FOREWORD
You have purchased a vehicle from the industry leader in maintenance excellence. Its future performance
and dependability are of prime importance. TORO is also concerned about future use of the vehicle and
of safety to the user. Therefore, this manual must be read by you and those involved with the MULTI
®
PRO
5500 to assure that safety, proper set-up, operation, and maintenance procedures are followed at
all times. The major sections of the manual are:
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Safety, mechanical, and some general information in this manual are emphasized. DANGER, WARNING,
and CAUTION identify safety messages. Whenever the triangle safety symbol appears, it is followed by
a safety message that must be read and understood. For more details concerning safety, read the safety
instructions on pages 4 through 6. IMPORTANT identifies special mechanical information and NOTE
identifies general information worthy of special attention.
OPTIONAL SPARK ARRESTER

5500 Turf Sprayer was
designed and tested to offer safe service when
operated and maintained properly. Although
hazard control and accident prevention partially
are dependent upon the design and
configuration of the vehicle, these factors are
also dependent upon the awareness, concern,
and proper training of the personnel involved
in the operation, maintenance, and storage of
the vehicle. Improper use or maintenance of
the vehicle can result in injury or death.
This is a specialized Turf Sprayer designed for
off road use. Its ride and handling will have a
different feel than what drivers experience with
passenger cars or trucks. So take time to
become familiar with your MULTI PRO
®
5500.
The attachments that adapt to the MULTI PRO
5500 are not covered in this manual. See the
specific Operator's Manual provided with the
attachment for additional safety instructions.

familiar with this form of injury, or gangrene may
result.
28. Before disconnecting or performing any work
on the hydraulic system, all pressure in the system
must be relieved by stopping the engine.
29. If major repairs are ever needed or assistance
is required, contact an Authorized TORO
Distributor.
30. Disconnect battery before servicing the
vehicle. If battery voltage is required for
troubleshooting, temporarily connect the battery.
31. If the engine must be running to perform
maintenance, or an adjustment, keep hands, feet,
clothing, and any parts of the body away from the
engine and any moving parts. Keep everyone
away.
32. Do not over-speed engine by changing
Governor settings. Maximum engine speed is
3200 no-load rpm. To assure safety and accuracy,
have an Authorized TORO Distributor check
maximum engine speed with a tachometer.
33. Shut engine off before checking or adding oil
to the crankcase.
34. To assure optimum performance and
continued safety of the vehicle, always use
genuine TORO replacement parts and
accessories. Replacement parts and accessories

SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
BATTERY SERVICE:
CAUTION
Electrolyte gases are explosive and can
cause serious injury to eyes, lungs, and
skin. Nausea may result if the gases are
inhaled.
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves
when working with electrolyte or battery.
Charge the Battery in a well ventilated
place so gases produced while charging
can dissipate.
Unplug charger from electrical outlet
before connecting to or disconnecting
charger leads from battery posts.
Since the gases are explosive, keep open
flames and electrical spark away from the
battery; DO NOT SMOKE!
The Battery has been filled with electrolyte and
charged at the factory. However, prior to actual
operation, it may be necessary to bring the Battery
to a full charge as follows:
1.First disconnect the black negative (-) cable,
then disconnect the red positive (+) cable.
2.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.
3.When Battery is charged, disconnect the
charger from electrical outlet and battery posts.
IMPORTANT! If optional electric powered
equipment is to be installed on the MULTI PRO
5500, DO NOT connect the battery cables until
all wiring harness connections for the optional
equipment have been completed. If
accidentally grounded, the lead to the battery
terminal will burn the accessory's wiring
harness. After the accessory's wiring harness
has been connected, proceed as follows:
4.Connect the red positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) post on the battery first, then connect
the black negative (-) cable to the negative (-)
post on the battery. Secure with cap screws and
nuts. Slide the rubber boot over the positive
terminal to prevent short-out from occurring.
