After the cruise control switch is enabled and the speed is set (Figure 31), use the InfoCenter to adjust the speed setting of the cruise control (Figure 24 and Figure 32).
Understanding the Turnaround Mode Understanding Toro Smart Power™ The turnaround mode allows you convenient, 1-touch control to raise the cutting units above the turf while temporarily stopping the blades, allowing you to focus on driving the machine at the end of a mowing pass, or while navigating other obstacles. With Smart Power, the operator does not have to listen to the engine speed in heavy load conditions.
Shutting Off the Engine rocker switch once the front cutting units are over the mowing area. 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 off the engine. Failure to do so may lead to premature turbocharger failure. Note: Practice to ensure the cutting units do not lower early or mow an unintended area. 9. 10.
Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Operate and maintain your machine with the function of the DPF in mind. Engine load at high idle (full throttle) engine speed generally produces adequate exhaust temperature for DPF regeneration. The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is part of the exhaust system. The diesel-oxidation catalyst of the DPF reduces harmful gasses and the soot filter removes soot from the engine exhaust.
DPF Ash Accumulation • When enough ash accumulates, the engine • The lighter ash is discharged through the exhaust system; the heavier ash collects in the soot filter. • Ash is a residue of the regeneration process. Over • time, the diesel particulate filter accumulates ash that does not discharge with the engine exhaust. • • The computer for the engine calculates the amount of ash accumulated in the DPF.
Types of Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Types of diesel particulate filter regeneration that are performed while the machine is operating: Type of Regeneration Conditions that cause DPF regeneration DPF description of operation Passive Occurs during normal operation of the machine at high-engine speed or high-engine load • The InfoCenter does not display an icon indicating passive regeneration.
Types of diesel particulate filter regeneration that require you to park the machine: (cont'd.) Type of Regeneration Conditions that cause DPF regeneration DPF description of operation Recovery Occurs because the operator ignored requests for a parked regeneration and continued operating the machine, adding more soot to the DPF • When the reset-standby/parked or recovery regeneration icon or ADVISORY #190 displays in the InfoCenter, a recovery regeneration is requested.

Cooling System Maintenance • Preferred: When mixing coolant from a concentrate, mix it with distilled water. Preferred option: If distilled water is not available, use a pre-mix coolant instead of a concentrate. Minimum requirement: If distilled water and pre-mix coolant are not available, mix concentrated coolant with clean drinkable water. • • Cooling System Safety • Swallowing engine coolant can cause poisoning; keep out of reach from children and pets.
3. Check the coolant level in the radiator. The radiator should be filled to the top of the filler neck and the expansion tank filled to the FULL mark (Figure 116). 4. If the coolant is low, add a 50/50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol anti-freeze; refer to Coolant Specification (page 78). Do not use water only or alcohol/methanol based coolants. 5. Install the radiator cap and expansion-tank cap.
6. Brake Maintenance Close the rear screen and secure it with the latch. Adjusting the Service Brakes Adjust the service brakes when there is more than 25 mm (1 inch) of free travel of the brake pedal, or when the brakes do not work effectively. Free travel is the distance the brake pedal moves before you feel braking resistance. 1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, lower the cutting units, shut off the engine, and remove the key. 2.

If the fluid becomes contaminated, contact your authorized Toro distributor, because the system must be flushed. Contaminated fluid looks milky or black when compared to clean oil. 1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, lower the cutting units, shut off the engine, and remove the key. 2. Raise the hood. 3. Disconnect the case return line from the bottom of the reservoir and let the hydraulic fluid flow into a large drain pan. 4.
3. Lower and secure the operator’s seat. 4. Replace the return filter at the right side of the machine (Figure 123). 5. Start the engine and let it run for about 2 minutes to purge air from the system. Shut off the engine and check for leaks. Cutting Unit Maintenance Removing the Cutting Units Checking the Hydraulic Lines and Hoses 1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, lower the cutting units, shut off the engine, and remove the key. 2.
Assembling the Front Roller Installing the Cutting Units 1. Press the first bearing into the roller housing (Figure 126). Press on the outer race only or equally on the inner and outer race. 2. Insert the spacer (Figure 126). 3. Install the hydraulic motor to the cutting unit (Figure 124). Make sure that the O-ring is in position and not damaged. Press the second bearing into the roller housing (Figure 126). Pressing equally on the inner and outer race until the inner race contacts the spacer. 4.
Blade Maintenance 6. Blade Safety • Inspect the blade periodically for wear or damage. • Use care when checking the blades. Wrap the Compare the 12 o’clock measured height to the height-of-cut setting. It should be within 0.7 mm (0.030 inch). The 3 and 9 o’clock heights should be 1.6 to 6.0 mm (0.060 to 0.240 inch) higher than the 12 o’clock setting and within 2.2 mm (0.090 inch) of each other. If any of these measurements are not within specification, proceed to Adjusting the Blade Plane (page 86).
Inspecting and Sharpening the Cutting Unit Blade(s) side. Adjust the other side to within ± 2.2 mm (0.090 inch) of the correct side. 7. Adjust the right and/or left height-of-cut brackets by repeating steps 1 through 4. 8. Secure the carriage bolts and flange nuts. 9. Verify the 12, 3, and 9 o’clock heights. Two areas must be considered when checking and servicing the mower blade—the sail and the cutting edge.
Note: Remove the blades and sharpen them on a grinder. After sharpening the cutting edges, install the blade with the anti-scalp cup and blade bolt; refer to Removing and Installing the Cutting-Unit Blade(s) (page 87). g004653 Figure 130 1.
