The Smart Turnt Steering Feature; Pushing The Machine By Hand - Toro 73580 Operator's Manual

Operation
2. The cruise control has a "speed–up" feature: If
you initially set it to any speed other than full
speed, you can speed up with your foot on the
traction pedal for as long as you wish. When you
release the traction pedal, the pre–selected cruise
speed resumes automatically.
Disengaging the Cruise Control
1. While holding your foot steady on the traction
control, move the cruise control switch (Fig. 11)
to the "OFF" position.
2. This unlocks the traction control. You must now
use the traction control to move forward.
3. For quick stops, just press the brake pedal. This
automatically disengages the cruise control and
applies the brake at the same time.
IMPORTANT: If you accidentally press the
cruise control while the engine is running and
you are not moving, the machine will
subsequently operate at partial speed in
forward and will not operate in reverse.
To correct this situation, press the cruise
control switch to "OFF," or press the brake
pedal to disengage the cruise control.
The Smart Turn
Feature
The Smart Turn Steering feature automatically
lowers the speed of the tractor in tight turns. The
decrease in speed is directly proportional to the
sharpness of the turn, up to a maximum speed
reduction of 40 percent. This allows you to make
turns at higher speeds without having to change the
speed control position. After the turn, the original
speed is automatically restored.
The Smart Turn Steering feature does not affect
engine speed.
This system was set at the factory and should not
need adjustment.

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Excessive speed when turning can result in
rollover accidents.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Rollover accidents can result in serious
injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not rely on the Smart Turn
feature to avoid accidents while turning.
Do not set the cruise control at higher
speeds when operating on uneven terrain
or slopes.
Read, understand, and follow all
instructions in the operator's manual and
on the machine before starting.

Pushing the Machine by Hand

IMPORTANT: Always push the machine by
hand. Never tow the machine because
transmission damage may occur.
To Push the Machine
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO) and turn the
ignition key to "STOP" to stop the engine.
2. Move the High–Low range lever to the neutral
position "N." This allows the rear wheels to turn
freely.
3. Place the lever back in High or Low after
moving the machine, and set the parking brake.
