Before Operating

CAUTION

Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the engine, pull the wires off the spark plugs and remove the key from the switch.

CHECK CRANKCASE OIL (Fig. 1)

The engine is shipped with 1-3/4 quarts (w/ filter) of oil in the crankcase; however, the oil level must be checked before and after the engine is first started.

1. Position the machine on a level surface.

2. Pivot the seat upward.

3. Unscrew the dipstick and wipe it with a clean

cloth. Screw the dipstick into the tube and make sure it is seated fully. Unscrew the dipstick from the tube and check the level of oil. If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap from the valve cover (next to the dipstick) and add enough oil to raise the level to the FULL mark on the dipstick.

4. The engine uses any high-quality detergent oil having the American Petroleum Institute — API— “service classification” SE, SF or SG. Recommended viscosity (weight) is SAE 30.

in the tube to provide proper sealing of the engine crankcase. Failure to seal the crankcase may result in engine damage.

IMPORTANT: Check the level of oil every 8 operating hours or daily. Initially, change the oil after the first 8 hours of operation; thereafter, under normal conditions, change the oil every 50 hours and the filter every 100 hours. However, change the oil more frequently when the engine is operated in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.

FILL THE FUEL TANK

DANGER

Because gasoline is flammable, caution must be used when storing or handling it. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running, hot or when the machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may build up and be ignited by a spark or flame source many feet away.

DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to prevent the possibility of an explosion. Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled gasoline before starting the engine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling gasoline, and fill the tank no higher than one inch below the top of the tank (bottom of the filler neck). DO NOT OVER FILL.

➀

Figure 1

1. Dipstick

5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.

IMPORTANT: The dipstick must be fully seated

Store gasoline in a clean safety approved container and keep the cap on the container. Keep gasoline in a cool, well-ventilated place; never in an enclosed area such as a hot storage shed. To assure volatility, do no buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline. Gasoline is a fuel for internal combustion engines; therefore do not use it for any other purpose. Since many children like the smell of gas, keep it out of their reach because the fumes are explosive and dangerous to inhale.

Fuel tank capacity is approximately 5.5 gallons.

Controls

Traction and Stopping Pedal (Fig. 5–6)—The traction pedal has three functions: one, to make the machine move forward, two, to move it backward and three, to stop the machine. Using the heel and toe of the right foot, depress the top of the pedal to move forward and bottom of the pedal to move backward or to assist in stopping when moving forward. Allowing the pedal to move to the neutral position will stop the machine. Do not rest your heel on

reverse when operating forward (Fig. 6).

Ground speed is proportionate to how far the traction pedal is depressed. For maximum ground speed, the pedal must be fully depressed while the throttle is in the FAST position. To get maximum power or when ascending a hill, have the throttle in the FAST position while depressing the pedal slightly to keep engine rpm high. When engine rpm begins to decrease, release the pedal slightly to allow rpm to increase.

Operation

STARTING/ST OPPING ENGINE

1. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and

make sure the pedal is in the neutral position.

2. Push the choke forward to the ON position—when

starting a cold engine—and the throttle lever to the SLOW position.

3. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it

clockwise to start the engine. Release the key when the engine starts. Regulate the choke to keep the engine running smoothly.

IMPORTANT: To prevent overheating of the starter motor, do not engage starter longer than 10 seconds. After 10 seconds of continuous cranking, wait 60 seconds before engaging starter motor again.

4. When the engine is started for the first time, or

after overhaul of the engine, operate the machine in forward and reverse for one to two minutes. Also operate the lift lever to be sure of proper operation of all parts. Shut the engine off and check for oil leaks, loose parts and any other noticeable malfunctions.

1. Check interlock operation in an open area free of

debris and bystanders. Stop the engine.

2. Sit on the seat. Depress the traction pedal in for-

ward and reverse directions, while trying to start the engine. If the engine cranks,there may be a malfunction in the interlock system. Repair immediately. If the engine does not crank, the system is operating correctly.

CAUTION

The interlock switch is for the operator’s protection, so do not disconnect it. Check operation of the switch daily to assure the interlock system is operating. If the switch is defective, re;place it before operating. Regardless of whether the switch is operating correctly, replace it every two years to assure maximum safety. Do not rely entirely on safety switches—use common sense.

