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.
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.
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
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.
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.

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 in. (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 vehicle 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.
Note: Toro will not assume responsibility for damage
caused by improper substitutions, so use only products from reputable manufacturers who will stand behind their recommendation.

any contamination, sludge, water, or condensation appears in the oil. Determine and correct any oil contamination problem before restarting the engine and operating the machine.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Release the hood latches and raise the hood.
3. Remove the dipstick/filler cap and check the oil level on
the dipstick. The fluid level should be up to the FULL mark (Fig. 6).
5. Lower the hood and secure the latches.
Checking the Tire Pressure
The tires are over inflated for shipping. Make sure that the front and rear tires are inflated to 8 to 12 p.s.i. (55 to 83 kPa).
Checking the Accumulator Charge
Have the accumulator charge checked before and after each operating season by an Authorized Toro Distributor.
Warning
Charge accumulators contain high pressure nitrogen. Nitrogen is the only gas to use for accumulator charging. Installing improper gases in an accumulator can cause an explosion and death. Charging requires special tools and precautions.
Charge the accumulator in a well ventilated area.
Have the accumulator checked and charged by an Authorized Toro Distributor.
Wear eye protection.
Keep your hands and face away from the gas
valve.

Warning
Failure to open the bleed valve before servicing high pressure water components can cause
FULL
personal injury, dismemberment, or death.
Slowly open the high pressure water bleed valve before servicing any component connected to the high pressure water system. Opening the high pressure 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.

9. Accumulator pressure lights
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Fig. 7) registers accumulated hours of engine operation. Use the hour meter to determine intervals for service maintenance and lubrication.
Water Pressure Gauge
The water pressure gauge (Fig. 7) registers supply water pressure in the system. It also acts as an interlock switch, preventing the water pump from starting if the water pressure is below 20–28 p.s.i., or stopping the water pump if the water pressure drops below 7–13 p.s.i. Check the gauge frequently to monitor the water pressure.
Circuit Breaker Reset Button
Push the button (Fig. 7) to reset the breaker after correcting a malfunction in the electrical system. The button also serves as a switch to interrupt power to the relays.
Spacing Control Lever
Moving the control (Fig. 7) away from the handle increases the aerating ground speed and the distance between holes. Moving the control toward the handle decreases the aerating ground speed and the distance between holes. The setting will be overridden when the machine is shifted to the transport position.
Choke
To start the engine, close the carburetor choke by pulling the choke control (Fig. 7) outward to the FULL position. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the engine running smoothly. As soon as possible, open the choke by pushing it inward to the OFF position.
Throttle
The throttle (Fig. 7) is used to regulate the engine speed. Moving the throttle forward increases the engine speed (FAST); rearward decreases the engine speed (SLOW).
Accumulator Pressure Lights
The high or low pressure lights (Fig. 7) will only illuminate if a high or low pressure condition occurs in the accumulator. If a light illuminates the system willl not operate or shut down.
Traction Bail
The traction bail (Fig. 8) engages and regulates fore and aft traction operation of the machine. Releasing the bail stops traction operation and will also stop water injection in 3 to 4 seconds, unless the bail is re–engaged. The transport speed is regulated by the amount the bail is moved.
17
Operating Precautions
Follow these precautions when operating the aerator:
Figure 8
1. Traction bail
2. Transport/aerate rocker switch
3. Aeration engagement button
4. Aeration stop button
5. Parking brake
Transport/Aerate Rocker Switch
The switch (Fig. 8) lowers machine onto the rollers to commence aeration. The switch will override the spacing control setting when it is moved to the transport position.
Aeration Engagement Button
Depressing the button (Fig. 8), starts the water injection system only when the water pressure is above 28 p.s.i. and the rollers are on the ground.
Before aerating, inspect the work area for debris and determine the best direction and pattern to operate the machine.
If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, shut the engine off. Remove the wires from the spark plugs to prevent the possibility of accidental starting. Check the machine for damaged parts. Repair any damage before restarting the engine and operating the machine.
Only use the aerator in daylight or when there is good artificial light. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards. Do not transport the machine close to a sand trap, ditch, creek, or other hazard.
To prevent roller marks, always raise the machine to the transport position when parked on a green.
