on public streets, roads, or highways.
Warning

4
Supervisor’s Responsibilities
•Make sure that operators are thoroughly trained and
familiar with the Operator’s Manual, Engine Manual,
and all labels on the sprayer.
•Establish your own special procedures and work rules
for unusual operating conditions (e.g. slopes too steep
for sprayer operation).
Chemical Safety
Chemicals are hazardous and can injure you,
bystanders, animals, plants, soils, or other
property.
•Carefully read and follow the chemical
manufacturer’s instructions for the safe
preparation, use, and disposal of the chemical.
•Keep chemicals off of your or bystander’s skin.
if contact should occur, wash it off immediately
with clean water and detergent.
•Wear goggles and other protective equipment as
instructed by the chemical manufacturer.
Warning
•Obtain proper training before using or handling
chemicals.
•Use the correct chemical for the job.
•Follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions for the
safe application of the chemical.
•Handle chemicals in a well ventilated area.
•Wear goggles and other protective equipment as
instructed by the chemical manufacturer. Ensure that as
little skin as possible is exposed while using chemicals.
•Have clean water available especially when filling the
spray tank.
•Do not eat, drink, or smoke while working with
chemicals.
•Always wash your hands and other exposed areas as
soon as possible after finishing the work.
•Properly dispose of unused chemicals and chemical
containers as instructed by the chemical manufacturer
and your local codes.
•Chemicals and fumes in the tanks are dangerous; never
enter the tank or place your head over or in the opening.
Before Operating
•Operate the machine only after reading and
understanding the contents of this manual.
•Never allow children to operate the sprayer. Anyone
who operates the sprayer should have a motor vehicle
license.
•Never allow other adults to operate the sprayer without
first reading and understanding the Operator’s Manual.
Only trained and authorized persons should operate this
sprayer. Make sure that all operators are physically and
mentally capable of operating the sprayer.
•This sprayer is designed to carry only you, the operator,
and one passenger in the seat provided by the
manufacturer. Never carry any other passengers on the
sprayer.
•Never operate the sprayer when under the influence of
drugs or alcohol. Even prescription drugs and cold
medicines can cause drowsiness.
•Do not drive the sprayer when you are tired. Be sure to
take occasional breaks. It is very important that you stay
alert at all times.
•Become familiar with the controls and know how to
stop the engine quickly.
•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.
•Always wear substantial shoes. Do not operate the
machine 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.
•Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, long pants, and a
helmet is advisable and required by some local safety
and insurance regulations.
•Avoid driving when it is dark, especially in unfamiliar
areas. If you must drive when it is dark, be sure to drive
cautiously, use the headlights, and even consider adding
additional lights.
•Be extremely careful when operating around people.
Always be aware of where bystanders might be.
•Before operating the sprayer, always check the
designated areas of the sprayer that are stated in the
Pre-Starting section of this manual, page 17. If
something is wrong, do not use the sprayer. Make sure
that the problem is corrected before the sprayer or
attachment is operated.
•Ensure that all fluid line connectors are tight and all
hoses are in good condition before applying pressure to
the system.
•Since gasoline is highly flammable, handle it carefully.
– Use an approved gasoline container.
– Do not remove the cap from the fuel tank when the
engine is hot or running.

