The SAND PRO was designed and tested to offer safe
service when operated and maintained properly.
Although hazard control and accident prevention partially are dependent upon the design and configuration of
the machine, these factors are also dependent upon the
awareness, concern, and proper training of the personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and
storage of the machine. Improper use or maintenance of
the machine can result in injury or death. To reduce the
potential for injury or death, comply with the following
safety instructions.
BEFORE OPERATING
1. Operate the machine only after reading and under-
standing the contents of this manual.
2. Never allow children to operate the machine or
adults to operate it without proper instructions.
3. Become familiar with the controls and know how to
stop the engine quickly.
4. Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place.
If a shield, safety device or decal is malfunctioning,
illegible, or damaged, repair or replace it before
operating the machine.
5. Always wear substantial shoes. Do not operate
machine while wearing sandals, tennis shoes or
sneakers. Do not wear loose fitting clothing which
could get caught in moving parts and cause personal
injury.
6. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, long pants and
a helmet is advisable and required by some local
safety and insurance regulations.
7. Ensure the traction interlock switch is adjusted cor-
rectly so the engine cannot be started unless the
traction pedal is released and in neutral position.
8. Keep everyone, especially children and pets away
from the areas of operation.
9. Since gasoline is highly flammable, handle it care-
fully.
A. Use an approved gasoline container.
B. Do not remove the cap from the fuel tank when
the engine is hot or running.
C. Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
D. Fill the fuel tank outdoors and to about one
inch below the top of the tank, (bottom of
filler neck). Do not overfill.
E. Wipe up any spilled gasoline.
10. Check the safety interlock system daily for proper
operation. If the switch should malfunction, replace
it before operating the machine. (After every two
years, replace the interlock switch in the safety system, whether it is working properly or not.)
WHILE OPERATING
11. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and could be deadly,
so do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation.
12. Sit on seat when operating the machine. Never carry
passengers.
13. When starting the engine:
A. Make sure the traction pedal is released.
B. After the engine is started, keep your foot off
the traction pedal. Machine must not move. If
movement is evident, the neutral return bracket
is adjusted incorrectly; therefore, shut the
engine off and readjust bracket so machine
does not move when in neutral position. If the
engine does not start, check interlock switch
for proper adjustment.
14. Using the machine demands attention. To prevent
tipping or loss of control:
A. Use care when entering and leaving sand traps.
Use extreme caution around ditches, creeks or
other hazards.
B. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
C. Use caution when operating machine on a
steep slope. Reduce speed when making sharp
turns or when turning on hillsides.
D. Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from
reverse to full forward without first coming to
a complete stop.
E. Before backing up, look to the rear and assure
no one is behind the machine.

Page 4
F. Watch out for traffic when near of crossing
roads. Always yield the right of way.
15. If the optional Draw Bar, Part No. 230, is installed
on machine, vertical load on the hitch should not
exceed 200 lbs.
16. Do not touch the engine, muffler or exhaust pipe
while the engine is running or soon after it has
stopped because these areas are hot enough to cause
burns.
17. If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop imme-
diately, turn the engine off, wait for all motion to
stop and inspect for damage. Repair all damage
before commencing operation.
18. Before getting off the seat:
A. Engage the parking brake and lower the attach-
ment. Take precautions to prevent accidental
starts, rolling away, etc.
B. Shut the engine off and wait for all movement
to stop.
19. Whenever machine is left unattended, be sure the
engine is stopped, implement is lowered and the key
is removed from the ignition.
MAINTENANCE
20. Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, stop the engine and pull the spark plug
wire off spark plug to prevent accidental starting of
the engine.
21. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are
tight,and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good
condition before applying pressure to the system.
22. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search
for leaks. 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.
23. Before disconnecting or performing any work on
the hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and lowering
attachments to the ground.
24. To make sure entire machine is in good condition,
keep all nuts, bolts and screws properly tightened.
25. If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is
required, contact an Authorized TORO Distributor.
26. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and accumulation of dirt.
27. If the engine must be running to perform a mainte-
nance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and
any parts of the body away from the engine and any
moving parts. Keep everyone away.
28. Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor
settings. Maximum engine speed is 3200 rpm. To
assure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro
Distributor check maximum engine speed with a
tachometer.
29. Engine must be shut off before checking oil or
adding oil to the crankcase.
30. To be sure of optimum performance and safety,
always purchase genuine TORO replacement parts
and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories
made by other manufacturers could be dangerous.
Such use could void the product warranty of The
Toro Company.

