Just for your interest, verbs like 託 (たく) する, which consist of a kanji and the verb -suru, are quite unstable in modern Japanese. They can be group I verbs. I would say 託す, a group I verb, instead of 託する, a suru verb.

1. Commonly used as suru verbs: 圧 (あっ) する, 逸 (いっ) する, 反 (はん) する, etc.
2. Commonly used as group I verbs except the nonpast form: 愛 (あい) する (you say 愛さない, 愛せ, and 愛そう, not *愛しない, *愛しろ, or *愛しよう, though you can say both 愛する and 愛す), 要 (よう) する, etc.
3. Commonly used as group I verbs (-す): 辞 (じ) す, 託す, etc.
4. Commonly used as group II verbs (-じる): 案 (あん) じる, 演 (えん) じる, 応 (おう) じる, etc.
5. Commonly used as group II verbs (-せる): only 魅 (み) せる (influenced by 見 (み) せる)
