Driving Forward Or Backward; Stopping The Machine - Toro 16-44 HXLE Manual Del Propietário

Driving Forward or Backward

The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place the
throttle control in the "FAST" position for best
performance.
To go forward or backward, release the parking brake:
refer to Releasing the Parking Brake, page 10. Place
your foot on the traction control pedal and slowly
press on the top of the traction control pedal to move
forward or on the bottom of the traction control pedal
to move backward (Fig. 7). The farther you move the
traction control pedal in either direction, the faster the
machine will move in that direction.
To slow down release the pressure on the traction
control pedal.
IMPORTANT: To avoid transmission
damage, always release the parking brake
before moving the traction control pedal.