WARNING
Connecting cables to the wrong post
could cause the battery to explode,
resulting in personal injury and damage
to the electrical system.

DANGER
Because gasoline is flammable, caution
must be used when storing or handling
it. Do not fill fuel tank while engine is
running, hot, or when vehicle is in an
enclosed area. Vapors may build up and
be ignited by a spark or flame source
many feet away. DO NOT SMOKE while
filling the fuel tank to prevent the
possibility of an explosion. Always fill fuel
tank outside and wipe up any spilled
gasoline before starting the engine. Use
a funnel or spout to prevent spilling
gasoline, and fill tank no higher than one
inch below top of tank, (bottom of filler
neck). DO NOT OVER FILL. Store
gasoline in a clean safety approved
container and keep the cap on the
container. Keep gasoline in a cool, well
ventilated place; never in an enclosed
area such as a hot storage shed. To
assure volatility, do not buy more than a
30 day supply of gasoline. Gasoline is a
fuel for internal combustion engines;
therefore do not use it for any other
purpose. Since many children like the
smell of gas, keep it out of their reach
because the fumes are explosive and
dangerous to inhale.
IMPORTANT! NEVER USE METHANOL,
GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL,
GASOLINE CONTAINING MORE THAN 10%
ETHANOL, GASOLINE ADDITIVES, OR WHITE
GAS. ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD
RESULT.
1.Clean area around fuel tank cap.
2.Remove fuel tank cap.
3.Fill tank to about one inch below top of tank
(bottom of filler neck). DO NOT OVERFILL. Then
install cap.
4.Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to
prevent a fire hazard.

CHECK EMERGENCY/PARK BRAKE
Adjust the Emergency/Park Brake when there is
more than 1 inch of "free travel" of the Brake Pedal,
or if the Brake does not work effectively. "Free
travel" is the distance the Brake Pedal moves
before braking resistance is felt. To reduce "free
travel" of brake pedal see the MAINTENANCE
section on "ADJUSTING BRAKES".
DANGER
Operating the vehicle with worn or poorly
adjusted brakes can result in serious
injury or death.
If Brake Pedal travels to within 1 inch of
the Vehicle floor board, the brakes must
be adjusted or repaired.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-STARTING CHECKS
Safe operation begins before taking the vehicle
out for a day's work. You should check these items
each time:
1.Check tire pressure. (See page 19)
NOTE: These tires are different than car tires,
they require less pressure to minimize turf
compaction and damage.
2.Check all fluid levels and add the appropriate
amount of TORO specified fluids if any are found
to be low.
3.Check Brake Pedal operation.
4.Check to see that the lights are working.
5.Check for oil leaks, loose parts, or any other
noticeable malfunctions. Make sure engine is off
and all moving parts have stopped before
checking for oil leaks, loose parts, and any other
malfunctions.
If any of the above items are not correct, notify
your mechanic or check with your supervisor
before taking the vehicle out for the day. Your
supervisor may want you to check other items on
a daily basis, so ask what your responsibilities are.
IMPORTANT! Do not hold Key in starting
position longer than 10 seconds at one time. If
the engine does not start, wait at least 60
seconds before attempting to start again.
Continuous cranking will burn out the Starter
motor. If the engine develops sufficient speed
to disengage the Starter, but fails to continue
running, the engine must come to a complete
stop before attempting to restart the engine. If
the Starter is engaged while the Flywheel is still
rotating, the Starter Pinion and Flywheel ring
gear may clash, resulting in damage to the
Starter. If the Starter does not turn the engine
over, shut off the engine immediately and do
not attempt to start the engine until the
condition has been corrected. Do not "jumpstart" using another, larger battery.
NOTE: Starter motors are pre-lubricated.
Brushes normally require servicing only after
extended use.
6.Gradually push the choke in to the OFF
position after the engine is running.
7.Turn Steering Wheel to the left and right to
check steering response.
8.Position the Throttle Lever at the desired
engine RPM.
Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless
and can cause death if inhaled.
Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes and never
run the engine in a closed building or
confined area.
1.Sit on Operator's Seat and engage Parking
Brake.
2.Make sure Traction Pedal is in NEUTRAL
position.
3.Make sure Spray System is in the "OFF"

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
The vehicle is designed with safety in mind. It has
four wheels for added stability. It is important to
remember, however, that this vehicle is not a
passenger car. It is a Turf Sprayer and is not
designed for use on roadways.
The vehicle has special tires, a hydraulic traction
pedal, and other features that give it extra
gradeability. These features add to the versatility
of the vehicle but, they can also get you into
dangerous situations. You must keep in mind that
the vehicle is not a recreation vehicle. It is not an
all terrain vehicle. And, it is definitely not meant
for "stunt driving" or "horsing around". It is a Turf
Sprayer, not a play vehicle. Children should not
be allowed to operate the vehicle, or ride as a
passenger on the vehicle. Anyone who operates
the vehicle should have a motor vehicle license.
If you are not experienced at driving the vehicle,
practice driving in a safe area away from other
people. Be sure you are familiar with all the vehicle
controls, particularly those used for braking,
steering, and shifting. Learn how your vehicle
handles on different surfaces. Your operating skills
will improve with experience, but as with operating
any vehicle, take it easy as you begin. Be sure
you know how to stop quickly in an emergency. If
you need help ask your supervisor for assistance.
Many factors contribute to accidents. You have
control over several of the most important. Your
actions, such as driving too fast, turning too
sharply, and combinations of these, are frequent
causes of accidents.
One of the major causes of accidents is fatigue.
Be sure to take occasional breaks. It is very
important that you stay alert at all times.
Avoid driving when it is dark, especially in
unfamiliar areas. If you must drive when it's dark,
be sure to drive cautiously, use the headlights.
PASSENGERS
The MULTI PRO® 5500 Turf Sprayer comes
equipped with hip restraints and a passenger grab
bar. Whenever you have a passenger riding on
the vehicle, make sure he or she is holding on
securely. Drive slower and turn less sharply
because your passenger does not know what you
are going to do next and may not be prepared for
turning, stopping, accelerating, and bumps.
You should remain seated at all times, keeping
arms and legs inside the vehicle. The operator
should keep both hands on the steering wheel
whenever possible.
There should never be passengers in the Cargo
Bed or on any attachments. The vehicle is meant
to carry a driver and one passenger only, and then
only on the front seat.
SPEED
Speed is one of the most important variables
leading to accidents. Driving too fast for the
conditions can cause you to lose control and have
an accident. Speed can also make a minor
accident worse. Driving head-on into a tree at slow
speed can cause injury and damage, but driving
into a tree at high speed can destroy the vehicle
and kill you and your passenger.
Never drive too fast for the conditions. If there is
any doubt about how fast to drive, slow down.
TURNING
Never operate the vehicle, or any equipment, if
you are under the influence of alcohol or other
drugs. Even prescription drugs and cold
medicines can cause drowsiness. Read the label
on the medicine or check with your doctor or
pharmacist if you are unsure about a certain
medication.
One of the most important rules to follow is to go
slower in unfamiliar areas. It is surprising how
much damage and injury common things can
cause. Tree branches, fences, wires, other
vehicles, tree stumps, ditches, sand traps,
streams, and other things found in most parks and
golf courses can be hazardous to the operator and
passenger.
24
Turning is another important variable leading to
accidents. Turning too sharply for the conditions
can cause the vehicle to lose traction and skid, or
even tip over.
Wet, sandy, and slippery surfaces make turning
more difficult and risky. The faster you are going,
the worse this situation becomes so, slow down
before turning.
During a sharp turn at higher speeds, the inside
rear wheel may lift off the ground. This is not a
flaw in the design, it happens with most four wheel
vehicles including passenger cars. If this happens,
you are turning too sharply for the speed at which
you are traveling. Slow down!
