understanding the contents of this manual. A
replacement manual is available by sending
complete model and serial number to: Hahn
Equipment Co., a subsidiary of The Toro Company,
1625 N. Garvin, Evansville, IN 47711.
2. Learn how to operate the Sprayer and how to
use the controls properly. DO NOT let anyone
operate this equipment without first receiving
thorough instructions.

3. 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.
4. Chemicals can injure persons, animals, plants,
soils or other property. To eliminate environmental
damage and personal injury:
A. Obtain proper training before using or
handling chemicals.
B. Select the proper chemical for the job.
C. Follow manufacturers instructions on
chemical container labels. Apply and handle
chemicals as recommended.
D. Handle and apply chemicals with care.
Wear goggles and other necessary protective
equipment. Handle chemicals in well
ventilated areas. Never smoke while handling
chemicals.
E. Properly dispose of chemical container and
unused chemicals.
4. 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 the Skid Sprayer in any
manner may affect the Skid Sprayer's operation,
performance, durability or its use may result in
injury or death. Such use could void the product
warranty of the Toro Company.
5. This equipment should not be modified without
The Toro Companys authorization. Direct any
inquiries to:

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6. Since gasoline is highly flammable, handle it
carefully.
A. Use an approved gasoline container.
B. Do not remove cap from fuel tank when
engine is hot or running.
C. Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
D. Fill fuel tank outdoors and to about 1/2
below top of tank, (bottom of filler neck). Do
not overfill.
E. Wipe up any spilled gasoline.
WHILE OPERATING:
Drive the transport vehicle safely.
WARNING
Attaching the trailer sprayer to a vehicle
changes the weight and handling of the
vehicle, and could cause loss of control
resulting in serious injury or death.
Refer to the vehicles operators manual
for tow bar and braking capacities and
do not exceed those recommendations.
Consider the terrain that the trailer
sprayer will be used on when evaluating
the capacities of the tow vehicle. Hills
and slopes will require more braking
power and stopping distance than flat
areas.
1. DO NOT make sudden or sharp turns. DO
NOT suddenly change direction of travel on an
incline, ramp, grade, slope or similar surface.
2. Make certain everyone is clear of the machine
before starting the engine to move the transport
vehicle or to engage the Sprayer Pump drive.
3. Do not touch engine, muffler or muffler shield
while engine is running or soon after it has
stopped. These areas may be hot enough to cause
burns.
4. If equipment begins to vibrate abnormally, stop
immediately. Shut off the Skid Sprayer engine
and disengage all power. Repair all damage
before commencing operation.
MAINTENANCE:
WARNING
The engine exhaust from this product
contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm.
WARNING: Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide which is an odorless, deadly poison.
Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed
area.
1. Before servicing or making any adjustments
to the Skid Sprayer:
Do not use the fully loaded sprayer in
areas where stopping and vehicle
handling is questionable. The following
chart should be used to adjust the weight
of the sprayer to fit the tow vehicle and
its conditions.

moving parts have stopped.
C. Shut off the Skid Sprayers engine and
remove wire from spark plug. Make sure wire
cannot contact plug accidentally.
D. Keep hands, feet and clothing away from
all power driven parts.
2. Keep all nuts, bolts and other fasteners
tightened securely. Replace any shields removed
during servicing or adjustments.
3. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the
engine area free of excessive grass, leaves and
accumulation of dirt.

BEFORE SPRAYING
NOZZLE SELECTION:
See the nozzle charts on page 7 or 8 to be sure
that your spray nozzles have the capacity
necessary to achieve the application rate selected.
To select the proper nozzle, you need to know:
1. Recommended chemical application rate in
gallons per acre, gallons per 1000 sq. ft. or liters
per hectare.
2. Average Vehicle speed in Miles per hour or
kilometers per hour.
3. Nozzle spacing (20 inches or 50 centimeters.)
With this information you can calculate the volume
per minute per nozzle, using the formulas below.
US FORMULA:
G.P.M. =
(Per Nozzle)5940
TU (Turf) FORMULA:
G.P.M.=
(Per Nozzle)137
SI (METRIC) FORMULA:
lit/min=
(Per Nozzle)60,000
Use G.P.M. (lit/min) and Pressure to select
appropriate nozzle from chart on page 7 or 8.
EXAMPLE (US FORMULA):
Application Rate = 75 Gallons/Acre
Vehicle Speed = 4 M.P.H.
Nozzle Spacing = 20 inches
G.P.A. x M.P.H. X 20 ins.
G.P.K. x M.P.H. x 20 ins.
lit/ha x km/h x 50 cm
SYMBOL DEFINITIONS:
GPM- Gallons per minute
lit/min- Liters per minute
dl/min- Deciliter per minute
PSI- Pounds per square inch
kPa- Kilopascal
GPA- Gallons per acre
lit/ha- Liter per hectare
ml/ha- Milliliter per hectare
GPK- Gallons per 1,000 sq. ft.
mm- Millimeters
cm- Centimeters
dm- Decimeters
m- Meter
MPH- Miles per hour
km- Kilometers
km/h- Kilometers per hour
US- Volume per ACRE
SI- Volume per HECTARE
TU- Volume per 1,000 sq. ft.
LIQUID CONVERSIONS
U.S. Gallons x 128 = Fluid Ounces
U.S. Gallons x 3.785 = Liters
U.S. Gallons x 0.83267 = Imperial Gallons
U.S. Gallons x 8.34 = Pounds (Water)
LENGTH
1 millimeter (mm) = 0.039 inch
1 centimeter (cm) = 0.393 inch
1 meter (m) = 3.281 feet
1 kilometer (km) = 0.621 mile
1 inch = 25.4 millimeters; 2.54 centimeters
1 mile = 1.609 kilometers
75 G.P.A. x 4 M.P.H. x 20=1.00 G.P.M.
5940 (per nozzle)
With 1.00 G.P.M. and a pressure of 40 P.S.I. you
would select Nozzle No. 95-9188.
EXAMPLE (TU FORMULA):
Application Rate = 1.70 Gal./1000 sq. ft.
Vehicle Speed = 4 M.P.H.
Nozzle Spacing = 20 inches
1.70 G.P.K. x 4 M.P.H. x 20 =1.00 G.P.M.
137 (per nozzle)
EXAMPLE (SI FORMULA):
Application Rate = 907 lit/hectare
Vehicle Speed = 5 km/h
Nozzle Spacing = 50 cm
907 lit/ha x 5 km/h x 50 =3.78 lit/min.
60,000 (per nozzle)
With 3.78 lit/min and a pressure at 275 kPa you
would select nozzle No. 95-9188