CHECK CRANKCASE OIL (Fig. 1)
The engine is shipped with 1.7 l (with filter) of oil in the
crankcase; however, check the level before and after the
engine is first started.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the engine cover.
3. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth,
then insert it fully back into the engine. Remove it
and check the oil level. If oil is low, remove the
filler cap (next to the dipstick) and add enough oil
to raise the level to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
Figure 1
1. Dipstick
4. Use any high-quality detergent oil having the API
classification SE, SF, or SG. Recommended viscosity is SAE 30.
5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.
6. Replace the engine cover.
IMPORTANT: The dipstick must be fully seated
in the tube to properly seal the engine crankcase.
Failure to seal the crankcase may result in
engine damage.
IMPORTANT: Check the oil level 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 25
hours and the filter every 100 hours. However,
change oil more often when operating the engine
in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
FILL THE FUEL TANK (Fig. 2)
THE TORO COMPANY STRONGLY RECOMMENDS
THE USE OF FRESH, CLEAN, UNLEADED REGULAR GRADE GASOLINE IN TORO GASOLINE
POWERED PRODUCTS. UNLEADED GASOLINE
BURNS CLEANER, EXTENDS ENGINE LIFE, AND
PROMOTES GOOD STARTING BY REDUCING THE
BUILD-UP OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER
DEPOSITS. LEADED GASOLINE CAN BE USED IF
UNLEADED IS NOT AVAILABLE.
NOTE: Never Use Methanol, Gasoline Containing
Methanol, Gasoline Containing More Than 10% Ethanol,
Gasoline Additives, Premium Gasoline Or White Gas
Because Engine Fuel System Damage Could Result.
Fuel tank capacity is 16.1 liters.
7
Before Operating
Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, stop the engine, pull wires off the spark plugs
and remove the key from the switch.
CAUTION
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.
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.
DANGER

2. Remove the fuel tank cap.
3. Fill the tank to about 3 mm below the top of the
tank, (bottom of filler neck). DO NOT OVERFILL.
Then install the cap.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent a
fire hazard.
CHECK THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
(Fig. 3)
The hydraulic system is designed to operate on Mobil
424 hydraulic oil. The machine’s 11 liter reservoir is
filled at the factory with oil. However, check the level of
oil before the engine is first started and daily thereafter.
1. Remove the cap from the hydraulic oil reservoir.
Figure 3
1. Oil reservoir cap
2. Check the level of oil in the reservoir. The oil level
should be up to the top of the cone point on the tank
screen.
3. If the oil level is low, slowly fill the reservoir with
appropriate hydraulic oil until the level is up to the
top of cone point on the tank screen. DO NOT
OVERFILL.

Traction and Stopping Pedal (Fig. 4–5)—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 your 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. Also, allow the pedal to
move or move it to the neutral position to stop the
machine. For operator comfort, do not rest the heel of
your foot on reverse when operating forward (Fig. 5).
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.
Figure 4
1. Traction and stopping pedal
Figure 5
IMPORTANT: For maximum pulling power, the
throttle should be in the “Fast” position, and the trac-
tion pedal just barely depressed.
IMPORTANT: The SAND PRO must not be operated in reverse with the implement in the down (operating) position, or the implement could be severely
damaged.
Ignition Switch (Fig. 6)—The ignition switch, used to
start and stop the engine, has three positions: OFF, RUN
and START. Turn the key clockwise—START position—
to engage the starter motor. Release the key when the
engine starts. The key will move automatically to the ON
position. To shut the engine off, turn the key counterclockwise to the OFF position.

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.