Do not operate the water injection system on concrete or asphalt because water jets will permanently damage these surfaces. Do not run over the hose as damage will occur.
Do not operate the aerator with the roller or injection system over the edge of anything that could be hit, damaged, or injured by high velocity water blasts.
Water jets from the injection system should not damage irrigation heads on one pass of the machine. Do not allow multiple shots from the injection system to hit irrigation heads as damage will occur.
Use a good, clean, quality water supply in the system. If good quality water is not available, additional filtration equipment may be required. Do not use chemicals in
the water system.
Aeration Stop Button
The red button (Fig. 8) stops the water injection system. The system continues for a few seconds after the button is pressed.
Parking Brake
Push the lever (Fig. 8) toward the machine to engage the parking brake. A warning buzzer will sound if you attempt to move the machine with parking brake engaged.
Fuel Shut-Off Valve
The fuel shut-off valve is located under the fuel tank. Close the valve when storing or transporting (trailering) the machine.
Do not allow the machine to be subject to freezing temperatures without draining, as damage to the system will occur.
Starting and Stopping the Engine
1. Make sure that the wires are installed on the spark plugs and the fuel shut-off valve is open.
2. Make sure that the parking brake is engaged.
3. Pull the choke lever out to the FULL position and move
the throttle lever to the half throttle position.
Note: When starting a warm engine, the choke may not be necessary, but HALF throttle is.
18
4. Insert the key into the ignition switch and rotate it clockwise to start the engine. Release the key when the engine starts. Gradually return the choke lever to the OFF position (lever all the way in) after the engine starts and warms up.
Important To prevent overheating of the starter motor,
do not engage the starter longer than 30 seconds. After 30 seconds of continuous cranking, wait 2 minutes before engaging the starter motor again.
Important The engine is equipped with an oil pressure
interlock switch which interrupts the engine operation if there is not sufficient oil pressure in the engine during starting or operation. The engine may start but will not continue to run due to a lack of oil pressure.
Figure 9
1. Hose adapter 2. Quick coupler
5. To stop the engine, move the throttle control downward to the SLOW position and turn the ignition key to OFF. Remove the ignition key.
Training Period
Before aerating with the machine, it is suggested that you find a clear area and practice starting and stopping, raising and lowering machine, turning, etc. This training period will be beneficial to the operator in gaining confidence in the performance of the aerator.
Water Supply
Recommended source with 7–8 gallons per minute. A minimum pressure of 30 p.s.i. at the machine is required for the pump to engage. Maximum allowable pressure of 200 psi. Although irrigation water pumped from ponds or effluent holding pools can be used, not all conditions can be handled by the filtration system. Additional or alternative filtration may be required.
Operating Procedure
4. Turn on the water supply and check the water pressure. The water pressure must be at least 30 p.s.i.. If the system pressure is not 30 p.s.i., make sure that the hose is not kinked or obstructed, the water supply is turned on, and the water filter is not plugged.
Caution
Do not operate the engine while bleeding the filter head.
5. Reach under the fuel tank and press the bleed button on
top of the water filter head (Fig. 10). Hold the bleed button down until all air is purged from the filter and water comes out of the opening.
1. Make sure that the wires are installed on the spark plugs and the fuel shut-off valve is open.
2. Uncoil a garden hose, making sure that there are no kinks or bends in the hose. Lay out the hose so that there are no obstructions between the machine and the area to be aerated. Turn on the water supply to purge any air from the hose. Turn off the water.
3. Connect the hose adapter (Fig. 9) to the garden hose, then connect the adapter to the quick coupler on the side of the machine.
Figure 10
1. Main water filter head 2. Bleed button
19
6. Reach under the hood and open the bleed valve on the main valve at the rear of the machine (Fig. 11). Bleed the system until a steady flow of water comes from the outlet; then close the valve.
Figure 11
1. Main valve 2. Bleed valve
10. Engage and hold the transport/aerate toggle switch to fully lower the machine onto the rollers. Release the switch when the machine is fully lowered; then press the engagement button to start water injection.
Note: The injection operation starts approximately 4–5 seconds after the pump engages. Also, the injection system will automatically stop if the traction bail is not engaged within 3–4 seconds after starting the water system.
