Transporting the Vehicle
For moving the vehicle long distances, a trailer should be
used. Make sure that the vehicle is secured to the trailer. Refer
to Figure 15 and Figure 16 for the location of the tie-down
points.
CAUTION
Loose seats may fall off of the vehicle and trailer
when transporting and land on another vehicle or
become an obstruction on the road.
Remove the seats or make sure that the seats are
securely fastened in the detents.

Towing the Vehicle
In case of an emergency, the vehicle can be towed for a short
distance. However, we do not recommend this as a standard
procedure.
WARNING
Towing at excessive speeds could cause a loss of
steering control, resulting in personal injury.
Never tow the vehicle faster than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Towing the vehicle is a two person job. If the machine must
be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or
trailer; refer to Transporting the Vehicle.

Towing a Trailer
The vehicle is capable of pulling trailers. Two types of tow
hitches are available for the vehicle, depending on your
application. Contact your Authorized Toro Distributor for
details.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload your
vehicle or trailer. Overloading can cause poor performance
or damage to the brakes, axle, engine, transaxle, steering,
suspension, body structure, or tires. Always load a trailer with
60% of the cargo weight in the front of the trailer. This places
approximately 10% of the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on
the tow hitch of the vehicle.
The maximum cargo load shall not exceed 1250 lb (567 kg),
including the GTW . For example, if the GTW = 400 lb
(181.5 kg) then the maximum cargo load = 850 lb (386 kg)
To provide adequate braking and traction, always load the
cargo box when trailering. Do not exceed the GTW or GVW
limits.
Avoid parking a vehicle with a trailer on a hill. If you must
park on a hill, engage the parking brake and block the trailer
tires.
