Safety

The SAND PRO 2000 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
machine, these factors are also dependent upon the
awareness, concern, and proper training of the personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and
storage of the machine. Improper use or maintenance of
the machine can result in injury or death. To reduce the
potential for injury or death, comply with the following
safety instructions.

WARNING: Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
which is an odorless, deadly poison. Carbon monoxide is
also known to cause birth defects. Do not run the engine
indoors or in an enclosed area.

BEFORE OPERATING

1. Operate the machine only after reading and under-

standing the contents of this manual.

2. Never allow children to operate the machine or

adults to operate it without proper instructions.

8. Keep everyone, especially children and pets away

from the areas of operation.

9. Since gasoline is highly flammable, handle it care-

fully.

A. Use an approved gasoline container.
B. Do not remove the cap from the fuel tank when

the engine is hot or running.

C. Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
D. Fill the fuel tank outdoors and to about one

inch below the top of the tank, (bottom of filler
neck). Do not overfill.

E. Wipe up any spilled gasoline.

10. Check the safety interlock system daily for proper

operation. If the switch should malfunction, replace
it before operating the machine. (After every two
years, replace the interlock switch in the safety sys­tem, whether it is working properly or not.)

WHILE OPERATING

3. Become familiar with the controls and know how to

stop the engine quickly.

4. Keep all shields, safety devices and decals in place.

If a shield, safety device or decal is malfunctioning,
illegible, or damaged, repair or replace it before
operating the machine.

5. Always wear substantial shoes. Do not operate

machine while wearing sandals, tennis shoes or
sneakers. Do not wear loose fitting clothing which
could get caught in moving parts and cause personal
injury.

6. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, long pants and

a helmet is advisable and required by some local
safety and insurance regulations.

7. Ensure the traction interlock switch is adjusted cor-

rectly so the engine cannot be started unless the trac­tion pedal is released and in neutral position.

11. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and could be deadly,

so do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation.

12. Sit on seat when operating the machine. Never carry

passengers.

13. When starting the engine:
A. Make sure the traction pedal is released.
B. After the engine is started, keep your foot off

the traction pedal. Machine must not move. If
movement is evident, the neutral return bracket
is adjusted incorrectly; therefore, shut the
engine off and readjust bracket so machine does
not move when in neutral position. If the engine
does not start, check interlock switch for proper
adjustment.

14. Using the machine demands attention. To prevent
tipping or loss of control:

3

A. Use care when entering and leaving sand traps.

Use extreme caution around ditches, creeks or
other hazards.

21. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight,and

all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.

B. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
C. Use caution when operating machine on a steep

slope. Reduce speed when making sharp turns
or when turning on hillsides.

D. Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from

reverse to full forward without first coming to a
complete stop.

E. Before backing up, look to the rear and assure

no one is behind the machine.

F. Watch out for traffic when near of crossing

roads. Always yield the right of way.

15. If optional Hitch Kit, model 08833, is installed on

machine, vertical load on hitch should not exceed
200 lbs.

16. Do not touch the engine, muffler or exhaust pipe

while the engine is running or soon after it has
stopped because these areas are hot enough to cause
burns.

17. If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop imme-

diately, turn the engine off, wait for all motion to
stop and inspect for damage. Repair all damage
before commencing operation.

18. Before getting off the seat:

22. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or

nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pres­sure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search
for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and do
serious damage. If fluid is injected into the skin it
must be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene
may result.

23. Before disconnecting or performing any work on the

hydraulic system, all pressure in system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and lowering attach­ments to the ground.

24. To make sure entire machine is in good condition,

keep all nuts, bolts and screws properly tightened.

25. If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is

required, contact an Authorized TORO Distributor.

26. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the engine area

free of excessive grease, grass, leaves and accumula­tion of dirt.

27. If the engine must be running to perform a mainte-

nance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing, and
any parts of the body away from the engine and any
moving parts. Keep everyone away.

A. Stop movement of the machine. Take precau-

tions to prevent accidental starts, rolling away,
etc.

B. Shut the engine off and wait for all movement

to stop.

19. Whenever machine is left unattended, be sure the

engine is stopped, implement is lowered and the key
is removed from ignition.

MAINTENANCE

20. Before servicing or making adjustments to the

machine, stop the engine and pull the spark plug
wire off spark plug to prevent accidental starting of
the engine.

4

28. Do not overspeed the engine by changing governor

settings. Maximum engine speed is 3000 rpm. To
assure safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro
Distributor check maximum engine speed with a
tachometer.

