Understanding Toro Smart
Power™
With Smart Power, the operator does not have to
listen to the engine speed in heavy load conditions.
Smart Power prevents the engine from bogging
down in heavy cutting conditions by automatically
controlling the machine speed and optimizing cutting
performance.
Note:
By default, the Smart Power feature is O

Cutting Grass with the
Machine
1. Disengage the parking brake, disengage the
PTO, and raise the cutting units.
2. Move the throttle to the F
3. Drive the machine to the mowing area.
4. Park the machine approximately 6 m (20 feet)
off the fairway, facing the intended mowing
direction.
5. Lower the cutting units completely with the
lift/lower control lever.
.
6. Engage the PTO.
Note:
The cutting units will not start.
7. Tap the lift/lower control lever rearward to lift the
cutting units to the turnaround position.
Note:
Tapping the lift/lower control lever
without holding it raises the cutting units to the
turnaround position and stops the rotation of the
reels until the cutting units are lowered.
8. Using the traction pedal, approach the mowing
area slowly.
9. Once you reach the edge of the mowing area
to start mowing, lower the cutting units with the
lift/lower control lever.
Note:
Practice to ensure the cutting units do
not lower early or mow an unintended area.
10. Complete the mowing pass.
11. When nearing the opposite edge of the fairway
(prior to reaching the edge of the mowing area),
tap the lift/lower control lever rearward to lift the
cutting units to the turnaround position.
12. Perform a tear-shaped turn to quickly line up for
your next pass.
13. Press the lift/lower control lever to automatically
lower the cutting units from the turnaround
position and continue mowing.
14. After mowing the desired area, follow the
perimeter of the area to complete the cleanup
mow pass. This will ensure that all of the turf
along the edge of the fairway where the cutting
units were being lifted and lowered is uniformly
cut.
Note:
It is recommended to use the Virtual
Pedal Stop (VPS) to temporarily set a lower
max speed to improve operating control while
completing the cleanup pass; refer to
Virtual Pedal Stop (VPS) Feature (page
