Compressed spring dimension—4 cm (1-1/2 inches) 2. Jam nut No Parts Required Procedure Important: Operating the spray system with the section-hinge springs under the incorrect compression could damage the boom assembly. Measure the springs and use the jam nut to compress the springs to 4 cm (1-1/2 inches) if necessary. The sprayer is shipped with the section extensions swung forward to facilitate shipping the machine. The springs are not fully tightened at the time of manufacture to allow the sections to be in this position for transit. Before operating the machine, the springs must be adjusted to the correct compression. 1. If necessary, remove the packing components that secure the right and left extension sections during shipping. 2. Support the sections while they are extended to the spray position. 3. At the section hinge, measure the compression of the upper and lower springs while the sections are in their extended position (Figure 4). A. All springs must be compressed until they measure 4 cm (1-1/2 inches). B. Use the jam nut to compress any spring that measure greater than 4 cm (1-1/2 inches). 12 4. Repeat the procedure for each spring on both section hinges. 5. Move the sections into the transport ‘X’ position. See Positioning the Spray Sections (page 33) for more information.

When the range selector is in the NEUTRAL position, you can use the accelerator pedal to speed up the engine, then push the switch below the InfoCenter forward to set the engine at that speed. This is necessary to run the chemical agitation while stationary or operating attachments such as the hand sprayer (Figure 7). Boom-Section Lift Switches Important: The range selector must be in the The boom-section lift switches are located on the control panel and are used to raise the outer boom sections. NEUTRAL position and the parking brake must be set for the switch to work. Fuel Gauge Hour Meter The fuel gauge is located on top of the fuel tank, on the left side of the machine, and shows the amount of fuel in the tank. The hour meter indicates the total number of hours the engine has run. This number is displayed on the 17 Section-Bypass Shutoff Valve first screen of the InfoCenter. The hour meter starts to function whenever the key is turned to the RUN position. The section bypass shutoff valve redirects the fluid flow for a section to the tank when you turn off the section. You can adjust the section bypass to ensure that the section pressure remains constant no matter how many sections are on. Refer to Adjusting the Section Bypass Valves (page 28). Foam-Marker Switch Locations (Optional) If you install the Foam Marker kit, you will add switches to the control panel for controlling their operation. The sprayer comes with plastic plugs in these locations. Agitation Valve This valve is located on the rear of the tank (Figure 10). When agitation is on, the flow is directed through the agitation nozzles in the tank. When agitation is off, the flow is directed through the pump suction. Regulating (Rate-Control) Valve This valve, located behind the tank (Figure 10), controls the amount of fluid routed to the sections or the rate return to the tank. Pressure Gauge The pressure gauge is located on the control panel (Figure 7). This gauge shows the pressure of the fluid in the system in psi and kPa. InfoCenter LCD Display The InfoCenter LCD display shows information about your machine and battery pack, such as the current battery charge, the speed, diagnostics information, and more (Figure 7).

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 machine on a level surface. 2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag (Figure 11). 3. Insert the dipstick into the tube and make sure that it is seated fully. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. Use an unleaded-gasoline blend with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same. Ethanol blended fuel Gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for use. Never use gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol). Using unapproved gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine damage which may not be covered under warranty. Important: For best results, use only clean, fresh fuel (less than 30 days old). • Do not use gasoline containing methanol. • Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers over the winter unless you use a fuel stabilizer. • Do not add oil to gasoline. Filling the Fuel Tank The fuel tank capacity is approximately 19 L (5 US gallons). g023037 Figure 11 1. Filler cap 4.

