Torque Specifications
Recommended fastener torque values are listed in the
following tables. For critical applications, as determined
by Toro, either the recommended torque or a torque that
is unique to the application is clearly identified and specified in this Service Manual.
These Torque Specifications for the installation and
tightening of fasteners s hall apply to all fasteners which
do not have a specific requirement identified in this Service Manual. The following factors shall be considered
when applying torque: cleanliness of the fastener, use
of a thread sealant (e.g. Loctite), degree of lubrication
on the fastener, presence of a prevailing torque feature,
hardness of the surface underneath the fastener’s head
or similar condition which affects the installation.
Fastener Identification
As noted in the following tables, torque values should be
reduced by 25% for lubricated fasteners to achieve
the similar stress as a dry fastener. Torque values may
also have to be reduced when the fastener is threaded
into aluminum or brass. The specific torque value
should be determined based on the aluminum or brass
material strength, fastener size, length of thread engagement, etc.
The standard method of verifying torque shall be performed by marking a line on the fastener (head or nut)
and mating part, then back off fastener 1/4 of a turn.
Measure the torque required to tighten the fastener until
the lines match up.

FITTING
ProForce blowers with serial number above 310000000
are equipped with a fuel evaporative control system
(EVAP) designed to collect and store evaporative emissions from the fuel tank. The EVAPuses a carbon canister to collect these evaporative emissions. Fuel vapors
from the fuel tank are vented to the canister where they
are stored. Vapors from the canister are consumed
when the engine is running which purges the canister.
The fuel tank o n these ProForce machines uses a non-vented fuel cap. To connect the tank to the evaporative
control system, a fuel vent valve is positioned in the top
of the tank that allows tank venting through the carbon
canister.
NOTE: If there is restriction in the fresh air filter, the carbon canister or the fuel vent valve, the fuel tank may distort due to venting issues. I f the fuel tank returns to it’s
normal shape when the fuel cap is removed, restriction
in the evaporative control system is likely.
Machines with a carbon canister include a single engine
connection to the engine intake system that is used to
connect the evaporative system to the engine. These
machines use an inline check valve and fuel filter
between the carbon canister and the engine fitting.
Evaporative control system components for ProForce
blowers are shown in Figure 11.

Electrical System Quick Checks
Battery Test (Open Circuit Test)
Use a digital multimeter to measure the battery voltage.
Set the multimeter to the DC volts setting. The battery
should be at a temperature of 60
C). The ignition switch should be in the OFFposition and
all accessories turned off. Connect the positive (+) multimeter lead to the positive battery post and the negative
(--) multimeter lead to the negative battery post. Record
the battery voltage.
NOTE: This testprovides a relative condition of the battery. Load testing of the battery will provide additional
and more accurate information (see Battery Service in
the Service and Repairs section).
o
to 100oF(16oto 38
Charging System Test
This is a simple test used to determine if a charging system is functioning. It will tell you if the charging system
has an output, but not its capacity.
Use a digital multimeter set to DC volts. Connect the
positive (+) multimeter lead to the positive battery post
and the negative (--) multimeter lead to the negative battery post. Keep the test leads connected to the battery
posts and record the battery voltage.
Voltage Measured
12.68 voltsFully charged (100%)
o
Start the engine and run at high idle (3450 RPM). Allow
the battery to charge for at least 3 minutes. Record the
battery voltage.
After running the engine for at least 3 minutes, battery
voltage shouldbe at least 0.50 volthigher than initial battery voltage.
An example of a charging system that is functioning:
12.45 volts75% charged
12.24 volts50% charged
12.06 volts25% charged
11.89 volts0% charged
Battery Charge Level
NOTE: Upon starting the engine, the battery voltage
will drop and then should increase once the engine is
running.
NOTE: Depending upon the condition of the battery
charge and battery temperature, the battery voltage will
increase at different rates as the battery charges.
At least 0.50 volt over initial battery voltage.
Initial Battery Voltage= 12.30 v

