SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE OPERATING:
3. Operate the vehicle only after reading and
understanding the contents of this manual. A
replacement manual is available by sending
complete model and serial number to: Hahn
Equipment Co., A subsidiary of The TORO
Company, 1625 N. Garvin, Evansville, Indiana
47711-4596.
Read and understand the Engine Manufacturer's
Operator's Manual. Follow the safety alert
messages.
1. Make sure operators are thoroughly trained
and familiar with the Operator's Manual and all
labels on the vehicle.
2. Be sure to establish your own special
procedures and work rules for unusual operating
conditions (e.g. slopes too steep for vehicle
operation).
The MULTI PRO®1200 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®1200.
The attachments that adapt to the MULTI PRO®
1200 are not covered in this manual. See the
specific Operator's Manual provided with the
attachment for additional safety instructions.
READ THESE MANUALS.
TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY
OR DEATH, COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
5. This vehicle is designed to carry Only You,
the Operator. Never carry passengers on the
vehicle.
6. Never operate the vehicle when under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
7. Become familiar with the controls and know
how to stop the engine quickly.
8. 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 vehicle.
9. Always wear substantial shoes. Do not
operate vehicle while wearing sandals, tennis
shoes, or sneakers. Do not wear loose fitting
clothing or jewelry which could get caught in
moving parts and cause personal injury.
10. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, long
pants, and a helmet is advisable and required by
some local safety and insurance regulations.
11. Keep everyone, especially children and pets,
away from the areas of operation.
12. Before operating the vehicle, always check
all parts of the vehicle and any attachments. If
something is wrong, stop using the vehicle.
Make sure the problem is corrected before vehicle

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
19. The vehicle is designed with safety in mind.
This vehicle is not a passenger car. It is a Turf
Sprayer and is not designed for use on roadways.
Above all, use good judgement when operating
this vehicle. Failure to operate vehicle safely may
result in an accident, tip over of vehicle and
serious injury or death. Drive carefully. To
prevent tipping or loss of control:
A. Use extreme caution, reduce speed and
maintain a safe distance around sand traps,
ditches, creeks, ramps, and any unfamiliar
areas, or other hazards.
B. Watch for holes or other hidden
hazards.
C. Always reduce speed before starting up
or down a hill. Do not start or stop suddenly when
traveling uphill or downhill. Do not operate
vehicle on a steep slope. Travel straight up and
down normal slopes. Avoid turning on hillsides
whenever possible. Reduce speed when making
sharp turns or when turning on hillsides.
D. If engine stalls or loses power and cannot
make it to the top of a slope, apply brakes and
do not turn vehicle around. Always back slowly
straight down the slope.
E. Use extra caution when operating vehicle
on wet surfaces, at higher speeds or with a full
load. Stopping time will increase with a full load.
F. Operate vehicle with extra caution when
handling off-center loads that cannot be
centered.
G. Avoid sudden starts and stops. Do not
go from reverse to forward or forward to reverse
without first coming to a complete stop.
H. Do not attempt sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers or other unsafe driving actions that
may cause a loss of vehicle control.
I. Before backing up, be sure no one is
behind the vehicle. Back up slowly.
J. Watch out for traffic when near or crossing
roads. Always yield the right of way to
pedestrians and other vehicles. This vehicle is
not designed for use on streets or highways.
Always signal your turns and stops early enough
to let other people know what you plan to do.
Obey all traffic rules and regulations.
K. Never operate vehicle in or near an area
where dust or fumes, which are explosive, are in
the air. The electrical and exhaust systems of the
vehicle can produce sparks capable of igniting
explosive materials.
14. The MULTI PRO®1200 is equipped with a
Neutral Switch. The purpose of this switch is to
insure that the vehicle will not start unless the
Range Selector is in the NEUTRAL position and/
or the Neutral Accelerator Lock will not engage
unless the Range Selector is in the neutral

15. Operator should remain seated whenever the
vehicle is in motion. Operator should keep both
hands on steering wheel whenever possible.
Keep arms and legs within the vehicle body at all
times.
16. Sit on seat when starting and operating the
vehicle.
17. When starting the engine:

vehicle to tip or roll, possibly resulting in personal
injury or death.
E. Wipe up any spilled gasoline.

7
20. Do not touch Engine, Muffler, or Muffler
Shield while engine is running or soon after it has
stopped because these areas may be hot
enough to cause burns.
21. If the vehicle ever vibrates abnormally, stop
immediately, turn off engine, wait for all motion
to stop, and inspect for damage. Repair all
damage before commencing operation.
22. Before getting off the seat:
A. Stop movement of the vehicle.
B. While braking, set Parking Brake and
place range selector in the Neutral position.
C. Shut engine off and wait for all movement
to stop.
D. Remove Key from Ignition Switch.

