While Operating

Warning

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison that can kill you.

Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed area.

  • The operator (and passenger) should remain seated whenever the machine is in motion. The operator should keep both hands on the steering wheel whenever possible. Keep your arms and legs within the machine body at all times.

  • Failure to operate the machine safely may result in an accident, tip over of the machine, and serious injury or death. Drive carefully. To prevent tipping or loss of control:

    • Use extreme caution, reduce speed, and maintain a safe distance around sand traps, ditches, creeks, ramps, unfamiliar areas, or any areas that have abrupt changes in ground conditions or elevation.

    • Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.

    • Use extra caution when operating the machine on wet surfaces, in adverse weather conditions, at higher speeds, or with a full load. Stopping time and distance will increase with a full load.

    • Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from reverse to forward or forward to reverse without first coming to a complete stop.

    • Slow down before turning. Do not attempt sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers or other unsafe driving actions that may cause a loss of sprayer control.

    • Before backing up, look to the rear and ensure that no one is behind you. Back up slowly.

    • Watch out for traffic when you are near or crossing roads. Always yield the right of way to pedestrians and other vehicles. This sprayer is not designed for use on streets or highways. Always signal your turns or stop early enough so that other people know what you plan to do. Obey all traffic rules and regulations.

    • The electrical and exhaust systems of the machine can produce sparks capable of igniting explosive materials. Never operate the machine in or near an area where there is dust or fumes in the air which are explosive.

    • If you are ever unsure about safe operation, stop work and ask your supervisor.

  • Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is running or soon after it has stopped. These areas may be hot enough to cause burns.

  • If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop immediately, wait for all motion to stop, and inspect the machine for damage. Repair all damage before resuming operation.

  • Before getting off of the seat, do the following:

    1. Stop the machine on a level surface.

    2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and set the parking brake.

    3. Shut off the engine by rotating the key for the ignition switch to the OFF position.

    4. Remove the key from the ignition switch.

      Important: Do not park the machine on an incline.

  • Lightning can cause severe injury or death. If lightning is seen or thunder is heard in the area, do not operate the machine; seek shelter.

Braking

  • Slow down before you approach an obstacle. This gives you extra time to stop or turn away. Hitting an obstacle can damage the machine and its contents. More important, it can injure you.

  • Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) has a major impact on your ability to stop and/or turn. Heavy loads and attachments make a sprayer harder to stop or turn. The heavier the load, the longer it takes to stop.

  • Turf and pavement are much more slippery when they are wet. It can take 2 to 4 times as long to stop on wet surfaces as on dry surfaces. If you drive through standing water deep enough to get the brakes wet, they will not work well until they are dry. After driving through water, you should test the brakes to make sure that they work properly. If they do not, drive slowly while putting light pressure on the brake pedal. This will dry the brakes out.

ROPS Safety

Note: For each machine covered in this Operator’s Manual, a cab installed by Toro is a ROPS.

  • Do not remove the ROPS from the machine.

  • Fasten the seat belt and ensure that you can release it quickly in an emergency. Always wear your seat belt when the roll bar is up or on a machine with a cab installed by Toro.

  • Check carefully for overhead obstructions and do not contact them.

  • Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by thoroughly inspecting it periodically for damage and keeping all the mounting fasteners tight.

  • Replace any damaged ROPS component. Do not repair or alter it.

Operating on Hills and Rough Terrain

Operating the machine on a hill may cause tipping or rolling of the machine, or the engine may stall and you could lose headway on the hill. This could result in personal injury.

  • Do not accelerate quickly or suddenly apply the brakes when backing down a hill, especially with a load.

  • Never drive across a steep hill; always drive straight up or down or go around the hill.

  • If the engine stalls or you begin to lose headway while climbing a hill, gradually apply the brakes and slowly back straight down the hill.

  • Turning while traveling up or down hills can be dangerous. If you have to turn while on a hill, do it slowly and cautiously. Never make sharp or fast turns.

  • Heavy loads affect stability. Reduce the weight of the load and your speed when operating on hills.

  • Avoid stopping on hills, especially with a load. Stopping while going down a hill will take longer than stopping on level ground. If you must stop the machine, avoid sudden speed changes, which may initiate tipping or rolling of the machine. Do not suddenly apply the brakes when rolling backward, as this may cause the machine to overturn.

