Reversing Fan Operation
The fan speed is controlled by the hydraulic-oil temperature
and engine-coolant temperature. A reverse cycle is
automatically initiated when either the engine coolant or
hydraulic-oil temperature reaches a certain point. This
reversal helps blow debris off the rear screen and lower the
engine and hydraulic-oil temperatures. By simultaneously
pressing the right and left buttons on the InfoCenter, the
fan will complete a manually-initiated reverse cycle. It is
recommended to manually reverse the fan prior to leaving the
work area, entering the shop, or storage area.
Understanding Auto Idle
The machine is equipped with auto idle, which automatically
idles the engine when all of the following functions are
not used, for a pre-determined time, previously set in the
InfoCenter.
•
The traction pedal is returned to the
•
The PTO is disengaged.
•
None of the lift switches are activated.
When any of the above functions are initiated, the
machine will automatically return to the previous throttle
position.
Using Cruise Control
The cruise-control switch locks in the pedal position to
maintain the desired ground speed. Pressing the rear of the
switch turns cruise control off, the middle position of the
switch enables the cruise-control function, and the front of
the switch sets the desired ground speed.
Note: Pressing either the brake pedal or moving the traction
pedal into the reverse position, for 1 second, will also
disengage the cruise control.
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
can be increased or decreased in 100-rpm increments. By
holding the switch down, the engine will automatically move
to H
or L
, depending on which side of the

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. Some points to consider when
operating the traction unit, mower deck, or other implements,
are the transmission, engine speed, load on the mower blades
or other implement components, and the importance of the
brakes.
With Toro Smart Power™, the operator does not have
to listen to the engine speed in heavy conditions. Smart