Make all necessary repairs before resuming operation. During Operation Safety • Slow down and use caution when making turns General Safety and crossing roads and sidewalks with the machine. Always yield the right-of-way. • The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible • • • • • • • • • • • • • • for accidents that may cause personal injury or property damage. Wear appropriate clothing, including eye protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose jewelry. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as directed in Chemical Safety. Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur. Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Do not carry passengers on the machine. Operate the machine only in good visibility. Avoid holes or hidden hazards. Before you start the engine, ensure that you are in the operating position, the transmission is in the NEUTRAL position (manual) or the PARK position (automatic), and the parking brake is engaged. Remain seated whenever the machine is in motion. Keep both hands on the steering wheel whenever possible, and always keep your arms and legs within the operator’s compartment. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision. Before backing up, look rearward and ensure that no one is behind you. Back up slowly. Never spray while people, especially children, or pets are nearby. Do not operate the machine near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge gives way. Reduce the speed when operating on rough terrain, uneven ground, and near curbs, holes, and other sudden changes in terrain. Loads may shift, causing the machine to become unstable. Sudden changes in terrain may cause abrupt steering wheel movement, possibly resulting in hand and arm injuries. Grip the steering wheel loosely around the perimeter, and keep your hands clear of the steering wheel spokes. • Use extra caution when operating the machine on wet surfaces, in adverse weather conditions, at higher speeds, or with a full load. Stopping time and distance increase in these conditions. • Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is running or soon after it has shut off. These areas may be hot enough to cause burns. • Before you leave the operator’s position, do the following: – Park the machine on a level surface. – Shift the transmission into the NEUTRAL position (manual) or the PARK position (automatic). – Engage the parking brake. – Shut off the engine. – Shut off the engine and remove the key (if equipped). – Wait for all movement to stop. • Never run an engine in an area where exhaust gasses are enclosed. • Do not operate the machine when there is the risk of lightning. • Use accessories and attachments approved by Toro only. Rollover Protection System (ROPS) Safety Note: For each machine covered in this Operator’s Manual, a cab installed by Toro is a ROPS. • Do not remove the ROPS from the machine. • Fasten the seat belt and ensure that you can release it quickly in an emergency. Always wear your seat belt. • Check carefully for overhead obstructions and do not contact them. • Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by thoroughly inspecting it periodically for damage and keeping all the mounting fasteners tight. • Maintain and clean the seat belt(s) as necessary. • Replace any damaged ROPS component. Do not repair or alter it. 30 Slope Safety – Liquid loads shift, especially while turning, going up or down slopes, suddenly changing speeds, or while driving over rough surfaces. Shifting loads can cause the machine to tip over. Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and rollover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. You are responsible for safe slope operation. Operating the machine on any slope requires extra caution. • Review the slope instructions listed below for operating the machine on slopes and to determine whether you can operate the machine in the conditions on that day and at that job site. Changes in the terrain can result in a change in slope operation for the machine. • Determine if the slope is safe for machine operation, including surveying the site. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this survey. • Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on slopes. Travel up and down on slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction. If you must turn the machine, turn it slowly and gradually downhill, if possible. Use care when reversing the machine. • Do not operate a machine when you are uncertain about the traction, steering, or stability. • Remove or mark obstructions such as ditches, holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards. Tall grass can hide obstructions. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. • Be aware that operating the machine on wet surfaces, across slopes, or downhill may cause the machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the wheels may result in sliding and a loss of braking and steering. • Use extreme caution when operating the machine near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, water hazards, or other hazards. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or the edge caves in. Establish a safety area between the machine and any hazard. • Use extra care while operating the machine with attachments; they can affect the stability of the machine. • If the engine stalls or you begin to lose momentum while climbing a hill, gradually apply the brakes and slowly back straight down the hill. • Always keep the transmission in gear (if applicable) when you drive the machine down a slope. • Do not park the machine on an incline. • The weight of the material in the tank can change the handling of the machine. To avoid loss of control and personal injury, follow these guidelines: – When operating with a heavy load, reduce your speed and allow for sufficient braking distance. Do not suddenly apply the brakes. Use extra caution on slopes. Radio Clip Use the radio clip to store a hand-held radio while you are driving the machine (Figure 26). g317230 Figure 26 1.

