Safe Operating Practices
The following instructions are from ANSI standard
B71.4—2004.
Training
• Read the Operator’s Manual and other training material.
If the operator(s) or mechanic(s) can not read English it
is the owner’s responsibility to explain this material to
them.
• Become familiar with the safe operation of the
equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.
• All operators and mechanics should be trained. The
owner is responsible for training the users.
• Never let children or untrained people operate or
service the equipment. Local regulations may restrict
the age of the operator.
• The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for
accidents or injuries occurring to himself or herself,
other people or property.
This manual identifies potential hazards and has special
safety messages that help you and others avoid personal
injury and even death. Danger, Warning, and Caution are
signal words used to identify the level of hazard. However,
regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful.
Danger signals an extreme hazard that will cause serious
injury or death if you do not follow the recommended
precautions.
Warning signals a hazard that may cause serious injury or
death if you do not follow the recommended precautions.
Caution signals a hazard that may cause minor or moderate
injury if you do not follow the recommended precautions.
This manual uses two other words to highlight information.
Important calls attention to special mechanical
information and Note: emphasizes general information
worthy of special attention.
Safety
Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner
can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury,
comply with these safety instructions and always pay
attention to the safety alert
CAUTION, WARNING, or DANGER—“personal
safety instruction.” Failure to comply with the
instruction may result in personal injury or death.
symbol, which means
Preparation
• Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and
attachments are needed to properly and safely perform
the job. Only use accessories and attachments approved
by the manufacturer.
• Wear appropriate clothing including hard hat, safety
glasses and hearing protection. Long hair, loose
clothing or jewelry may get tangled in moving parts.
• Inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and
remove all objects such as rocks, toys and wire which
can be contacted by the aerator.
• Use extra care when handling gasoline and other fuels.
They are flammable and vapors are explosive.
• Use only an approved container
• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with engine
running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
Do not smoke.
• Never refuel or drain the aerator indoors.
• Check that operator’s presence controls, safety switches
and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do
not operate unless they are functioning properly.
Operation
• Never run an engine in an enclosed area.
• Only operate in good light, keeping away from holes
and hidden hazards.
3
• Be sure all drives are in neutral and parking brake is
engaged before starting engine. Start the engine only
from the operator’s position.
• Never operate without the shields, covers or other
guards securely in place. Be sure all interlocks are
functioning properly.
• Keep hands and feet away from the nozzle and roller
area. High velocity water jets can penetrate hands and
feet. Penetration by the high velocity water jets can
cause serious personal injury. If accidental penetration
occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
• Never use chemicals in the water supply system.
• Do not operate the water injection system on concrete
or asphalt because water jets will permanently damage
these surfaces.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
water system, all pressure in the system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and opening the bleed
valve. Opening the bleed valve allows any trapped
water to escape from the system and also allows the
accumulator piston to move to the bottom of the
accumulator cylinder.
• Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed
the engine.
• The accumulator in this machine contains high pressure
dry nitrogen. Accumulator servicing requires special
tools and precautions. Accumulators do not contain user
serviceable components. Improper accumulator
servicing can cause dismemberment or death. Do not
attempt to disassemble an accumulator; have this work
done by an Authorized Toro Distributor.
• Stop on level ground, disengage drives, engage parking
brake, shut off engine before leaving the operator’s
position for any reason.
• Never carry passengers and keep pets and bystanders
away.
• Be alert, slow down and use caution when making
turns. Look behind and to the side before changing
directions.
• Slow down and use caution when crossing roads and
sidewalks.
• Do not operate the aerator under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
• Use extreme care when loading or unloading the aerator
into a trailer or truck.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees,
or other objects that may obscure vision.
Slope Operation
• Do not operate near drop–offs, ditches, steep banks or
water. Wheels or rollers dropping over edges can cause
rollovers, which may result in serious injury or death.
• Do not operate on slopes when grass is wet. Slippery
conditions reduce traction and could cause sliding and
loss of control.
• Do not make sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
• Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs,
etc. from the operating area. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
• Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that
change the operating angle, as rough terrain could
overturn the aerator.
• Be aware that loss of traction may occur going
downhill. Weight transfer may cause drive wheel to slip
and cause loss of braking and steering.
• Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope. If
tire loses traction, disengage the water injection system
and proceed slowly off the slope.
Maintenance and storage
Warning
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.
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search for
leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury. Seek immediate medical attention if fluid is
injected into skin.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the deck
and attachments to the ground.
• Let engine cool before storing and do not store near
flame.
• Shut off fuel while storing or transporting on trailers.
