Understanding Smart Power™ Traction; Reversing Fan Operation; Understanding Auto Idle; Using Cruise Control - Toro 30605 Operator's Manual

Stopping 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 the engine
off. Failure to do so may lead to turbocharger trouble.
Note: Lower the mower decks to the ground whenever you
park the machine. 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 PTO switch to the O
2. Set the parking brake.
3. Move the engine-speed switch to the L
position.
4. Rotate the ignition key to the O
5. Remove the key from the switch to prevent accidental
starting.
Understanding Smart Power™
Traction
With Toro Smart Power™ traction, the operator does not
have 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. The operator can simply set a max ground
speed, that is comfortable, and mow without having to
manually reduce the traction speed when mowing in heavy
conditions.

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

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
IGH OW IDLE
switch you press.

Adjusting the Mowing Speed

Supervisor (Protected Menu)
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 Using the InfoCenter Control (page 15)
procedure to set the mow speed.
Operator
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.