11. When aerating, work moving perpendicular from the water supply to avoid running over the garden hose. Use the front edge of the hood or rear corner of the frame to align rows, if desired. When at the end of a row, make an “S” maneuver and reverse the direction of the aerator. Do not make sharp turns on a green or scuffing from the tire may occur.
12. Regulate the roller spray wash, if required, to remove debris from the rollers.
Note: A small amount of water from the regulator bypass may come out of the spray wash nozzles even with the spray wash in the “OFF” position.
13. In areas where greater hole depth or more frequent holes are desired, the engage button can be held down to allow multiple shots while machine is stopped.
7. If desired, the valve on the pre-filter (Fig. 12) may be opened slightly (cracked) to provide continuous flushing during operation of the machine.
Figure 12
1. Pre-filter 2. Valve
8. Start the engine; refer to Starting and Stopping the Engine, page 18. Move the throttle to the FAST position and disengage the parking brake.
9. Engage the traction bail and approach the area to be aerated. Make sure that there are no obstructions between the aerator and water supply.
Important Hole depths can reach 20 inches or more
when making multiple shots, so be aware of what is buried below the turf. Also, an excessive amount of holes and muddy turf conditions may occur when making multiple shots.
14. To stop water injection, press the red button. The system continues for a few seconds after the button is pressed. Raise the machine to the transport position, disconnect the supply hose, and move to the next location.
Checking the Interlock System
Caution
If safety interlock switches are disconnected or damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly, causing personal injury.
Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
Check the operation of the interlock switches
daily and replace any damaged switches before operating the machine.
The purpose of the safety interlock system is to prevent the engine from cranking or starting unless the traction bail is in NEUTRAL and prevents the water system from engaging if the machine is in the transport (raised) position. It also stops aeration if the traction bail is released while operating or if the machine is raised to the transport position.
20
To do a functional check of interlock system:
1. Position the machine in a flat, open area on rough turf and away from buried wires, plumbing, etc. Stop the engine.
2. Move the traction bail up and down while trying to start the engine. If the engine cranks, there is a malfunction in the interlock system that must be corrected. If the engine does not crank, proceed to step 3.
3. Connect the water supply to the machine. Turn on the water supply and bleed all air out of the system. The water pressure must be 30 psi or more. Start the engine. Raise the machine to the transport position (up off the rollers). Push the aerate ENGAGE button. If the water pump engages and the machine begins aerating, there is a malfunction in the interlock system that must be corrected. If the machine does not begin aerating, proceed to step 4.
4. Lower the machine to the aerate position (on the rollers). Engage the traction bail to start the machine moving. Push, then release the aerate ENGAGE button. The water pump should engage immediately, then the machine should begin aerating 5 seconds after the pump engages. Release the traction bail to the neutral position so that the machine stops moving. The water pump should disengage 4 seconds after the traction bail returns to neutral, then stop aerating after another 3 seconds. If the machine does not stop aerating when the traction bail returns to neutral, there is a malfunction in the interlock system that must be corrected. If the machine stops aerating, proceed to step 5.
5. Engage the traction bail to start the machine moving, then push the aerate ENGAGE button to begin aerating. Push the aerate DISENGAGE button. The water pump should disengage immediately, then stop aerating after 3 seconds. If the machine does not stop aerating, there is a malfunction in the interlock system that must be corrected.
Note: Lights (LED’s) on the controller (Fig. 13) indicate when the following inputs are made to the controller:
Red: Transport switch closed (traction bail in neutral)
Green: Aerate start (engage) switch closed. If the red
and yellow lights are on, the green light will stay on until either the red or yellow goes off.
Yellow: Pump start limit switch closed (machine lowered to aerate position) and water pressure switch closed (water pressure of more than 30 psi) and accumulator charge pressure switch (nitrogen pressure more than 1800 psi).
Figure 13
1. Red light
2. Green light
3. Yellow light
Transport Operation
Use the traction bail to slow the machine while crossing undulating terrain to avoid loss of control. The smooth tires do not grip turf very well so use caution when transporting the machine. Always approach rough areas at a reduced speed and cross severe undulations carefully.
