   Note: Install the fitting with the open end pointing toward the large opening in the bracket and toward the tank opening so that the water arcs into the tank when you fill it.

3. Install the hose adapter into the quick coupler (Figure 3).

4. Lock the adapter into place by swinging the levers toward the adapter and then secure them with the hairpin cotters (Figure 3).

5. Install the anti-siphon hose through the large opening on the bracket and onto the barbed end of the 90° elbow fitting (Figure 3).

   Important: Do not lengthen the hose to allow contact with the tank fluids.

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 4 cm (1-1/2 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, the springs must be adjusted 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 4).

   1. All springs must be compressed until they measure 4 cm (1-1/2 inches).

   2. Use the jam nut to compress any spring that measure greater than 4 cm (1-1/2 inches).

Hill assist prevents the sprayer from rolling or jerking by temporarily holding the sprayer on hilly terrain when the operator moves his/her foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. To engage hill assist, engage the clutch and push down on the brake pedal vigorously. When hill assist is engaged, the hill assist icon is displayed on the InfoCenter; refer to InfoCenter Icon Descriptions. Hill assist holds the machine for 2 seconds after releasing the brake pedal.

Note: As hill assist only temporarily holds the sprayer, it cannot be used in place of the parking brake.

The differential lock allows rear axle to be locked for increased traction. The differential lock (Figure 7) may be engaged when the sprayer is in motion. Move the lever forward and to the right to engage the lock.

Note: Forward motion plus a slight turn may be required to engage or disengage the differential lock.

The choke control is a small knob behind the range selector (Figure 7). To start a cold engine, pull the choke control up. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the engine running smoothly. As soon as possible, push the control down to the OFF position. A warm engine requires little or no choking.

The range selector (Figure 7) has 5 positions: 3 forward speeds, NEUTRAL, and REVERSE. The engine starts only when the range selector is in the NEUTRAL position.

The ignition switch (Figure 7), has 3 positions: STOP, RUN, and START. Rotate the key clockwise to the START position to start the engine and release it to the RUN position when started. Rotate the key to the STOP position to shut off the engine.

Toggle the switch to operate the headlights (Figure 7). Push it forward to turn the lights on and rearward to turn them off.

When the range selector is in the NEUTRAL position, you can use the accelerator pedal to speed up the engine, then push the switch below the InfoCenter forward to set the engine at that speed. This is necessary to run the chemical agitation while stationary or operating attachments such as the hand sprayer (Figure 7).

Important: The range selector must be in the NEUTRAL position and the parking brake must be set for the switch to work.

The fuel gauge is located on top of the fuel tank, on the left side of the machine, and shows the amount of fuel in the tank.

The master-boom switch (Figure 7) is located on the side of the console and to the right of the operator. It allows you to start or stop the spray operation. Press the switch to enable or disable the spray system.

The boom switches are located on the control panel (Figure 7). Toggle each switch forward to turn the corresponding boom section on and rearward to turn them off. When the switch is turned on, a light on the switch illuminates. These switches affect the spray system only when the master-boom switch is on.

The pump switch is located on the control panel to the right of the seat (Figure 7). Toggle this switch forward to run the pump or rearward to stop the pump.

Important: The pump switch will only engage when the engine is at low idle to avoid damaging the pump drive.

The application-rate switch is located on the control panel to the right of the seat (Figure 7). Press and hold the switch forward to increase the spray system pressure, or press and hold it rearward to decrease the pressure.

The supervisor switch is located on the control panel to the right of the seat (Figure 7). Turn the key counterclockwise to the LOCK position to disable the application-rate switch, thereby keeping anyone from accidentally changing the application rate. Turn the key clockwise to the UNLOCKED position to enable the application-rate switch.

The boom lift switches are located on the control panel and are used to raise the left and right boom respectively.

The hour meter indicates the total number of hours the engine has run. This number is displayed on the first screen of the InfoCenter. The hour meter starts to function whenever the key is turned to the RUN position.

The Sonic-Boom switch is a rocker switch used to operate the Sonic Boom. Toggle the switch forward for automatic, rearward for manual and center for off.

If you install the Foam Marker kit, you will add switches to the control panel for controlling their operation. The sprayer comes with plastic plugs in these locations.

This valve, located behind the tank (Figure 10), controls the amount of fluid that is routed to the booms or the rate return to the tank.

2. Agitation valve
3. Master-boom valve
4. Flowmeter
5. Boom-section valves

The master-boom valve (Figure 10) is used to stop the flow to the flowmeter and boom valves.

The flowmeter measures the flow rate of the fluid for use by the InfoCenter system (Figure 10).

These valves turn the 3 boom sections on or off (Figure 10).

The boom bypass redirects the fluid flow for a boom section to the tank when you turn off the boom section. You can adjust the boom bypass to ensure that the boom pressure remains constant no matter how many booms sections are on. Refer to Adjusting the Master-Boom-Bypass Valve.