Relays
The electrical system on all P roForce Debris Blowers includes a fuel relay that is used t o energize the engine
carburetor fuel solenoid. When the ignition switch is in
the RUN or START position, the fuel relay is energized
by the Wireless Control Module.
ProForceblowerswithserialnumbersbelow
310000000 include a second relay. The power relay on
these machines is used to provide machine electrical
power when it is energized by the Remote Control Module.
ProForce blower models 44538 and 44539 with serial
numbers above 312000000 include an additional three
(3) relays: a start relay and two (2) relays for energizing
the chute rotation motor. These relays are energized by
the Wireless Control Module when a remote transmitter
input is entered for engine starting or chute rotation.
The relays are secured to the control tower bracket next
to the engine. The relays can be identified by the wire
colors at the wire harness connector (see Wire Harness
Drawings in Chapter 7 -- Electrical Diagrams).

6. Disconnect voltage and multimeter leads from the
relay terminals.
7. Connect multimeter (ohms setting) leads to relay terminals 30 and 87A. Ground terminal 86 and apply +12
VDC to terminal 85. The relay should not have continuity
between terminals 30 and 87A as +12 VDC is applied to
terminal 85. The relay should have continuity between
terminals 30 and 87A as +12 VDC is removed from terminal 85.
8. Disconnect voltage and multimeter leads from the
relay terminals.
1. Make sure that ignition switch is OFF.
2. To prevent unexpected machine operation, disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery terminal
(see Battery Service in the Service and Repairs section
of this chapter). Position disconnected negative cable
away from the negative battery terminal.
3. Locate relay and disconnect the machine wire harness connector from the relay. Remove relay from machine for easier testing.
NOTE: Prior to taking small resistance readings with a
digital multimeter, short the meter test leads together.
The meter will display a small resistance value (usually
0.5 ohms or less). This resistance is due to the internal
resistance of the meter and test leads. Subtract this value from the measured value of the component you are

Remote Transmitter (Machines with Single Channel Controller)
NOTE: Machines with a single channel controller can
be identified by the external antenna on the control module (Fig. 15).
The remote transmitter is a solid state electrical device
that sends radio frequency (RF) signal inputs to the machine control module for control of machine electrical
operation (Fig. 15). The remote transmitter has sufficient range to send an RF signal to the control module
from the tow vehicle operator position.
Whenabuttonontheremotetransmitter is pressed, the
LED on the remote should flicker (Fig. 16). If the machine control module is energized (control module Time
Out andPower LED’s are both illuminated) and a remote
transmitter button is pressed, the corresponding control
module LED should illuminate and the control module
RF activity LED should flicker.
If the control module is energized (control module Time
Out and Power LED’s are both illuminated), remote button functions are as follows:
Pressing the Engine Start button initiates a starting sequence to start the engine. This sequence (see Operator’s Manual) is necessary to prevent accidental engine
starting. After pressing the Engine Start button, the RH
Nozzle and LH Nozzle Rotate buttons are inactive for
five (5) seconds.
Pressing the Speed Increase (rabbit) button when the
engine is running causes the engine speed to increase.

Remote Transmitter (Machines with Multi Channel Controller)
NOTE: Machines with a multi channel controller can be
identified by the lack of an external antenna on the control module (Fig. 17).
NOTE: Additional information regarding the remote
transmitter is included in the Operator’s Manual.
The remote transmitter is a solid state electrical device
that sends radio frequency (RF) signal inputs to the machine control module for control of machine electrical
operation (Fig. 17). The remote transmitter has sufficient range to send an RF signal to the control module
from the tow vehicle operator position.
When a button on the remote transmitter is pressed, the
TX LED on the remote should illuminate and then blink
(Fig. 18). If the machine control module is energized
(control module health LED is illuminated) and a remote
transmitter button is pressed, the control module TX/RX
LED should blink.
If the control module is energized(control module health
LED is illuminated), remote transmitter button functions
are as follows:
Pressing the Engine Start button initiates a starting sequence to start the engine. This sequence (see Operator’s Manual) is necessary to prevent accidental engine
starting. If any transmitter buttons are pressed out of order during the starting sequence, the sequence will be
aborted.
The remote transmitter is powered by three (3) AAA alkaline batteries. If the range of the transmitter has diminished or the transmitter TX LED does not illuminate
when a button is pressed, the transmitter batteries
should be replaced.