5
– Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
– Fill the fuel tank outdoors, and fill it to about 1 inch
(25 mm) below the top of the tank (the bottom of
the filler neck). Do not overfill it.
– Wipe up any spilled gasoline.
While Operating
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which
is an odorless, deadly poison that can kill you.
Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed area.
Warning
•The operator and passenger should remain seated
whenever the sprayer is in motion. The operator should
keep both hands on the steering wheel whenever
possible, and the passenger should use the hand holds
provided. Keep your arms and legs within the sprayer
body at all times.
•Drive slower and turn less sharply when you are
carrying a passenger. Remember your passenger may
not be expecting you to brake or turn and may not be
ready.
•Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs such as
tree limbs, door jambs, and over-head walkways. Make
sure there is enough room over head to easily clear the
sprayer and your head.
•Failure to operate the sprayer safely may result in an
accident, tip over of the sprayer, and serious injury or
death. Drive carefully. To prevent tipping or loss of
control:
– Use extreme caution, reduce speed, and maintain a
safe distance around sand traps, ditches, creeks,
ramps, unfamiliar areas, or any areas that have
abrupt changes in ground conditions or elevation.
– Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
– Use extra caution when operating the sprayer on wet
surfaces, in adverse weather conditions, at higher
speeds, or with a full load. Stopping time and
distance will increase with a full load.
– Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from
reverse to forward or forward to reverse without
first coming to a complete stop.
– Slow down before turning. Do not attempt sharp
turns or abrupt maneuvers or other unsafe driving
actions that may cause a loss of sprayer control.
– Before backing up, look to the rear and ensure that
no one is behind you. Back up slowly.
– Watch out for traffic when you are near or crossing
roads. Always yield the right of way to pedestrians
and other vehicles. This sprayer is not designed for
use on streets or highways. Always signal your turns
or stop early enough so that other people know what
you plan to do. Obey all traffic rules and
regulations.
– The electrical and exhaust systems of the sprayer
can produce sparks capable of igniting explosive
materials. Never operate the sprayer in or near an
area where there is dust or fumes in the air which
are explosive.
– If you are ever unsure about safe operation, stop
work and ask your supervisor.
•Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is
running or soon after it has stopped. These areas may be
hot enough to cause burns.
•If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop
immediately, wait for all motion to stop, and inspect the
sprayer for damage. Repair all damage before resuming
operation.
•Before getting off of the seat:
A. Stop the movement of the machine.
B. Place the range selector in Neutral and set the
parking brake.
C. Turn the ignition key to Off.
D. Remove the ignition key.
Note: If the sprayer is stopped on an incline, block the
wheels after getting off the sprayer.
Braking
•Slow down before you approach an obstacle. This gives
you extra time to stop or turn away. Hitting an obstacle
can damage the sprayer and its contents. More
important, it can injure you and your passenger.
•Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) has a major impact on
your ability to stop and/or turn. Heavy loads and
attachments make a sprayer harder to stop or turn. The
heavier the load, the longer it takes to stop.
•Turf and pavement are much slipperier when they are
wet. It can take 2 to 4 times as long to stop on wet
surfaces as on dry surfaces. If you drive through
standing water deep enough to get the brakes wet, they
will not work well until they are dry. After driving
through water, you should test the brakes to make sure
they work properly. If they do not, drive slowly while
putting light pressure on the brake pedal. This will dry
the brakes out.
•When operating with a liquid in the tank, reduce your
speed and allow for sufficient braking distance. Do not
suddenly apply the brakes. Use extra caution on slopes.

6
•Be aware that heavy loads increase your stopping
distance and reduce your ability to turn quickly without
tipping over.
Operating on Hills and Rough Terrain
Operating the sprayer on a hill may cause tipping or rolling
of the sprayer, or the engine may stall and you could lose
headway on the hill. This could result in personal injury.
•Do not accelerate quickly or slam on the brakes when
backing down a hill, especially with liquid in the tank.
•Never drive across a steep hill; always drive straight up
or down or go around the hill.
•If the engine stalls or you begin to lose headway while
climbing a hill, gradually apply the brakes and slowly
back straight down the hill.
•Turning while traveling up or down hills can be
dangerous. If you have to turn while on a hill, do it
slowly and cautiously. Never make sharp or fast turns.
•Avoid stopping on hills, especially with liquid in the
tank. Stopping while going down a hill will take longer
than stopping on level ground. If the sprayer must be
stopped, avoid sudden speed changes, which may
initiate tipping or rolling of the sprayer. Do not slam on
the brakes when rolling backward, as this may cause the
sprayer to overturn.
•The Toro Company strongly recommends installing the
optional ROPS Kit when operating on hilly terrain. If
you install a ROPS, always wear the seat belt when
driving the sprayer.
•Liquid loads will shift when turning, going up or down
hills, suddenly changing speeds, or while driving over
rough surfaces. Shifting loads can cause the sprayer to
tip over. Reduce your speed in these conditions.
Sudden changes in terrain may cause abrupt
steering wheel movement, possibly resulting in
hand and arm injuries.
•Reduce your speed when operating on rough
terrain and near curbs.
•Grip the steering wheel loosely around the
perimeter. Keep your hands clear of the steering
wheel spokes.
Warning
Maintenance
•Only permit qualified and authorized personnel to
maintain, repair, adjust, or inspect the sprayer.
•Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine,
stop the engine, set the parking brake, and remove the
key from the ignition to prevent someone from
accidentally starting the engine.
•To make sure that the entire machine is in good
condition, keep all nuts, bolts, and screws properly
tightened.
•To reduce the potential for fire, keep the engine area
free of excessive grease, grass, leaves, and
accumulation of dirt.
•Never use an open flame to check the level or leakage
of fuel or battery electrolyte.
•If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance
adjustment, keep your hands, feet, clothing, and any
parts of your body away from the engine and any
moving parts. Keep everyone away.
•Do not use open pans of fuel or flammable cleaning
fluids when cleaning parts.
•Do not adjust the ground speed governor. To ensure
safety and accuracy, have an Authorized Toro
Distributor check the ground speed.
•Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject high pressure fluid. Use cardboard or
paper to find leaks. Fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury requiring surgery within
a few hours by a qualified surgeon or gangrene may
result.
•If major repairs are ever needed or assistance is
required, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
•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. Altering this
sprayer in any manner that may affect sprayer
operation, performance, durability, and may result in
injury or death. Such use could void the product
warranty.

