Chemical Safety
Warning
• Never allow other adults to operate the sprayer without
first reading and understanding the Operator’s Manual.
Only trained and authorized persons should operate this
sprayer. Make sure that all operators are physically and
mentally capable of operating the sprayer.
Chemicals are hazardous and can injure you,
bystanders, animals, plants, soils, or other
property.
• Carefully read and follow the chemical
manufacturer’s instructions for the safe
preparation, use, and disposal of the chemical.
• Keep chemicals off of your or bystander’s skin.
if contact should occur, wash it off immediately
with clean water and detergent.
• Wear goggles and other protective equipment as
instructed by the chemical manufacturer.
• Obtain proper training before using or handling
chemicals.
• Use the correct chemical for the job.
• Follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions for the
safe application of the chemical.
• Handle chemicals in a well ventilated area.
• Wear goggles and other protective equipment as
instructed by the chemical manufacturer. Ensure that as
little skin as possible is exposed while using chemicals.
• Have clean water available especially when filling the
spray tank.
• Do not eat, drink, or smoke while working with
chemicals.
• Always wash your hands and other exposed areas as
soon as possible after finishing the work.
• Properly dispose of unused chemicals and chemical
containers as instructed by the chemical manufacturer
and your local codes.
• Chemicals and fumes in the tanks are dangerous; never
enter the tank or place your head over or in the opening.
Before Operating
• Operate the machine only after reading and
understanding the contents of this manual.
• Never allow children to operate the sprayer. Anyone
who operates the sprayer should have a motor vehicle
license.
• This sprayer is designed to carry only you, the operator.
Never carry any passengers on the sprayer.
• Never operate the sprayer when under the influence of
drugs or alcohol. Even prescription drugs and cold
medicines can cause drowsiness.
• Do not drive the sprayer when you are tired. Be sure to
take occasional breaks. It is very important that you stay
alert at all times.
• Become familiar with the controls and know how to
stop the engine quickly.
• 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.
• Always wear substantial shoes. Do not operate the
machine while wearing sandals, tennis shoes, or
sneakers. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry
which could get caught in moving parts and cause
personal injury.
• Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, long pants, and a
helmet is advisable and required by some local safety
and insurance regulations.
• Avoid driving when it is dark, especially in unfamiliar
areas. If you must drive when it is dark, be sure to drive
cautiously, use the headlights, and even consider adding
additional lights.
• Be extremely careful when operating around people.
Always be aware of where bystanders might be and
keep them away from the work area.
• Before operating the sprayer, always check the
designated areas of the sprayer that are stated in the
Pre-Starting section of this manual, page 18. If
something is wrong, do not use the sprayer. Make sure
that the problem is corrected before the sprayer or
attachment is operated.
• Ensure that all fluid line connectors are tight and all
hoses are in good condition before applying pressure to
the system.
• Since gasoline is highly flammable, handle it carefully.
– Use an approved gasoline container.
– Do not remove the cap from the fuel tank when the
engine is hot or running.
– Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
4
Page 5
– Fill the fuel tank outdoors, and fill it to about 1 inch
(25 mm) below the top of the tank (the bottom of
the filler neck). Do not overfill it.
– Wipe up any spilled gasoline.
While Operating
Warning
– The electrical and exhaust systems of the sprayer
can produce sparks capable of igniting explosive
materials. Never operate the sprayer in or near an
area where there is dust or fumes in the air which
are explosive.
– 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 stopped. These areas may be
hot enough to cause burns.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which
is an odorless, deadly poison that can kill you.
Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed area.
• The operator should remain seated whenever the
sprayer is in motion. The operator should keep both
hands on the steering wheel whenever possible. Keep
your arms and legs within the sprayer body at all times.
• Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs such as
