wire off the spark plug to prevent accidental
starting of the engine.
21. Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight,
and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good
condition before applying pressure to the sys-
tem.
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 with-
in 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 the entire machine is in good con-
dition, 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 main-
tenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, clothing,
and any parts of the body away from the engine
and any moving parts. Keep everyone away.
28. Do not overspeed the engine by changing gover-
nor settings. Maximum engine speed is 3200
rpm. To assure safety and accuracy, have an
Authorized Toro Distributor check maximum
engine speed with a tachometer.
29. The 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

CHECK CRANKCASE OIL
(Fig. 1)
The engine is shipped with 1-3/4 quarts (w/ filter) of
oil in the crankcase; however, the oil level must be
checked before and after the engine is first started.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Pivot the seat upward.
3. Unscrew the dipstick and wipe it with a clean
cloth. Screw the dipstick into the tube and make
sure it is seated fully. Unscrew the dipstick from
the tube and check the level of oil. If the oil
level is low, remove the filler cap from the valve
cover (next to the dipstick) and add enough oil
to raise the level to the FULL mark on the dip-
stick.
4. The engine uses any high-quality detergent oil
having the American Petroleum Institute —
API— “service classification” SE, SF or SG.
Recommended viscosity (weight) is SAE 30.
5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.
IMPORTANT: The dipstick must be fully seated
in the tube to provide proper sealing of the engine
crankcase. Failure to seal the crankcase may
result in engine damage.
IMPORTANT: Check the level of oil every 8
operating hours or daily. Initially, change the oil
after the first 8 hours of operation; thereafter,
under normal conditions, change the oil every 50
hours and the filter every 100 hours. However,
change the oil more frequently when the engine is
operated in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
FILL THE FUEL TANK
Fuel tank capacity is approximately 5.5 gallons.
THE TORO COMPANY STRONGLY RECOM-
MENDS THE USE OF FRESH, CLEAN,
UNLEADED REGULAR GRADE GASOLINE IN
TORO GASOLINE POWERED PRODUCTS.
UNLEADED
9
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.
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 gaso-
line 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 pur-
pose. Since many children like the smell of gas,
keep it out of their reach because the fumes are
explosive and dangerous to inhale.

OVERFILL. Then install cap.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to pre-
vent a fire hazard.
CHECK THE HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM (Fig. 3)
The hydraulic system is designed to operate on
Mobil DTE 26 or equivalent anti-wear hydraulic
fluid. The machine’s hydraulic reservoir is filled at
the factory with approximately 12 quarts of fluid.
However, check the level of hydraulic fluid before
the engine is first started and daily thereafter.

Traction and Stopping Pedal (Fig. 5–6)—The trac-
tion 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 the right foot, depress the top of the pedal to
move forward and bottom of the pedal to move back-
ward or to assist in stopping when moving forward.
Allowing the pedal to move to the neutral position
will stop the machine. Do not rest your heel on
reverse when operating forward (Fig. 6).
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 posi-
tion 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.
IMPORTANT: For maximum pulling power, the
throttle should be in “Fast” position, and the trac-
tion pedal just barely depressed.
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.7)—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 auto-
matically to the RUN position. To shut the engine
off, turn the key counterclockwise to the OFF posi-
tion.
Choke Control (Fig. 7)—To start a cold engine,
close the carburetor choke by moving the choke con-
trol forward to the “CLOSED” position. After the
engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the engine
running smoothly. As soon as possible, open the
choke by pulling upward to the “OPEN” position. A
warm engine requires little or no choking.

machine operation. The hour meter operates whenev-
er the key switch is turned to “ON”.
Ammeter (Fig. 7)—The ammeter indicates the rate
of battery charge or discharge.
Note: During normal operation, there will usually be
slight ammeter needle movement to positive side.
Lift Lever (Fig.7)—To raise the implement, pull the
lever up; to lower 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 cylin-
der. Down pressure can be applied to the implement
for certain operating conditions.