SAFETY AND INSTRUCTIONS
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

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
made by other manufacturers could be
dangerous. Altering this vehicle in any manner
may affect the vehicle's operation, performance,
durability, or its use may result in injury or death.
Such use could also void the product warranty
of the TORO Company.
35. This vehicle should not be modified without
The TORO Company's authorization. Direct any
inquiries to:
Hahn Equipment Co.
A subsidiary of The TORO Company
1625 N. Garvin Street
Evansville, IN 47711-4596
MAINTENANCE:
23. Before servicing, lubricating or making
adjustments to the vehicle, stop engine, set
Parking Brake and remove Key from Ignition
Switch to prevent someone from accidentally
starting the engine.
24. Make sure the vehicle is in safe operating
condition, keeping all nuts, bolts, and screws
tight.
25. To reduce potential fire hazard, keep the
engine area free of excessive grease, grass,
leaves, and accumulation of dirt. Do not wash a
warm engine or electrical components.
26. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are
tight, and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in
good condition before applying pressure to the
system.
27. Keep body and hands away from any pin
hole leaks in hydraulic lines that may eject high
pressure transaxle fluid. Use cardboard or paper
to find hydraulic leaks. Transaxle 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.
L. Watch out for and avoid low overhangs
such as tree limbs, door jambs, overhead
walkways, etc. Make sure there is enough room
overhead to easily clear the vehicle and your
head.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Battery will be preactivated prior to shipment. If
battery is not activated or filled with electrolyte, it
must be removed from vehicle, filled with
electrolyte and charged. Bulk electrolyte with
1.260 specific gravity can be purchased from a
local battery supply outlet.
1. Loosen knobs securing battery cover to battery
base and slide cover off (See FIG. 1).
2. Remove capscrew, washers and locknut
securing battery hold down to battery base.
Remove hold down and slide battery out of battery
base.
3. Remove filler caps from battery and slowly fill
each cell until electrolyte is just above the plates.
4. Replace filler caps and connect a 3 to 4 amp
battery charger to the battery posts. Charge the
battery at a rate of 3 to 4 amperes for 4 to 8 hours.
5. When battery is charged, disconnect charger
from electrical outlet and battery posts.
6. Remove filler caps. Slowly add electrolyte to
each cell unit up to fill ring. Install filler caps.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill battery. Electrolyte
will overflow onto other parts of the vehicle and
severe corrosion and deterioration will result.
WARNING
Connecting cables to the wrong
terminal could cause the battery to
explode, resulting in personal injury
and damage to the electrical system.
Make sure Battery Cables do not
interfere or rub on any moving or hot
parts.
ACTIVATE AND CHARGE BATTERY:
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

BEFORE OPERATING
CHECK ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL:
The engine is shipped with approximately 2
quarts, 1.89 liters, (w/ filter) of oil in the crankcase;
however, level of oil must be checked before
and after the engine is first started.
1. Position vehicle on a level surface. Set
Parking Brake. Tilt seat forward to gain access
to the engine compartment. (See FIG. 1)
2. Remove dipstick and wipe oil off with a clean
cloth. Insert dipstick into tube making sure
dipstick is seated fully, remove dipstick and check
level of oil. If oil level is low, remove filler cap and
add enough oil to raise level up to, but not over,
the F mark on the dipstick. Never operate with
the oil level below the L mark or over the F
mark on the dipstick. Add the oil slowly and
check the level often during this process. (See
FIG. 2)
3. The engine uses any high-quality detergent
oil having the American Petroleum Institute - API
- service classification SF or SG. See viscosity
chart for recommended weight to use.
RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY GRADES
IMPORTANT! Check level of oil BEFORE
EACH USE, while engine is cool so the oil has
had some time to drain into the sump.
FIG. 1
Change oil and filter after the first 5 hours of
operation, thereafter, change oil and filter after
every 100 hours of operation. However, change
oil more frequently when engine is operated in
extremely dusty or dirty conditions.

FILL FUEL TANK:
Fuel tank capacity is 5 gallons (19 liters).
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 BUILDUP
OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER DEPOSITS.
MINIMUM OCTANE RATING OF 87.
IMPORTANT! California Emissions
Regulations REQUIRE the use of UNLEADED
GASOLINE ONLY!

DANGER
Because gasoline is flammable, cau-
tion must be used when storing or
handling it.
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.
FUEL GAUGE: The Fuel Tank Cap shows
amount of fuel in Tank. (See FIG. 4)
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 possibil-
ity of an explosion. Always fill
fuel tank outside and wipe up
any spilled gasoline before start-
ing the engine. Use a funnel or
spout to prevent spilling gaso-
line, and fill tank no higher than
one inch below top of tank, (bot-
tom of filler neck). DO NOT
OVER FILL.
Store gasoline in a clean safety
approved container and keep the
cap on the container. Keep gaso-
line 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 com-
bustion engines; therefore, do
not use it for any other purpose.
Since many children like the
smell of gas, keep gas out of their
reach; the fumes are explosive
and dangerous to inhale.

17
BEFORE OPERATING
CHECK AIR CLEANER/AIR INTAKE:
1. Check the Air Cleaner for any loose or
damaged components. (See FIG. 5)
NOTE: Operating the engine with loose or
damaged Air Cleaner components could allow
unfiltered air into the engine causing premature
wear and failure.
1. Air Cleaner 3. Cover
2. Air Filter 4. Air Intake
FIG. 5
2. Check cooling air intake areas and external
surfaces of engine. (See FIG. 5) Operating the
engine with a blocked screen, dirty or plugged
cooling fins, and/or cooling shrouds removed,
will cause engine damage due to overheating.
Note: For Air Cleaner & Air Intake Maintenance,
see page 33.

To avoid the possibility of a static
charge igniting gasoling vapors, the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration recommends the
following:
Purchase and store gasoline only
in an approved container.
Always place gasoline containers
on the ground away from your
vehicle before filling.
Do not fill gasoline containers
inside a vehicle or on a truck or
trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners
may insulate the container and
slow the loss of any static charge.
When practical, remove gas-
powered equipment from the
truck or trailer and refuel the
equipment with its wheels on the
ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel
such equipment on a truck or
trailer from a portable container,
rather than from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle
must be used, keep the nozzle in
contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete.
