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 shall 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.
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.

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
o
to 100o F (16o to 38
o
C). The ignition switch should be in the OFF position 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 test provides 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).
Voltage Measured
Battery Charge Level
12.68 voltsFully charged (100%)
12.45 volts75% charged
12.24 volts50% charged
12.06 volts25% charged
11.89 volts0% charged
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.
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.
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 should be at least 0.50 volt higher than initial battery voltage.
An example of a charging system that is functioning:
At least 0.50 volt over initial battery voltage.
Initial Battery Voltage= 12.30 v
Battery Voltage after 3 Minute Charge= 12.85 v
Difference= +0.55 v

Electrical System
Fuel, Magneto and Power Relays
The ProForce Debris Blower electrical system includes
three (3) identical relays. The fuel, magneto and power
relays are secured to a frame bracket between the battery and the engine (Fig. 13). All three relays are energized by the Remote Control Module. Relays can be
identified by a tag on the wire harness.
The power relay is used to provide power to the machine
when energized by the Remote Control Module.
The fuel relay is used to energize the engine carburetor
fuel solenoid. When the ignition switch is in the RUN or
START position, the fuel relay is energized by the Remote Control Module.
The magneto relay is used to allow ignition operation
when the relay is energized by the Remote Control Module. When de−energized, the relay provides a grounding
path for the engine ignition armatures to prevent ignition
operation.
Testing
1. Make sure that ignition switch is OFF.
2. To prevent unexpected machine operation, disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery terminal. 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
testing.
4. Using a multimeter (ohms setting), measure coil resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (Fig. 14). Resistance should be between 70 and 90 ohms.
5. Connect multimeter (ohms setting) leads to relay terminals 30 and 87. Ground terminal 86 and apply +12
VDC to terminal 85. The relay should have continuity between terminals 30 and 87 as +12 VDC is applied to terminal 85. The relay should not have continuity between
terminals 30 and 87 as +12 VDC is removed from terminal 85.
6. Disconnect voltage from terminal 85 and multimeter
lead from terminal 87.
7. Connect multimeter (ohms setting) leads to relay terminals 30 and 87A. Apply +12 VDC to terminal 85. The
relay should have continuity between terminals 30 and
87A as +12 VDC is applied to terminal 85. The relay
should not 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.
9. Secure relay to machine and connect machine wire
harness connector to relay.
10.Connect negative battery cable to negative battery
terminal. Tighten nut that secures battery cable from 10to 15 ft−lb (14 to 20 N−m). Make sure that battery cover
is secured.

ProForce Debris BlowerPage 4 − 15Electrical System
Remote Transmitter
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.
When a button on the remote transmitter is pressed, the
LED on the remote should flicker (Fig. 16). If the machine control module is energized (control module Time
Out and Power 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.
Pressing the Speed Decrease (turtle) button when the
engine is running causes the engine speed to decrease.
Pressing the RH Nozzle Rotate button causes the blower nozzle to rotate to the right.
Pressing the LH Nozzle Rotate button causes the blower nozzle to rotate to the left.
Pressing the engine Stop button causes the engine to
stop running.
NOTE: When the engine stop button on the remote
transmitter is pressed, there will be a one (1) second
delay before the engine stop LED on the control module
illuminates. Also, for approximately five (5) seconds after the stop button is pressed, the control module engine
stop LED will remain illuminated and no other remote
transmitter operations can be performed.
The remote transmitter is powered by three (3) AAA alkaline batteries. If the range of the remote transmitter
has diminished or the transmitter LED does not flicker
when a button is pressed, the batteries should be replaced. To replace the batteries:
1. Remove six (6) screws that secure the rear cover to
the remote transmitter.
2. Lift rear cover from remote transmitter.
3. Remove batteries from remote transmitter and replace with three (3) new AAA alkaline batteries.
4. Place rear cover on remote transmitter and secure
with six (6) screws.

Electrical System
Control Module
The 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. 17).
Inputs from the engine mounted 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 blower 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. 18).
When a remote transmitter button is pressed, the corresponding control module LED should illuminate and the
control module RF activity LED should flicker (Fig. 18).
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: When the engine stop button on the remote
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 approximately five (5)
seconds.
The control module includes a timer to allow machine
operation for 30 minutes 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 30 minute time period.
The control module does not connect to an external
computer or hand held device, can not be re−pro-
grammed 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, 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.
IMPORTANT: Before performing any welding on the
machine, disconnect the negative battery cable
from the battery to prevent damage to the electrical
system.

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.
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).
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.
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.
CAUTION
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.
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.
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).
Connecting battery cables to the wrong battery post could result in personal injury and/or
damage to the electrical system.
CAUTION
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 machine is in storage.
6. Maintain battery cell level with distilled water. Do not
fill battery cells above the fill line.

1. Perform the following inspections and maintenance:
A. Check battery case for cracks. Replace battery if
cracked or leaking.
B. 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.
C. 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.
D. Check that the cover seal is not broken away. Replace the battery if the seal is broken or leaking.
E. 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 max-
imum fill lines. Charge at 15 to 25 amps for 15 minutes to allow sufficient mixing of the electrolyte.

2. Conduct a hydrometer test of the battery electrolyte.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the area around the cells is
clean before opening the battery caps.
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−
up the hydrometer. At the same time take the temperature of the cell.
B. Temperature correct each cell reading. For each
10
o
F (5.5oC) above 80oF (26.7oC) add 0.004 to the
specific gravity reading. For each 10
o
F (5.5oC) be-
low 80
o
F (26.7oC) subtract 0.004 from the specific
gravity reading.
Example: Cell Temperature100oF
Cell Gravity1.245
100
o
F minus 80oF equals 20oF
(37.7
o
C minus 26.7oC equals 11.0oC)
20
o
F multiply by 0.004/10oF equals 0.008
(11
o
C multiply by 0.004/5.5oC equals 0.008)
ADD (conversion above)0.008
Correction to 80oF (26.7oC)1.253
C. If the difference between the highest and lowest
cell specific gravity is 0.050 or greater or the lowest
cell specific gravity is less than 1.225, charge the 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.
3. Perform a high−discharge test with an adjustable
load tester.
This is one of the most reliable means of testing a battery
as it simulates the cold−cranking test. A commercial battery load tester is required to perform this test.
CAUTION
Follow the battery load tester manufacturer’s
instructions when using a battery load tester.
A. Check the voltage across the battery terminals
prior to testing the battery. If the voltage is less than
12.4 VDC, recharge the battery.
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.
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 test load 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:
Minimum
Voltage
Battery Electrolyte
Temperature
9.670oF (and up)21.1oC (and up)
9.560oF15.6oC

9.130oF−1.1oC
8.920oF−6.7oC
8.710oF−12.2oC
8.5 0oF−17.8oC
I. If the test voltage is below the minimum, replace
the battery. If the test voltage is at or above the minimum, return the battery to service.

Charging
To minimize possible damage to the battery and allow
the battery to be fully charged, the slow charging method is presented here. This charging method can be accomplished with a constant current battery charger
which is commonly available.
CAUTION
Follow the battery charger manufacturer’s
instructions when using a battery charger.
NOTE: Using specific gravity of the battery cells is the
most accurate method of determining battery condition.
1. Determine the battery charge level from either its
specific gravity or open circuit voltage.

CAUTION
Do not charge a frozen battery because it can explode and cause injury. Let the battery warm to
60
o
F (15.5o C) before connecting to a charger.
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 the temperature of the battery
electrolyte. If the temperature exceeds 125
o
F (51.6oC)
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.
