Operating The Platform; Driving Forward Or Backward - Toro GrandStand 74583 Operator's Manual

Operating the Platform

The machine can be used with the platform in the up or down
position. It is the operator's preference on which position
to use.
Operating the Machine with the
Platform Up
Operating the machine with the platform up is recommended
for the following:
•
Mowing near drop-offs
•
Mowing small areas where the machine is too large
•
Areas with low, over-hanging branches or obstacles
•
Loading the machine for transport
•
Driving up slopes
To raise the platform, pull the back of the platform up so that
the latch pin and knob lock it into place. Push it tight against
the cushion for the latch pin to lock it into place.
Operating the Machine with the
Platform Down
Operating the machine with the platform down is
recommended for the following:
•
Mowing most areas
•
Driving across slopes
•
Driving down slopes
To lower the platform, push the platform forward against the
cushion to release pressure on the latch pin, then pull the
knob out, and lower the platform (Figure 18).

may lose control of machine, and may cause