  • Reduce speed and load when operating on rough terrain, uneven ground, and near curbs, holes, and other sudden changes in terrain. Loads may shift, causing the machine to become unstable.

    Warning

    Sudden changes in terrain may cause abrupt steering wheel movement, possibly resulting in hand and arm injuries.

    Use care when driving the machine in terrain that changes abruptly.

  • Grip the steering wheel loosely around the perimeter. Keep your hands clear of the steering wheel spokes.

Loading the Liquid

The weight of the cargo can change the center of gravity and handling of the machine. To avoid loss of control and personal injury, follow these guidelines:

  • Liquid loads can shift. This shifting happens most often while turning, going up or down hills, suddenly changing speeds, or while driving over rough surfaces. Shifting loads can cause the machine to tip over.

  • When operating with a heavy load, reduce your speed and allow for sufficient braking distance. Do not suddenly apply the brakes. Use extra caution on slopes.

  • Be aware that heavy loads increase your stopping distance and reduce your ability to turn quickly without tipping over.

Maintenance

  • Only permit qualified and authorized personnel to maintain, repair, adjust, or inspect the machine.

  • Before performing any maintenance, ensure that the system has been thoroughly rinsed and cleaned.

  • Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, shut off the engine, set the parking brake, and remove the key to prevent someone from accidentally starting the engine.

  • To make sure that the entire machine is in good condition, keep all nuts, bolts, and screws properly tightened.

  • To reduce the potential for fire, keep the engine area free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and accumulation of dirt.

  • Never use an open flame to check the level or leakage of fuel or battery electrolyte.

  • If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance adjustment, keep your hands, feet, clothing, and any parts of your body away from the engine and any moving parts. Keep everyone away.

  • Do not use open pans of fuel or flammable cleaning fluids when cleaning parts.

  • Do not adjust the traction control speed. To ensure safety and accuracy, have your Toro Distributor check the ground speed.

  • Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find leaks. Fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury requiring surgery within a few hours by a qualified surgeon or gangrene may result.

  • If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is required, contact your Toro Distributor.

  • To be sure of optimum performance and safety, always purchase genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by other manufacturers could be dangerous. Altering this sprayer in any manner that may affect sprayer operation, performance, durability, or its use, may result in injury or death. Such use could void the product warranty.

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

Note: If you have questions or need additional information regarding the spray control system, refer to the Operator’s Manual supplied with the system.

Important: This sprayer is sold without nozzles and a application-rate controller. A Manual Spray Operation Kit is necessary for the proper function of the machine.To use the sprayer, you must obtain and install nozzles. Contact your Toro Distributor for information on the available boom kit and accessories. After you install your nozzles and before using the sprayer for the first time (if you do not use the base model Spray System), adjust the boom-bypass valves so that the pressure and application rate remains the same for all booms when you turn 1 or more booms off. Refer to Calibrating the Boom-Bypass Valves section in the Operation section.

Checking the Boom-Hinge Springs

Important: Operating the spray system with the boom-hinge springs under the incorrect compression could damage the boom assembly. Measure the springs and use the jam nut to compress the springs to 3.96 cm (1.56 inches), if necessary.

The sprayer may come with the boom extensions swung forward to facilitate packaging of the machine. The springs are not fully tightened at the time of manufacture to allow the booms to be in this position for shipping. Before operating the machine, adjust the springs to the correct compression.

  1. If necessary, remove the packing components that secure the right and left extension booms during shipping.

  2. Support the booms while they are extended to the SPRAY position.

  3. At the boom hinge, measure the compression of the upper and lower springs while the booms are in their extended position (Figure 3).

    1. Compress all springs until they measure 3.96 cm (1.56 inches).

    2. Use the jam nut to compress any springs that measure greater than 3.96 cm (1.56 inches).

Think Safety First

Please carefully read all of the safety instructions and decals in the safety section. Knowing this information could help you or bystanders avoid injury.

Performing Pre-Starting Checks

Check the following items each time you begin using the machine for the day:

  • Check the tire pressure.