To release the speed lock, toggle the switch to the OFF position, or press the brake or clutch pedal. Shutting Off the Engine Important: Always stop the machine before shifting from a forward gear to reverse or from reverse to a forward gear. Gear 2. 1. Press the clutch and apply the brake to stop the sprayer. 2. Pull the parking-brake lever up and back to set it. 3. Move the range selector out of gear into the NEUTRAL position. 4. Turn the ignition key to the STOP position. 5. Remove the key from the switch to prevent accidental starting. Using the Differential Lock The differential lock increases the traction of the sprayer by locking the rear wheels so that 1 wheel does not spin out. This can help when you have heavy loads to haul on wet turf or slippery areas, going up hills, and on sandy surfaces. It is important to remember, however, that this extra traction is intended for temporary or limited use. Its use does not replace the safe operation, already discussed concerning steep hills and heavy loads. Note: Leaving the ignition switch in the ON position for long periods of time without running the engine will discharge the battery. The differential lock causes the rear wheels to turn at the same speed. When using differential lock your ability to make sharp turns is somewhat restricted and the tires may scuff the turf. Use the differential lock only when needed, at slower speeds and only in first or second gear. Important: Do not attempt to push or tow the machine to get it started. Damage to the drive train could result. Setting the Throttle Lock WARNING Note: You must have the parking brake and spray pump on and the range selector in the NEUTRAL position to set the throttle lock. 1. Press down on the accelerator pedal to obtain the desired engine speed (rpm). 2. Toggle the throttle lock switch on the control panel to the ON position. 3. To release the throttle lock, toggle the switch to the OFF position, or press the brake or clutch pedal. Tipping or rolling the sprayer on a hill will cause serious injury. Setting the Speed Lock • If the differential lock is on when making a sharp turn at a higher speed and the inside rear wheel lifts off the ground, there may be a loss of control which could cause the sprayer to skid. Use the differential lock only at slower speeds. • The extra traction available with the differential lock can be enough to get you into dangerous situations, such as climbing slopes that are too steep to turn around. Be extra careful when operating with the differential lock on, especially on steeper slopes. Note: Before setting the speed lock, you must sit in the operator’s seat with the parking brake off, the pump on, and the range selector in gear. 1. Press down on the accelerator pedal to obtain the desired engine speed. 32 Operating the Sprayer To operate the Multi Pro Sprayer, first fill the spray tank, then apply the solution to the work area, and finally clean the tank. Complete all 3 of these steps in sequence to avoid damaging the sprayer. For example, do not mix and add chemicals in the spray tank at night and then spray in the morning. This would lead to separation of the chemicals and to possible damage to the sprayer components. 3. Set the master-section switch in the OFF position, set the 3 section switches to the ON position. 4. Drive to the location where you will be spraying. 5. Set the master-section switch to the ON position to begin spraying. Note: The InfoCenter shows the sections with the spray on. Note: When the tank is nearly empty, the agitation may cause foaming in the tank. To prevent this, turn the agitation valve off. Alternatively, you can use an anti-foaming agent in the tank. CAUTION Chemicals are hazardous and can cause personal injury. • Read the directions on the chemical labels before handling the chemicals, and follow all manufacturer recommendations and precautions. • Keep chemicals away from your skin. Should contact occur, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and clean water. • Wear goggles and any other protective equipment recommended by the chemical manufacturer. 6. Use the rate switch to adjust and set a target. 7. When finished spraying, set the master-section switch to the OFF position to turn off all sections, then set the pump switch to the OFF position. Positioning the Spray Sections The boom-section lift switches on the sprayer control panel allows you to move the outer spray sections between transport position and spray position without leaving the operator's seat. Whenever possible, stop the machine before changing spray section positions. The Multi Pro Sprayer has been specifically designed to have high durability in order to give it the long sprayer life you need. Different materials have been chosen for specific reasons at different locations on your sprayer to meet this goal. Unfortunately, there is no single material which is perfect for all foreseeable applications. Lowering the Outer-Spray Sections to the Spray Position Some chemicals are more aggressive than others, and each chemical interacts differently with various materials. Some consistencies (e.g., wettable powders, charcoal) are more abrasive and lead to higher-than-normal wear rates. If a chemical is available in a formulation that would provide increased life to the sprayer, use this alternative formulation. 1. Park the machine on a level surface. 2. Use the boom-section lift switches to lower the outer sections. Note: Wait until the outer spray sections reach the full, extended spray position. As always, remember to clean your sprayer thoroughly after all applications. This will do the most to ensure that your sprayer has a long and trouble-free life. Raising the Outer-Spray Sections to the Transport Position Spraying Important: To ensure that your solution remains well mixed, use the agitation feature whenever you have a solution in the tank. For agitation to work, you must have the pump on and the engine running above an idle. If you stop the machine and need agitation, set the parking brake, turn the pump on, press the accelerator pedal to floor, and switch the throttle lock to the ON position. 1. Lower the sections into position. 2. Set the spray-pump switch to the ON position. 1. Park the machine on a level surface. 2. Use the boom-section lift switches to raise the outer spray sections, until they have moved completely into boom-section transport cradles forming the “X” transport position, and the lift cylinders are fully retracted. Important: Release the boom-section lift switch(es) once the outer spray sections have reached the desired position. Running the actuators against the mechanical stops may damage the lift cylinders and/or other hydraulic components. 