TOWING THE SAND PR O

In case of emergency, the SAND PRO can be towed for a short distance. However, Toro does not recommend this as a standard procedure.

CAUTION

Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop before checking for leaks, loose parts and other malfunctions.

5. To stop the engine, move the throttle control to the

SLOW position and turn the ignition key to OFF. Remove the key from switch to prevent accidental starting.

6. Close the fuel shut-off valve before storing the

machine.

CHECK THE TRA CTION INTERLOCK SYSTEM

The interlock system prevent s the engine from cranking or starting unless the traction pedal is in “NEUTRAL”.

IMPORTANT: Do not tow the machine faster than 2-3 mph because drive system may be damaged. If the machine must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.

1. Remove the (3) screws securing the side panel

from the left side of the machine and remove the panel.

2. Rotate by-pass valve on pump counterclockwise

until it is fully open (Fig.11).

3. Before starting the engine, close the by-pass valve

securely by turning it clockwise. Do not exceed 5–8 ft-lßb torque. Do not start the engine when the valve is open.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

1. Only 8 hours operating time is required for the

SAND PRO break-in period.

Page 15

Operating

2. The first hours of operation are critical to future dependability of the machine. Monitor its functions and performance closely so that minor difficulties, which could lead to major problems,

are noted and can be corrected. Inspect the SAND PRO frequently during break-in for signs of oil leakage, loose fasteners, or any other malfunction.

OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

Practice driving the SAND PRO because its operating characteristics are different than some utility vehicles. Two points to consider when operating the vehicle are transmission and engine speed.

ground speed with no load results when the throttle is in the FAST position and the traction pedal is slowly but fully depressed. In summary, always keep the engine speed high enough to deliver maximum torque-power-to the wheels.

CAUTION

Using the machine demands attention. To prevent tipping or loss of control, use care when entering and leaving sand traps. Use extreme caution around ditches, creeks or other hazards. Use caution when operating the machine on a steep slope. Reduce speed when making sharp turns or when turning on hillsides. Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from reverse to full forward without first coming to a complete stop.

INSPECTION AND CLEAN-UP

At the completion of operation, after the engine has cooled, thoroughly wash the machine with a garden hose - without a nozzle - so excessive water pressure will not cause contamination and damage to seals and bearings.

Make sure cooling fins and area around the engine cooling air intake are kept free of debris. After cleaning, it is recommended the machine be inspected for possible hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and mechanical components.

To maintain somewhat constant engine speed, depress the traction pedal slowly. This allows the engine to keep up with ground speed of the vehicle. By contrast, pushing down quickly on the traction pedal will reduce engine rpm and, as a result, there will not be enough torque-power-to move the vehicle. Therefore, to transfer maximum power to the wheels, move the throttle to FAST and slightly depress the traction pedal. By comparison, maximum

bly because washing removes dust from beneath fins.

A. Prepare a solution of filter cleaner and water

and soak the filter element about 15 minutes. Refer to directions on the filter cleaner carton for complete information.

B. After soaking the filter for 15 minutes, rinse

it with clear water. Maximum water pressure must not exceed 40 psi to prevent damage to the filter element.

C. Dry the filter element using warm, flowing

air (160°F max), or allow element to air-dry. Do not use compressed air or a light bulb to dry the filter element because damage could result.

Compressed Air Method

IMPORTANT: Do not remove plastic fin assembly because back-blowing with compressed air removes dust from beneath fins.

Service the air cleaner filter every 100 hours or more frequently in extreme dusty or dirty conditions by washing or using compressed air. Replace the element after every five cleanings (500 hours) or annually, whichever comes first.

1. Remove and service dust cup; refer to Servicing the Dust Cup and Baffle.

2. Remove the wing nut w/gasket and slide the filter element out of the air cleaner body.

3. Clean the element by washing it in a solution of filter cleaner (Toro Part No. 27-7220) and water, or blow dirt out of the filter using compressed air.

Note: Compressed air is recommended when the element must be used immediately after servicing because a washed element must be dried before it is used. By comparison, washing the element cleans better than blowing dirt out with compressed air. Remember, though, the filter must be washed when exhaust soot is lodged in the filter pores.

A. Blow compressed air from inside to the out-

side of the dry filter element. Do not exceed 100 psi to prevent damage to the element.