29. Engine must be shut off before checking oil or

adding oil to the crankcase.

30. To be sure of optimum performance and safety,

always purchase genuine TORO replacement parts
and accessories. Replacement parts and accessories
made by other manufacturers could be dangerous.
Such use could void the product warranty of The
Toro Company.

Before Operating

CAUTION

Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop the
engine, pull wires off the spark plugs and remove the key from the
switch.

CHECK CRANKCASE OIL (Fig. 1)

The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however, check the
level before and after the engine is first started.

Crankcase capacity is approximately 2.48 l.

1. Position the machine on a level surface.

2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Push the

dipstick down into the dipstick tube and make sure it is seated
fully. Pull the dipstick out and check the level of oil.

3. If the oil level is low, add enough oil to raise the level to the

FULL mark on the dipstick. Use oil having the APl “service
classification” SF. Oil viscosity—weight—is selected accord­ing to anticipated ambient temperature. Temperature/ viscosity
recommendations are:

A. Above 32° F (0° C)Use SAE 30. The use of multi-weight

oil above 32° F (0° C) is not recommended due to
increased oil consumption and excessive combustion
chamber deposits.

B. Below 32° F (0° C)Use SAE 5W-2O or 5W-30, and if

they are not available, 10W-30 or 10W-40 are acceptable
substitutes.

IMPORTANT: Check the level of oil every 5 operating
hours or daily. Change the oil after every 50 hours of oper­ation.

FILL THE FUEL TANK (Fig. 2)

THE TORO COMPANY STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE USE
OF FRESH, CLEAN, UNLEADED REGULAR GRADE GASO­LINE IN TORO GASOLINE POWERED PRODUCTS. UNLEAD­ED GASOLINE BURNS CLEANER, EXTENDS ENGINE LIFE,
AND PROMOTES GOOD STARTING BY REDUCING THE
BUILD-UP OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER DEPOSITS. LEAD­ED GASOLINE CAN BE USED IF UNLEADED IS NOT AVAIL-

8

ABLE.

NOTE: Never Use Methanol, Gasoline Containing Methanol,
Gasoline Containing More Than 10% Ethanol, Gasoline Additives,
Premium Gasoline Or White Gas Because Engine Fuel System
Damage Could Result.

Fuel tank capacity is 16 liters.

1. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap.

2. Remove the fuel tank cap.

3. Fill the tank to about one inch below the top of the tank, (bot-

tom of filler neck). DO NOT OVERFILL. Then install the cap.

4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent a fire hazard.

DANGER

Because gasoline is flammable, caution must be used when
storing or handling it. Do not fill the fuel tank while the
engine is running, hot or when the machine is in an enclosed
area. Vapors may build up and be ignited by a spark or
flame source many feet away.

1. Fuel tank cap

Figure 2

DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to prevent the
possibility of an explosion. Always fill the fuel tank outside
and wipe up any spilled gasoline before starting the engine.
Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling gasoline, and fill
the tank no higher than one inch below the top of the tank
(bottom of the 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 no 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.

CHECK HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (Fig. 3)

The hydraulic system is designed to operate on SAE 10W-30 or
10W-40 SF type motor oil. The machine’s reservoir is filled at the

9

factory with oil. However, check the level of oil before the engine is
first started and daily thereafter.

1. Remove the cap from hydraulic oil reservoir.

2. Check the level of oil in the reservoir. the oil level should be up

to the top of cone point on the tank screen.

3. If the oil level is low, add SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 SF type

motor oil until the level is up to the top of cone point on the
tank screen. DO NOT OVERFILL.

4. Install the reservoir cap.

IMPORTANT: To prevent system contamination, clean the top
of hydraulic oil containers before puncturing. Assure the pour
spout and funnel are clean.

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

Check tire pressure before operating the machine. Correct air pres­sure in the front and rear tires is 27–41kPa.

Controls

Traction and Stopping Pedal (Fig. 4–5)—The traction pedal has
three functions: one, to make the machine move forward, two, to
move it backward and three, to stop the machine. Using the heel
and toe of your right foot, depress the top of the pedal to move for­ward and bottom of the pedal to move backward or to assist in
stopping when moving forward. Also, allow the pedal to move or
move it to the neutral position to stop the machine. For operator
comfort, do not rest the heel of your foot on reverse when operat­ing forward (Fig. 5).

