starter failure may result. If the engine fails
to start after 30 seconds, turn the key to
the O position, check the controls and

procedures, wait 30 additional seconds, and
repeat the starting procedure.
5. Allow the engine to warm up at mid speed
(without load), then move the throttle control to
the desired position.
Important:
Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes
before shutting it off after a full-load operation.
Failure to do so may damage the turbocharger.

Shutting Off the Engine

Important:
Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes
before shutting it off after a full-load operation.
This allows the turbocharger to cool down before
shutting off the engine. Failure to do so may lead
to turbocharger trouble.
Note:
Lower the mower decks to the ground
whenever machine is parked. This relieves the
hydraulic load from the system, prevents wear on
system parts, and also prevents accidental lowering
of the mower decks.
1. Move the throttle control backward to the S
position.
2. Move the PTO switch to the O
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Rotate the ignition key to the O
5. Remove the key from the switch to prevent
accidental starting.
Understanding Smart
Power® Traction
With the Smart Power® function, you do not have
to listen to the engine speed in heavy conditions.
This function prevents bogging down in heavy turf
by automatically controlling the machine speed
and optimizing cutting performance. You can set a
comfortable maximum ground speed and mow without
having to manually reduce the traction speed when
you mow in heavy conditions.
Performing a Fan-Reverse
Operation
The machine-fan speed is controlled by the
hydraulic-fluid temperature and engine-coolant
temperature. When the hydraulic fluid or coolant
reaches a certain temperature, a reverse fan cycle
is automatically initiated. This cycle blows debris off
the rear screen and lowers the engine-coolant and
hydraulic-fluid temperatures.
You can complete a manually-initiated reverse cycle
by simultaneously pressing the right and left buttons
on the InfoCenter. It is recommended that you
manually reverse the fan before you leave the work
area or enter the maintenance or storage area.

Understanding Auto Idle

The machine is equipped with auto idle, which
automatically idles the engine when all the following
functions are not used for a pre-determined time as
previously set in the InfoCenter.

Using the Engine-Speed
Switch
The engine-speed switch has 2 modes to change the
engine speed. By momentarily tapping the switch,
the engine speed increases or decreases in 100-rpm
increments. By holding the switch down, the engine
automatically moves to H

This feature allows the supervisor to set the maximum
mowing speed in increments of 5% between 30 and
100%, at which the operator can mow (low range).
