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 sprayer is in motion. The operator should keep both hands on the steering wheel whenever possible. Keep your arms and legs within the sprayer body at all times.

  • Failure to operate the sprayer safely may result in an accident, tip over of the sprayer, 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 sprayer 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 sprayer can produce sparks capable of igniting explosive materials. Never operate the sprayer 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 sprayer for damage. Repair all damage before resuming operation.

  • Before getting off of the seat:

    1. Stop the movement of the machine.

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

    3. Turn the key for the starter switch to the Off position.

    4. Remove the key from the starter 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 sprayer 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 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 sprayer on a hill may cause tipping or rolling of the sprayer, or the engine may stall and you could lose headway on the hill. This could result in personal injury.

  • Do not accelerate quickly or slam on 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 the sprayer must be stopped, avoid sudden speed changes, which may initiate tipping or rolling of the sprayer. Do not slam on the brakes when rolling backward, as this may cause the sprayer 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 sprayer to become unstable.

    Warning

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

  • Reduce your speed when operating on rough terrain and near curbs.

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

Loading

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

  • Reduce the weight of the load when operating on hills and rough terrain to avoid tipping or overturning of the sprayer.

  • 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 sprayer 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 sprayer.

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

  • Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the engine, set the parking brake, and remove the key from the starter switch 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 an Authorized 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 an Authorized 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.

Setup

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. Either a Manual Spray Operation Kit or ProControl™ XPKit is necessary for the proper function of the machine.To use the sprayer, you must obtain and install nozzles. Contact your Authorized 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 Pro Control™XP Spray System), adjust the boom bypass valves so that the pressure and application rate remains the same for all booms when you turn one 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 is shipped 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 transit. 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 spring that measure greater than 3.96 cm (1.56 inches).

    g002332
  4. Repeat the procedure for each spring on both boom hinges.

  5. Move the booms into the transport “X” position; refer to Operating the Booms.

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 sprayer 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 sprayer 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 Tire Air Pressure

Maintenance Service IntervalMaintenance Procedure
Before each use or daily
  • Check the tire air pressure.
  • 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 Engine Oil

    Maintenance Service IntervalMaintenance Procedure
    Before each use or daily
  • Check the engine oil.Check the engine oil level before you start the engine for the first time.
  • Engine oil specification:

    • Oil type—API service CH-4, CI-4 or higher.

    • Preferred oil viscosity—SAE 15W40 (above 0 degrees F)

    • Alternate oil viscosity—SAE 10W30 or 5W30 (all temperatures)

    Toro Premium Engine Oil is available from your distributor in either 15W40 or 10W30 viscosity. Refer to the Parts Catalog for part numbers.

    Note: The best time to check the engine oil is when the engine is cool, before it has been started for the day. If it has already been run, allow the oil to drain back down to the sump for at least 10 minutes before checking.

    The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however, the level of oil must be checked before you first start the engine and after you have run it.

    1. Position the machine on a level surface.

    2. Remove the dipstick, located under the passenger seat, and wipe it with a clean rag (Figure 18).

  • Check the brakes.
  • Before starting the sprayer, 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 sprayer with poorly adjusted or worn brakes, you could lose control of the sprayer, resulting in serious injury or death to you or bystanders.

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

    Adding Fuel

    Danger

    In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel 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 fuel that spills.

    • Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 25 mm (1 inch) below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows fuel to expand.

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

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

    Danger

    In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark which can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from fuel 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 fuel 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 gas-powered 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 a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

    Important: Your engine runs on No. 2-D or 1-D automotive-type diesel fuel with a minimum cetane rating of 40.

    Note: Your engine may require a higher cetane-rated fuel if you operate the machine at high altitudes or in low atmospheric temperatures.

    Using Biodiesel Fuel

    This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). The petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra low sulfur. Observe the following precautions:

    • The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.

    • The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM D975 or EN590.

    • Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.

    • Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold weather.

    • Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as they may be degraded over time.

    • Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time after converting to biodiesel blends.

    • Contact your distributor if you wish for more information on biodiesel.

    Filling the Fuel Tank

    Fuel tank capacity: approximately 45 L (12 US gallons).

    Note: The fuel tank features a fuel gauge which shows the level of fuel in the tank—check the fuel gauge frequently.

    1. Position the sprayer on a level surface.

    2. Set the parking brake, stop the pump, stop the engine, remove the key, and allow the engine to cool.

    3. Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap (Figure 23).

      g028156
    4. Remove the fuel-tank cap.

    5. Fill the tank to about 2.5 cm (1 inch) below the top of the tank, (bottom of the filler neck).

      Note: This space in the tank allows fuel to expand. Do not overfill.

    6. Install the fuel tank cap securely.

    7. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.

    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 sprayer.

    • 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 the Maintenance section for any special low hour checks.

    Operating the Sprayer

    To operate the Multi-Pro Sprayer first fill the spray tank, then apply the solution to the work area, and finally clean the tank. It is important that you complete all three 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 which 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.

    As always, remember to clean your sprayer thoroughly after all applications. This will do the most to ensure 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 Operators 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 27). It supplies a source of fresh water for you to wash chemicals off of 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 and fill the tank with fresh water. Replace the cap.

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

    g028163

    Filling the Spray 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 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 sprayer on a level surface, stop 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 spray 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 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 transport position and spray position without leaving the Operator's seat. It is recommended to change boom positions while the machine is stationary.

    To change the boom position:

    1. Stop the sprayer on level ground.

    2. Use the boom lift switches to lower booms. Wait until the booms reach the full, extended spray position.

    3. When the booms need to be retracted, stop the sprayer 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 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 sprayer 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 the boom cylinders are fully retracted to prevent actuator rod damage during storage.

    Spraying

    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 is on; refer to Filling the Spray Tank.

    1. Set the master boom switch to the Off position.

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

    3. Drive to the location where you will be spraying.

    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 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 off. 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 sprayer 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 sprayer from one spraying area to another or move to a storage or cleaning area.

    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 sprayer. Once stopped, use the neutral engine speed control to hold the engine speed up to keep the agitation running.

    • You will obtain better results if the sprayer 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 sprayer on a level surface, stop 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:

    1. Stop the sprayer on a level surface, stop 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.

    Cleaning the Sprayer

    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 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 three separate rinses.

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

    11. Check the nozzles to ensure that they are all spraying correctly.

    12. Set the master boom switch to the Off position, set the pump switch to the Off position, and stop the engine.

    13. Repeat steps 4 through 12 at least 2 more times to ensure that the spray system is fully cleaned.

      Important: You must always complete this procedure at least 3 times to ensure that the spray system is fully clean, preventing damage to the system.

    14. Clean the strainer; refer to Cleaning the Suction Strainer.

      Important: If you used wettable powder chemicals, clean the strainer after each tank.

    15. Using a garden hose, rinse off the outside of the sprayer with clean water.

    16. Remove the nozzles and clean them by hand. Replace damaged or worn nozzles.

    Calibrating the Section Valves

    Important: If you have the Pro Control™ Spray System installed, the boom bypass valves must be closed. Use the following adjustment only when you are not using the Pro Control Spray System.

    Before using the sprayer for the first time or if the nozzles are changed, adjust the section valves so that the pressure and application rate remains the same for all boom sections when you turn one or more sections off.

    Note: The section valves must be calibrated each time the nozzles are changed.

