Power Save Mode (Inactive); Adjusting The Nozzle Direction; Hauling The Machine; Towing The Machine - Toro Pro Force 44553 Operator's Manual

Power Save Mode (Inactive)

The RF2CAN and TEC2403 controllers will revert
to Power Save Mode if the base unit is inactive for
more than 2.5 hours without communication from
the remote control. Power Save Mode is a low
current state of the machine. The machine does not
communicate with the remote control, will not activate
outputs, and will not generally function as normal.
•
When in the time-out mode the engine will not run
(or will quit running) and the remote control will
not control any function.
•
To wake controller in time-out mode, turn the key
switch to the O position and then turn the key
FF
switch to the R position.

Hauling the Machine

•

Tie the machine down securely using straps,
chains, cable, or ropes. Both front and rear straps

should be directed down and outward from the

Towing the Machine

•
Ensure that the hitch and coupling of the towing
vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than, the
trailer gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
•
Always inspect the hitch and coupling for wear.
Never tow the machine with defective hitches,
couplings, or chains.
•
Check the tire air pressure and the tire-tread wear
on the machine.
•
Ensure that the machine is equipped with the
safety chains.
•
Always attach the machine safety chain to the
frame of the towing vehicle.
•
Before towing the machine, check your local state
and county vehicle-towing requirements. In most
cases, the maximum speed for highway towing is
88 km/h (55 mph). Recommended off-road towing
speed must not exceed 24 km/h (15 mph) or less.
•
While the machine is parked and disconnected
from the towing vehicle, place chocked blocks
underneath the wheels to prevent rolling.
•
Ensure that the tire pressure is correct; inflate or
deflate as necessary. Inspect the tires for cuts and
excessive wear.
•
Rotate the chute opening so that it faces upwards.
•
Check the wheel-mounting lug nuts with a torque
wrench. Torque the wheel lug nuts to 95 to 122
N∙m (70 to 90 ft-lb).
•
Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause
skidding or jack knifing. Smooth, gradual starts
and stops will improve the gas mileage.
•
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.

Replace a defective tow bar before you tow
the machine.
Connecting the Machine to
the Towing Vehicle

Check the towing-vehicle hitch ball and machine
coupler for signs of wear or damage. Replace any