Ground speed is proportionate to how far the traction pedal is
depressed. For maximum ground speed, the pedal must be fully
depressed while the throttle is in the FAST position. To get maxi­mum power or when ascending a hill, have the throttle in the
FAST position while depressing the pedal slightly to keep engine
rpm high. When engine rpm begins to decrease, release the pedal
slightly to allow rpm to increase.

1. Traction & stopping pedal

Figure 4

IMPORTANT: For maximum pulling power, the throttle
should be in the “Fast” position, and the traction pedal just
barely depressed.

CAUTION

Use the maximum ground speed ONLY when driving from one
area to another. Maximum speed is not recommended when
using an attached or towed implement.

IMPORTANT: The SAND PRO must not be operated in
reverse with the implement in the down (operating) position, or
the implement could be severely damaged.

Ignition Switch (Fig.6)—The ignition switch, used to start and

stop the engine, has three positions: OFF, RUN and START. Turn
the key clockwise—START position—to engage the starter motor.
Release the key when the engine starts. The key will move auto­matically to the ON position. To shut the engine off, turn the key
counterclockwise to the OFF position.

Choke Control (Fig. 6)—To start a cold engine, close the carbure­tor choke by pulling the choke control out to the ON position.
After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the engine run­ning smoothly. As soon as possible, open the choke by pushing it
downward to the OFF position. A warm engine requires little or no
choking.

Throttle Control (Fig. 6) —Lever connects to and operates the
throttle linkage to the carburetor. The trottle control has two posi-

Hour Meter (Fig. 6)—Shows the total hours of machine opera-

tion. The Hour Meter starts to function whenever the key switch
is turned to the “ON” position.

Ammeter (Fig. 6)—The ammeter indicates the rate of battery
charge or discharge.

Note: During normal operation, there will usually be slight amme­ter needle movement to the positive side.

Lift Lever (Fig.7)—To raise the implement, pull the lever up; to
lower the implement, push the lever down. When the desired posi­tion is attained, release the lever and it will return to neutral.

NOTE: The SAND PRO has a double-acting lift cylinder. Down
pressure can be applied to the implement for certain operating
conditions.

Operating

STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make sure the

pedal is in the neutral position.

2. Pull the choke lever out to the ON position—when starting a

cold engine—and the throttle lever to the SLOW position.

3. Insert the key into the ignition switch and rotate it clockwise to

start the engine. Release the key when the engine starts.
Regulate the choke to keep the engine running smoothly.

IMPORTANT: To prevent overheating of the starter
motor, do not engage starter longer than 10 seconds. After
10 seconds of continuous cranking, wait 60 seconds before
engaging starter motor again.

4. When the engine is started for the first time, or after overhaul

of the engine, operate the machine in forward and reverse for
one to two minutes. Also operate the lift lever to be sure of
proper operation of all parts.

CAUTION

Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before checking for oil leaks, loose parts and other mal­functions.

5. To stop the engine, move the throttle control to the SLOW

position and turn the ignition key to OFF. Remove the key
from from the switch to prevent accidental starting.

6. Close the fuel shut-off valve before storing the machine.

CHECK INTERLOCK SYSTEM
OPERATION

The purpose of the interlock system is to prevent the engine from
cranking or starting unless the traction pedal is in “NEUTRAL”.

1. Check interlock operation in a wide open area free of debris

and bystanders. Stop the engine.

2. Sit on the seat. Depress the traction pedal in the forward and

reverse directions, while trying to start the engine. If the engine

13

cranks there may be a malfunction in the interlock system.
Repair the system immediately. If the engine does not crank,
system is operating correctly.

CAUTION

The interlock switch is for the operator’s protection, so do
not disconnect it. Check operation of the switch daily to
assure the interlock system is operating. If the switch is
defective, re;place it before operating. Regardless of whether
the switch is operating correctly, replace it every two years to
assure maximum safety. Do not rely entirely on safety
switches—use common sense.

TOWING THE SAND PRO (Fig. 9)

In case of emergency, the SAND PRO can be towed for a short dis­tance. However, Toro does not recommend this as a standard proce­dure.

IMPORTANT: Do not tow the machine faster than 3–5 kmh
because drive system may be damaged. If the machine must be
moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.

1. Reach under the front of the machine and rotate by-pass valve

on the pump counterclockwise until it is fully open.

2. Before starting the engine, close the by-pass valve securely by

rotating it clockwise. Do not exceed 6–10 Nm torque. Do not
start the engine when the valve is open.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

1. Only 8 hours operating time is required for SAND PRO break-

in period.

