Before Operating
Adjust Brush Down Pressure
Improper downward pressure can decrease brush life up to
95% (depending on the incorrect amount of pressure).
A brush sweeps with the tips of its bristles. When too much
down pressure is applied, the brush is no longer using it’s
tips; the brush is now working with the sides of the bristles.
This limits the flicking action of the bristles and limits it’s
sweeping effectiveness.
To check for correct downward pressure, operate brush on
the ground, rotating at normal operating speed with traction
unit remaining stationary. Stop operation, raise brush and
measure width of swept path. A properly adjusted brush
will have a sweeping path (flat spot on ground) width of 2”
– 4”. (Fig. 4)
If ground speed is too fast, debris will pile up in front of
brush causing brush to bulldoze instead of sweep. This can
damage the bristles and the drive line.
Adjust castor height for proper brush ground pressure. The
castor wheel height is adjustable from 4 to 7 1/2 inches in
1/2 inch increments by adding or removing an equal
amount of spacers from each castor wheel. To adjust castor
height:
1. Start traction unit and raise broom by shortening chain
or positioning on ground rise. Stop engine after broom
is raised.
2. Remove cap securing castor spindle to frame bracket
and lower castor.
3. To remove spacers from bottom, lift lowest spacer .25
inch and rotate until the opening in the spacer aligns
with the slot on the castor spindle and slides off. To add
spacers to the bottom, lift lowest spacer until slot on
castor spindle is exposed and a spacer can be slid onto
castor spindle.
4. Move desired amount of spacers to top or bottom of
bracket. Make sure spacers are equal on both castor
wheels and a thrust washer is positioned on each side of
frame bracket.
5. Reinstall cap, lower broom and correct broom chain
length.
Broom Lift Chain Tension
With the castors adjusted so there is a 2” – 4” brush flat
spot on ground (Fig. 4) adjust lift chain so, in transport lift
position, the brush is raised approximately 1–2” off ground
with castors still on ground. Chain should not lift castors
off of ground (Fig. 5).
Operating Position
Figure 4
Transport Position
Figure 5
Check Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system is designed to operate on Mobil 424
hydraulic oil. The machine has a 10 gallon reservoir; verify
that the reservoir is filled before initial operation and daily
thereafter.
To check hydraulic oil:
1. Position machine on a level surface.
2. View oil level in site glass.
3. Add oil until oil shows 1/4 way up on site glass.
Important To prevent system contamination, clean top
of hydraulic oil containers before puncturing seal. Assure
pour spout and funnel are clean.

11
Operating
Instructions
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Thrown debris has considerable force and could
cause injury.
•Stay away from the sweeping area when the
machine is operating.
•Keep bystanders away from the sweeping area
when the machine is running.
Warning
Operation
1. Lower the broom to the ground and place lever in float
position.
2. Increase engine speed to full throttle position.
3. Engage PTO lever.
4. Drive traction unit at a slow, comfortable speed.
Broom Angle
Manual Swivel
To set the broom angle straight, left or right, remove the pin
from the manual swivel, swivel the broom head to the
desired position and replace the pin.
Electric Swivel Option (Model 30728)
Toggle the control box broom angle switch left or right
until the desired position is reached and release the switch.
Operating Tips
You can add measurable sweeping hours to your brush by
remembering these simple things:
1. More pressure does not give a better sweep.
2. A level brush lasts longer.
3. Faster ground speed will cause the brush to wear faster.
Ground Speed
Bulldozing produces a side thrust and excessive stress on
the broom. While operating under the plow effect, the
bristles are flexed against the steel ring which holds them
and, eventually, this flexing will break the bristles from the
ring.
Curb Climbing and Trailer
Loading
When climbing curbs or loading the broom on a trailer,
raise the broom to the transport position and drive forward
slowly. The curb or trailer ramp will contact the brush
bristles and raise the broom for proper climbing.

12
Maintenance
To prevent accidental starting of the engine, while
performing maintenance, shut engine off and
remove key from the ignition switch.
Caution
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Lubrication
The broom must be lubricated regularly. If machine is
operated under normal conditions, lubricate with No. 2
general purpose lithium base grease after every 8 hours of
operation or daily, whichever comes first. Lubricate fittings
immediately after every washing regardless of the interval
listed.
The broom has (9) fittings that must be lubricated.
•Castor shaft bushings (2)
•Broom head pivot (1)
•Rotor bearing (1)
•Rotor yoke (1)
•Broom lift pivot tubes (4)
Disconnecting the Broom from
the Traction Unit
1. Position the traction unit on a level surface, lift the
broom to highest position and remove the 1/2” x 4” arm
lock pins and arm lock brackets.
2. Lower the broom, shut off engine and engage the
parking brake.
3. Remove the lift chain.
Since the right hand push arm is spring loaded to
about 100 pounds and left hand push arm is spring
loaded to about 150 pounds, a helper is needed to
push the push arm down. Sudden release of the
push arm could cause injury.
Warning
4. Have a helper carefully push down on right push arm
while you remove the capscrews, flat washers and
flange nuts securing the ball joint mount to the broom
mount. Now the helper can carefully allow the push arm
to move upward, which will gradually release the 100
pounds of spring load.
5. Have a helper carefully push down on left push arm
while you remove the capscrews, flat washers and
flange nuts securing the ball joint mount to the broom
mount. Now the helper can carefully allow the push arm
to move upward, which will gradually release the 150
pounds of spring load.
6. Disconnect wire from control box to actuator plug.
(Option)
7. Back the traction unit away from the broom.

