Creating a Distributor Account
Prior to installing the Turf Guard system, you will need to set up a distributor account to access turfguard.net .
To set up the distributor account, simply e mail the desired user name and password to
tgaccount@toro.com
.
Distributors may set multiple accounts as they wish (for example, one per branch, one per sales rep, etc.). You
will get an e mail notification if the desired user name has already been taken.
Account Setup
Once you have been assigned a distributor User Name and Password, you can proceed to the account setup
process. To initiate your account setup, go to install.turfguard.net (do not include www).

where it is located. Click
search
to process. See
Figure 2
. You do not need to provide information for
all the fields to process a search. The more criteria entered in the fields, the narrower the search will be.

example, enter “Toro” for the Course Name instead of “Toro Country Club”.

you enter the course address under Superintendent’s address as Toro will use this to send replacement
sensors, etc. See Figure 3 .

system use this ID to route data inside its servers. Enter the ID number in the Base Station ID field
under