2. Since the first hours of operation are critical to future depend-

ability of the machine, monitor its functions and performance
closely so that minor difficulties that could lead to major prob­lems are noted and can be corrected. Inspect the SAND PRO
frequently during break-in for signs of oil leakage, loose fas­teners, or any other malfunction.

Figure 9

OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

Practice driving the SAND PRO because its operating characteris­tics are different from those of other utility vehicles. Two points to

14

consider when operating the vehicle are transmission and engine
speed.

To maintain somewhat constant engine rpm, depress the traction
pedal slowly. This allows the engine to keep up with ground speed
of the vehicle. By contrast, pushing down quickly on the traction
pedal will reduce engine rpm and, as a result, there will not be
enough torque power to move the vehicle. Therefore, to transfer
maximum power to the rear wheels, move the throttle to FAST and
slightly depress the traction pedal.

By comparison, maximum ground speed with no load results when
throttle is at FAST and the traction pedal is slowly but fully
depressed. In summary, always keep engine rpm high enough to
deliver maximum torque power to the rear wheels.

CAUTION

Using the machine demands attention. To prevent tipping or loss
of control, use care when entering and leaving sand traps. Use
extreme caution around ditches, creeks or other hazards. Use cau­tion when operating the machine on a steep slope. Reduce speed
when making sharp turns or when turning on hillsides. Avoid sud­den stops and starts. Do not go from reverse to full forward with­out first coming to a complete stop.

INSPECTION AND CLEAN-UP

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.

Make sure cooling fins and the area around the engine cooling air
intake are kept free of debris. After cleaning, inspect the machine
for possible hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and
mechanical components.

15

Maintenance

LUBRICATION (Fig. 10)

The steering shaft grease fitting must be lubricated regularly with
No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease.

1. Remove the (5) screws securing the front panel to the frame

(Fig. 10). Locate grease fitting through the opening in the
frame.

NOTE: We do not recommend lubricating the steering chain
unless it becomes stiff because of rust. If the chain rusts, it may
be lubricated lightly with a DRY-TYPE LUBRICANT.

CHANGING CRANKCASE OIL

For new engines, change the oil after the first 5 operating hours.
Thereafter, under normal conditions, change the oil after every 25
hours of engine operation. However, an engine operated in dusty or
dirty conditions requires more frequent oil changes. If possible, run
the engine just before changing oil. Warm oil flows more freely and
carries more contaminants than cold oil.

1. Front Panel

Figure 10

1. Place an oil drain pan below the drain plug on bottom of

crankcase. Clean the area around drain plug.

2. Remove the drain plug and allow oil to flow into drain pan. After

the oil is drained, reinstall the oil drain plug.

3. Remove the dipstick/filler cap and pour approximately 2.5 l of

oil having the APl “service classification” SF into the filler neck.
Oil viscosity is selected according to anticipated ambient tem­perature. Temperature/viscosity recommendations are:

A. Above 32° F (0°C)—Use SAE 30. The use of multi-weight

oil above 32° F (0°C) is not recommended due to increased
oil consumption an excessive combustion chamber deposits.

B. Below 32° F (0° C)—Use SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30, and if

they are not available, 10W-30 or 10W-40 are acceptable
substitutes.

4. Check the oil and make sure the level is up to the FULL mark on

the dipstick. Add more oil if the level is low; however, DO NOT
OVERFILL.

5. Dispose of oil properly.

16

SERVICING AIR CLEANER (Fig. 11–12)

The foam precleaner must be cleaned and re-oiled after every 25
hours engine operation if the engine is operated in clean air condi­tions. However, the air cleaner must be cleaned every few hours if
operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.

1. Remove the engine shield mounting screws and remove the

shield.

2. Remove the lock nut and air cleaner cover.

3. Remove the foam precleaner by sliding it off the paper ele-

ment.

4. A. Wash the foam precleaner in detergent and warm water.

B. Wrap the foam precleaner in cloth and squeeze it dry. Do

not wring the precleaner.

C. Saturate the foam pre-cleaner in engine oil. Squeeze to

remove excess oil.

5. Reinstall it on the paper cartridge.

Inspect the paper element every 50 hours of operation and
replace when dirty or damaged. Do not wash the paper element
or do not clean it with compressed air because damage will
occur.

Note: With the air cleaner disassembled, check the air
cleaner components for damage. Replace if necessary. Make
sure the rubber breather tube in the base plate is securely in
place or severe engine damage may occur.

6. Reinstall the element with the precleaner, element cover seal,

air cleaner element cover, nut, air cleaner cover and lock nut.

