Driving The Machine; Using The Smart Speed Tm Control System - Toro TimeCutter MX 5075 Operator's Manual

Driving the Machine

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.
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place
the throttle control in the F
performance. Always operate in the full throttle
position when mowing.
WARNING
The machine can spin very rapidly. You
may lose control of the machine and cause
personal injury or damage to the machine.
• Use caution when making turns.
• Slow the machine down before making
sharp turns.

Always use caution when backing up and