tree limbs, door jambs, and over-head walkways. Make
sure there is enough room over head to easily clear the
sprayer and your head.
• Failure to operate the sprayer safely may result in an
accident, tip over of the sprayer, 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, unfamiliar areas, or any areas that have
abrupt changes in ground conditions or elevation.
– Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
– Use extra caution when operating the sprayer on wet
surfaces, in adverse weather conditions, at higher
speeds, or with a full load. Stopping time and
distance will increase with a full load.
– 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 or abrupt maneuvers or other unsafe driving
actions that may cause a loss of sprayer 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 sprayer 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.
• If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop
immediately, wait for all motion to stop, and inspect the
sprayer for damage. Repair all damage before resuming
operation.
• Before getting off of the seat:
A. Stop the movement of the machine.
B. Place the range selector in Neutral and set the
parking brake.
C. Turn the ignition key to Off.
D. Remove the ignition key.
Note: If the sprayer is stopped on an incline, block the
wheels after getting off the sprayer.
Braking
• Slow down before you approach an obstacle. This gives
you extra time to stop or turn away. Hitting an obstacle
can damage the sprayer 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 sprayer harder to stop or turn. The
heavier the load, the longer it takes to stop.
• Turf and pavement are much more slippery 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
they work properly. If they do not, drive slowly while
putting light pressure on the brake pedal. This will dry
the brakes out.
Operating on Hills and Rough Terrain
Operating the sprayer on a hill may cause tipping or rolling
of the sprayer, or the engine may stall and you could lose
headway on the hill. This could result in personal injury.
• Do not accelerate quickly or slam on the brakes when
backing down a hill, especially with a load.
5
Page 6
• 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 will take longer than
stopping on level ground. If the sprayer must be
stopped, avoid sudden speed changes, which may
initiate tipping or rolling of the sprayer. Do not slam on
the brakes when rolling backward, as this may cause the
sprayer to overturn.
• The Toro Company strongly recommends installing the
optional ROPS Kit when operating on hilly terrain. If
you install a ROPS, always wear the seat belt when
driving the sprayer.
• 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.
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.
• 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 sprayer.
• Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine,
stop the engine, set the parking brake, and remove the
key from the ignition to prevent someone from
accidentally starting the engine.
• To make sure that the entire machine is in good
condition, keep all nuts, bolts, and screws properly
tightened.
• To reduce the potential for fire, keep the engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and
accumulation of dirt.
• Never use an open flame to check the level or leakage
of fuel or battery electrolyte.
• If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance
adjustment, keep your hands, feet, clothing, and any
parts of your body away from the engine and any
moving parts. Keep everyone away.
• Do not use open pans of fuel or flammable cleaning
fluids when cleaning parts.
• Do not adjust the ground speed governor. To ensure
safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro
Distributor check the ground speed.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject high pressure fluid. Use cardboard or
paper to find leaks. Fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury requiring surgery within
a few hours by a qualified surgeon or gangrene may
result.
• If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is
required, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
Loading
The weight of the cargo can change the sprayer center of
gravity and sprayer 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
sprayer.
• 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 sprayer 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.
• 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. Altering this
sprayer in any manner that may affect sprayer
operation, performance, durability, or its use, may result
in injury or death. Such use could void the product
warranty.