Wireless Control Module (Machines with Single Channel Controller)
NOTE: Machines with a single channel controller can
be identified by the external antenna on the control module (Fig. 15).
The wireless control module is a solid state electrical device that receives signal inputs from the remote transmitter and uses those inputs to control machine
electrical operation. The control module is attached to
the frame next to the battery (Fig. 19).
Inputs from the ignition switch and the remote transmitter are monitored by the control module. Output to the
magneto relay, fuel relay, power relay, engine starter
motor solenoid, engine throttle control module and
nozzle rotation motor are controlled based on the inputs
received by the control module.
To start b lower operation, rotation of the ignition switch
to the START position is used to turn on or “wake up” the
control module. The control module Time Out and Power LED’s should both be illuminated during blower operation (Fig. 20).
When a remote transmitter button is pressed, the corresponding control module LED should illuminate and the
control m odule RF activity LED should flicker (Fig. 20).
NOTE: Because of the normal RF activity in the environment, the control module RF activity LED may flicker
or be illuminated at any time during machine operation.
Machine operation will only be controlled by the remote
transmitter that is recognized by the control module.
NOTE: Whentheenginestopbuttonontheremote
transmitter is pressed, there will be a one (1) second
delay before the control module engine stop LED illuminates. Also, the control module engine stop LED will remain illuminated and no other remote transmitter
operations can be performed for about five (5) seconds.
The control module includes a time--out feature to allow
machine operation for a time period after the last control
input (e.g. key switch turned off or remote transmitter
button pressed). If no inputs are provided to the control
module during this time period, the control module will
shut off all machine electrical power including turning off
the engine, if running. When the engine is turned off with
either the key switch or the remote transmitter, the control module Time Out and Power LED’s will both be illuminated for this time period. Refer to your Operator’s
Manual for additional details on the time--out feature.
The control module does not connect to an external
computer or hand held device, can not be re--programmed and does not record any fault data. The machine wire harness does include a communication port
with loopback connector that should remain connected.
Because of the solid state circuitry built into the control
module, thereis no reliablemethod to testit. The module
maybedamagedifanattemptismadetotestitwithan
electrical test device, such as a digital multimeter.
IMPORTANT: Before performing any welding on the
machine, disconnect the negative battery cable
from the battery and the wire harness connector
from the wireless control module to prevent damage to the electrical system.

Wireless Control Module (Machines with Multi Channel Controller)
NOTE: Machines with a multi channel controller can be
identified by the lack of an external antenna on the control module (Fig. 21).
The wireless control module is a solid state electrical device that receives signal inputs from the remote transmitter and uses those inputs to control machine
electrical operation. The control module is attached to
the frame next to the engine.
Inputs from the machine ignition switch and the remote
transmitter are monitored by the control module. Output
to the fuel relay, start relay, engine starter motor solenoid, engine throttle control module and nozzle rotation
relays are controlled based on the inputs received by the
control module.
To start blower operation, rotation of the ignition switch
totheSTARTpositionisusedtoturnonor“wakeup”the
control module. The control module Health LED should
be illuminated green during normal blower operation
(Fig. 22). If the Health LED is illuminated either yellow
or red, a problem exists with the controller.
When a remote transmitter button is pressed, the control
module TX/RX LED should flicker (Fig. 22). The TX/RX
LED will be green when the module is receiving a signal
from the remote and will be red when the module is
transmitting.
IMPORTANT: Before performing any welding on the
machine, disconnect the negative battery cable
from the battery and the wire harness connector
from the wireless control module to prevent damage to the electrical system.