STARTING/STOPPING ENGINE
1. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and
make sure the pedal is in the neutral position.
2. Push the choke forward 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 turn 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. Shut the engine off and
check for oil leaks, loose parts and any other
noticeable 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 switch to prevent accidental
starting.
6. Close the fuel shut-off valve before storing the
machine.
CHECK THE TRACTION INTER-
LOCK SYSTEM
The interlock system prevent s the engine from crank-
ing or starting unless the traction pedal is in “NEU-
TRAL”.
1. Check interlock operation in an open area free of
debris and bystanders. Stop the engine.
2. Sit on the seat. Depress the traction pedal in for-
ward and reverse directions, while trying to start
the engine. If the engine cranks,there may be a
malfunction in the interlock system. Repair
immediately. If the engine does not crank, the
system is operating correctly.
TOWING THE SAND PRO
In case of emergency, the SAND PRO can be towed
for a short distance. However, Toro does not recom-
mend this as a standard procedure.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow the machine faster than
2-3 mph because drive system may be damaged. If
the machine must be moved a considerable dis-
tance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
1. Remove the (3) screws securing the side panel
from the left side of the machine and remove the
panel.
2. Rotate by-pass valve on pump counterclockwise
until it is fully open (Fig.11).
3. Before starting the engine, close the by-pass valve
securely by turning it clockwise. Do not exceed
5–8 ft-lßb torque. Do not start the engine when the
valve is open.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
1. Only 8 hours operating time is required for the
SAND PRO break-in period.
Shut off the engine and wait for all moving
parts to stop before checking for leaks, loose
parts and other malfunctions.
CAUTION
Operation
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 operat-
ing. If the switch is defective, re;place it before
operating. Regardless of whether the switch is oper-
ating correctly, replace it every two years to assure
maximum safety. Do not rely entirely on safety
switches—use common sense.
CAUTION

2. The first hours of operation are critical to future
dependability of the machine. Monitor its func-
tions and performance closely so that minor dif-
ficulties, which 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 mal-
function.
OPERATING
CHARACTERISTICS
Practice driving the SAND PRO because its operat-
ing characteristics are different than some utility
vehicles. Two points to consider when operating the
vehicle are transmission and engine speed.
To maintain somewhat constant engine speed,
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 vehi-
cle. Therefore, to transfer maximum power to the
wheels, move the throttle to FAST and slightly
depress the traction pedal. By comparison, maximum
ground speed with no load results when the throttle
is in the FAST position and the traction pedal is
slowly but fully depressed. In summary, always keep
the engine speed high enough to deliver maximum
torque-power-to the wheels.
INSPECTION AND CLEAN-UP
At the completion of operation, after the engine has
cooled, 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 area around the engine
cooling air intake are kept free of debris. After clean-
ing, it is recommended the machine be inspected for
possible hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to
hydraulic and mechanical components.

LUBRICATION
The Sand Pro has (3) grease fittings that must be
lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose
Lithium Base Grease. Lubricate the front wheel
bearing and traction control linkage after every 50
hours of operation. Lubricate the steering shaft
annually.
The bearings and bushings that must be lubricated
are: the front wheel bearing (Fig. 12), the traction
control linkage (Fig. 13) and steering shaft (Fig. 14).
1. Wipe grease fittings clean so foreign matter can-
not enter the bearing or bushing.
2. Pump grease into the bearing or bushing.
3. Wipe up excess grease.
Note: To gain access to the grease fitting on the
traction control linkage (Fig. 13), remove the (3)
screws securing the side panel to the right side
of the machine and remove the panel.
Note: To gain access to the grease fitting on
steering shaft (Fig. 14), remove the (4) screws
and spacers securing the fuel tank to the top of
the machine and raise the front of the tank.
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 ENGINE OIL AND
FILTER
Change the oil initially after the first 8 hours of oper-
ation; thereafter change the oil every 50 hours and
the filter every 100 hours.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and turn the
engine off.
2. Remove the drain plug and let the oil flow into
the drain pan. When the oil stops, install the
drain plug.
3. Remove the oil filter. Apply a light coat of clean
oil to the new filter gasket.
4. Screw the filter on by hand until the gasket con-
tacts the filter adapter, then tighten 1⁄2to 3⁄4turn
further. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
5. Add oil to crankcase, refer to CHECK
CRANKCASE OIL.
6. Dispose of oil properly.
SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER
Inspect the paper element every 100 hours of opera-
tion and replace it when dirty or damaged. Do not
wash the paper element or clean it with compressed
air as damage will occur.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and turn the
engine off.
2. Pivot the seat upward.
3. Remove the knobs and air cleaner cover.
4. Remove the filter and cover plate. Inspect the
filter for cleanliness, ruptures, holes, and tears.
Replace a defective filter element.
Note: With the air cleaner disassembled, check
its 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. Also, make sure the carburetor
breather hose is routed out through the
engine vents.
5. Reinstall the air cleaner and cover plate.
6. Reinstall the air cleaner cover and secure with
knobs.
SERVICING THE REMOTE AIR
CLEANER DUST CUP AND
BAFFLE
Inspect the dust cup and rubber baffle once a week or
every 50 hours operation. However, daily or more
frequent inspection is required when operating condi-
tions are extremely dusty and dirty. Never allow dust
to build up closer than one inch from the rubber baf-
fle.
1. Loosen the thumb screw until the dust cup and
baffle can be removed. Separate the dust cup
and baffle.

