PRE-DELIVERY SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Read these instructions thoroughly before
starting the Pre-Delivery Setup.
Even though the vehicle has been set up (with some
minor exceptions) and inspected at the factory, it is
mandatory that EVERY vehicle be properly inspected
and serviced at the dealership prior to being released to
the customer. Experience has shown that dealerships
that properly prepare each vehicle have fewer warranty
problems and more satisfied customers.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS
The following tools will assist the technician during the
set-up process:
• Drill w/Torx Bits
• Impact Wrench
• Metric Socket Set
• Torque Wrench
BATTERY
NOTE: Refer to all warnings and cautions pro-
vided with the battery or battery charger.
This R OV is shipped with a sealed battery. The battery
requires an initial char ge after activ ation as well as periodic
maintenance-charging during periods of non-use or storage.
Activating Battery
Always activate and maintain the battery in accordance
with the following instructions to ensure maximum ser-
vice life and performance from the battery.
Each sealed battery comes with an electrolyte container and
proper amount for each specific battery type. DO NOT add
additional electrolyte to any sealed battery. Sealed battery
electrolyte has a higher concentration of sulfuric acid.
1. Carefully remove and save the sealing strip from the
battery electrolyte container. This will be used to seal
the battery later.
2. Remove and discard the foil sealing strip covering
the fill holes from the battery.
3. Place electrolyte container with the foil-sealed top of
the cells facing down into the fill ports of the battery.
4. Hold the container level in the fill ports of the bat-
tery. Push down to break the seals. Air bubbles will
appear as the ports fill. Do not tilt the electrolyte con-
tainer. Do not remove the container from the battery
until all cells are completely empty.
5. Let the battery stand for 120 minutes (2 Hr) prior to
charging. This will allow the electrolyte to permeate
into the plates for optimum performance.
6. Fully insert the sealing strip over the fill holes by
hand. DO NOT use a hammer.
7. Charge the battery completely before installation.
Charging New Battery
NOTE: Batteries filled with electrolyte are only at
80% of their capacity.
Batteries can be charged two ways - Standard Charge and
Fast Charge. Standard charging is the only recommended
way to charge a battery. It gives the battery optimal per-
formance and battery life.
1. Be sure the charger is unplugged from the 110-volt
electrical outlet.

when the HIGH beam is centered on the vertical
mark 5 cm (2 in.) below the horizontal mark on the
aiming surface.
7. Turn the adjuster nut clockwise to raise the beam
and counterclockwise to lower the beam.
TC004A
RECOMMENDED GASOLINE
The recommended gasoline to use is 87 minimum octane
regular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are added to
the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines containing up to 10%
ethanol or 5% methane are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not necessary
to add a gasoline antifreeze since ethanol will prevent
the accumulation of moisture in the system.
TEST DRIVING
1. Check all mechanical functions.
2. Burnish the brake pads (see Burnishing Brake Pads).
3. Confirm all cables and wiring harnesses are con-
nected and routed correctly.
4. Confirm all lights work correctly: headlights (HI-
LO), taillight/brakelight, gauge, dash.
5. Confirm cooling fan operates normally.
6. After the test drive, check the brake systems.
7. Inspect the owner’s packet to ensure it is complete
(Operator’s Manual, spanner wrench).
8. Visually inspect the entire vehicle for any loose fasten-
ers. T ighten as required to the appropriate specifications.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended
lubricant could cause serious rear drive damage.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only Toro approved gasoline
and/or additives should be used.
10
9. Confirm final “check-off” of items on the Checklist.
BURNISHING BRAKE PADS
Brake pads must be burnished to achieve full braking
effectiveness. Braking distance will be extended until
brake pads are properly burnished.
1. Choose an area sufficiently large to safely acceler-
ate to 50 km/h (30 mph) and to brake to a stop.
2. Accelerate to 50 km/h (30 mph); then press brake
pedal to decelerate to 0-8 km/h (0-5 mph).
3. Repeat procedure twenty times.
TRANSPORTING
NOTE: When transporting the vehicle, make sure
the vehicle is in park.

transported in its normal operating position (on all four
wheels) and secured with hold-down straps in the
proper areas. Shown is the minimum number of hold-
down straps to be used.
PR075A
PR073A
TC028
! WARNING
Do not attempt sudden stops or put yourself into a
situation where a sudden stop will be required until
the brake pads are properly burnished.
! WARNING
Using the Operator’s Manual as a guide, instruct the
customer on the proper use, care, burnishing proce-
dure (when brake pads are new), and maintenance of
the hydraulic brake system.
CAUTION
If using additional hold-down straps in any other
areas, care must be taken not to damage the vehicle.
! WARNING
Use extreme caution when operating a machine on a
ramp.
Ensure that the ROPS will clear the top of an
enclosed trailer.
Use only a full-width ramp; do not use individual
ramps for each side of the machine.
Do not exceed a 15-degree angle between the ramp and
the gr ound or between the ramp and the trailer or truck.
Ensure the length of ramp is at least four times (4X)
as long as the height of the trailer or truck bed to the
ground. This will ensure that ramp angle does not
exceed 15-degrees on flat ground.
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.