Before Operating
Adding Fuel
Checking the Engine Oil
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however,
the level of oil must be checked before you first start the
engine and after you have run it.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag
(Fig. 5). Insert the dipstick into the tube and make sure
it is seated fully. Remove the dipstick and check the oil
level.

1. Dipstick2. Filler cap
3. If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap from the
valve cover (Fig. 5) and pour oil into the opening until
the oil level is up to the Full mark on the dipstick; refer
to Servicing Engine Oil, page 33, for the proper oil type
and viscosity. Add the oil slowly and check the level
often during this process. Do not overfill.
4. Install the dipstick firmly in place.
Danger
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and others
and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline
that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1 inch
(25 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
This empty space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline and stay
away from an open flame or where gasoline
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy
more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
• Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your sprayer before filling.
• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate
the container and slow the loss of any static
charge.
• When practical, remove gas-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer and refuel the
equipment with its wheels on the ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep
the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
Recommended Gasoline
Use fresh, clean, unleaded regular gasoline suitable for
automotive use (87 pump octane minimum). Leaded
gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not available.
Checking the Tire Pressure
Check the tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to ensure
proper levels. Fill the tires to 18 psi (124 kPa). Also,
check the tires for wear or damage.
Important Never use gasoline containing methanol,
gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol, gasoline
additives, or white gas because engine fuel system damage
could result.
Filling the Fuel Tank
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 6 US gallons
(21 L).
14
Page 15
Note: The fuel tank cap contains a gauge which shows the
fuel level; check it frequently.
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap (Fig. 6).
Checking the Brake Fluid
The brake fluid reservoir is shipped from the factory filled
with DOT 3 brake fluid. Check the level before starting the
engine each day.

the voltmeter needle should be to the right.
Pre-Starting Checks
Check the following items each time you begin using the
sprayer for the day:
• Check the tire pressure.
Note: These tires are different than car tires; they
require less pressure to minimize turf compaction and
damage.
• Check all fluid levels and add the appropriate amount of
specified fluids, if any are found to be low.
• Check the brake pedal operation.
• Check to see that the lights are working.
• Turn the steering wheel to the left and right to check
steering response.
• Check for oil leaks, loose parts, and any other
noticeable malfunctions. Make sure the engine is off
and all moving parts have stopped before checking for
oil leaks, loose parts, and other malfunctions.
18
Page 19
If any of the above items are not correct, notify your
mechanic or check with your supervisor before taking the
sprayer out for the day. Your supervisor may want you to
check other items on a daily basis, so ask what your
responsibilities are.
Starting the Engine

New Sprayer Break-In
To provide proper performance and long sprayer life,
follow these guidelines for the first 100 operating hours:
• Check the fluid and engine oil levels regularly and be
alert for indications of overheating in any component of
the sprayer.
• After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about
15 seconds before accelerating.
• Avoid hard braking situations for the first several hours
of new sprayer break-in operation. New brake linings
may not be at optimum performance until several hours
of use has caused the brakes to become burnished
(broken-in).
4. If the engine is cold, pull the choke knob up.
Important Do not use the choke if the engine is warm.
5. Turn the key to the Start position until the engine starts.
Important Do not hold the key in the Start position for
more than 10 seconds. If the engine has not started after 10

control valve to the 3 o’clock position to turn it off.
Alternatively, you can use an anti-foaming agent in the
tank.
7. When finished spraying, set the master spray lever to
the Off position to turn off all booms, then set the pump
switch to the Off position.
Operating Tips
• Do not overlap areas that you have previously sprayed.
• Watch for plugged nozzles. Replace all worn or
damaged nozzles.
• Use the master spray lever to stop the spray flow before
stopping the sprayer. Once stopped, use the neutral
engine speed control to hold the engine speed up to
keep the agitation running.
• You will 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.
Important You must always empty and clean the
sprayer immediately after each use. Failure to do so may
cause the chemicals to dry or thicken in the lines, clogging
the pump and other components.
Note: Using the optional Rinse Kit will change this
process.
1. Stop the sprayer, set the parking brake, place the range
selector in the Neutral position, and turn off the engine.
2. Use the tank drain knob to drain any unused material
from the tank and dispose of it according to local codes
and the material manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Fill the tank with at least 50 US gallons (190 L) of clean
fresh water and close the cover.
Note: You can use a cleaning/neutralizing agent in the
water as needed. On the final rinse, use only clean, clear
water.
4. Start the engine.

