Operation; Initially Programming The Console Computer - Toro Pro Control XP Operator's Manual

Operation

The console computer automatically controls the spray
application rate for varying vehicle speeds. You set the
target volume per unit area to spray and the console
computer automatically maintains the flow within the
proper range of the vehicle speed and continually
displays the actual volume of material per area sprayed.
The console computer also monitors the area sprayed,
the speed of the vehicle, and the total volume of
material sprayed.
Important: A manual override switch allows the
operator to manually control the flow for system
inspection and spot spraying.
Note: If the console computer malfunctions, you can
spray manually by unplugging the cables from the rear
of the console computer. You can then control the
spray application rate using the center console controls.
In this section, the procedure will use the following
naming convention:
• The labels on the console computer keys are
enclosed in brackets. For example: Press the [Enter]
key.
• The data you enter is in boldface type preceded by
the word Press. For example: Press 123.
• The data shown in the display is in normal type,
with letters in all caps.

per hectare), or TU (volume per 1,000 sq. ft.):
1. Press the [CE] key until you see your desired code
(US, SI, TU) in the display.
2. Press the [Enter] key.
Note: If you make a data entry error, reset the
console computer by turning the power switch to
the Off position and, while pressing and holding
the [CE] key, turning the power switch to the On