    Note: These tires are different than car tires; they require less pressure to minimize turf compaction and damage.

  • Check all fluid levels and add the appropriate amount of specified fluids, if any are found to be low.

  • Check the brake pedal operation.

  • Check to see that the lights are working.

  • With the engine off, check for oil leaks, loose parts, and any other noticeable malfunctions.

If any of the above items are not correct, notify your mechanic or check with your supervisor before taking the machine out for the day. Your supervisor may want you to check other items on a daily basis, so ask what your responsibilities are.

Preparing to Drive the Machine

Checking the Engine-Oil Level

Before you start the engine and use the machine, check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to Checking the Engine Oil.

Checking the Cooling System

Before you start the engine and use the machine, check the cooling system; refer to Checking the Coolant Level.

Checking the Hydraulic System

Before you start the engine and use the machine, check the hydraulic system; refer to Checking the Hydraulic Fluid.

Checking the Tire Pressure

Maintenance Service IntervalMaintenance Procedure
Before each use or daily
  • Check the pressure in the tires.
  • Check the tire air pressure to ensure proper levels. Fill the tires to 124 kPa (18 psi).

    Note: Also, check the tires for wear or damage.

    Checking the Brakes

    Maintenance Service IntervalMaintenance Procedure
    Before each use or daily
  • Check the brakes.
  • Before starting the machine, lightly press the brake pedal. If the pedal travels more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) before you feel resistance, adjust the brakes; refer to Adjusting the Brakes.

    Warning

    If you operate the machine with poorly adjusted or worn brakes, you could lose control of the machine, resulting in serious injury or death to you or bystanders.

    Always check the brakes before operating the machine and keep them properly adjusted and repaired.

    Adding Fuel

    Danger

    In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property.

    • Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.

    • Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.

    • Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 6 to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows gasoline to expand.

    • Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay away from an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.

    • Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.

    • Do not operate without entire exhaust system in place and in proper working condition.

    Danger

    In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark which can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property.

    • Always place fuel containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

    • Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.

    • When practical, remove equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground.

    • If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than from a fuel-dispenser nozzle.

    • If you must use a fuel-dispenser nozzle, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

    • For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).

    • Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same. Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for use. Never use gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine damage which may not be covered under warranty

    • Do not use gasoline containing methanol.

    • Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used.

    • Do not add oil to gasoline.

    Filling the Fuel Tank

    Breaking in a New Sprayer

    To provide proper performance and long sprayer life, follow these guidelines for the first 100 operating hours:

    • Check the fluid and engine-oil levels regularly and be alert for indications of overheating in any component of the machine.

    • After filling the tank, check the tank straps for any play. Tighten as necessary.

    • After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about 15 seconds before accelerating.

    • Avoid hard braking situations for the first several hours of new sprayer break-in operation. New brake linings may not be at optimum performance until several hours of use has caused the brakes to become burnished (broken-in).

    • Avoid racing the engine.

    • Refer to for any special low-hour checks.

    Operating the Sprayer

    To operate the Multi Pro® Sprayer, first fill the spray tank, apply the solution to the work area, and finally clean the tank and spray system. It is important that you complete all 3 of these steps in succession to avoid damaging the sprayer. For example, do not mix and add chemicals in the spray tank at night and then spray in the morning. This would lead to separation of the chemicals and possible damage to the sprayer components.

    Caution

    Chemicals are hazardous and can cause personal injury.

    • Read the directions on the chemical labels before handling the chemicals and follow all manufacturer recommendations and precautions.

    • Keep chemicals away from your skin. Should contact occur, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and clean water.

    • Wear goggles and any other protective equipment recommended by the chemical manufacturer.

    The Multi Pro® Sprayer has been specifically designed to have high durability in order to give it the long sprayer life you need. Different materials have been chosen for specific reasons at different locations on your sprayer to meet this goal. Unfortunately, there is no single material that is perfect for all foreseeable applications.

    Some chemicals are more aggressive than others and each chemical interacts differently with various materials. Some consistencies (e.g., wettable powders, charcoal) are more abrasive and lead to higher wear rates. If a chemical is available in a formulation that would provide increased life to the sprayer, use this alternative formulation.