B. Keep the air hose nozzle at least one inch

from the pleated paper, and move the nozzle up and down while rotating the filter element. Inspect the element when dust and dirt are removed; refer to Inspecting the

Filter Element.

4. Wipe inside of the air cleaner body with a damp

cloth to remove excess dust. Slide the filter into the air cleaner body and secure it in place with a wing nut and gasket.

5. Install the dust cup and baffle. Move the thumb

screw behind the air cleaner body and tighten it securely.

After the idle mixture has been adjusted, hold the governor lever so the throttle lever is in the idle position (against the idle stop screw) and readjust the idle stop screw to bring idle speed to 1550± 50 rpm.

6. With the governor control lever in the governed

idle position (no tension on the high-speed spring) bend the idle spring anchor tang to attain a governed idle speed of 1750± 50 rpm.

Note: The spark plug usually lasts a long time; however, the plug should be removed and checked whenever the engine malfunctions.

1. Clean the area around the spark plugs so foreign

matter cannot fall into the engine cylinder when you remove the spark plug.

2. Pull the spark plug wires off spark plugs and

remove the plugs from the cylinder head.

3. Check the condition of the side electrode, center

electrode, and center electrode insulator to assure there is no damage.

IMPORTANT: A cracked, fouled, dirty or otherwise malfunctioning spark plug must be replaced. Do not sand blast, scrape, or clean electrodes by using a wire brush because grit may eventually release from the plug and fall into the cylinder. The result is usually a damaged engine.

4. Set air gap between the center and side of elec-

trodes at 0.030”. Install a correctly gapped spark plug w/gasket seal, and tighten the plug firmly.

7. Move the throttle control to FAST. Bend the

high speed spring anchor tang to attain a high speed of 3150 ±50 rpm.

REPLACING SPARK PLUGS

Replace the spark plugs after every 100 operating hours or yearly, which ever occurs first. Recommended air gap is 0.030”.

port blocks under the frame.

Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid accidentally injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may result.

CHARGING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Whenever a hydraulic component is repaired or replaced the hydraulic oil filter should be changed and hydraulic system charged.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the hydraulic reservoir is filled with oil at all times when charging the hydraulic system.

1. Park the machine on a level surface and turn the

engine off.

5. Start the engine and set the throttle to allow the

engine to run at slow idle at 1800 rpm.

6. Actuate the lift valve lever until the lift cylinder

rod moves in and out several times. If the cylinder rod does not move after 10–15 seconds, or the pump emits abnormal sounds, shut the engine off immediately and find the cause or problem. Inspect for the following:

A. Loose filter or suction lines.

B. Blocked suction line.

C. Faulty charge relief valve.

D. Faulty charge pump.

If the cylinder moves in 10–15 seconds, go to step 7.

BATTERY ST ORAGE

If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days, remove the battery and charge it fully. Either store it on a shelf or on the machine. Leave the cables disconnected if stored on the machine. Store the battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the charge in the battery. To prevent the battery from freezing, make sure it is fully charged. The specific gravity of a fully charged battery is 1.250.

BATTERY CARE

1. The battery’s electrolyte level must be properly

maintained and the top of the battery kept clean. If the machine is stored in a location where temperatures are extremely high, the battery will run down more rapidly than if the machine is stored in a location where temperatures are cool.

2. Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it

periodically with a brush dipped in an ammonia or bicarbonate of soda solution. Flush the top surface with water after cleaning. Do not remove the fill cap while cleaning.

Page 26

Maintenance

WARNING

Connecting cables to the wrong post could result in personal injury and/or damage to the electrical system

3. Battery cables must be tight on the terminals to

provide good electrical contact.

4. If corrosion occurs at the battery terminals, dis-

connect the cables—negative (–) cable first— and scrape the clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect the cables—positive (+) cable first— and coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.

5. Check the electrolyte level every 25 operating

hours or, if the machine is in storage, every 30 days.

CAUTION

Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when working with electrolyte. Charge the battery in a well ventilated place so gasses produced while charging can dissipate. Since the gases are explosive, keep open flames and electrical sparks away from the battery; do not smoke. Nausea may result if the gases are inhaled. Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet before connecting or disconnecting the charger leads.

6. Maintain the cell fluid level with distilled or

demineralized water. Do not fill cells above the fill line.