Page 25
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BRAKING
The MULTI PRO® 5500 Turf Sprayer has a
hydrostatic braking system, which means that
when the vehicle is not being propelled into motion
it is stopped. The vehicle will not coast under
normal operation.
It is good practice to slow down before
approaching an obstacle. This gives you extra
time to stop or turn away. Hitting an obstacle can
damage the vehicle and its contents. More
importantly, it can injure you.
Gross vehicle weight has a major impact on your
ability to stop and/or turn. Heavier loads and
heavier attachments make a vehicle harder to stop
or turn. The heavier the load, the longer it takes
to stop.
The braking characteristics also change with no
bed or attachments on the vehicle. Fast stops
may cause the rear wheels to lock up, which may
affect the control of the vehicle. Its a good idea to
decrease the vehicle speed with no bed or
attachments.
Turf and pavement are much more slippery when
wet. It can take 2 to 4 times as long to stop on wet
surfaces as on dry surfaces.
NOTE: Heavy loads and turf conditions affect
your vehicle's brake performance and ability
to turn quickly without tipping over.
TIPOVERS
The best way to prevent accidents involving Turf
Sprayer is through continuous supervision and
training of operators and paying constant attention
to the area in which the vehicle is being operated.
The best way for operators to prevent serious injury
or death to themselves or others is to familiarize
themselves with the proper operation of the Turf
Sprayer, to stay alert and to avoid action or
conditions which could result in an accident. In
the event of a tip over, the risk of serious injury or
even death will be reduced if the operator and all
involved follow the instructions provided.
WARNING
1149
Tipping or rolling the vehicle could cause
serious personal injury or death.
If engine stalls or you lose momentum
on a hill, never attempt to turn vehicle
around.
When backing down a hill always back
straight down.
Never drive across a steep hill, always
drive straight up or down.
Avoid turning on a hill.
HILLS
Use extra care when on hills. Never go on hills
that are extremely steep. Stopping while going
down a hill will take longer than on level ground.
Turning while going up or down a hill is more
dangerous than turning on the level. Turning while
going down hill, especially with the brakes on, and
turning up hill while traversing a hill, are particularly
dangerous. Even at a slow speed and without a
load, tipovers are more likely if you turn on a hill.
Do not accelerate while climbing or descending a
hill. If you have to turn while on a hill, do it as
slowly and cautiously as possible. Never make
sharp or fast turns on a hill.
If you stall or begin to lose headway while climbing
a hill, quickly apply the brakes, engage emergency
brake, and restart the engine.

In an emergency the MULTI PRO® 5500 can be
towed a short distance by actuating the dump
valve in the variable displacement hydraulic pump,
and towing the vehicle. However, TORO does not
recommend this as a standard procedure.
IMPORTANT! Do not tow the vehicle faster than
2-3 mph (3-4.8 km/hr) because internal
transmission damage may occur. The dump
valve must be open whenever the vehicle is
pushed or towed. If the vehicle must be moved
a considerable distance, transport it on a truck
or trailer.
Note: When the engine is not running, the
power steering will not function, making it
difficult (increased effort) to steer.
CAUTION
Towing at excessive speeds could cause
vehicle to lose steering control.
Never tow vehicle faster than 3 MPH.
DUMP VALVE (Fig. 20)
1.The Dump Valve is located on the left side of
the variable displacement pump. Rotate the valve
90° in either direction to open. This will allow
hydraulic fluid to by-pass internally. When fluid is
by-passed, the vehicle can be moved - slowly without damaging the transmission.
2.Close dump valve before starting the engine.
However do not exceed 5-8 ft-lb (7-11 N m) torque
to close the valve.

and recommended coolant. Install the radiator
cap securely.
Never remove the radiator cap, under any
conditions, when the engine is running.
Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine or radiator are hot.
IMPORTANT! NEVER SPRAY WATER ONTO A
HOT ENGINE AS DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.
