Toro 22303 Operator's Manual page 21

Move the speed selector lever to the slow (turtle)
position to set the auxiliary hydraulics to high speed
and the traction drive, loader arms, and attachment tilt
to low speed.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
If the speed selector lever is moved while
the traction unit is in motion, the traction
unit will either stop suddenly or accelerate
quickly.
If the traction unit is operated with the
speed selector lever in an intermediate
position, the traction unit will operate
erratically and may be damaged.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
You could be thrown forward or backward,
resulting in injury.
If the traction unit accelerates quickly, you
could lose control of the traction unit and
injure bystanders or yourself.
You could lose control of the traction unit,
severely injuring yourself or others.
The traction unit could be damaged.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not move the speed selector lever when
the traction unit is in motion.
Do not operate the traction unit when the
speed selector is in any intermediate
position (i.e., any position other than fully
forward or fully rearward).
Flow Divider Control
The traction unit hydraulics (i.e., the traction drive,
loader arms, and attachment tilt) work on a separate
hydraulic circuit from the auxiliary hydraulics for
powering attachments; however, the two systems
share the same hydraulic pumps. Using the flow
divider control (Fig. 13), you can vary the speed of
the traction unit hydraulics by diverting hydraulic
flow to the auxiliary hydraulics circuit. The flow
divider allows you to divide the flow of fluid in
varying degrees to slow the traction unit. Thus, the
more hydraulic flow you divert to the auxiliary
hydraulics, the slower the traction unit hydraulics will
move.
Note: The flow divider position (i.e., 9–12
o'clock) is determined when standing
in the normal operator's position.
Figure 13 shows the flow divider from
the front.

3. 12 o'clock position
Move the flow divider control to the twelve
o'clock position to provide maximum speed to
the traction unit hydraulics.
Use this setting for fast operation of the traction
unit.
Move the flow divider control between the
twelve o'clock and nine o'clock positions to
slow the traction unit hydraulics and fine tune
the speed.
Use a setting in this range with attachments with
hydraulics where you need to both run the
attachment and move the traction unit
hydraulics, such as the auger, boring unit,
hydraulic blade, and tiller.
Move the control to the nine o'clock position to
transfer all hydraulic flow to the auxiliary
hydraulics of the attachment.
In this setting, the traction unit hydraulics will
not work. Use this setting with hydraulic
attachments that do not required the traction unit
hydraulics. There are currently no attachments
that require the nine o'clock position; however,
