Cutting Grass with the Machine (continued)
10. When nearing the opposite edge of the fairway (prior to reaching the edge of the
mowing area), tap the lift/lower control lever rearward to lift the cutting units to the
turnaround position.
11. Perform a tear-shaped turn to quickly line up for your next pass.
12. Press the lift/lower control lever to automatically lower the cutting units from the
turnaround position and continue mowing.
13. After mowing the desired area, follow the perimeter of the area to complete the cleanup
mow pass. This will ensure that all of the turf along the edge of the fairway where the
cutting units were being lifted and lowered is uniformly cut.
Note: Use the Virtual Pedal Stop (VPS) to temporarily set a lower maximum speed to
improve operating control while completing the cleanup pass.
Understanding the Diesel-Particulate Filter and
Regeneration
The diesel-particulate filter (DPF) removes soot from the engine exhaust.
The DPF regeneration process uses heat from the engine exhaust that is increased by the
catalyst to convert accumulated soot into ash.
To keep the DPF clean, remember the following:
• Run the engine at full engine speed when possible to promote DPF self-cleaning.
• Use the correct engine oil.
• Minimize the amount of time that you idle the engine.
• Use only ultra low sulfur diesel fuel.
Operate and maintain your machine with the function of the DPF in mind. Engine under load
generally produces adequate exhaust temperature for DPF regeneration.
IMPORTANT
Minimize the amount of time that you idle the engine or operate the engine at low-
engine speed to help reduce the accumulation of soot in the DPF.
