Check Before Operating Stability Data The following table lists the maximum slope recommended for the traction unit in the positions listed in the table. Slopes over the listed degree may cause the traction unit to become unstable. The data in the table assumes that the loader arms are fully lowered and that the factory installed tires are on the traction unit, inflated to the recommended pressure;...
Before Operating Before operating, check the fuel and oil level, remove debris from the traction unit, and check the tire pressure. Also, ensure that the area is clear of people POTENTIAL HAZARD and debris. You should also know and have marked When fueling, under certain circumstances, the locations of all utility lines.

Use only Group 1 ISO type 46/68 anti–wear hydraulic fluids, recommended for ambient Traction Unit temperatures consistently below 100 F, such as Toro Hy-Pro, Mobil Fluid 424, or other equivalent fluid. IMPORTANT: Operating the engine with a IMPORTANT: Use only the group 1 ISO type blocked grass screen, dirty or plugged cooling 46/68 anti-wear hydraulic fluids.
Check Before Operating Tire Pressure Maintain the air pressure in the tires as specified. Check the tires when they are cold to get the most accurate reading. Pressure: 20–30 psi Note: Use a lower tire pressure (20 psi) when operating in sandy soil conditions to provide better traction in the loose soil.