Electrical
System
NOTE: Because of the normal RF activity in the envi-
ronment, the control module TX/RX LED may flicker or
be illuminated at any time during machine operation.
Machine operation will only be controlled by the remote
transmitter that is associated to the control module.
The control module includes a power save mode if the
module is active for more than 2.5 hours without communication from the remote transmitter. Once in the
power save mode, the control module will not communicate with the remote transmitter, will not activate any
machine outputs and will not function normally. All machine electrical power will be shut--off including turning
off the engine, if running. Refer to your Operator’s
Manual for additional details on the power save mode.
The control module does not connect to an external
computer or hand held device, can not be re--programmed and does not record any fault data. Because
of the solid state circuitry built into the control module,
there is no reliable method to test it. The module may be
damaged if an attempt is made to test it with an electrical
test device, such as a digital multimeter.

Battery Storage
If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days:
1. Remove the battery from the machine and charge it
fully (see Battery Service).
2. Either store battery on a shelf or on the machine.
3. Leave battery cables disconnected if the battery is
stored on the machine.
Battery Care
1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly maintained. The top of the battery must be kept clean. lf the
machine is stored in a location where temperatures are
extremely high, the battery will discharge more rapidly
than if the machine is stored in a location where temperatures are cool.
CAUTION
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when
working with electrolyte. Charge battery in a well
ventilated place so gasses produced while
charging can dissipate. Since the gases are explosive, keep open flames and electrical sparks
away from the battery; do not smoke. Nausea
may result if the gases are inhaled. Unplug charger from electrical outlet before connecting or
disconnecting charger leads to or from battery
posts.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove battery fill caps while
cleaning.
2. Check battery condition weekly or after every 50
hours of operation. Keep terminals and entire battery
case clean because a dirty battery will discharge slowly.
4. Store battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the battery charge.
5. To help prevent the battery from freezing, make sure
it is fully charged (see Battery Service).
3. Battery cables must be tight on terminals to provide
good electrical contact. Tighten nuts that secure battery
cables from 10 to 15 ft--lb (14 to 20 N--m).
CAUTION
Connecting battery cables to the wrong battery post could result in personal injury a nd/or
damage to the electrical system.
4. If corrosion occurs at battery terminals, disconnect
cables. Always disconnect negative (--) cable first.
Clean clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect
cables to battery with positive (+) cable first. Coat battery posts and cable connectors with Battery Terminal
Protector (Toro Part No. 107--0392) or petroleum jelly to
prevent corrosion.
5. Periodically (at least every 50 operating hours)
check battery electrolyte level. Check electrolyte level
every 30 days if m achine is in storage.
6. Maintain battery cell level with distilled water. Do not
fill battery cells above the fill line.
A. Clean battery by washing entire case with a solution of baking soda and water. Rinse with clear water.
B. Coat battery posts and cable connectors with
Battery Terminal Protector (Toro Part No. 107--0392)
or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.

Battery Inspection and Maintenance
1. Check battery case for cracks. Replace battery if
cracked or leaking.
2. Check battery terminals for corrosion. If corrosion
occurs at terminals, disconnect cables. Always disconnect negative (--) cable first. Clean cable clamps and
battery terminals separately. Reconnect cables with
positive (+) cable first. Coat battery posts and cable connectors with Battery Terminal Protector (Toro Part No.
107--0392) or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the battery, tape or
block vent holes to the filler caps and make sure the
caps are on tightly.
3. Check for signs of wetness or leakage on the top of
the battery which might indicate a loose or missing filler
cap, overcharging, loose terminal post or overfilling.
Also, check battery case for dirt and oil. Clean the battery with a solution of baking soda and water, then rinse
it with clean water.
4. Check that the cover seal is not broken away. Replace the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.
5. Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If the level is
below the tops of the plates in any cell, fill all cells with
distilled water between the minimum and maximum fill
lines. Charge at 15 to 25 amps for 15 minutes to allow
sufficient mixing of the e lectrolyte.

