Extending The Axle - Toro MMX-650E-S Operator's Manual

Connecting the Safety Chains to
the Tow Vehicle
Connect the safety chain to the machine and the tow
vehicle as follows:
1. Pull the safety chain through the slots in the
keyholes located in the front post of the machine,
so that there is just enough slack on each side
for turning around corners when towing the
machine (Figure
Note:
Stow the excess chain inside the bottom
of the front post by pushing it into the keyholes
and latching the appropriate links into the
keyhole slots.
2. Cross both lengths of chain under the tow pole.
Note:
Crossing the chains decreases the
chances of the front of the machine dropping
to the ground if the hitch does not hold the
connection.

WARNING
The machine is not stable when towing it with

Tow the machine with the axle in the wide
position.
Important:
Adjust the axle to the narrow position
only to move the machine through a narrow
access point, such as the gate of a fence or the
doorway of a building.
