Using The Cruise Control - Toro 73551 Operator's Manual

Using the Cruise Control

The cruise control is a switch (Fig. 23) on the right
fender that maintains a set traction control position
without foot pressure. The cruise control only
operates when moving forward.

Engaging the Cruise Control
1. Begin driving the tractor; refer to Driving
Forward or Backward, page 19. While holding
your foot steady on the traction control pedal,
push the cruise control switch (Fig. 23) to the
"SET" position. This locks the traction control
in position and your foot can then be removed
from the traction control. A constant pedal
position will be maintained.
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 pedal, move the cruise control switch
(Fig. 12) 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
1
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.