2. Dump dust out of the dust cup. After cleaning
the cup and baffle, assemble and reinstall both
parts.
SERVICING THE REMOTE AIR
CLEANER FILTER
Service the air cleaner filter every 100 hours or more
frequently in extreme dusty or dirty conditions by
washing or using compressed air. Replace the ele-
ment after every five cleanings (500 hours) or annu-
ally, whichever comes first.
1. Remove and service dust cup; refer to Servicing
the Dust Cup and Baffle.
2. Remove the wing nut w/gasket and slide the fil-
ter element out of the air cleaner body.
3. Clean the element by washing it in a solution of
filter cleaner (Toro Part No. 27-7220) and water,
or blow dirt out of the filter using compressed
air.
Note: Compressed air is recommended when the ele-
ment must be used immediately after servicing
because a washed element must be dried before it is
used. By comparison, washing the element cleans
better than blowing dirt out with compressed air.
Remember, though, the filter must be washed when
exhaust soot is lodged in the filter pores.
Washing Method
IMPORTANT: Do not remove plastic fin assem-
bly because washing removes dust from beneath
fins.
A. Prepare a solution of filter cleaner and water
and soak the filter element about 15 min-
utes. Refer to directions on the filter clean-
er carton for complete information.
B. After soaking the filter for 15 minutes, rinse
it with clear water. Maximum water pres-
sure must not exceed 40 psi to prevent dam-
age to the filter element.
C. Dry the filter element using warm, flowing
air (160°F max), or allow element to air-dry.
Do not use compressed air or a light bulb to
dry the filter element because damage could
result.
Compressed Air Method
IMPORTANT: Do not remove plastic fin assem-
bly because back-blowing with compressed air
removes dust from beneath fins.
A. Blow compressed air from inside to the out-
side of the dry filter element. Do not exceed
100 psi to prevent damage to the element.
B. Keep the air hose nozzle at least one inch
from the pleated paper, and move the nozzle
up and down while rotating the filter ele-
ment. Inspect the element when dust and
dirt are removed; refer to Inspecting the
Filter Element.
4. Wipe inside of the air cleaner body with a damp
cloth to remove excess dust. Slide the filter into
the air cleaner body and secure it in place with a
wing nut and gasket.
5. Install the dust cup and baffle. Move the thumb
screw behind the air cleaner body and tighten it
securely.
INSPECTING THE FILTER
ELEMENT
1. Place a bright light inside the filter.
2. Rotate the filter slowly while checking for

ADJUSTING THE CARBURE-
TOR AND SPEED CONTROL
IMPORTANT: Before the carburetor and speed
control are adjusted, the throttle and choke con-
trols must be adjusted properly.
1. Pivot the seat upward and secure with the seat
prop rod.
2. Start the engine and let it run at half throttle for
five minutes to warm up.
3. Move the throttle control to SLOW. Hold the
governor lever so the throttle lever is in the idle
position (against idle stop screw) and adjust idle
stop screw to 1750 ± 50 rpm by turning the
screw in or out. Check speed with a tachometer.
4. Turn the idle mixture screw slowly clockwise
(lean mixture) until the engine speed just starts
to decrease. Note the position of the needle.
Now turn the idle mixture screw slowly counter-
clockwise (rich mixture) until the engine speed
just starts to decrease. Note position of the nee-
dle.
Set the screw midway between the rich and lean
