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.
•

–
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.

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.

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.

Attachments/Accessories
A selection of Toro approved attachments and accessories is available for use with the machine to enhance and expand
its capabilities. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
