Operating Tips - Toro 23102 Operator's Manual

Operating Tips

•
Inspect the area where the cultivator is to be used and
remove all objects such as large rocks, trash, and branches
before cultivating to prevent equipment damage.
•
Always begin cultivating with the slowest ground speed
possible. Increase speed if conditions permit.
•
Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed).
•
Cultivate in long, straight passes. Turning with the tines
lowered causes equipment and property damage.
•
If a rock or other obstruction gets into the tines, stop
the hydraulics and drive the traction unit forward until
the obstruction is dislodged.
•
If you are using a traction unit with a flow divider (some
wheeled units have flow dividers; refer to your traction
unit Operator's Manual), you can use the flow divider to
achieve the optimal rotor and ground speed for your soil
conditions as follows:
1. Set the flow divider to the 9 o'clock position and
the speed selector to the turtle position.
2. Pull the auxiliary hydraulics lever to the operator
grip to start the cultivator.
3. Move the flow divider lever while moving the
traction unit rearward until the cultivation results
are ideal.