8. Reinstall brush retaining plate.
9. Reinstall bearing housing, hydraulic motor mount and
guard.
Broom Lift Chain Tension
Note: Whenever brush elements are replaced or castor
height adjusted the lift chain must be adjusted to apply
proper downward brush pressure
With castors adjusted for 2” – 4” brush flat spot on ground
(Fig. 4) adjust lift chain so, in transport lift position, the
brush is raised approximately 1 – 2” off ground with
castors still on ground. Chain should not lift castors off of
ground. (Fig. 5)
Changing Hydraulic System Oil
And Filter
The hydraulic system filter must be changed initially, after
the first 5 hours of operation, and thereafter every 200
hours of operation or yearly, whichever comes first. Use a
suitable oil filter for replacement. The hydraulic oil must be
changed every 200 hours of operation or yearly, whichever
comes first. To change oil:
1. Park machine on a level surface, raise broom and turn
the engine off.
2. Place drain pan under drain plug in underside of tank.
Remove drain plug. Remove reservoir cap.
3. Clean the area around the hydraulic oil filter. Remove
filter from the bottom of the filter head and allow the oil
to flow into a drain pan. Dispose of oil and filter
properly.
4. Apply a film of oil on the filter gasket. Install filter by
hand until gasket contacts filter head, then tighten filter
an additional three–fourths turn.
5. Lower broom to ground.
Note: Do not fill past 1/4 way up on sight glass.
6. Add 7 gallons of hydraulic oil to the reservoir (refer to
Check Hydraulic System). Run brush for 1 minute, then
add 3 additional gallons of oil or until level shows 1/4
way up on sight glass.
7. Check all connections for leaks.
Servicing Castor Fork
Bushings
After many hours of operation, the bushings pressed into
the top and bottom of the frame bracket will wear. To check
the bushings, move castor fork fore and aft and from side to
side. If castor spindle is loose in the bushings, bushings are
worn and must be replaced.
1. Start traction unit and raise broom to highest possible
position and turn off engine. Block up broom frame so
it cannot accidentally fall.
2. Remove cap and thrust washers from top of castor
spindle.
3. Pull castor spindle out of bracket. Allow thrust washers
to remain on bottom of spindle.
4. Insert pin punch into top or bottom of bracket and drive
bushing out of tube. Also, drive other bushing out of
bracket. Clean inside of bracket to remove any dirt.

Owner Responsibilities
As the Product owner, you are responsible for required mainte-
nance and adjustments stated in your operator’s manual. Failure
to perform required maintenance and adjustments can be grounds
for disallowing a warranty claim.
Items and Conditions Not Covered
Not all product failures or malfunctions that occur during the
warranty period are defects in materials or workmanship. This
express warranty does not cover the following:
•Product failures which result from the use of non-Toro
replacement parts, or from installation and use of add-on,
modified, or unapproved accessories
•Product failures which result from failure to perform required
maintenance and/or adjustments
•Product failures which result from operating the Product in an
abusive, negligent or reckless manner
•Parts subject to consumption through use unless found to be
defective. Examples of parts which are consumed, or used up,
during normal Product operation include, but are not limited to,
blades, reels, bedknives, tines, spark plugs, castor wheels,
tires, filters, belts, and certain sprayer components such as
diaphragms, nozzles, and check valves, etc.
•Failures caused by outside influence. Items considered to be

storage practices, contamination, use of unapproved coolants,
lubricants, additives, or chemicals, etc.
•Normal “wear and tear” items. Normal “wear and tear” includes,

worn painted surfaces, scratched decals or windows, etc.
Parts
Parts scheduled for replacement as required maintenance are
warranted for the period of time up to the scheduled replacement
time for that part.
Parts replaced under this warranty become the property of Toro.
Toro will make the final decision whether to repair any existing part
or assembly or replace it. Toro may use factory remanufactured
parts rather than new parts for some warranty repairs.
General Conditions
Repair by an Authorized Toro Distributor or Dealer is your sole
remedy under this warranty.
Neither The Toro Company nor Toro Warranty Company is
liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages in
connection with the use of the Toro Products covered by this
warranty, including any cost or expense of providing substi-
tute equipment or service during reasonable periods of
malfunction or non-use pending completion of repairs under
this warranty. Except for the Emissions warranty referenced
below, if applicable, there is no other express warranty. All
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for use are
limited to the duration of this express warranty.
Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or consequential
damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state.
Note regarding engine warranty: The Emissions Control System
on your Product may be covered by a separate warranty meeting
requirements established by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and/or the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
The hour limitations set forth above do not apply to the Emissions
Control System Warranty. Refer to the Engine Emission Control
Warranty Statement printed in your operator’s manual or con-
tained in the engine manufacturer’s documentation for details.
Countries Other than the United States or Canada
Customers who have purchased Toro products exported from the United States or Canada should contact their Toro Distributor (Dealer)
to obtain guarantee policies for your country, province, or state. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your Distributor’s service or
have difficulty obtaining guarantee information, contact the Toro importer. If all other remedies fail, you may contact us at Toro Warranty
Company.
