severe corrosion and damage to the chassis. 7. Wait 5 to 10 minutes after filling the battery cells. Add distilled water, if necessary, until the electrolyte level is up to the Upper line (Figure 43) on the battery case. 8. Install the battery filler caps. Charging the Battery WARNING Charging the battery produces gasses that can explode. Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and flames away from battery. Important: Always keep the battery fully charged (1.265 specific gravity). This is especially important to prevent battery damage when the temperature is below 0°C (32°F). 1. Check the electrolyte level; refer to Checking the Electrolyte Level (page 33). 2. Make sure that the filler caps are installed in the battery. 3. Charge the battery for 10 to 15 minutes at 25 to 30 A or 30 minutes at 4 to 6 A (Figure 44). Do not overcharge the battery. 34
