Driving Forward Or Backward - Toro 74191 Operator's Manual

Operation

Driving Forward or Backward

The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place the
throttle control in the "FAST" position for best
attachment performance. Always operate in the full
throttle position when operating attachments.
Forward
1. Release the parking brake; refer to Setting the
Parking Brake, page 20.
2. To go forward, slowly push the motion control
levers forward (Fig. 9).
Note: Engine will kill if motion control
levers are moved with parking brake
engaged.
To go straight, move both motion control levers the
same distance (Fig. 9).
To turn move the motion control lever toward neutral,
on the side you want to turn toward (Fig. 9).
The farther you move the motion control levers in
either direction, the faster the machine will move in
that direction.
Note: The mowing speed reference position
can be felt as extra spring force when
pushing motion controls forward.
Motion control levers return to this
pre-set position, approximately 5 mph,
when forward pressure is reduced.
Below the pre-set speed the motion
control levers remain in their placed
location. For adjusting reference speed
refer to; Adjusting Mowing Speed
Reference Position page 46.
To slow or stop move the motion control levers to
neutral.