SLOW position and turn the ignition key to OFF.
Remove the key from from the switch to prevent
accidental starting.
6. Close the fuel shut-off valve before storing the
machine.
CHECK INTERLOCK SYSTEM
OPERATION
The purpose of the interlock system is to prevent the
engine from cranking or starting unless the traction pedal
is in “NEUTRAL”.
1. Check interlock operation in a wide open area free
of debris and bystanders. Stop the engine.
2. Sit on the seat. Depress the traction pedal in the 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 the system
immediately. If the engine does not crank, the system is operating correctly.
TOWING THE SAND PRO
In case of emergency, the SAND PRO can be towed for
a short distance. However, Toro does not recommend
this as a standard procedure.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow the machine faster than
3–5 kmh because drive system may be damaged. If
the machine must be moved a considerable distance,
transport it on a truck or trailer. Tires may lock up
if the machine is towed too fast. If this occurs, stop
towing the machine and wait for traction circuit pressure to stabilize before resuming towing at a slower
speed.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
1. Only 8 hours operating time is required for the
SAND PRO break-in period.
2. Since the first hours of operation are critical to
future dependability of the machine, monitor its
functions and performance closely so that minor
difficulties that 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 from those of other utility
vehicles. Two points to consider when operating the
vehicle are transmission and engine speed.
To maintain somewhat constant engine rpm, 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 rear wheels, move the throttle to
FAST and slightly depress the traction pedal.
By comparison, maximum ground speed with no load
results when throttle is at FAST and the traction pedal is
slowly but fully depressed. In summary, always keep
engine rpm high enough to deliver maximum torque—
power—to the rear wheels.
INSPECTION AND CLEAN-UP
At the completion of operation, 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 the area around the engine
cooling air intake are kept free of debris. After cleaning,
inspect the machine for possible hydraulic fluid leaks,
damage or wear to hydraulic and mechanical components.
Operation
11
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.
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.

CLEANING THE CYLINDER HEAD
FINS
To avoid overheating and possible engine damage, the
cooling fins on the cylinder head must be kept clean.
CHANGING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
OIL AND FILTER
The hydraulic system filter must be changed initially,
after the first 8 hours of operation, and thereafter every
400 hours of operation or yearly, whichever comes first.
Use a genuine Toro oil filter for replacement. The
hydraulic oil must be changed every 400 hours of operation or yearly, whichever comes first.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and turn the
engine off.
2. Pivot seat upward.
3. Disconnect hose from bottom fitting of the reservoir
and let oil flow into drain pan. Reinstall and tighten
the hose when the oil stops draining.
4. Clean the area around the hydraulic oil filter.
Remove the filter from the bottom of the filter
housing and allow the oil to flow into a drain pan.
Use a bottom-type filter wrench. Dispose of the oil
filter properly.
5. Apply a film of oil on the filter gasket. Install the
filter by hand until the gasket contacts mounting
head; then tighten filter an additional three-fourth’s
turn.

6. Fill the reservoir to proper level, refer to Check the
Hydraulic System.
7. Place all controls in the neutral or disengaged posi-
tion and start the engine. Run the engine at its lowest possible RPM to purge the system of air.
8. Run the engine until the lift cylinder extends and
retracts and forward and reverse wheel motion is
achieved.
9. Stop the engine and check the oil level in the reser-
voir, add oil if necessary.
10. Check all connections for leaks.
11. Lower the seat.
12. Dispose of oil properly.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC LINES
AND HOSES
Check hydraulic lines and hoses daily for leaks, kinked
lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings,
weather deterioration and chemical deterioration. Make
all necessary repairs before operating.
REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER
An in-line filter is incorporated into the fuel line. Use the
following procedures should replacement become necessary:
1. Close the fuel shut-off valve (Fig. 8).
2. Clamp both fuel lines that connect to the fuel filter
so gasoline cannot drain when lines are removed.
3. Loosen the hose clamps at both ends of the filter
and pull the fuel lines off the filter.
Maintenance
16
Keep 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.
WARNING

4. Slide hose clamps onto the ends of the fuel lines.
Push the fuel lines onto the fuel filter and secure
them with hose clamps. Be sure the arrow on side
of filter points toward the carburetor.
BATTERY STORAGE
If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days,
remove the battery and charge it fully. Either store it on
the shelf 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. Battery electrolyte level must be properly main-
tained 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 battery clean by washing periodi-
cally with a brush dipped in ammonia or bicarbonate of soda solution. Flush the top surface with
water after cleaning. Do not remove the fill cap
while cleaning.
3. Battery cables must be tight on terminals to provide
good electrical contact.
4. If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the
cables, negative (–) cable first and scrape clamps
and terminals separately. Reconnect cables, positive (+) cable first and coat terminals with petroleum jelly.
5. Check the electrolyte level every 25 operating hours
or, if the machine is in storage, every 30 days.
6. Maintain cell level with distilled or demineralized
water. Do not fill cells above the fill line.

Maintenance
17
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when
working with electrolyte. Charge the battery in a
well ventilated place so gases produced while
charging can dissipate. Since the gases are explosive, keep open flames and electrical spark away
from the battery; do not smoke. Nausea may
result if the gases are inhaled. Unplug the charger
from the electrical outlet before connecting to or
disconnecting charger leads from battery posts.
CAUTION
Connecting cables to the wrong post could result
in personal injury and/or damage to the electrical
system.