Battery Testing
1. Conduct a hydrometer test of the battery electrolyte.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the area around the cells is
clean before opening the battery caps.
B. If the battery has recently been charged, remove
the battery surface charge before performing the
load test. Disconnect the engine fuel stop solenoid to
prevent the engine from starting. Engage the starter
motor for 10 seconds to remove battery surface
charge. Reconnect the fuel stop solenoid.
A. Measure the specific gravity of each cell with a
hydrometer. Draw electrolyte in and out of the
hydrometer barrel prior to taking a reading to warm-upthehydrometer.Atthesametimetakethetemperature of the cell.
B. Temperature correct each cell reading. For each

C. If the difference between the highest and lowest
cell specific gravity is 0.050 or greater or the lowest
cell specific gravity is lessthan 1.225, chargethe battery. Charge at the recommended rate and time given in Charging or until specific gravity of all cells is
1.225 or greater with the difference in specific gravity
between the highest and lowest cell less than 0.050.
If these charging conditions can not be met, replace
the battery.
2. Perform a high--discharge test with an adjustable
load tester.
This isone of themost reliable means of testing a battery
as it simulates the cold--cranking test. A commercialbattery load tester is required to perform this test.
C. Make sure battery terminals are free of corrosion.
D. Measure the temperature of the center battery
cell.
E. Connect a battery load tester to the battery terminals following the load tester manufacturer’s in-structions. Connect a digital multimeter to the
battery terminals.
F. Apply a testload of 270 amps (one half the Cranking Performance rating of the battery) for 15 seconds.
G. Take a voltage reading after 15 seconds, then remove the load.
H. Using the table below, determine the minimum
voltage for the cell temperature reading:

CAUTION
Do not charge a frozen battery because it can explode and cause injury. Let the battery warm to
o
F (15.5oC) before connecting to a charger.
60
Charge the battery in a well--ventilated place to
dissipate gases produced from charging. These
gases are explosive; keep open flame and electrical spark away from the battery. Do not smoke.
Nausea may result if the gases are inhaled. Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet before
connecting or disconnecting the charger leads
from the battery posts.
3. Following the battery charger manufacturer’s
instructions, connect the charger cables to the battery.
Make sure a good connection is made.
4. Charge the battery following the battery chargermanufacturer’s instructions.
5. Occasionally check t he temperature of the battery
electrolyte. If the temperature exceeds 125
or the electrolyte is violently gassing or spewing, the
charging rate must be lowered or temporarily stopped.
6. Three hours prior to the end of the charging, measure the specific gravity of a battery cell once per hour.
The battery is fully charged when the cells are gassing
freely at a low charging rate and there is less than a
0.003 change in specific gravity for three consecutive
readings.

not fully tighten any screws until all screws are installed
to inner housing flanges and stator vanes. Also, use
hand tools rather than air impact tools during assembly.
4. On machines with serial numbers above 313000000
(Fig. 15), apply Loctite #242 (or equivalent) to threads
of screws used to secure inner and outer housings.
5. Make sure that holes in inner housing flanges align
with outer housing holes. Install and finger tighten eight
(8) screws (item 15) into threads of inner housing
flanges. Do not fully tighten screws at this time.
6. Install stator vanes to inner and outer housing:
A. Position avane between inner and outer housing.
Make sure that rounded end of vane is orientated toward rotor shaft (Fig. 17).
B. Tilt vane and engage vane lugs to inner housing
holes. While keeping vane lugs in inner housing
holes, rotate vane to align threaded hole of vane with
outer housing hole.