Inspection and Clean-Up After Use
At the completion of operation, thoroughly wash the machine with a garden hose without a nozzle so excessive water pressure will not cause contamination and damage to seals and bearings. After cleaning, it is recommended the machine be inspected for possible hydraulic fluid or water leaks and damage or wear to hydraulic, water, and mechanical components.
Pushing or Towing the Machine
In an emergency, the machine can be pushed or towed for a very short distance. However, we do not recommend this as standard procedure.
Important Do not push or the tow machine faster than
3 MPH because pump damage may occur. If the machine must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer or pull it with the traction wheel raised and secured to a dolly (Optional Hydrotote Trailer, Model 09833 available). Whenever the machine is pushed or towed, the bypass valve must be opened. The hook on the front of the handle is used as a tie-down only, not a hitch point.
1. Unlatch and raise the hood.
2. Locate the bypass valve cap on the left side of the
hydraulic pump (Fig. 14).
3. Rotate the valve cap counterclockwise, move the machine to the desired location, and close the valve cap.
4. Lower the hood and secure the latches.
21
Important Do not use chemicals! Concern for
environmental issues and corrosive affects on machine components.

Replacing the Main Water Filter
The machine is a precision piece of equipment and the quality or cleanliness of your water supply is very important in determining the life of the machine. If your water supply contains silt, sand, or other debris, you may be required to install additional filtration or separation equipment between your supply source and the machine. Depending on the quality of water, the frequency of the filter change will vary greatly. When the pump inlet pressure decreases or the water system shuts down, it usually means the water filter is restricted and must be replaced. Never operate machine without a water filter
as severe damage may occur.
1. Position the machine on a level surface and make sure
that the engine is shut off. Shut off the water supply.
2. Locate the main water filter assembly mounted below the fuel tank. Press the bleed button (Fig. 19) to release air pressure from the filter body.
Figure 19
1. Filter body
2. Filter cartridge
3. Filter head
3. Unscrew the filter body of the assembly (Fig. 19) counterclockwise (as viewed from the bottom). Remove the filter cartridge and discard it.
Note: To ease the removal of the filter body from the filter head, a filter wrench is available. Contact your Authorized Toro Distributor.
4. Bleed button
5. O-ring
Caution
The water filter body is very heavy when filled with water and the filter. Use caution when unscrewing the filter body from the filter head.
4. Thoroughly rinse out the filter body to avoid
contaminating the water system. Make sure that the o-ring (Fig. 19) is in the groove. If it has come out, wipe it dry, lubricate it with a light coating of petroleum jelly, and replace it in the groove.
5. Thoroughly clean the filter head mounting surface to avoid contaminating the water system when the filter is installed.
6. Insert the new filter cartridge into the filter body.
7. Thread the filter body with the filter onto the filter head.
Hand tighten them.
8. Turn on the water supply and press the bleed button on the top of the water filter head (Fig. 19). Hold the bleed button down until all air is purged from the filter and water comes out of the opening.
26
Changing the Engine Oil and Filter
For new engines, change the oil after the first 50 operating hours. Thereafter, under normal conditions, change the oil and the filter after every 100 hours of operation. However, an engine operated in dusty or dirty conditions requires more frequent oil changes. If possible, run the engine just before changing the oil. Warm oil flows more freely and carries more contaminants than cold oil.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Disengage the hood latches and open the hood.
3. Place an oil drain pan below the drain hose on the side
of the crankcase (Fig. 20).
4. Rotate the drain valve counter–clockwise and allow the oil to flow into a drain pan. After the oil has drained, rotate the oil drain valve clockwise.
Figure 21
1. Dipstick 2. Filler cap
5. Remove the oil filter (Fig. 20) and discard it. Thoroughly clean the filter mounting surface and make sure that a new gasket is installed in the new filter.
Figure 20
1. Oil drain valve 2. Oil filter
6. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the gasket. Install a new filter by hand until the gasket just touches the mounting surface, then turn the filter an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn.
7. Remove the filler cap (Fig. 21) and pour approximately 2 quarts of oil into the filler neck.
8. Start the engine and check for leaks around the oil filter. Tighten the filter only enough to eliminate leaks. Do
not overtighten.
9. Turn off the engine and allow the machine to stand for 2
minutes.
