clothing which could get caught in moving parts.
Always wear long pants and substantial shoes. Wearing
safety glasses, safety shoes and a helmet is advisable
and required by some local ordinances and insurance
regulations.
While Operating
• Do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
• This vehicle is designed to carry only You, the operator
and one passenger in the seat provided by the
manufacturer. NEVER carry passengers on the machine
and keep everyone away from the areas of operation.
• Make sure all hydraulic fittings are tight and all
hydraulic hoses are in good condition before operating

• Keep hands and feet out of hopper when unit is
operating or engine is running on vehicle.
• Operator and passenger should remain seated whenever
the vehicle is in motion.
• Using the machine demands attention. Failure to
operate vehicle safely may result in an accident, tipover
of vehicle 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, any unfamiliar areas or other hazards.
• Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
• Use caution when operating vehicle on a steep
slope. Normally travel straight up and down slopes.
Reduce speed when making sharp turns or when
turning on hillsides. Avoid turning on hillsides
whenever possible.
• Use extra caution when operating vehicle on wet
surfaces, at higher speeds or with a full load.
Stopping time will increase with a full load. Shift
into a lower gear before starting up or down a hill
• Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from
reverse to forward or forward to reverse without
coming to a complete stop.
• Do not attempt sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers or
other unsafe driving actions that may cause a loss of
vehicle control.

underneath.
ALWAYS use the safety supports supplied with the
Workman to keep the cylinders in the extended position
while performing maintenance.
1. Push safety support onto cylinder rod, making sure
support end tabs rest on end of cylinder barrel and on
cylinder rod end.
2. Always install or remove safety support from outside of
topdresser.
3. Do not try to lower topdresser with safety safety
support on cylinder.
Connect Hydraulic Couplers
1. On vehicles with serial numbers prior to 239999999,
move the remote hydraulic valve handle (Fig. 11) to the
float position and on vehicles with serial numbers
240000001 & up, move the hydraulic lift lever (Fig. 12)

2. On vehicles with serial numbers 240000001 & up,
disconnect the two lift cylinder hoses from the hoses
secured to the coupler bracket (Fig. 13). Insert caps into
cylinder hose quick couplers.
When the remote hydraulic system quick couplers are
connected, hydraulic fluid flows from the topdresser to
the vehicle. If the hydraulic fluid in the topdresser is not
the same or equivalent to vehicle’s, component damage
to transaxle or hydraulic system may result.
Fluid compatibility should be checked and appropriate
action taken, if topdresser is subsequently used in
conjunction with any other product using fluids other
than Dexron III ATF.

Figure 13
1. Lift cylinder hoses
3. Clean any dirt from topdresser quick couplers (Fig. 14)
before connecting. Dirty couplers can introduce
contamination to the system. After cleaning, attach both
quick couplers to the Workman. The hoses are marked
“A” and “B”, match them to the quick couplers when
installing. Assure both quick couplers are full engaged.
Note: Couplers shown in figure 14 are from a vehicle with
a serial numbers prior to 239999999.
Caution
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate skin and do
serious damage. Care must be used when
connecting or disconnecting hydraulic
couplers. Stop engine, apply parking brake
and place remote hydraulic valve in float
detent position to relieve hydraulic pressure
before connecting or disconnecting quick
couplers.
Important Check hydraulic oil level after installation
of T opdresser 1800. Check operation of topdresser, then
recheck hydraulic oil level. Operation of vehicle with low
oil level can damage pump, remote hydraulics, power
steering and vehicle transaxle. Use Dexron III automatic
transmission fluid if needed.
1. Start vehicle engine and test rotation of the conveyor
and brush. Place remote hydraulics lever of Workman in
the “run” position. The rotation should be as shown in
figure 15. If the rotation is backwards the quick
couplers need to be reversed.

Controls
Gate Metering Control
Safe operation begins before taking the vehicle out for a
day’s work. Read and understand the operating instructions
in the Toro Workman operator’s manual before using the
topdresser.
The black knobs on the left rear side of the machine are
used to adjust and lock the gate into the desired open height
position.
1. Loosen the black knob enough to allow it to slide freely
in the slot.
2. Set the gate into the desired position and tighten the
black knob to lock into position.
Rate Scale
Use rate scale to determine desired flow rate. Refer to Sand
Application Rate, page 13.

Warning
The interlock switches are for the operator’s
protection, so do not bypass them. Check
operation of the switches daily to assure
interlock system is operating on the
Workman. If a switch is malfunctioning
replace it before operating. Regardless
whether switches are operating properly or
not, replace them every two years to assure
maximum safety. Do not rely entirely on
safety switches – use common sense!
1. Sit on operator’s seat and engage parking brake.
2. Disengage PTO (if so equipped) and return hand
throttle lever to OFF position (if so equipped).
3. Place the Workman Remote Hydraulic Valve Handle in
the OFF position.
4. Move shift lever to NEUTRAL position and depress
clutch lever.
5. Insert key into ignition switch and rotate it clockwise to
start the engine. Release key when engine starts.

Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Warning
Rotating parts can grab or pinch. Stay clear
of brush and conveyor belt while unit is
running.
6. Practice starting, driving and stopping the Workman.
Always read and understand the operator’s manual for
the Workman before using this unit.
7. Check for smooth operation of belt before adding
material in hopper.
8. Place sand or other topdressing material in the hopper.
The maximum volume of material that can be put into
the hopper is 18 cubic feet. Generally, sand weighs 100
pounds per cubic foot and could overload the Workman
if more than 1400–1500 pounds are loaded into the
hopper.
Important When any other attachments, such as the
H.D. Hitch frame, are installed on the Workman while
using the Topdresser, the weight of those attachments must
be subtracted from the payload capacity of the hopper.
A method for determining the total weight of your
attachments would be to place the rear tires on a scale. The
maximum weight capacity of the rear axle of the
Workman is 2600 pounds.
12
Danger
Warning
As a general rule, position the weight of the
load evenly from front to rear and evenly
from side to side.
Transporting or topdressing with a full load
can cause shifting of the sand. This shifting
happens most often while turning, going up
or down hills, suddenly changing speeds or
while driving over rough surfaces. Shifting
loads can lead to tipovers. Use caution when
transporting or topdressing with a full load.
Heavy loads increase stopping distance and
reduce your ability to turn quickly without
tipping over.
NEVER tilt the Topdresser Bed for
maintenance with any material in the hopper.
Always tilt the topdresser bed with a empty
hopper.
1. Transport to the area to be topdressed.
2. Adjust the metering gate to the desired rate. Lock into
position with the black knob.
3. Move the shift lever into “LO” range position. Select
the desired forward speed and begin moving. Refer to
the following section, Sand Application Rate.
4. On vehicles with serial numbers prior to 239999999,
pull the remote hydraulic lever back to the “RUN”
position and On vehicles with serial numbers
240000001 & up, lock the hydraulic lift lever in the
forward position The unit is now topdressing.
Tipping or rolling the vehicle on a hill will
cause serious injury
If engine stalls or you lose headway on a hill,
never attempt to turn vehicle around.
Always back straight down a hill in reverse
gear.
NEVER back down in neutral or with the
clutch depressed, using only the brakes.
NEVER add sideboards or panels to the top
of the hopper to increase the load capacity.
The additional weight will cause tipping or
rolling of the vehicle and lead to serious
injury.
NEVER drive across a steep hill, always drive
straight up or down. Avoid turning on a hill.
Don’t “drop the clutch” or slam on the
brakes. Sudden speed change can initiate
tipover.
Sand Precautions
The T opdresser 1800 is equipped with a flexible gate edge
(Fig. 17) and spring release mechanism to reduce the
chance of sand chunks or rocks getting lodged during
operation. To insure long belt life, sift or check sand for
rocks with sharp edges that may damage conveyor belt.
Sand Application Rate
The rate of sand applied depends on the gate setting and the
gear/range setting. Sand varies in moisture and coarseness
(size of grain) which effects the rate. These factors must be
taken into consideration when deciding the amount of sand
required for the application. Test a small area to decide the
correct amount. To increase application rate, either open
gate to a higher scale mark or shift Workman to a lower
gear.
Note: On vehicles with serial numbers 240000001 & up,
sand application rate will decrease when vehicle is turned.
Avoid making sharp turns when topdressing
To assure consistent application, from green to green, it is
highly recommended to use a tachometer and/or hand
throttle to maintain constant engine speed while
topdressing.

Cold Weather Operation
The T opdresser 1800 may be used in cold weather, with
certain limitations, to apply a salt/sand mixture on
pavement for ice control. The PVC conveyor belt material
becomes very stiff in cold weather and requires more power
to operate belt. The life of the belt is reduced by
approximately 50% when operated below temperatures of
40 F (5 C). Under no conditions should the topdresser
be operated below temperatures of 20 F (–7 C).
1. Increase belt tension by adjusting spring compression to
4 inches (101 mm). Refer to Adjusting Conveyor Belt,
page 14.
2. Always run belt, before adding material, to assure
moisture has not frozen belt system. Damage to belt or
roller may occur if belt/drive roller slip.
Important Always re–set belt tension to normal
4-7/16 (112 mm) spring compression adjustment before
operating topdresser under normal temperature
conditions.
Lubrication
Greasing Bearings
The T opdresser 1800 has 5 grease fittings that must be
lubricated with a No. 2 Lithium based grease. Lubricate
after every 25 hours of operation.
The grease fitting locations (Fig. 18) and quantities are:
Roller shaft bearings (4) and Brush shaft bearing (1).
Important Lubricate the bearings to maintain a
slight leakage between bearings and housings. Too
much grease can cause overheating.
Maintenance
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Warning
Before servicing or making adjustments to
the machine, stop engine, set parking brake
and remove key from ignition switch. Any
load material must be removed from hopper
before working under raised topdresser.
Always install safety supports on cylinders
before working under raised topdresser.
Brush Adjustment
Brush must make enough contact with conveyor belt to
disperse topdressing material but not restrict the rotation of
the brush. A piece of stiff paper can be inserted between
the conveyor belt and the brush to check the adjustment.
The brush must be the same height from side to side. The
brush adjustment should be checked weekly for wear. The
bristles of the brush will wear under normal conditions and
the distance from the brush to conveyor belt should be
maintained to prevent uneven wear of the brush.
Note: If using moist top dressing materials, brush may have
to be adjusted so bristles will whisk material from between
conveyor belt lugs without severely contacting smooth
portion of belt.
1. Loosen nuts securing bearing housing (Fig. 19) to right
side of machine.
Note: We do not recommend lubricating the drive chain
unless it becomes stiff because of rust. If the chain rusts, it
may be lubricated lightly with a DRY–TYPE
LUBRICANT.

procedure.
Drive Chain Tension
The chain should be tensioned so it deflects 1/8″. Do not
over tighten, this will cause chain wear. Do not operate
with a loose chain, this will cause sprocket wear.
1. Remove chain cover, spacer and finger guard (Fig. 21).

When conveyor belt is adjusted properly, the compressed
length of each compression spring should be 4-7/16″ (112
mm). Adjust conveyor belt as follows:
1. Loosen jam nuts and adjust tension rod (Fig. 23) nuts to
attain desired tension.
