•
Perform a recovery-regeneration whenever
there is a loss of engine power and a parked
regeneration cannot effectively clean the DPF of
soot.
•
A recovery regeneration requires up to 4 hours
to complete.
•
You need a distributor technician to perform the
recovery regeneration process; contact your
Authorized Toro Distributor.
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
on which part of the switch you pressed.
Adjusting the Mowing
Speed
Supervisor (Protected Menu)
This feature allows the supervisor to set the maximum
mowing speed in increments of 50%, 75% or 100%,
at which the operator can mow (low range).
Refer to Setting the Maximum Allowed Mow Speed
(page 22) for the procedure to set the mow speed.
Operator
This feature allows the operator to adjust the
maximum mowing speed (low range), within the
supervisors pre-adjusted settings. When in the
InfoCenter splash or main screen, press the middle
button ( icon) to adjust the speed.
Note:
When switching between low and high ranges,
the settings will transfer based on the previous setting.
The settings are reset when the machine is turned off.
Note:
This feature may also be used in conjunction
with cruise control.
Adjusting the Transport
Speed
Supervisor (Protected Menu)
This feature allows the supervisor to set the maximum
transport speed in increments of 50%, 75% or 100%,
at which the operator can transport (high range).

Understanding the
Operating Characteristics
of the Machine
Practice driving the machine because it has a
hydrostatic transmission and its characteristics are
different than many turf-maintenance machines.
With Toro Smart Power™, you do not need to listen to
the engine speed in heavy conditions. Smart Power
prevents bogging down in heavy turf by automatically
controlling the machine speed and optimizing cutting
performance.
You can use the brakes to assist in turning the
machine, but use them carefully, especially on soft or
wet grass because they can damage the turf. You can
also use the brakes to maintain traction. For example,
in some slope conditions, the uphill wheel slips and
loses traction. If this situation occurs, press the uphill
turn pedal gradually and intermittently until the uphill
wheel stops slipping, thus, increasing traction on the
downhill wheel.
Traction Assist is now automatic and requires no
operator input. When a wheel starts to slip, flow is
automatically split between the front and rear wheels
to minimize wheel slip and loss of traction.
Use extra care when operating the machine on
slopes. Ensure that the seat latch is properly secured
and that you buckle the seat belt. Drive slowly and
avoid sharp turns on slopes to prevent roll overs. For
steering control, the mower deck must be lowered
when going downhill.
Before stopping the engine, disengage all controls and
change the throttle to the S
