Driving the Machine Driving Forward The drive wheels turn independently, powered by hydraulic motors on each axle. You can turn 1 side in reverse while you turn the other forward, causing the machine to spin rather than turn. This greatly improves the machine maneuverability but may require sometime for you to adapt to how it moves. Note: The engine stops when you move the traction-control with the parking brake engaged. To stop, pull the motion-control levers to the NEUTRAL position. 1.
Driving Backward 3. Adjust the lever to the desired position. 1. Move the levers to the center, unlocked position. The following are only recommendations for use. Adjustments vary by grass type, moisture content, and the height of the grass. 2. To go backward, slowly pull the motion-control levers rearward (Figure 26). Suggested uses: Trim Parking X Heavy, wet grass X Training X Tow Bagging X Mulching X Mow Normal mowing X Transport X Trim This is the lowest speed.
Using the Side Discharge CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended. The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf. Always remove the ignition key and engage the parking brake when leaving the machine unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
Adjusting the Height of Cut 3. Select a hole in the height-of-cut system corresponding to the desired height of cut and insert the pin (Figure 29). The machine is equipped with a foot pedal deck-lift system. You can use the foot pedal to lift the deck briefly to avoid obstacles or lock the deck in the highest height of cut or transport position. You can use the height-of-cut lever with the foot pedal to lock the deck in a specific cutting height. 4.
Adjusting the Anti-Scalp Rollers Using Attachments and Accessories Whenever you change the height-of-cut, it is recommended to adjust the height of the anti-scalp rollers. Use only Toro approved attachments and accessories. If you attach a bucket to the engine guard, use a nylon strap to secure it. 1. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), move the motion-control levers to the NEUTRAL-LOCK position, and engage the parking brake. Important: The bucket weight impacts the stability of the machine.