Do not store fuel near flames or drain indoors.
4
• Park machine on level, hard ground. Never allow
untrained personnel to service machine.
• Use only Toro-approved attachments. Warranty may be
voided if used with unapproved attachments.
• Use jack stands or safety latches to support components
when required.
• Carefully release pressure from components with stored
energy.
• Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire before
making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal
first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and
negative last.
• Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If
possible, do not make adjustments with the engine
running.
• Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away
from spark and flames. Unplug charger before
connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear
protective clothing and use insulated tools.
• Keep all parts in good working condition and all
hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged
decals.

Before Operating
Activating and Charging the
Battery
Warning
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer
and reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
1. Since the battery is not filled with electrolyte or
activated, bulk electrolyte with 1.260 specific gravity
must be purchased from a local battery supply outlet.
Danger
1
Figure 2
1. Battery
4. Replace the filler caps and connect a 3 to 4 amp battery
charger to the battery posts. Charge the battery at a rate
of 3 to 4 amperes for 4 to 8 hours.
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a
deadly poison and causes severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
2. Release the hood latches and raise the hood.
3. Loosen the capscrew securing the battery clamp to the
machine and remove the battery (Fig. 2). Remove the
filler caps from the battery and slowly fill each cell until
electrolyte is just above the plates.
Warning
Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal aerator components causing sparks.
Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode,
resulting in personal injury.
• When removing or installing the battery, do not
allow the battery terminals to touch any metal
parts of the aerator.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between the
battery terminals and metal parts of the aerator.
Warning
Charging the battery produces gasses that can
explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and
flames away from battery.
5. When the battery is charged, disconnect the charger
from the electrical outlet and battery posts.
6. Remove the filler caps. Slowly add electrolyte to each
cell until the level is up to the fill ring. Install the filler
caps.
Important Do not overfill the battery. Electrolyte will
overflow onto other parts of the machine and severe
corrosion and deterioration will result.
7. Install the battery and secure it with the battery clamp.
Warning
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the
aerator and cables causing sparks. Sparks can
cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in
personal injury.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) battery
cable before disconnecting the positive (red)
cable.
• Always connect the positive (red) battery cable
before connecting the negative (black) cable.
13
8. Install the positive cable (rubber boot over end) to the
positive (+) terminal and the negative cable (black) to
the negative (–) terminal of the battery and secure them
with capscrews and nuts. Slide the rubber boot over the
positive terminal to prevent a possible short-out from
occurring (Fig. 2).
9. Lower the hood and secure the latches.
Checking the Engine Oil
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however,
the oil level must be checked before and after the engine is
first started.
Crankcase capacity is approximately 2 qt. (1.4 l) with the
filter.
Use high-quality engine oil that meets the following
specifications:
API Classification Level Required: SJ, SK, SL or
higher.
Note: If the oil level is at the ADD mark on the dipstick,
add 1 quart of oil to raise the oil level to FULL. Do not
overfill.
3. Remove the cap from the oil fill. Pour oil into the oil fill
until the level is at the FULL mark on the dipstick.
Important The aerator operates at very high engine
loads, so check the oil level every 8 operating hours or
daily. A new engine may consume some oil until it is
broken in. Initially, change the oil after the first 25 hours of
operation; thereafter, under normal conditions, change the
oil and filter after every 100 hours of operation. Change the
oil more frequently when the engine is operated in
extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
Filling the Gas Tank
We recommend the use of fresh, clean, unleaded regular
grade gasoline. Unleaded gasoline burns cleaner, extends
engine life, and promotes good starting by reducing the
build-up of combustion chamber deposits.
Preferred oil: SAE 10W–30 (above 0_F)
Alternate oil: SAE 5W–30 (below 32_F)
Toro Premium Engine oil is available from your distributor
in 10W–30 viscosity. See the parts catalog for part
numbers.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick from the oil filler neck (Fig. 3) and
wipe it with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into the filler
neck and make sure it is seated fully. Pull the dipstick
from the filler neck and check the oil level. If the oil
level is low, add enough oil to raise the level to the
FULL mark on the dipstick.
1
2
Note: Do not mix oil with the gasoline. Never use
methanol, gasoline containing methanol, gasohol, gasoline
additives, premium gasoline, or white gas because engine
and fuel system damage could result.
1. Remove the cap from the fuel tank (Fig. 4) and fill the
10 gallon tank to about 1 inch (25 mm) from the top of
tank (the bottom of the filler neck) with unleaded
gasoline. Install the fuel tank cap tightly.