1. Remove the engine shield mounting screws and remove the

shield.

2. Clean the area around the spark plug so dirt does not fall into

the cylinder when the plug is removed.

3. Pull the wire off the spark plug and remove the plug from the

cylinder head.

4. Check the condition of the center and side electrodes to deter-

mine operating temperature of the engine.

A. A light-brown insulator tip indicates correct spark plug

and heat range.

B. A 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.

C. A ight-gray or blistered-white insulator indicates overheat-

ing caused by a lean carburetor setting or and incorrect
spark plug (heat range too high).

IMPORTANT: A cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug must
be replaced. Do not sandblast, scrape or clean electrodes by
using a wire brush because grit may release from the plug
and enter combustion chamber resulting in engine damage.

5. After setting the air gap at .025”, install the spark plug in the

cylinder head. Tighten the plug to 13-20 Nm. Push the wire
onto the spark plug.

6. Reinstall the engine shield.

CLEANING THE CYLINDER HEAD FINS

To avoid overheating and possible engine damage, cooling fins on
the cylinder head must be kept clean.

CHANGING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL
AND FILTER (Fig. 14)

1. Hydraulic filter

Figure 14

The hydraulic system filter must be changed initially, after the first
ten hours of operation, and thereafter every 500 hours of operation
or yearly, whichever comes first. Use a genuine Toro oil filter for
replacement. The hydraulic oil must be changed every 500 hours of
operation or yearly, whichever comes first.

1. Park the machine on a level surface and turn the engine off.

2. Pivot seat upward.

3. Disconnect hose from bottom fitting of the reservoir and let oil

flow into drain pan. Reinstall and tighten the hose when the oil
stops draining.

4. Clean the area around the hydraulic oil filter. Remove the filter

from the bottom of the filter housing and allow the oil to flow
into a drain pan. Use a bottom-type filter wrench. Dispose of
the oil filter properly.

5. Apply a film of oil on the filter gasket. Install the filter by hand

until the gasket contacts mounting head; then tighten filter an
additional three-fourth’s turn.

6. Fill the reservoir to proper level, refer to Check Hydraulic

System.

7.

Place all controls in the neutral or disengaged position and start
the engine. Run the engine at its lowest possible RPM to purge
the system of air.

8. Run the engine until the lift cylinder extends and retracts and

forward and reverse wheel motion is achieved.

9. Stop the engine and check the oil level in the reservoir, add oil

if necessary.

10. Check all connections for leaks.

11. Lower the seat.

12. Dispose of oil properly.

CHECKING HYDRAULIC LINES AND
HOSES

After every 100 operating hours, check hydraulic lines and hoses for
leaks, kinked lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings,
weather deterioration and chemical deterioration. Make all neces­sary repairs before operating.

19

WARNING

Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzels that
eject high-pressure hydraulic fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find
hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can pen­etrate skin and cause injury. 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.

REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER (Fig. 15)

An in-line filter is incorporated into the fuel line. Use the following
procedures should replacement become necessary:

1. Close the fuel shut-off valve.

2. Clamp both fuel lines that connect to the fuel filter so gasoline

cannot drain when lines are removed.

3. Loosen the hose clamps at both ends of the filter and pull the

fuel lines off the filter.

4. Slide hose clamps onto the ends of the fuel lines. Push the fuel

lines onto the fuel filter and secure them with hose clamps. Be
sure the arrow on side of filter points toward the carburetor.

BATTERY STORAGE

If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days, remove the bat­tery and charge it fully. Either store it on the shelf on the machine.
Leave the cables disconnected if stored on the machine. Store the
battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the
charge in the battery. To prevent the battery from freezing, make
sure it is fully charged. The specific gravity of a fully charged bat­tery is 1.250.

BATTERY CARE

1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly maintained and the

top of the battery kept clean. lf the machine 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.

2. Keep the top of battery clean by washing periodically with a

20

brush dipped in ammonia or bicarbonate of soda solution.
Flush the top surface with water after cleaning. Do not remove
the fill cap while cleaning.

3. Battery cables must be tight on terminals to provide good elec-

trical contact.

4. If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the cables, neg-

ative (–) cable first and scrape clamps and terminals separately.
Reconnect cables, positive (+) cable first and coat terminals
with petroleum jelly.

5. Check the electrolyte level every 25 operating hours or, if the

machine is in storage, every 30 days.

6. Maintain cell level with distilled or demineralized water. Do

not fill cells above the fill line.
