Wear appropriate clothing, including eye protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose jewelry.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as directed in Chemical Safety.
Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur.
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Do not carry more than 1 passenger on the machine; the passenger should sit in the designated seating position only.
Operate the machine only in good visibility. Avoid holes or hidden hazards.
Before you start the engine, ensure that you are in the operating position, the transmission is in the NEUTRAL position (manual) or the PARK position (automatic), and the parking brake is engaged.
Remain seated whenever the machine is in motion. Keep both hands on the steering wheel whenever possible, and always keep your arms and legs within the operator’s compartment.
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.
Before backing up, look rearward and ensure that no one is behind you. Back up slowly.
Never spray while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
Do not operate the machine near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge gives way.
Reduce the speed 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.
Stop the machine, shut off the engine, remove the key, engage the parking brake, and inspect for damage after striking an object or if there is an abnormal vibration in the machine. Make all necessary repairs before resuming operation.
Slow down and use caution when making turns and crossing roads and sidewalks with the machine. Always yield the right-of-way.
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 increase in these conditions.
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.
Before you leave the operator’s position, do the following:
Park the machine on a level surface.
Shift the transmission into the NEUTRAL position (manual) or the PARK position (automatic).
Shut off the spray pump.
Engage the parking brake.
Shut off the engine and remove the key (if equipped).

Do not operate the machine when there is the risk of lightning.
Use accessories and attachments approved by Toro only.
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.
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 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.
Important: 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 section valve calibration is complete.
Lower the booms into position.
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.
Set the master-section switch to the OFF position.
Set the individual section switches, as needed, to the ON positions.
Drive to the location where you plan to spray.
Navigate to the Application Rate screen on the InfoCenter and set the desired rate by performing the following steps:
Ensure that the switch for the pump is in the ON position.
For HD-series models with a manual transmission, select the desired gear range.
Begin driving at your target ground speed.
For HD-series models with a manual transmission or with an 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 an automatic transmission that are operated in the automatic mode, the computer automatically adjusts the sprayer pressure to maintain the application rate.
Return to the location where you are spraying.
Set the master-section 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.
When finished spraying, set the master-section switch to the OFF position to turn off all spay sections, and disengage the PTO lever (HD-series models with a manual transmission).
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 extremely 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.
The boom-section lift switches on the sprayer control panel allows you to move the outer spray sections between transport position and spray position without leaving the operator's seat. Whenever possible, stop the machine before changing spray section positions.
Perform the following steps to move the outer spray sections to the SPRAY position:
Park the machine on a level surface.
Use the boom-section lift switches to lower the outer sections.
Note: Wait until the outer spray sections reach the full, extended spray position.
Complete the sprayer job, then perform the following steps to retract the outer spray sections into the transport position:
Park the machine on a level surface.
Use the boom-section lift switches to raise the outer spray sections, until they have moved completely into boom-section transport cradles forming the “X” transport position, and the lift cylinders are fully retracted.
Important: Release the boom-section lift switch(es) once the outer spray sections have reached the desired position. Running the actuators against the mechanical stops may damage the lift cylinders and/or other hydraulic components.
Important: To prevent damage to the lift cylinder, make sure that the actuators are fully retracted before transporting the machine.
The sprayer is equipped with boom-section transport cradles that have a unique safety feature. In the event the spray section accidentally contacts with a low overhead object while in the transport position, you can push the spray section(s) out of the transport cradles. If this occurs, the spray sections come to rest in a near horizontal position to the rear of the machine. While this movement will not damage the spray sections, they should be immediately positioned into the transport cradle.
Important: The spray sections can be damaged by transporting them in any position other than the “X” transport position using the boom transport cradle.
To put the outer spray sections back into the transport cradle, lower the spray section(s) to the spray position and then raise the spray section(s) back to the transport position. Make sure that the lift cylinders are fully retracted to prevent damaging the actuator rod.
Do not overlap areas where 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, 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 spray 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.
HD-Series Models with an Automatic Transmission Operated in the Automatic Mode
Note: Refer to the nozzle selection guide that is available through your authorized Toro distributor.
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 the application rate, slow your ground speed to achieve your application rate or select a sprayer nozzle with a higher application rate range.
If a nozzle becomes clogged while you are spraying, clean the nozzle as follows:
Stop the sprayer on a level surface, shut off the engine, and engage the parking brake.
Set the master section switch to the OFF position and then set the sprayer-pump switch to the OFF position.
Remove the clogged nozzle and clean it using a spray bottle of water and a toothbrush.
Install the nozzle.
Park the machine on a level surface; engage the parking brake; shut off the engine; remove the key; and wait for all movement to stop before leaving the machine.
After you finish operating the machine for the day, wash off all chemical residue from the outside of the machine; refer to Chemical Safety.
Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine in any enclosure.
Maintain and clean the seat belt(s) as necessary.
Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water heater or other appliance.
Keep all parts of the machine in good working condition and all hardware tightened.
Replace all worn, damaged, or missing decals.
Important: Do not use brackish or reclaimed water to clean the machine.
Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the key.