    Important: If machine is equipped with a Pro Control™ Spray System, disregard the following steps below this important note for calibrating the section valves and read this notice: When using a Pro Control™ system, the section valves are not used; close the section valves by rotating the red bypass knobs clockwise. The valve is closed once you feel a slight resistance while rotating the knob. Applying excessive torque to the bypass knob could damage the valve. The bypass knob may require 3 to 4 full rotations (360° = 1 rotation) to completely close the valve. The numbers printed on the valve are for reference only; setting the knob to “0” does not guarantee the valve is closed. If you are using the Pro Control™ system, you do not need to adjust the section valves once they are closed. If you use the machine to spray manually (without the Pro Control™ system), refer to the steps for calibrating the boom bypass valves prior to using the machine.

    1. Select an open flat area to perform this procedure.

    2. Fill the spray tank with clean water.

    3. Lower the left and right boom sections.

    4. Set the parking brake and start the engine.

    5. Set all three section switches and the master boom switch to the On position.

    6. Use the application rate switch to adjust the pressure, as read on the pressure gauge, until it is in the correct range for the nozzles that you installed on the boom sections (typically 276 kPa or 40 psi); refer to the nozzle selection guide that is available through your Authorized Toro Dealer.

    7. Record the reading on the pressure gauge.

    8. Turn off 1 of the boom section using the appropriate section switch.

    9. Adjust the section bypass valve (Figure 30) at the top of the section control valve for the boom section you turned off until the pressure reading on the gauge is the same as the pressure reading that you recorded in step 7.

      g028162
    10. Turn the boom on and off to verify the pressure does not change.

    11. Repeat steps 9 through 10 for the other boom sections.

    12. Drive the sprayer at the desired speed while spraying and turn each boom section off individually.

      Note: The pressure on the gauge should not change.

    Hydraulic Fluid Specification

    The machines reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately 56 L (15 US gallons) of high quality hydraulic fluid. Check the level of the hydraulic fluid before the engine is first started and daily thereafter. The recommended replacement fluid is as follows:

     Toro Premium All Season Hydraulic Fluid (Available in 5-gallon pails or 55-gallon drums. See parts catalog or Toro distributor for part numbers.)

    Alternate fluids: If the Toro fluid is not available, other fluids may be used provided they meet all the following material properties and industry specifications. We do not recommend the use of synthetic fluid. Consult with your lubricant distributor to identify a satisfactory product Note: Toro will not assume responsibility for damage caused by improper substitutions, so use only products from reputable manufacturers who will stand behind their recommendation.

    High Viscosity Index/Low Pour Point Anti-wear Hydraulic Fluid, ISO VG 46
     Material Properties:
      Viscosity, ASTM D445cSt @ 40°C 44 to 48cSt @ 100°C 7.9 to 8.5
      Viscosity Index ASTM D2270140 to 160
      Pour Point, ASTM D97-34°F to -49°F
     Industry Specifications:
      Vickers I-286-S (Quality Level), Vickers M-2950-S (Quality Level), Denison HF-0

    Important: The ISO VG 46 Multigrade fluid has been found to offer optimal performance in a wide range of temperature conditions. For operation in consistently high ambient temperatures, 18° C (65° F) to 49° C (120° F), ISO VG 68 hydraulic fluid may offer improved performance.

    Premium Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid-Mobil EAL EnviroSyn 46H

    Important: Mobil EAL EnviroSyn 46H is the only synthetic biodegradable fluid approved by Toro. This fluid is compatible with the elastomers used in Toro hydraulic systems and is suitable for a wide-range of temperature conditions. This fluid is compatible with conventional mineral oils, but for maximum biodegradability and performance the hydraulic system should be thoroughly flushed of conventional fluid. The oil is available in 5-gallon (19 L) containers or 55-gallon drums from your Mobil Distributor.

    Important: Many hydraulic fluids are almost colorless, making it difficult to spot leaks. A red dye additive for the hydraulic system oil is available in 20 ml (2/3 oz) bottles. One bottle is sufficient for 15 to 22 L (4 to 6 US gallons) of hydraulic oil. Order part no. 44-2500 from your authorized Toro distributor. This red dye is not recommended for use with biodegradable fluids; use food coloring.
