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.

  • Remain seated whenever the sprayer is in motion. Keep both hands on the steering wheel whenever possible. Keep your arms and legs within the operator’s compartment at all times.

  • Failure to operate the machine 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 machine on wet surfaces, in adverse weather conditions, at higher speeds, or with a full load. Stopping time and distance increases 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 shut off. 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 the seat:

    1. Stop the machine.

    2. Place the range selector in the NEUTRAL position and set the parking brake.

    3. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.

    4. Remove the ignition key.

      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 machine 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 sprayer 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.

  • Use the seat belt when operating the machine and be certain that it can be released quickly in the event of an emergency.

  • Do not remove or alter the rollover protection system (ROPS).

  • Always keep the transmission in gear when you drive the machine down a slope.

  • 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.

    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 center of gravity of the machine and the handling of it. 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 servicing or making adjustments to the machine, park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, 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 you must run the engine 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 pinhole 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; otherwise, 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 machine 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.

Checking the Section-Hinge Springs

Important: Operating the spray system with the section-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 section extensions swung forward to facilitate shipping the machine. The springs are not fully tightened at the time of manufacture to allow the sections to be in this position for transit. Before operating the machine, the springs must be adjusted to the correct compression.

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

  2. Support the sections while they are extended to the spray position.

  3. At the section hinge, measure the compression of the upper and lower springs while the sections are in their extended position (Figure 4).

    1. All springs must be compressed 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).

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.

Preparing to Drive the Machine

Checking the Engine Oil

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 and wipe it with a clean rag (Figure 11).

  3. Insert the dipstick into the tube and make sure that it is seated fully. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.

    g023037
  4. If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap from the valve cover (Figure 11) and pour oil into the opening until the oil level is up to the FULL mark on the dipstick; refer toServicing the Engine Oil for the proper oil type and viscosity.

    Note: Add the oil slowly and check the level often during this process. Do not overfill.

  5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.

Checking the Tire Pressure

Check the tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to ensure proper levels. Fill the tires to 138 kPa (20 psi). Also, check the tires for wear or damage.

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.

  • Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.

  • Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel 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 fuel to expand.

  • Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away from an open flame or where sparks may ignite fuel fumes.

  • 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.

  • Do not operate the machine without the 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 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 fuel-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 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 you use a fuel stabilizer.

  • Do not add oil to gasoline.

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

  5. Install the fuel-tank cap to the tank securely.

  6. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.

Performing the 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.

  • Turn the steering wheel to the left and right to check steering response.

  • Check for oil leaks, loose parts, and any other noticeable malfunctions. Make sure that the engine is off and all moving parts have stopped before checking for oil leaks, loose parts, and other 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.

    2. Check to see if there is any movement between the tank straps and the tank (Figure 17).

      g028263
    3. If the tank straps fit loose to the tank, tighten the flanged locknuts and bolts at the top of straps until the straps are flush with the surface of the tank (Figure 17).

      Note: Do not overtighten the tank strap hardware.

    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. Complete all 3 of these steps in sequence 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 to 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-than-normal 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 that your sprayer has a long and trouble-free life.

    Using the Differential Lock

    The differential lock increases the sprayer’s traction by locking the rear wheels so that 1 wheel will not spin out. This can help when you have heavy loads to haul on wet turf or slippery areas, going up hills, and on sandy surfaces. It is important to remember, however, that this extra traction is intended for temporary or limited use. Its use does not replace the safe operation, already discussed concerning steep hills and heavy loads.

    The differential lock causes the rear wheels to turn at the same speed. When using differential lock your ability to make sharp turns is somewhat restricted and the tires may scuff the turf. Use the differential lock only when needed, at slower speeds and only in first or second gear.

    Warning

    Tipping or rolling the sprayer on a hill will cause serious injury.

    • The extra traction available with the differential lock can be enough to get you into dangerous situations such as climbing slopes that are too steep to turn around. Be extra careful when operating with the differential lock on, especially on steeper slopes.

    • If the differential lock is on when making a sharp turn at a higher speed and the inside rear wheel lifts off the ground, there may be a loss of control which could cause the sprayer to skid. Use the differential lock only at slower speeds.

    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 left side of the ROPS bar. 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 open the fresh-water tank spigot, turn the lever on the spigot.

    Filling the Spray Tank

    Install the Chemical Pre-Mix Kit for optimal mixing and exterior tank cleanliness.

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

    Important: Verify that the proper application rate has been set prior to filling the tank with chemicals.

    1. Stop the sprayer on a level surface, move the range selector to the NEUTRAL position, shut off the engine, and set the parking brake.

    2. Ensure that the tank drain valve is closed.

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

    4. Open the tank cover on the spray tank.

      Note: 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.

    5. 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.

    6. Start the engine and set the pump switch to the ON position.

    7. Press the accelerator pedal to the floor and set the throttle lock to the ON position.

    8. Set the master section switch to the OFF position.

    9. Turn the agitation valve to the ON position.

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

      Important: If you are using a wettable powder without full agitation, mix the powder with a small amount of water to form a slurry before adding it to the tank.

    11. Add the remaining water to the tank.

    Operating the Sections

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

    Changing the Section Position

    1. Stop the sprayer on level ground.

    2. Use the boom-section lift switches to lower the sections.

      Note: Wait until the sections reach the full, extended SPRAY position.

    3. When the sections need to be retracted, stop the sprayer on level ground.

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

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

    Using the Boom-Transport Cradle

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

    Important: You can damage the sections if you transport them in any position other than the ‘X’ transport position using the boom-transport cradle.

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

    Spraying

    Important: To ensure that your solution remains well mixed, use the agitation feature whenever you have a solution in the tank. For agitation to work, you must have the pump on and the engine running above an idle. If you stop the vehicle and need agitation, set the parking brake, turn the pump on, press the accelerator pedal to floor, and switch the throttle lock to the ON position.

    Note: This procedure assumes that the pump is on from the Operating the Sprayer procedure.

    1. Lower the sections into position.

    2. With the master-section switch in the OFF position, set the 3 section switches to the ON position.

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

    4. Set the master-section switch to the ON position to begin spraying.

      Note: The InfoCenter shows the sections with the spray on.

      Note: When the tank is nearly empty, the agitation may cause foaming in the tank. To prevent this, turn the agitation valve off. Alternatively, you can use an anti-foaming agent in the tank.

    5. Use the rate switch to adjust and set a target.

    6. When finished spraying, set the master-section switch to the OFF position to turn off all sections, then set the pump switch to the OFF position.

    Spraying Tips

    • Do not overlap areas that you have previously sprayed.

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

    • Use the master-section switch to stop the spray flow before stopping the sprayer. Once stopped, place the range selector in the NEUTRAL position and use the neutral engine speed lock 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 sections on.

    • Watch for changes in the application rate that may indicate that your speed has changed beyond the range of the nozzles or there is a problem with the spray system.