    Always clean your machine and spray system thoroughly after all applications. This will ensure that your sprayer has a long and trouble-free life.

    Note: If you have questions or need additional information regarding the spray control system, refer to the Operator’s Manual supplied with the system.

    Filling the Fresh-Water Tank

    Always fill the fresh-water tank with clean water before handling or mixing any chemicals.

    The fresh-water tank is located on the ROPS, behind the passenger seat (Figure 19). It supplies a source of fresh water for you to wash chemicals off your skin, eyes, or other surfaces in the case of accidental exposure.

    To fill the tank, unscrew the cap on the top of the tank, fill the tank with fresh water, and replace the cap.

    To open the fresh-water tank spigot, turn the lever on the spigot.

    g032530

    Filling the Sprayer Tank

    Important: Ensure that the chemicals you will be using are compatible for use with Viton (see the manufacturer's label; it should indicate if it is not compatible). Using a chemical that is not compatible with Viton will degrade the O-rings in the sprayer, causing leaks.

    Important: The tank-volume markings are for reference only and cannot be considered accurate for calibration.

    Important: After filling the tank for the first time, check the tank straps for any play. Tighten as necessary.

    1. Stop the machine on a level surface, shut off the engine, and set the parking brake.

    2. Determine the amount of water needed to mix the amount of chemical you need as prescribed by the chemical manufacturer.

    3. Open the tank cover on the sprayer tank.

      The tank cover is located in the center of the top of the tank. To open it, turn the front half of the cover counterclockwise and swing it open. You can remove the strainer inside for cleaning. To seal the tank, close the cover and rotate the front half clockwise.

    4. Add 3/4 of the required water to the spray tank using the anti-siphon fill receptacle.

      Important: Always use fresh, clean water in the spray tank. Do not pour concentrate into an empty tank.

    5. Start the engine, set the parking brake, set the pump switch to the ON position, and move the throttle lever to a higher idle.

    6. Set the agitation switch to the ON position.

      Important: Prior to introducing wettable powders into any Toro Spray System, mix the powders in a suitable container with sufficient fresh water to create a free flowing slurry. Failure to do so may result in chemical deposits on the bottom of the tank, degraded agitation, clogging of filters, and improper agitation rates.Toro recommends using the approved Eductor Kit for this machine. Contact your Authorized Toro Dealer for more information.

    7. Add the proper amount of chemical concentrate to the tank, as directed by the chemical manufacturer.

    8. Add the remaining water to the tank.

    Operating the Booms

    The boom-lift switches on the sprayer-control panel allows you to move the booms between the TRANSPORT position and SPRAY position without leaving the operator's seat. It is recommended to change boom positions while the machine is not moving.

    1. Stop the machine on level ground.

    2. Use the boom-lift switches to lower the booms.

      Note: Wait until the booms reach the full, extended spray position.

    3. When you need to retract the booms, stop the machine on level ground.

    4. Use the boom-lift switches to raise the booms. Raise the booms until they have moved completely into boom transport cradle forming the ‘X’ transport position and the boom cylinders are fully retracted.

    Important: To prevent damage to the boom-actuator cylinder, make sure that the actuators are fully retracted before transport.

    Important: Release the actuator switch once the booms have reached the desired position. Running the actuators against the stops may cause damage to the cylinders and or other hydraulic components.

    Operating the Boom Transport Cradle

    The machine is equipped with a boom transport cradle that has a unique safety feature. In the event of accidental boom contact with a low overhead object while in the TRANSPORT position, the boom(s) can be pushed out of the transport cradles. If this occurs, the booms will come to rest in a near horizontal position to the rear of the vehicle. While the booms will not be damaged due to this movement, they should be immediately put back into the transport cradle.

    Important: The booms can be damaged by transporting them in any position other than the ‘X’ transport position using the boom transport cradle.

    To put the booms back into the transport cradle, lower the boom(s) to the SPRAY position, and then raise the boom(s) back into the TRANSPORT position. Make sure that the boom cylinders are fully retracted to prevent actuator rod damage during storage.

    Applying Spray

    Manual-Spray Operation

    Important: In order to ensure that your solution remains well mixed, use the agitation feature whenever you have solution in the tank. For agitation to work, the pump must be on and the engine must be running above an idle.