IMPORTANT! NEVER ADD COOLANT TO AN
ENGINE THAT HAS BECOME OVERHEATED,
UNTIL THE ENGINE HAS COOLED. ADDING
COOLANT TO AN EXTREMELY HOT ENGINE
CAN RESULT IN A CRACKED BLOCK OR
CYLINDER HEAD.
Whenever coolant level checks are made check
condition of the rubber seal on the Radiator Cap.
Make sure the Radiator Filler Neck and Cap are
clean and rinsed free of any dirt particles.
The cooling system has a total capacity of 12
quarts (11.5 liters). A 50/50 mix of anti- freeze and
clean water is recommended.
Maintain the coolant level at approximately 3/4 to
1-1/2 inches below the Filler Neck seat on the
Radiator when the coolant is cold.
5.Start engine and operate until warm. Recheck
level and replenish, if required.
Use only a permanent-type coolant that meets
Ford Specification ESE-M97B44-A. Refer to the
coolant mixture chart on the container for
additional antifreeze protection information. Do
not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze.
Every 200 hours (more often in dusty areas)
inspect the exterior of the radiator and oil cooler
for obstructions. Remove all bugs, dirt, or foreign
material with a soft brush or cloth. Use care to
avoid damaging the fins. If available, use low
pressure compressed air or a stream of water in
the opposite direction of normal air flow.
Check all hoses and connections for leaks. If any
of the hoses are cracked, frayed, or feel spongy,
they should be replaced.
Remove debris from engine area, oil cooler, and
radiator daily, clean more frequently in dirty
conditions.

BELT MAINTENANCE
DRIVE BELTS
The drive belts should be properly adjusted at all
times. A loose drive belt causes improper
alternator, fan and water pump operation, in
addition to overheating. Overtightening the belt
may result in excessive wear on the alternator and
water pump bearings, as well as premature wear
on the belt itself. Therefore, it is recommended
that a belt tension gauge be used to check and
adjust the belt tension. Any belt that has
operated for a minimum of 10 minutes is
considered a used belt, and when adjusted, it
must be adjusted to the reset tension shown in
the specifications below:
Belt Tension Specifications
AlternatorTension
New79-101 lbs.
Used-Reset Minimum56-75 lbs.
Governor
New75 lbs.
Used-Reset Minimum50 lbs.
A used belt is one that has been in operation for 10
minutes or more. Reset belt tension when it meets
minimum specification.
ADJUSTING BELTS
3. Hold alternator in position after proper belt
tension setting is achieved and tighten alternator
and brace bolts to secure adjustment.
Governor/Cooling Fan Belt (Fig. 33)
1. To adjust belt tension, loosen upper and lower
nuts securing idler arm to front engine mount.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CHANGING HYDRAULIC FLUID
Change hydraulic fluid after every 400 operating
hours, in normal conditions. If fluid becomes
contaminated, contact your local TORO distributor
because the system must be flushed.
Contaminated fluid looks milky or black when
compared to clean oil.
1.Start engine, park machine on a level surface,
set the parking brake, and shut engine off. Block
the two rear wheels.
2.Clean area around hydraulic oil filter and
remove filter.
3.Clean area around one hydraulic line on
bottom of tank. Loosen and remove line from tank
fitting and allow oil to flow into drain pan.
4.Install new filter; refer to steps 1-2 in
"Replacing Hydraulic Oil Filter", for proper
procedures.
5.Reinstall hydraulic line on tank fitting and
tighten securely.
2.Clean area around filter mounting area. Place
drain pan under filter and remove filter.
3.Lubricate new filter gasket, and fill the filter
with recommended hydraulic fluid.
4.Make sure filter mounting area is clean. Screw
filter on until gasket contacts mounting plate. Then
tighten filter 1/2 to 2/3 turn.