10. Check the oil and make sure that the level is up to the FULL mark on the dipstick. Add more oil if the level is low; however, do not overfill.
11. Lower the hood and secure the latches.
General Air Cleaner Maintenance
Check the air cleaner body for damage which could cause an air leak. Replace if damaged. Check the whole intake system for leaks, damage or loose hose clamps.
Service the air cleaner filter every 200 hours or earlier if engine performance suffers due to extremely dusty, dirty conditions. Changing the air filter before it is necessary only increases the chance of dirt entering the engine when the filter is removed.
Be sure the cover is seated correctly and seals with the air cleaner body.
Servicing the Air Cleaner
The primary air cleaner element must be checked and/or replaced after every 200 hours of engine operation. However, the air cleaner must be cleaned more frequently if operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
27
1. Release the latches and securing the air cleaner cover to the air cleaner body (Fig. 22).
3. Remove and replace the primary filter. Cleaning of the used element is not recommended due to the possibility of damage to the filter media. Inspect the new filter for shipping damage, checking the sealing end of the filter and the body. Do not use a damaged element.
Figure 22
1. Air cleaner cover 2. Latch
2. Remove the cover from the air cleaner body. Before removing the filter, use low pressure air (40 psi, clean and dry) to help remove large accumulations of debris packed between outside of primary filter and the canister. Avoid using high pressure air which could force dirt through the filter into the intake tract. This cleaning process prevents debris from migrating into the intake when the primary filter is removed.
4. Inspect the safety element and replace it if is dirty or damaged.
Figure 24
1. Safety element
Important Do not wash the safety element or clean it
with compressed air as damage will occur.
5. Insert the new filter by applying pressure to the outer rim of the element to seat it in the canister. Do not apply pressure to the flexible center of the filter.
1. Primary element
Figure 23
6. Clean the dirt ejection port located in the removable cover. Remove the rubber outlet valve from the cover, clean the cavity and replace the outlet valve.
7. Install the cover orienting the rubber outlet valve in a downward position – between approximately 5:00 to 7:00 when viewed from the end.
8. Install the air cleaner and secure the latches.
Checking and Replacing the Spark Plugs
Since the air gap between the center and side electrodes increases gradually during normal engine operation, check the spark plugs at 200 hour intervals and replace as required. The correct spark plug to use in the engine is a Champion RC12 YC or equivalent. Set the air gap at .040 in.
1. Disengage the hood latches and open the hood.
28
2. Clean the area around the spark plugs (Fig. 25) so that dirt does not fall into the cylinder when the plugs are removed.
Figure 25
1. Spark plug
Important The gear case oil and filter must be changed
immediately when any contamination, sludge, water or condensation appears.
1. Disengage the hood latches and open the hood.
2. Place a drain pan under the bottom of the gear case.
Clean the area around the drain plug (Fig. 26).
Note: When draining the oil, use a funnel or some type of channel to divert the draining oil away from the machine components and into a drain pan.
3. Pull the wires off of the spark plugs and remove the plugs from the cylinder head.
4. Check the condition of the center and side electrodes to determine the operating temperature of the engine.
Light brown insulator tip indicates correct spark plug and heat range.
Black or oily insulator tip indicates an excessively rich fuel mixture, possibly caused by a dirty air cleaner element or a carburetor that is set too rich.
Light gray or blistered-white insulator indicates overheating caused by a lean carburetor setting or incorrect spark plug (heat range too high).
Important A cracked, fouled, or dirty spark plug must
be replaced. Do not sandblast, scrape, or clean the electrodes by using a wire brush because grit may release from the plug and enter the combustion chamber, resulting in engine damage.
5. After setting the air gap at .040 in., install the spark plugs in the cylinder head. Tighten the plugs to 18–22 ft.-lb. (24–30 Nm). Push the wires onto the spark plugs.
6. Lower the hood and secure the latches.
Figure 26

Important The pump case oil must be changed
immediately when any contamination, sludge, water or condensation appears.
1. Disengage the hood latches and open the hood.
2. Place a drain pan under the pump case. Clean the area
around the drain plug on the bottom of the case (Fig. 28).
Note: When draining the oil, use a funnel or some type of channel to divert the draining oil away from the machine components and into a drain pan.
