Overview of Powerboost Mode
When the traction power demand continues to increase (e.g., driving on steeper hills) the
48-VDC battery pack powers the generator as an electric motor to assist the diesel engine,
and the 48-VDC battery pack will also drive the cutting-unit reels.
Note: Toro recommends leaving Powerboost ON during most operating conditions. To turn
off Powerboost, scroll down to Powerboost from Machine Settings and press the right

During Operation
Overview of the Machine Operating Characteristics
• When you remove your foot from the traction pedal, the machine dynamically brakes to a
stop.
• The pedal controls are optimized to provide a reactive yet stable response, allowing you
to maintain consistent control over rough terrain, while still allowing for quick, smooth
braking.
• When mowing, the engine speed will automatically raise to high idle.
• The maximum speeds set in the PIN protected menu settings are set by the supervisor to
limit the machine’s maximum traction speed.
• The achievable traction pedal use, cruise control, and pedal stop traction speeds are all
limited by the maximum speeds set in the PIN protected menu.
Machine Operation
• If an obstacle is in the way, lift the cutting units or mow around it.
• When transporting the machine between work areas, shut off the PTO and raise the
cutting units to the fully upward position. This transitions the machine to T
RANSPORT mode.
• Always drive slowly in rough areas.
• Never shut off the machine while driving the machine.
Practice Operating the Machine
To get familiar with the features of the machine, practice operating the machine.
1. Lift the cutting units, disengage the parking brake, press the forward traction pedal, and
carefully drive to an open area.
2. Practice driving the machine, because it has a hydrostatic transmission and its features
can differ from other turf-maintenance machines.