5.Start engine and let run for about two minutes
to purge air from the system. Stop the engine,
check the hydraulic oil level, and check for leaks.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC LINES AND
HOSES
CAUTION
Pin hole leaks can eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic fluid escaping
under pressure can penetrate skin and
cause injury.
6.Fill reservoir with approximately 12 gallons of
hydraulic fluid. Refer to "Checking Hydraulic
Fluid". (page 18)
IMPORTANT! Use only hydraulic fluids
specified. Other fluids could cause system
damage.
7.Install reservoir cap. Start and run engine at
idle speed for about two minutes and turn the
steering wheel lock to purge air trapped in the
system. Turn the engine off.
8.Check level of fluid and add enough to raise
level to specified level. DO NOT OVERFILL.
REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL FILTER
IMPORTANT! KEEPING THE HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM CLEAN IS ESSENTIAL. SERVICING
THE HYDRAULIC FILTER IS CRITICAL TO THE
LIFE OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.
The hydraulic filter keeps the hydraulic system
relatively free of contaminants and must be
serviced at regular intervals. Initially, change filter
after first ten hours of engine operation, and
thereafter every 200 hours of operation or
yearly, whichever comes first. Use TORO oil
filter, Part No. 86-3010, as a replacement.
Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this form
of injury or gangrene may result.
Wear gloves and use cardboard or
paper to find hydraulic leaks.
Inspect 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.
1.Position vehicle on a level surface, stop
vehicle, engage parking brake (lock), turn engine
off, and remove key from ignition switch.

BATTERY CARE
1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly
maintained and the top of the battery kept clean.
If the vehicle is stored in a location where
temperatures are extremely high, the battery will
run down more rapidly than if the vehicle is stored
in a location where temperatures are cool.
2. Keep top of battery clean by washing
periodically with a brush dipped in ammonia or
bicarbonate of soda solution. Flush the top
surface with water after cleaning. Do not remove
fill cap while cleaning.
3. Battery cables must be tight on terminals to
provide good electrical contact.
4. If corrosion occurs at terminals. Remove
battery cover, disconnect cables, negative (-)
cables first and scrape clamps and terminals
separately. Reconnect cables positive (+) cable
first and coat terminals with petroleum jelly.
5. Check the electrolyte level every 50 operating
hours, or if machine is in storage, every 30 days.
6. Maintain cell level with distilled or
demineralized water. Do not fill cells above the
bottom of the ring inside each cell.
CAUTION
Electrolyte gases are explosive and can
cause serious injury to eyes, lungs and
skin. Nausea may result if the gases are
inhaled.
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves
when working with electrolyte or battery.
Charge the Battery in a well ventilated
place so gases produced while charging
can dissipate.
There are two 30 amp fuses in the vehicle's
electrical system. The fuse box is located under
the left operators seat.
The 5 amp in-line fuse located under the dash
panel on the left side, is for the speed control
feature.
Unplug charger from electrical outlet
before connecting to or disconnecting
charger leads from battery posts.
Since the gases are explosive, keep
open flames and electrical spark away
from the battery; DO NOT SMOKE!

TRACTION DRIVE MAINTENANCE
LINKAGE MAINTENANCE (FIG. 43)
It is very important that the foot pedal operate freely
and return positively to the NEUTRAL or
CENTERED position. Periodic maintenance of the
traction pedal requires applying grease to the
grease fittings on the linkage control arms as
shown in Fig. 43.
LINKAGE TROUBLESHOOTING
(FIG. 43)
If the traction pedal fails to operate smoothly and
freely, or fails to return to the NEUTRAL position,
the following steps should be checked and
corrections made if required:
1.Check that the traction pedal pivot tube is free
on the pivot pin.
2.Check that the control linkage front and rear
ball joints move freely.
3.Check that no cables, wiring harnesses, etc.
are restricting or interfering with the linkage travel.
4.Check that the linkage centering arms are
pivoting freely.
5.Check that both centering springs are in their
proper position.
6.Check that the control plate is rotating freely.
