Understanding Smart
Power™ Traction
With Toro Smart Power™ traction, you do not have
to manually balance the traction speed with 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 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
position.
•
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.
