Attachments/Accessories

A selection of T oro appro v ed attac hments and accessories are a v ailable for use with the mac hine to

enhance and expand its capabilities . Contact y our A uthorized Ser vice Dealer or Distributor or g o to

www .T oro .com for a list of all appro v ed attac hments and accessories .

Important: Use onl y T or o appr o v ed attachments. Other attachments may cr eate an unsafe

operating en vir onment or dama ge the traction unit.

Stability Data

T he follo wing tables list the maxim um slope recommended for the traction unit in the positions listed in

the tables . Slopes o v er the listed deg ree ma y cause the traction unit to become unstable . T he data in the

tables assume that the loader ar ms are fully lo w ered; raised ar ms ma y affect the stability .

In eac h attac hment man ual is a set of three stability ratings , one for eac h hill position. T o deter mine the

maxim um slope y ou can tra v erse with the attac hment installed, ﬁnd the deg ree of slope that cor responds

to the stability ratings of the attac hment. Example: If the attac hment installed on a TX 420 traction

unit has a F ront Uphill rating of B , a R ear Uphill rating of D , and a Side Uphill rating of C , then y ou

could dri v e forw ard up a 20° slope , rearw ard up a 12° slope , or sidew a ys on a 14° slope , as listed in

the follo wing table for the TX 420 traction unit.

Operation

Note: Deter mine the left and right sides of the

mac hine from the nor mal operating position.

Important: Bef or e operating , check the

fuel and oil lev el, and r emo v e de bris fr om the

traction unit. Also, ensur e that the ar ea is clear

of people and de bris. Y ou should also kno w

and ha v e mar k ed the locations of all utility

lines.

Adding Fuel

Use unleaded g asoline (87 pump octane minim um).

Leaded, regular g asoline ma y be used if unleaded

is not a v ailable .

In cer tain conditions, gasoline is extr emel y

ﬂamma ble and highl y explosi v e. A ﬁr e or

explosion fr om gasoline can bur n y ou and

other s and can dama ge pr oper ty .

• Fill the fuel tank outdoor s, in an open

ar ea, when the engine is cold. W ipe up

an y gasoline that spills.

• Nev er ﬁll the fuel tank inside an enclosed

trailer .

• Do not ﬁll the fuel tank completel y full.

Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the

lev el is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm)

belo w the bottom of the ﬁller neck. T his

empty space in the tank allo ws gasoline

to expand.

• Nev er smok e when handling gasoline,

and stay a w ay fr om an open ﬂame or

wher e gasoline fumes may be ignited by

a spar k.

• Stor e gasoline in an appr o v ed container

and k eep it out of the r each of childr en.

Nev er buy mor e than a 30-day suppl y of

gasoline.

• Do not operate without entir e exhaust

system in place and in pr oper w or king

condition.

In cer tain conditions during fueling , static

electricity can be r eleased causing a spar k

which can ignite the gasoline v apor s. A ﬁr e

or explosion fr om gasoline can bur n y ou and

other s and can dama ge pr oper ty .

• Al w ays place gasoline container s on the

g r ound a w ay fr om y our v ehicle bef or e

ﬁlling .

• Do not ﬁll gasoline container s inside

a v ehicle or on a tr uck or trailer bed

because interior car pets or plastic tr uck

bed liner s may insulate the container and

slo w the loss of an y static charge.

• W hen practical, r emo v e gas-po w er ed

equipment fr om the tr uck or trailer and

r efuel the equipment with its wheels on

the g r ound.

• If this is not possible, then r efuel such

equipment on a tr uck or trailer fr om a

por ta ble container , rather than fr om a

gasoline dispenser nozzle.

• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be

used, k eep the nozzle in contact with the

rim of the fuel tank or container opening

at all times until fueling is complete.

Important: Do not use methanol, gasoline

containing methanol, or gasohol containing

mor e than 10% ethanol because the fuel

system could be dama ged. Do not mix oil

with gasoline.

Using Stabilizer/Conditioner

Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the traction

unit to pro vide the follo wing beneﬁts:

• K ee ps g asoline fresh during storag e of 90 da ys

or less . F or long er storag e it is recommended

that the fuel tank be drained.

• Cleans the engine while it r uns

• Eliminates gum-lik e v ar nish buildup in the fuel

system, whic h causes hard star ting

Important: Do not use fuel additi v es

containing methanol or ethanol.

Add the cor rect amount of g as

stabilizer/conditioner to the g as .

Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most

effecti v e when mix ed with fresh g asoline . T o

minimize the c hance of v ar nish de posits in the fuel

system, use fuel stabilizer at all times .

Filling the Fuel Tank

1. P ark the traction unit on a lev el surface , lo w er

the loader ar ms , and stop the engine .

2. R emo v e the k ey and allo w the engine to cool.

3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remo v e it.

4. Add unleaded g asoline to the fuel tank, until

the lev el is just belo w the bottom of the ﬁller

nec k.

Important: T his space in the tank allo ws

gasoline to expand. Do not ﬁll the fuel

tank completel y full.

5. Install the fuel tank cap securely .

6. Wipe up any g asoline that ma y ha v e spilled.

Checking the Engine Oil

Level

1. P ark the traction unit on a lev el surface , lo w er

the loader ar ms , and stop the engine .

2. R emo v e the k ey and allo w the engine to cool.