The traction pedal and transmission adjustments
are factory pre-set to assure the transmission is in
the NEUTRAL or CENTERED position. If the MULTI
®
PRO
5500 Turf Sprayer should experience "creep"
when the traction pedal is in the NEUTRAL or
CENTERED position, EMPTY THE TANK, and
adjust as follows:
1.Position vehicle on a level surface, stop
engine, engage parking brake (lock), turn engine
off, and remove key from ignition switch.
2.Raise rear wheels completely off the ground
surface and support with jack stands. Chock the
front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling
forward or backward.
3.Remove the control linkage from the control
plate at the rod end and pull away from the control
plate.
4.Pull both control arms away from the control
plate bearings (Fig. 43). When the control plate is
adjusted correctly, the control plate WILL NOT
rotate when the control arms are pulled away.
10. Reattach the control linkage to the control
plate.
TESTING THE ADJUSTMENT
1.Lower the vehicle from the jack stand.
2.Start the engine and release the Parking/
Emergency Brake Pedal.
3.Verify the proper adjustment. The vehicle
SHOULD NOT experience any "creep".
If "creep" is still present, recheck the control plate
adjustment and the servo adjustment.
5.If control plate IS NOT adjusted correctly,
proceed to STEP 7.
6.If control plate IS adjusted correctly, proceed
to STEP 8.
7.To adjust the control plate, loosen the two
control plate mounting bolts, so it allows the
control plate to center itself and allows the servo
control arm to move independently as shown in
Fig. 43 Retighten the two control plate mount bolts
and verify the proper adjustment by pulling both
control arms away from the control plate bearings.
The control plate SHOULD NOT ROTATE! After
proper adjustment proceed to STEP 10.
8.Make a chalk mark on the servo adjusting
screw to use as a reference point.
9.Loosen the jam nut on the servo adjusting
screw. Release the brake pedal, start the engine,
and turn the servo adjusting screw counter
clockwise until the rear wheels begin to move.
Make a chalk line on the servo housing next to
the servo screw mark to show this location. Rotate
the servo adjusting screw clockwise until the rear
wheels begin to rotate in the opposite direction.
Make a chalk mark on the servo housing next to
the servo screw mark to show this location. Turn
the servo adjusting screw to midway between
these two marks and retighten the jam nut.

FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK:
CAUTION
CHEMICALS ARE HAZARDOUS AND CAN
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY!
Carefully read the directions printed on
the chemical manufacturer's labels
before handling chemicals. Instructions
on chemical manufacturer's container
labels, regarding mixing proportions,
should be read and strictly followed.
Keep spray material from skin. If spray
material comes in contact with body,
wash it off immediately with clean water
and detergent.
Always wear goggles and other
protective equipment as recommended
by the Chemical Manufacturer.
IMPORTANT: Follow the chemical
manufacturer's instructions for mixing spray
solution to obtain desired application rate. Do
not add chemical to Tank until just before use.
The concentrate should not be poured into an
empty Tank: Fill tank about one-half full with
clean, clear water. With agitation ON, add
chemical concentrate and finish filling Tank with
water.
1. Refer to "Operation" section.
OPERATION
USING THE SPRAYER:
1. With Spray Pump switch "ON" and Master
Boom switch "OFF"; drive the vehicle to the area
to be sprayed.
2. With spray system at desired operating
pressure to achieve the application rate of the
chemical selected (see step 6 in "System Set-Up"
above), proceed as follows:
3. Position Throttle Control at 7/8 to full engine
speed to provide for necessary ground speed,
pressure, and volume.
4. Switch the Master ON/OFF Switch to "ON" and
use the Master ON/OFF, Remote Master, or
Individual Boom Switches to control the Boom
Sections.

patterns
Stop the spray flow before stopping the
vehicle.
51
Page 52
OPERATION
AFTER SPRAYING:
It is extremely important to carefully wash and
clean the Tank after every use. Not only the Tank,
but the Pump, Hoses, Nozzles, Screens, Filters,
and the exterior of the Sprayer also should be
cleaned.