3. Remove the drain plug and allow oil to flow into a drain pan. After the oil has drained, install the oil drain plug.
4. Remove the dipstick/filler cap and add approximately 40 ounces of Mobil DTE Extra Heavy oil or equivalent to the pump case. Install the filler cap.
Check the hydraulic lines and hoses daily for leaks, kinked lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings, weather deterioration, and chemical deterioration. Make all necessary repairs before operating.
Warning
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury.
Make sure all hydraulic fluid hoses and lines are in good condition and all hydraulic connections and fittings are tight before applying pressure to the hydraulic system.
Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid.

Servicing the Spray Wash Nozzles or Strainers
To clean or replace the strainers in the spray wash nozzles, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen and remove the cap on the bottom of the fitting (Fig. 36).
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.
If the machine will be stored more than 30 days, remove the battery and place it on trickle charge. Either store it on the shelf or on the machine. Leave the cables disconnected if it is stored on the machine. Store the battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the charge in the battery.
2. Remove the nozzle and strainer assembly (Fig. 36). Clean or replace the strainer and replace it in the nozzle.
3. Loosely secure the nozzle and strainer to the fitting with the cap.
4. Rotate the nozzle so that slot in the tip is parallel to the roller.
5. Tighten the cap and check the adjustment.
Caring for the Battery
If the aerator is stored in a location where temperatures are extremely high, the battery will run down more rapidly than if the machine is stored in a location where temperatures are cool.
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it periodically with a brush dipped in ammonia or bicarbonate of soda solution. Flush the top surface with water after cleaning. Do not remove the fill caps while cleaning.
The battery cables must be tight on the terminals to provide good electrical contact.
If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the cables, negative (–) cable first, and scrape the clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect the cables, positive cable first, and coat the terminals with petroleum jelly.

Seasonal Storage
Preparing the Engine
1. Drain the engine oil from the crankcase.
Preparing the Water System
Important It is very important that the water system be
drained to avoid freezing and damaging the components.
Drain system as follows:
1. Stop the engine, remove the key from the ignition switch, and remove the wires from the spark plugs.
2. Remove the 2 screws securing the drive shield to the frame and remove the shield.
3. With the engine “OFF” and the key removed from ignition, rotate the drive coupling by hand until resistance is felt. Continue to rotate the coupling about 1/4 revolution, opening the cycling valve.
4. Using the appropriate reducers (National Pipe thread), connect a source of compressed air (maximum pressure 150 psi; minimum pressure 90 psi) to the water inlets on either side of the machine.
Danger
Compressed air can penetrate the skin and cause physical harm.
Use extreme caution and wear protective goggles and gloves when working with high pressure air.
Get prompt medical attention if an injury occurs.
5. Let compressed air flow through the machine for 3
minutes. While compressed air is flowing, temporarily open the spray wash and high pressure drain valve, purging water from the spray wash and high pressure system.
2. Remove and discard the oil filter. Install a new filter.
3. Refill the engine with 2 qts. of recommended motor oil.
4. Start the engine and run it at idle speed for two minutes.
Do not run it for longer than two minutes.
5. Stop the engine; remove the spark plugs.
6. Pour one ounce of clean engine oil into the spark plug
holes.
7. With the spark plugs removed, crank the engine with the starter for a least 12 revolutions to distribute oil in the cylinders.
8. Install the spark plugs.
9. Drain the gasoline from the fuel tank and fuel lines.
Reinstall all lines and secure all connections.
10. Thoroughly clean and service the air cleaner.
11. Check the oil filler cap and fuel tank cap to ensure that
they are securely in place.
Preparing the Traction Unit
1. Thoroughly clean the machine.
2. Grease or oil all fittings and pivot points.
3. Check to make sure that all tires are over-inflated to
20–30 p.s.i.
4. Lightly sand and use touch up paint on all areas that are scratched, chipped, or rusted.
5. Drain and replace the hydraulic oil and filter on the cam gear case.
6. Drain and replace the oil in the water pump case.
6. Disconnect compressed air and reducers. Install the
drive shield previously removed and tighten the relief valve tube.
7. Remove and drain the water filter container. Install a new filter and replace the filter container.