    Note: This procedure assumes that the pump for the sprayer is on; refer to Pump Switch.

    1. Set the master-boom switch to the OFF position.

    2. Adjust the throttle to the desired position to spray.

    3. Drive to the spraying location.

    4. Lower the booms into position.

    5. Set the individual section switches, as needed, to the ON positions.

    6. Use the application-rate switch to achieve the desired spray pressure as indicated in the nozzle-selection guide provided with the sprayer.

    7. Drive at the desired speed and then set the master-boom switch to the ON position to begin spraying.

      Note: When the tank is nearly empty, the agitation may cause foaming in the tank. In this case, turn the agitation switch to the OFF position. Alternatively, you can use an anti-foaming agent in the tank.

    8. When finished spraying, set the master-boom switch to the OFF position to turn off all booms, then set the pump switch to the OFF position.

      Note: Return the booms to the TRANSPORT position and drive the machine to the cleaning area.

      Important: Always raise the booms until they have moved completely into boom transport cradle forming the ‘X’ transport position and the boom cylinders are fully retracted whenever you move the machine from one spraying area to another or move to a storage or cleaning area.

    Taking Proper Turf Care Precautions while Operating in Stationary Modes

    Important: Under some conditions, heat from the engine, radiator, and muffler can potentially damage grass when operating the sprayer in a stationary mode. Stationary modes include tank agitation, hand spraying with a spray gun, or using a walking boom.

    Use the following precautions:

    • Avoid stationary spraying when conditions are very hot and/or dry, as turf can be more stressed during these periods.

    • Avoid parking on the turf while stationary spraying. Park on a cart path whenever possible.

    • Minimize the amount of time the machine is left running over any particular area of turf. Both time and temperature affect how much the grass may be damaged.

    • Set the engine speed as low as possible to achieve the desired pressure and flow. This will minimize the heat generated and the air velocity from the cooling fan.

    • Allow heat to escape upward from the engine compartment by raising the seat assemblies during stationary operation rather than being forced out under the vehicle.

    Spraying Tips

    • Do not overlap areas that you have previously sprayed.

    • Watch for plugged nozzles. Replace all worn or damaged nozzles.

    • Use the master-boom switch to stop the spray flow before stopping the machine. Once stopped, use the engine-throttle control to hold the engine speed up to keep the agitation running.

    • You will obtain best results if the machine is moving when you turn the booms on.

    Unclogging a Nozzle

    If a nozzle becomes clogged while you are spraying, you can clean it using a hand-spray bottle of water or a toothbrush.

    1. Stop the machine on a level surface, shut off the engine, and set the parking brake.

    2. Set the master-boom switch to the OFF position and then set the pump switch to the OFF position.

    3. Remove the clogged nozzle and clean it using a spray bottle of water or a toothbrush.

    Selecting a Nozzle

    Note: Refer to the nozzle-selection guide that is available through your Authorized Toro Dealer.

    The turret bodies can accept up to 3 different nozzles. To select the desired nozzle perform the following:

    1. Stop the machine on a level surface, shut off the engine, and set the parking brake.

    2. Set the master-boom switch to the OFF position and set the pump switch to the OFF position.

    3. Rotate the turret of the nozzles in either direction to the correct nozzle.

    Maintenance Service IntervalMaintenance Procedure
    Yearly
  • Flush the sprayer with clean water. During the rinse procedure, increase pump speed to open relief valve; purging valves and hoses of residual fluids.
  • Important: You must always empty and clean the sprayer immediately after each use. Failure to do so may cause the chemicals to dry or thicken in the lines, clogging the pump and other components.

    Toro recommends using the approved Clean Rinse kit for this machine. Contact your Authorized Toro Dealer for more information.

    Clean the spray system after each spraying session. To properly clean the spray system:

    • Use 3 separate rinses.

    • Use the cleaners and neutralizers as recommended by the chemical manufacturers.

    • Use pure, clean water (no cleaners or neutralizers) for the last rinse.

    1. Stop the machine, set the parking brake, and shut off the engine.

    2. Locate the tank-drain valve on the rear of the machine (Figure 44).
