Driving The Machine - Toro 74447TE 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 time 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 position for best performance. Always operate in
AST
the full throttle position when mowing.
CAUTION
Machine can spin very rapidly. Operator may lose
control of machine and cause personal injury or
damage to machine.
• Use caution when making turns.
• Slow the machine down before making sharp
turns.
