Driving The Machine - Toro 18745TE Operator's Manual

Driving the Machine

The drive wheels turn independently, powered by
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 some time
for you to adapt to how it moves.
CAUTION
Positioning one lever too far in front of the
other causes the machine to spin very rapidly.
As a result, you may lose control of the
machine, causing personal injury to you and
damage to the machine.
Slow down the machine before making sharp
turns.
1. Move the motion-control levers down to the
center, unlocked position.
