Using The Wheel-Clutch Levers; Operating The Speed Selector; Operating The Auger/Impeller Drive - Toro Power Max Heavy Duty 926 OXE Operator's Manual

Using the Wheel-Clutch Levers

The wheel-clutch levers allow you to momentarily disengage
the drive to one or both wheels with the traction-drive lever
still engaged. This enables you to turn and maneuver the
machine easily.
Note: Holding down the traction lever against the handle
engages the traction drive to both wheels.
To turn the machine to the right, lift up on the right
wheel-clutch lever and squeeze it toward the handle
33).
Note: This disengages the drive to the right wheel while
the left wheel continues driving, and the machine turns to
the right.
Note: Similarly, squeezing the left wheel-clutch lever turns
the machine to the left.
When you complete the turn, release the wheel-clutch lever,
and the drive re-engages both wheels
Momentarily squeezing and releasing the left or right
wheel-clutch lever also allows for steering adjustments to keep
the machine going in a straight line, especially in deep snow.
Squeezing both wheel-clutch levers simultaneously disengages
the drive to both wheels. This enables you to manually move
the machine backward without stopping to shift it into a
reverse gear. It also allows you to maneuver and transport the
machine more easily when the engine is not running.