This valve is located on the rear of the tank (Figure 10). When agitation is on, the flow is directed through the agitation nozzles in the tank. When agitation is off, the flow is directed through the pump suction.

The pressure gauge is located on the control panel (Figure 7). This gauge shows the pressure of the fluid in the system in psi and kPa.

The InfoCenter LCD display shows information about your machine and battery pack, such as the current battery charge, the speed, diagnostics information, and more (Figure 7).

For more information, refer to Using the InfoCenter.

The agitation-throttle valve is used to reduce the flow available for the agitation circuit. It provides additional flow for the boom sections.

A selection of Toro approved attachments and accessories is available for use with the machine to enhance and expand its capabilities. Contact your Authorized Service Dealer or Distributor or go to www.Toro.com for a list of all approved attachments and accessories.

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

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.

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

• To optimize the brake system, burnish (break in) the brakes as follows:

  1. Load 454 L (120 US gallons) of water into the tank.

  2. Move the machine to and open-level area.

  3. Drive the machine at full speed.

  4. Apply the brakes rapidly.

     Note: Stop the machine in a straight line without locking up the tires.

  5. Wait 1 minute to allow the brakes to cool.

  6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 an 9 additional times.

• Avoid racing the engine.

• Vary the sprayer speed during operation. Avoid fast starts and quick stops.

• Refer to for any special, low-hour checks.

You can use the following procedure to adjust the actuators on the center boom to keep the left and right booms at level.

1. Extend the booms to the spray position.

2. Remove the cotter pin from the pivot pin (Figure 13).

6. Turn the eyelet rod in the actuator rod to shorten or lengthen the extended actuator to the desired position (Figure 14).

   Note: Turn the eyelet rod in half or complete revolutions to allow the reassembly of the rod to the boom.

7. With the eyelet rod in the desired position, tighten the jam nut to secure the actuator and eyelet rod.

8. Raise the boom to align the pivot with the actuator rod. While holding the boom, insert the pin through both boom pivot and actuator rod (Figure 13).

9. With the pin in place, release the boom and secure the pin with the cotter previously removed.

10. Repeat this procedure for each actuator rod bearing, if necessary.

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 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 to possible damage to the sprayer components.

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.

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.

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.

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 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: 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-boom 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.

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

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 on: 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 booms into position.

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

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

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

   Note: The InfoCenter will show the booms 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-boom switch to the OFF position to turn off all booms, then set the pump switch to the OFF position.

• 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, 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 booms 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.

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.

Note: Install the Tank Clean Rinse Kit for optimal tank cleaning.

1. Stop the sprayer, set the parking brake, place the range selector in the NEUTRAL position, and shut off the engine. The tank will drain to the left side of the machine.

2. Locate the tank drain valve on the left side of the machine (Figure 15).

   Note: The valve is behind the left fender bracket next to the fuel tank.

   

   Figure 15

   1. Tank drain

3. Remove the valve from the bracket, and let the valve rest on the ground.

4. Open the valve to drain any unused material from the tank and dispose of it according to local codes and the material manufacturer's instructions (Figure 15).

   Note: This allows any residual material in the line to drain.

5. When the tank has drained completely, close the drain valve and install the valve onto the bracket (Figure 15).

6. Rinse the inside of the tank with at least 22 L (6 US gallons) of clean fresh water and close the cover.

   Note: You can use a cleaning/neutralizing agent in the water as needed. On the final rinse, use only clean, clear water.

7. Start the engine.

8. Set the pump switch to the ON position and use the application-rate switch to increase the pressure to a high setting.

9. With the range selector in the NEUTRAL position, press the accelerator pedal to the floor and toggle the throttle lock switch to the ON position.

10. Ensure that the agitation valve is in the ON position.

11. Set the master-boom switch and boom-control switches to the ON position to begin spraying.

12. Allow all of the water in the tank to spray out though the nozzles.

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

14. Set the master-boom switch to the OFF position, set the pump switch to the OFF position, and shut off the engine.

15. Repeat steps 6 through 14 at least 2 more times to ensure that the spray system is fully cleaned.

16. On the last cycle, run the last few gallons of water through the drain valve to clear the drain tubing.

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

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

18. Using a garden hose, spray off the outside of the sprayer with clean water.

19. Remove the nozzles and clean them by hand.

    Note: Replace damaged or worn nozzles.

In case of an emergency, you can tow the sprayer for a short distance. However, we do not recommend this as a standard procedure.

Towing the sprayer is a 2–person job. If you must move the machine a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer; refer to Transporting the Sprayer.

1. Attach a tow line to the frame.

2. Put the range selector in the NEUTRAL position and release the parking brake.

3. Tow the sprayer at less than 8 km/h (5 mph).

For moving the sprayer long distances, use a trailer. Secure the sprayer to the trailer. Also, make sure that the booms are tied down and secure. There is 1 metal loop on the front of the frame and 2 loops on the rear of the frame (Figure 33).
