Situation: Suggestions for Troubleshooting Controller Interference/Controller Replacement Options
Pro Force Blowers using the wireless controller may exhibit a delayed/erratic nozzle response due to
the stack-up of noise within the operating frequency of the controller. Controller interference (noise) is
typically the combination of external interferences such as irrigation control signals, radio signals,
communication structures, and other ambient noise sources. Toro has developed a new controller to
reduce signal interference for 2012 production Pro Force Blowers. Should you experience delayed or
erratic nozzle operation, there are Service Kit options available at your expense to improve nozzle
function.
Before considering replacement options, review the following symptoms and diagnostic suggestions for
testing Controller function.
Symptom 1: Receiver fails to respond to inputs from the hand-held Controller:
1. Verify the Batteries in the Hand Held Controller are good.
2. Verify the association between Hand Held Controller and the Receiver. Re-associate as needed
(refer to Operator’s Manual).
3. Verify electrical function of system (system power, proper grounding, etc.) Refer to
Operator’s Manual and Service Manual for electrical schematics.