33 Spraying Tips • Do not overlap areas that you have previously • • • sprayed. Watch for plugged nozzles. Replace all worn or damaged nozzles. Use the master section switch to stop the spray flow before stopping the sprayer. Once it stops, use the engine-throttle control to hold the engine speed up to keep the agitation running. You will obtain better results if the sprayer is moving when you turn the spray sections on. Unclogging a Nozzle If a nozzle becomes clogged while you are spraying, clean the nozzle as follows: 1. Stop the sprayer on a level surface, shut off the engine, and engage the parking brake. 2. Set the master section switch to the OFF position and then set the sprayer-pump switch to the OFF position. 3. Remove the clogged nozzle and clean it using a spray bottle of water and a toothbrush. 4. Install the nozzle. g239336 Figure 27 “X” transport position Important: To prevent damage to the lift cylinder, make sure that the actuators are fully retracted before transporting the machine. After Operation Using the Boom-Section Transport Cradle After Operation Safety The sprayer is equipped with boom-section transport cradles that have a unique safety feature. In the event the spray section accidentally contacts with a low overhead object while in the transport position, you can push the spray section(s) out of the transport cradles. If this occurs, the spray sections come to rest in a near horizontal position to the rear of the machine. While this movement will not damage the spray sections, they should be immediately positioned into the transport cradle. General Safety • Before you leave the operator’s position, do the Important: The spray sections can be damaged by transporting them in any position other than the “X” transport position using the boom transport cradle. • To put the outer spray sections back into the transport cradle, lower the spray section(s) to the spray position and then raise the spray section(s) back to the transport position. Make sure that the lift cylinders are fully retracted to prevent damaging the actuator rod. • • 34 following: – Park the machine on a level surface. – Shift the transmission into the NEUTRAL position (manual) or the PARK position (automatic). – Engage the parking brake. – Shut off the engine and remove the key (if equipped). – Wait for all movement to stop. After you finish operating the machine for the day, wash off all chemical residue from the outside of the machine and ensure that the system has been neutralized and triple rinsed according to the recommendations of the chemical manufacturer(s) and that all the valves have been cycled 3 times; refer to Chemical Safety. Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine in any enclosure. Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water heater or other appliance. Cleaning the Sprayer • Keep all parts of the machine in good working condition and all hardware tightened. • Replace all worn, damaged, or missing decals.

You may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following: WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm—www.p65Warnings.ca.gov. What is Prop 65? Prop 65 applies to any company operating in California, selling products in California, or manufacturing products that may be sold in or brought into California. It mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other reproductive harm. The list, which is updated annually, includes hundreds of chemicals found in many everyday items. The purpose of Prop 65 is to inform the public about exposure to these chemicals. Prop 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals but instead requires warnings on any product, product packaging, or literature with the product. Moreover, a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is in violation of any product safety standards or requirements. In fact, the California government has clarified that a Prop 65 warning “is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is ‘safe’ or ‘unsafe.’” Many of these chemicals have been used in everyday products for years without documented harm. For more information, go to https://oag.ca.gov/prop65/faqs-view-all. A Prop 65 warning means that a company has either (1) evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the “no significant risk level”; or (2) has chosen to provide a warning based on its understanding about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure. Does this law apply everywhere? Prop 65 warnings are required under California law only. These warnings are seen throughout California in a wide range of settings, including but not limited to restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals, and on a wide variety of products. Additionally, some online and mail order retailers provide Prop 65 warnings on their websites or in catalogs. How do the California warnings compare to federal limits? Prop 65 standards are often more stringent than federal and international standards. There are various substances that require a Prop 65 warning at levels that are far lower than federal action limits. For example, the Prop 65 standard for warnings for lead is 0.5 μg/day, which is well below the federal and international standards. Why don’t all similar products carry the warning? • • Products sold in California require Prop 65 labelling while similar products sold elsewhere do not. • • The enforcement of Prop 65 is inconsistent. A company involved in a Prop 65 lawsuit reaching a settlement may be required to use Prop 65 warnings for its products, but other companies making similar products may have no such requirement. Companies may elect not to provide warnings because they conclude that they are not required to do so under Prop 65; a lack of warnings for a product does not mean that the product is free of listed chemicals at similar levels. Why does Toro include this warning? Toro has chosen to provide consumers with as much information as possible so that they can make informed decisions about the products they buy and use. Toro provides warnings in certain cases based on its knowledge of the presence of one or more listed chemicals without evaluating the level of exposure, as not all the listed chemicals provide exposure limit requirements. While the exposure from Toro products may be negligible or well within the “no significant risk” range, out of an abundance of caution, Toro has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover, if Toro does not provide these warnings, it could be sued by the State of California or by private parties seeking to enforce Prop 65 and subject to substantial penalties.
