While Operating

Warning

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison that can be fatal.

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 steering wheel whenever possible and the passenger should use the provided hand holds. Keep arms and legs within the vehicle body at all times. Never carry passengers in the box or on attachments. Remember that your passenger may not be expecting you to brake or turn.

  • Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs such as tree limbs, door jambs, and overhead walkways. Make sure that there is enough room overhead to easily clear the machine, sprayer boom sections and your head.

  • When starting the engine:

    • Sit on the operator’s seat and ensure that the parking brake is engaged.

    • If your machine is equipped with a PTO or hand throttle lever, disengage the PTO and return hand throttle lever to the OFF position.

    • Move the shift lever to neutral and depress clutch pedal.

    • Keep your foot off accelerator pedal.

    • Turn the key for the starter switch to START position.

  • Using the machine demands attention. 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, and any unfamiliar areas or other hazards.

    • Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.

    • Use caution when operating the machine on a steep slope. Normally travel straight up and down slopes. Reduce speed when making sharp turns or when turning on hillsides. Avoid turning on hillsides whenever possible.

    • Use extra caution when operating the machine on wet surfaces, at higher speeds, or with a full load. Stopping time and distance increases with a full load. Shift into a lower gear before starting up or down a hill.

    • 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, abrupt maneuvers, or other unsafe driving actions that may cause a loss of vehicle 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 machine 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 that are explosive.

    • When draining the tank, do not let anyone stand behind the machine and do not drain liquid on anyone’s feet.

    • 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 machine for damage. Repair all damage before resuming operation.

  • Before getting off the seat:

    1. Stop the machine.

    2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and engage 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 machine and its contents. More important, it can injure you and your passenger.

  • 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 slick 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 dries the brakes out.

Operating on Hills and Rough Terrain

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.

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 takes longer than stopping on level ground. If the machine must be stopped, 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.

  • Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e., branches, doorways, electrical wires) before driving under any objects and do not contact them.

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

  • 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.

Loading

The weight of the cargo can change the Workman center of gravity and 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 vehicle.

  • 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 vehicle 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.

  • Empty the tank before tilting or removing the sprayer from machine and before storage.

  • Never work under the machine without using the tank support prop rod.

  • Ensure that all hydraulic line connectors are tight, and that all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.

  • Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks that can eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search for leaks.

    Danger

    Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and do serious damage.

    If fluid is injected into the skin it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may result.

  • Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hydraulic system, relieve all pressure in system by stopping the engine, cycling the dump valve from raise to lower, and/or lowering the tank and attachments. If the tank must be in the raised position, secure it with the safety support.

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

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

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

  • Do not overspeed the engine by changing the governor settings. The maximum engine speed is 3,650 rpm. To assure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro Distributor check the maximum engine speed with a tachometer.

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

  • To ensure optimum performance and continued safety certification of the machine, use only genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories made by other manufacturers could be dangerous, and such use could void the product warranty.

  • Refer to your Workman machine Operator’s Manual for additional maintenance information.

      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 81).

      Note: Do not overtighten the tank strap hardware.

    Operating the Sprayer

    To operate the Multi Pro WM, 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 cause the chemicals to separate and possibly damage the sprayer components.

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

    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 WM 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 machine and spray system thoroughly after all applications. This ensures that your sprayer has a long and trouble-free life.

    Filling the Freshwater Tank

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

    The freshwater tank is located on the ROPS, behind the passenger seat (Figure 82). It supplies a source of fresh water for you to wash chemicals off of your skin, eyes, or other surfaces in 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 freshwater tank spigot, turn the lever on the spigot.

    g210327

    Filling the Spray Tank

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

    Important: Ensure that the chemicals you use 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 degrades the O-rings in the sprayer, causing leaks.

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

    1. Park the machine on a level surface, move the range selector to the neutral position, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key.

    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.

      Note: The tank lid 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, engage the PTO, and set the hand throttle if equipped.