Setup
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
To use the sprayer, you must obtain and install a boom kit and nozzles. Contact your Authorized Toro Distributor for
information on the available boom kits and accessories. After you install your booms and nozzles and before using the
sprayer for the first time, adjust the boom bypass valves so that the pressure and application rate remains the same for all
booms when you turn one or more booms off. Refer to Adjusting the Boom Bypass valves, page 20.
Caution
Without a boom kit installed, the sprayer may spray chemicals out of the boom valves, possibly
injuring bystanders or causing property damage.
Do not operate the sprayer without a boom kit and nozzles installed.

Before Operating
Checking the Engine Oil
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however,
the level of oil must be checked before you first start the
engine and after you have run it.
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, set the parking
brake, stop the pump, stop the engine, and remove the
ignition key.
2. Remove the dipstick, located under the passenger seat,
and wipe it with a clean rag (Fig. 3). Insert the dipstick
into the tube and make sure it is seated fully. Remove
the dipstick and check the oil level.

Checking the Tire Pressure
Check the tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to ensure
proper levels. Fill the tires to 18 psi (124 kPa). Also, check
the tires for wear or damage.
Adding Fuel
Danger
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and others
and can damage property.
•Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline
that spills.
•Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1 inch
(25 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
This empty space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand.
•Never smoke when handling gasoline and stay
away from an open flame or where gasoline
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
•Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never buy
more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.
•Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your sprayer 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.
Recommended Gasoline
Use fresh, clean, unleaded regular gasoline suitable for
automotive use (87 pump octane minimum). Leaded
gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not available.
Important Never use gasoline containing methanol,
gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol, gasoline
additives, or white gas because engine fuel system damage
could result.
Filling the Fuel Tank
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 10.6 US gallons
(40 L).
Note: The fuel tank cap contains a gauge which shows the
fuel level; check it frequently.
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, set the parking
brake, stop the pump, stop the engine, remove the
ignition key, and allow the engine to cool.
2. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap and remove it
(Fig. 6).

Figure 6
1. Fuel tank cap
3. Fill the tank to about one inch below the top of the tank,
(bottom of the filler neck). This space in the tank allows
gasoline to expand. Do not overfill.
4. Install the fuel tank cap securely.
5. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.
Checking the Coolant Level
If the engine has been running, the coolant may be
hot and pressurized. If you open the radiator cap
when the coolant is hot, it could spray out and
severely burn you or bystanders.
Allow the engine to cool for at least 15 minutes
before opening the radiator cap.
Caution
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, set the parking
brake, stop the pump, stop the engine, and remove the
ignition key.
2. When the engine is cool, remove the radiator cap
(Fig. 7) and check the coolant level.

14
The coolant should be 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches (2 to 4 cm)
below the bottom of the filler neck.

Figure 7
1. Radiator cap
3. If the coolant is low, add a solution of 50% water and
50% permanent ethylene glycol antifreeze.
Important Do not use water only or an
alcohol/methanol based coolant.
4. Install and secure the radiator cap.
Checking the Hydraulic Fluid
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, set the parking
brake, stop the pump, stop the engine, and remove the
ignition key.
2. Clean the area around the hydraulic oil tank cap and
remove it (Fig. 8).
Important Be very careful not to get dirt or other
contaminants into the opening when checking the oil.

Pre-Starting Checks
Check the following items each time you begin using the
sprayer for the day:
•Check the tire pressure.
Note: These tires are different than car tires; they
require less pressure to minimize turf compaction and
damage.
•Check all fluid levels and add the appropriate amount of
specified fluids, if any are found to be low.
•Check the brake pedal operation.
•Ensure that the lights are working.
•Turn the steering wheel to the left and right to check
steering response.
•With the engine off, check for oil leaks, loose parts, and
any other noticeable malfunctions.
If any of the above items are not correct, notify your
mechanic or check with your supervisor before taking the
sprayer out for the day. Your supervisor may want you to
check other items on a daily basis, so ask what your
responsibilities are.

New Sprayer Break-In
To provide proper performance and long sprayer life,
follow these guidelines for the first 100 operating hours:
•Check the fluid and engine oil levels regularly and be
alert for indications of overheating in any component of
the sprayer.
•After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about
15 seconds before accelerating.
•Avoid hard braking situations for the first several hours
of new sprayer break-in operation. New brake linings
may not be at optimum performance until several hours
of use has caused the brakes to become burnished
(broken-in).
•Avoid racing the engine.
•Vary the sprayer speed during operation. Avoid fast
starts and quick stops.
•Refer to the Maintenance section for any special low
hour checks.
Transporting the Sprayer