Flush Pump After Use
One of the most common causes for faulty pump
performance is "gumming" or corrosion inside the
pump. Flush the Pump and entire system with a
Tank cleaning agent. Mix according to the
manufacturer's directions. This will dissolve most
residue remaining in the pump, leaving the inside
of the pump clean for the next use.
A minimum of three 50 gallon rinses usually is
required for all components of the Sprayer. The
addition of a detergent cleaner may be advisable
in the initial washing. Directions for such and
addition, if required, are included on the chemical
container.
Cleaning of the Sprayer should be accomplished
in an area where there is no potential for the
chemicals to be washed off in surface water or to
enter subsurface drainage system.
When Sprayer is not to be used for an extended
period, refer to the STORAGE section of this
Manual for the detailed instructions to prevent
damage to the components.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance is most important to
assure long life of the Spray System. The following
maintenance procedures should be followed on
a regular basis:
Flush the entire spraying system after each use.
Failure to clean the system can result in a chemical
residue which can plug the Hoses and/or Nozzle
Tips, Solenoids, and seriously damage the
Centrifugal Pump.
Wash spray nozzles thoroughly with water. Using
compressed air, blow out orifice, clean and dry. If
orifice remains clogged, clean it with a soft bristled
brush. Never use a metal object.
Check all of the nozzles frequently to spot any
inconsistencies in the spray pattern. Worn nozzle
orifices which allow a greater volume of spray
material to flow through the nozzle can cause an
expensive loss in chemical and/or turf damage.
SUCTION STRAINER: Turn off Suction Line Valve
if Tank is full of spray solution. Remove the strainer
bowl and clean the strainer screen daily when
spraying wettable powders - after every 50 hours
when using liquid chemical.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the Pump dry! Be
certain Suction Line Valve is opened when
spraying is resumed. Damage to Spray Pump
can result when operating the Sprayer with
Valve closed.

3. Once nut is removed, place a screwdriver on
each side (as in Fig. 46) behind the impeller and
pry away from the mounting flange. Remove
woodruff key from the shaft. Remove O-ring from
the mounting flange.
Clean-Up Of Pump Housing
1. Using a bottle-type wire brush with air of hand
drill, clean the discharge port, suction port and
the sealing areas of the O-ring on the Pump Casing
and mounting flange. Using the port brush, clean
the seal cavity in the mounting flange.
2. After wire brush cleaning, it is recommended
that the Pump Casing and mounting flange be
further cleaned in a solvent tank to remove rest
and corrosion particles.
Seal Replacement/Pump Housing Reassembly
1. Lubricate seal cavity in mounting flange with
mineral oil or glycerin.
2. Install the stationary portion of the mechanical
seal by sliding over the shaft with the ceramic side
out.
IMPORTANT: Make sure both seal cavity and
seal are clean and lubricated.
3. To seat the seal in the seal cavity, use a piece
of 3/4" PVC pipe 4" to 6" in length.
4. To install the rotary portion of the mechanical
seal, place it over the shaft with the carbon side
facing in, and press until it bottoms out against
the stationary portion. See Fig. 47.
Pump Seal Removal
1. Lightly lubricate shaft with mineral oil or
glycerin for easier removal of seal.
NOTE: In the case of a severe pump seal leak,
check the shaft ball bearing in the hydraulic
motor for possible contamination.
2. Using a 1/2" box end wrench, remove the four
bolts holding the motor to the mounting flange.
Remove motor.
3. Using a screwdriver and hammer, tap out the
stationary portion of the mechanical seal from the
motor side of the mounting flange. (If motor is not
removed, seal can be pried out with a small
screwdriver. CAUTION: The seal will be damaged
by removal in this manner. A new seal must be
used when Pump is reassembled.)
NOTE: This step is NOT required if servicing
only the hydraulic motor.