Caution
If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and
seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the wire(s) from the spark plug(s) before you
do any maintenance. Set the wire(s) aside so that it does not accidentally contact the spark
plug(s).
Jacking the Sprayer
Whenever the engine is run for routine maintenance and/or
engine diagnostics, the rear wheels of the sprayer should be
1 inch (25 mm) off of the ground with the rear axle
supported on jack stands.
Danger
A sprayer on a jack may be unstable and slip off of
the jack, injuring anyone beneath it.
• Do not start the engine while the sprayer is on a
jack.
• Always remove the key from the ignition before
getting off of the sprayer.
• Block the tires when the sprayer is on a jack.

the body one wa., Align the pin of the paddle wheel
assembly with the hole in the flowmeter body. Do not
force the paddle wheel assembly into the body in any other
orientation.
5. Install the retaining cap.
Stowing the Boom Extensions
Use the boom restraints to lock the boom extensions in the
X position when you are not spraying.
1. Pivot the left boom extension into the upright position.
Important Do not force the boom extension past the
restraint hook when stowing or you may damage the
extension and nozzles.

Page 45
4. Release the knob allowing the hook to catch the boom
extension frame and secure it to the boom holder.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with the right boom extension
and left boom holder.
Adjusting the Extension
Booms
The electric lift on each extension boom adjusts the boom
position. To ensure trouble-free operation, you must not
allow the extension boom structure to contact any other
portion of the boom structure during operation.
You must allow the actuator to travel its full stroke and be
stopped by its own internal limits.
When the boom is fully upright, ensure that the ball support
structure on the boom does not contact the center boom cut
out. There should be a gap equal to the thickness of a
12-gauge piece of steel (0.106 inch or 3 mm) between these
two components (Fig. 61).
6. Loosen the jam nut and rotate the adjustment nut to
bring the ball support into contact with the 12-gauge
sheet stock shim and the cutout on the center boom.
7. Tighten the jam nut.
8. Remove the sheet stock shim.
9. Move the boom throughout its length of travel.
Note: Ensure that no part of the boom assembly
contacts any objects that may impede the boom travel.
Note: When you complete the adjustment, ensure that
the axis of the clevis pin is horizontal.
Note: The extension boom nozzles must be spaced 20
inches apart. Verify this spacing and adjust the nozzles if
necessary.
1
Figure 61
1. 12-gauge steel shim
To ensure this gap, adjust the boom as follows:
1. Set the boom in the horizontal position.
2. Rotate the adjustment nut until it is as close to the clevis
as possible.
3. Snug the clevis into position by tightening the jam nut.
4. Engage the electric lift to raise the boom to the fully
upright position.
Note: The actuator must be fully extended at this point
(at the end of its travel, a clutch will disengage and you
will hear clicking if the power is held on to the
actuator).
5. Insert a strip of 12-gauge steel stock between the ball
support and the cutout on the center boom.

Storage
Important Do not store stabilizer/conditioned
gasoline over 90 days.
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, set the parking
brake, stop the pump, stop the engine, and remove the
ignition key.
2. Clean dirt and grime from the entire machine, including
the outside of the engine’s cylinder head fins and
blower housing.
Important You can wash the machine with mild
detergent and water. Do not use high pressure water to
wash the machine. Pressure washing may damage the
electrical system or wash away necessary grease at friction
points. Avoid excessive use of water, especially near the
control panel, lights, engine, and the battery.
3. Clean the spray system; refer to Cleaning the Sprayer,
page 27.
4. Add a rust inhibiting, non-alcohol based, RV antifreeze
solution to the system and run the pump for a few
minutes to circulate it through the system, then drain the
spray system as completely as possible.
5. Inspect the brakes; refer to Inspecting the Brakes,
page 38.
6. Service the air cleaner; refer to Servicing the Air
Cleaner, page 31.
7. Grease the sprayer; refer to Greasing the Sprayer,
page 34.
8. Change the crankcase oil; refer to Servicing Engine Oil,
page 33.

Important The battery must be fully charged to prevent
it from freezing and being damaged at temperatures below
32°F (0°C). A fully charged battery maintains its charge for
about 50 days at temperatures lower than 40°F (4°C). If the
temperatures will be above 40°F (4°C), check the water
level in the battery and charge it every 30 days.
16. Check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws. Repair or
replace any part that is damaged.
