To get started you will need to add your Toro residential equipment to your account by clicking on the Add More Equipment button on the Home page. You will need the model and serial number on your Toro residential product. For walk mowers this decal is usually located under the rear spring door were the bag connects to the mower. On zero-turn mowers the decal is located on the frame under the seat. On snow blowers it is usually located at the rear of the unit between the two rear wheels. You will need this 5 digit model number and the serial number to properly enter your residential equipment into your account.
With the PUC installed, MyToro will keep track of your usage to display how long you can use your equipment before it’s time to change the oil, get a new blade, or put on a new belt. When the time is up, you’ll receive a reminder that service is due. Don’t know how to change the oil or what filter you need? MyToro will serve up instructions and diagrams, provide the part numbers you need for the job, or direct you to your local dealer if you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself.
It’s your yard. It’s your pride. It’s MyToro.
Note: the App does not require the PUC to function, but your experience and the usefulness of the App will be greatly enhanced
The PUC uses an accelerometer to capture the vibration caused by a running engine. It is tuned specifically to the vibration levels of the engines that Toro uses and cancels out vibrations caused from being pushed or driven across a surface, or trailered from place to place. Over time, all hour meters are susceptible to small amounts of "drift", but this should be minimal and amount just a few minutes spread over 100's of hours of being used.
Activities such as product usage or maintenance tasks can be added manually. In the activity or maintenance tabs, simply click on the red Add button and enter the task or activity.
You don’t need a PUC for the MyToro app to be useful, but your experience with the app and your product will be greatly enhanced. The PUC captures the time, date and duration that your Toro product is used. This data is used to track usage over time and is necessary to accurately keep track of your products maintenance and service. And, it allows you to track how much of your time is spent doing yardwork.
No. The PUC and the MyToro app is designed to work specifically and exclusively on Toro residential equipment.
Most people don’t do maintenance because they don’t know when and they don’t know how. We get it, it’s difficult to manually track how many times you’ve used your mower, and how long you’ve used it. The PUC does this for you. When the PUC sends this information to your smart device, you’ll have all the information you need to keep your Toro product tuned and in top shape and in turn keeping your lawn looking its best. Keep in mind that the PUC can be moved from one Toro product to another so that you don’t need to buy multiple PUCs for each of your Toro products
