• Since fuel is highly flammable, handle it carefully.
– Use an approved fuel container.
– Do not remove the cap from the fuel tank when the
engine is hot or running.
– Do not smoke while handling fuel.
– 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 fuel.
– 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.
While Operating
Warning
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which
is an odorless, deadly poison that can kill you.
Do not run the engine indoors or in an enclosed
area.
• The operator and passenger should remain seated
whenever the sprayer is in motion. The operator should
keep both hands on the steering wheel whenever
possible, and the passenger should use the hand holds
provided. Keep your arms and legs within the sprayer
body at all times.
• Drive slower and turn less sharply when you are
carrying a passenger. Remember your passenger may
not be expecting you to brake or turn and may not be
ready.
• Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs such as
tree limbs, door jambs, and overhead walkways. Ensure
that there is enough room overhead 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.
– 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.
• 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. Remove your foot from the traction pedal 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 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 slipperier 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 ensure that
5
Page 6
they work properly. If they do not, drive slowly while
putting light pressure on the brake pedal. This will dry
the brakes out.
• When operating the machine with liquid in the tank,
reduce your speed and allow for sufficient braking
distance. Do not suddenly apply the brakes. Use extra
caution on slopes.
• Be aware that heavy loads increase your stopping
distance and reduce your ability to turn quickly without
tipping over.
Operating on Hills and Rough Terrain
Warning
Sudden changes in terrain may cause abrupt
steering wheel movement, possibly resulting in
hand and arm injuries.
• Reduce your speed when operating the machine
on rough terrain and near curbs.
• Grip the steering wheel loosely around the
perimeter. Keep your hands clear of the steering
wheel spokes.
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 or brake quickly when backing down
a hill, especially with liquid in the tank.
• 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.
• Avoid stopping on hills, especially with liquid in the
tank. 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 brake
hard when rolling backward, as this may cause the
sprayer to overturn.
• The Toro Company strongly recommends installing the
optional rollover protection system (ROPS) kit when
operating on hilly terrain. If you install a ROPS, always
wear the seat belt when driving the sprayer.
• Liquid loads shift when you are turning, going up or
down hills, suddenly changing speeds, or while driving
over rough surfaces. Shifting loads can cause the
sprayer to tip over. Reduce your speed in these
conditions.
Maintenance
• Only permit qualified and authorized personnel to
maintain, repair, adjust, or inspect the sprayer.
• Before performing any maintenance, ensure that the
system has been thoroughly rinsed and cleaned.
• 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 ensure 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 traction control speed. 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 the skin and cause an injury that requires
surgery within a few hours by a qualified surgeon;
otherwise, gangrene may result.

Important Refer to Servicing Engine Oil on page 30
for the proper oil type and viscosity. Add the oil slowly and
check the level often during this process. Do not overfill.
6. Install the filler cap.
7. Install the dipstick firmly in place.
Checking the Tire Pressure
Check the tire pressure every 8 operating hours or daily to
ensure proper levels. Fill the tires to 18 psi (124 kPa). Also,
check the tires for wear or damage.
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel
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 fuel that
spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
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 fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children. Never buy more
than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground
away from your sprayer before filling.
• Do not fill fuel 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 diesel-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 fuel dispenser
nozzle.
• If a fuel 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.

Page 14
Filling the Fuel Tank
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 10.6 US gallons
(40 l). The engine runs on No. 2-D or 1-D automotive type
diesel fuel with a minimum cetane rating of 40.
Note: Your engine may require a higher cetane-rated fuel if
you operate the machine at high altitudes or in low
atmospheric temperatures.
5. Fill the tank to about 1 inch below the top of the tank,
(bottom of the filler neck).
Note: This space in the tank allows the fuel to expand.
Do not overfill.
6. Install the fuel tank cap securely.
7. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface.
2. Set the parking brake, stop the pump, stop the engine,
remove the ignition key, and allow the engine to cool.
3. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap (Fig. 4).

Danger
Checking the Coolant Level
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of water
and permanent ethylene glycol antifreeze. Check the level
of coolant in the radiator and the expansion tank at the
beginning of each day before starting the engine. The
cooling system capacity is 5.5 qt. (5.4 l).
Caution
If the engine has been running, the coolant may be
hot and pressurized. If you open the radiator cap
when the coolant is hot, it could spray out and
severely burn you or bystanders.
Allow the engine to cool for at least 15 minutes
before opening the radiator cap.
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface.
2. Set the parking brake, stop the pump, stop the engine,
and remove the ignition key.
3. Carefully remove the radiator cap (Fig. 5) and the
expansion tank cap (Fig. 6).
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
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 the fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.

Pre-Starting Checks
Bleeding the Fuel System
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.
• Ensure that the lights are working.
• With the engine off, check for oil leaks, loose parts, and
any noticeable malfunctions.
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
1. Sit on the operator’s seat and keep your foot off the
traction pedal.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.

and can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
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 the fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, approved fuel container
and keep the cap in place.

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).
• Avoid racing the engine.
• Vary the sprayer speed during operation. Avoid fast
starts and quick stops.
• Refer to the Maintenance section for any special
low-hour checks.

Adjusting the Boom Bypass
Operating the Sprayer
Valves
Important If you have the Pro Controlt Spray System
installed, the boom bypass valves must be closed. Use the
following adjustment only when you are not using the Pro
Control Spray System.
After you install your booms and nozzles and before using
the sprayer for the first time, adjust the boom bypass valves
so that the pressure and application rate remains the same
for all booms when you turn one or more booms off.
1. Select an open flat area to perform this procedure.
2. Fill the spray tank with clean water.
3. Put the extension booms down, if installed.
4. Set the parking brake and start the engine.
5. Move the throttle lever to the Spray position.
6. Set the pump switch to the On position to start the
pump.
7. Set all 3 boom switches and the master boom switch to
the On position.
8. Use the application rate switch to adjust the pressure as
read on the pressure gauge until it is in the range for the
nozzles you installed on the booms (typically 40 psi).
9. Record the reading on the pressure gauge.
10. Turn off one of the booms using the appropriate boom
switch.
11. Adjust the boom bypass valve (Fig. 27) under the boom
control valve for the boom you turned off until the
pressure reading on the gauge is the same as it was in
step 8.
To operate the sprayer, first fill the spray tank, then apply
the solution to the work area, and finally clean the tank. It
is important that you complete all 3 of these steps in
succession to avoid damaging the sprayer. For example, do
not mix and add chemicals in the spray tank at night and
then spray in the morning. This would lead to separation of
the chemicals and possible damage to the sprayer
components.
Caution
Chemicals are hazardous and can cause personal
injury.
• Read the directions on the chemical labels
before handling the chemicals and follow all
manufacturer recommendations and
precautions.
• Keep chemicals away from your skin. Should
contact occur, wash the affected area thoroughly
with soap and clean water.
• Wear goggles and any other protective
equipment recommended by the chemical
manufacturer.
Filling the Spray Tank
Important Ensure that the chemicals you will be using
are compatible for use with Viton (see the manufacturer’s
label; it should indicate if it is not compatible). Using a
chemical that is not compatible with Viton will degrade the
o-rings in the sprayer, causing leaks.
1. Stop the sprayer on a level surface, stop the engine, and
set the parking brake.
