Installation

Note: The Foam Marker Kit is required to install this product. Contact your Authorized Toro Dealer for more information.

Preparing the Machine

Warning

Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the sprayer and cables, causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.

  • Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable.

  • Always reconnect the positive (red) battery cable before reconnecting the negative (black) cable.

Warning

Battery terminals or metal tools could short against metal sprayer components, causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.

  • When removing or installing the battery, do not allow the battery terminals to touch any metal parts of the sprayer.

  • Do not allow metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal parts of the sprayer.

  • Always keep the battery strap in place to protect and secure the battery.

  1. Park the machine on a level surface.

  2. Engage the parking brake.

  3. Shut off the engine and remove the key.

  4. Remove the battery cover and disconnect the negative (black—ground) cable from the battery post (Figure 1 and Figure 2).

    g206713

Finishing the Installation of the Kit

  1. Move the prop rod for the seats into the slots and tilt the seats down.

  2. Connect the positive (red) cable to the positive (+) battery post and the negative (black) cable to the negative (–) battery post using the bolts and nuts. Slide the insulator boot over both battery posts (Figure 2).

  3. Install the battery cover and secure it with the strap (Figure 1) that you removed in Preparing the Machine.

Operation

Using the Controls

  • COMPRESSOR ON/OFF switch—Use this switch to run the compressor for the foam marker system.

  • FOAM-CONTROL switch—Use this switch to control which boom from which foam flows.

    • Move the paddle down to apply foam from the left-boom section.

    • Move the paddle to the center position apply foam from the left- and right-boom sections.

    • Move the paddle up to apply foam from the right-boom section.

  • Indicator markings—The indicator markings are located at the side of the tank and indicate the solution level in the tank.

  • Foam-regulator valve—This valve controls the consistency of the foam solution. Adjusting the valve controls the amount of soap solution delivered to the foam nozzles. Increasing the flow results in larger, more frequent foam drops; decreasing the flow results in smaller, less frequent foam drops (Figure 32).

    Note: A watery marker consistency may be helpful on windy days.

  • Pressure relief valve—Pull the red tab on the tank cap outward to relieve pressure in the tank (Figure 32).

    Note: During compressor operation, the pressure-relief valve continuously opens/closes to maintain tank pressure; it is normal to see foam-marker solution and bubbles around the pressure-relief valve. Clean the pressure-relief valve periodically to maintain proper function of the valve.