    6. Turn the agitation switch ON position.

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

      Important: If you are using a wettable powder, mix the powder with a small amount of water to form a slurry before adding it to the tank

    8. Add the remaining water to the tank.

      Note: For better agitation, decrease the application rate setting.

    Operating the Booms

    The boom-lift switches on the sprayer control panel allow you to move the booms between the transport position and the spray position without leaving the operator's seat. Change boom positions while the machine is stationary.

    Setting the Hydraulic Lift Lock

    Engage the hydraulic lift lever and lock it to provide hydraulic power for control of the boom lift.

    1. Push forward the hydraulic-lift lever (Figure 83 or Figure 84).

      g255717
      g255830
    2. Move the hydraulic-lift lock left to engage the lock (Figure 83 or Figure 84).

    Changing the Boom Position

    Perform the following steps to move the booms to the spray position:

    1. Park the machine on a level surface.

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

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

    Complete the sprayer job, then perform the following steps to retract the booms into the transport position:

    1. Park the machine on a level surface.

    2. Use the boom-lift switches to 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 transporting the machine.

    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 boom contact with a low overhead object while in the transport position, you can push the boom(s) out of the transport cradles. If this occurs, the booms come to rest in a near horizontal position to the rear of the vehicle. While this movement will not damage the booms, 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 damaging the actuator rod.

    Spraying

    Using the Sprayer

    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, you must engage the PTO and the engine must be running above an idle. If you stop the vehicle and need the agitation on, place the shift lever in the NEUTRAL position, engage the parking brake, engage the PTO, engage the clutch, and set the hand throttle, if equipped.

    Note: This procedure assumes that the PTO is engaged (HD-series models with a manual transmission) and the boom section valve calibration has been completed.

    1. Lower the booms into position.

    2. For the HDX-Auto model, set the sprayer-mode switch as following:

      • When using the sprayer in the MANUAL MODE press the switch to the right; refer to Sprayer-Mode Switch (HDX-Auto Model).

      • When using the sprayer in the AUTOMATIC MODE press the switch to the left.

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

    4. Set the individual boom switches, as needed, to the ON positions.

    5. Drive to the location where you plan to spray.

    6. Navigate to the Application Rate screen on the InfoCenter and set the desired rate by performing the following steps:

      1. Ensure that the switch for the pump is in the ON position.

      2. For HD-series models with a manual transmission, select the desired gear range.

      3. Begin driving at your target ground speed.

      4. For HD-series models with a manual transmission or with a automatic transmission used in the manual mode, verify that the monitor displays the correct application rate. If needed, adjust the application-rate switch until the monitor displays the desired application rate.

        Note: For HD-series models with a automatic transmission that are operated in the automatic mode, the computer automatically adjusts the sprayer pressure to maintain the application rate.

      5. Return to the location where you are spraying.

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

      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.

    8. When finished spraying, set the master-boom switch to the OFF position to turn off all boom-segment switches, and disengage the PTO lever (HD-series models with a manual transmission).

    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 that you leave the machine running over any particular area of turf. The extent of damage to the grass depends on both time and temperature.

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

    • Allow the 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 where 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 lock to hold the engine speed up to keep the agitation running.

    • You 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.

    HD-Series Models with a Automatic Transmission Operated in the Automatic Mode

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

    • If you are operating the sprayer at a slow ground speed that causes the computer to maintain too low of a sprayer system pressure for the application rating of the selected nozzles, the chemical solution discharges from the nozzle incorrectly (running or dribbling). Select a sprayer nozzle with a lower application rate range.

    • If you are operating the sprayer at a high ground speed that causes the computer to use full sprayer system pressure and the sprayer pressure is inadequate to achieve the desired application rate. To correct you application rate, slow your ground speed to achieve your application rate or select a sprayer nozzle with a higher application rate range.

    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. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key.

    2. Set the master boom-switch to the OFF position and then run the sprayer pump; refer to Sprayer Pump.

    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. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key.

    2. Set the master-boom switch to the OFF position and run the sprayer pump; refer to Sprayer Pump.

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