Safety • Use extra care when handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Improper use or maintenance of the machine can result in injury or death. To reduce the potential for injury or death, comply with the following safety instructions.
the nozzle opening and don’t direct discharge toward bystanders. • Use a damp cloth to keep units clean. Remove mud, concrete, dirt, etc. after use to prevent obstructing or clogging the buttons, levers, wiring, and switches. • Do not operate the machine under the influence of alcohol or drugs. • Do not allow liquid to enter the remote control or base unit enclosures. Do not use high pressure equipment to clean the remote control or base unit. • Lightning can cause severe injury or death.
have an Authorized Toro Distributor check the maximum engine speed with a tachometer. • The engine must be shut off before checking the oil or adding oil to the crankcase. • Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If possible, do not make adjustments with the engine running. • Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away from spark and flames. Unplug charger before connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools.

Operation DANGER In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark which can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. • Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times. Filling the Fuel Tank 1. Shut the engine off. 2. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap and remove the cap (Figure 9). Note: The fuel tank cap contains a gauge which shows the fuel level.
2 3. Rotate the engine ignition key to the “START” position and quickly release it to the “ON” position. This wakes up the receiver (Figure 11). 1 Note: If the key was left in the on position for an extended time, move the key to the off position before proceeding to the starting procedure. 3 4. On the remote, use the following sequence to start the engine: Note: Using this sequence prevents the remote from accidentally starting the engine. G020713 Figure 11 • Press the START button. 1.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision. 3 1 • Reduce your speed when making sharp turns and when turning on hillsides • Before backing up, look to the rear and ensure that no one is behind the machine. • Do not run the engine in or direct the blower nozzle into a confined area without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and could possibly be deadly. g020741 2 Figure 12 1.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 8 hours • Check condition and tension of belt After the first 10 hours • Check the torque of the wheel lug nuts Before each use or daily • Check the engine oil level. • Clean the engine screen and the oil cooler. • Check the nozzle clamp and the nozzle guides Every 25 hours • Clean the foam air filter element and check the paper element for damage.
Daily Maintenance Checklist Duplicate this page for routine use. Maintenance Check Item For the week of: Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. Check the instrument operation Check the fuel level. Check the engine oil level. Clean the engine air cooling fins. Inspect the air filter pre-cleaner. Check any unusual engine noises. Check for fluid leaks. Check the tire pressure. Check nozzle mounting clamp torque Touch-up damaged paint.
Servicing the Air Cleaner 1. Wash the foam pre-filter in liquid soap and warm water. When clean, rinse it thoroughly. 2. Dry the pre-filter by squeezing it in a clean cloth (do not wring). 3. Put one or two ounces (29.6 or 59.1 ml) of oil on the pre-filter (Figure 14). Service Interval: Every 25 hours—Clean the foam air filter element and check the paper element for damage. Every 100 hours—Replace the paper air filter element.
Servicing the Carbon Canister Filters 2. Move the spring-type hose clamps on both sides of the carbon canister purge-line filter away from the filter (Figure 17). Replacing the Carbon Canister Air Filter Service Interval: Every 200 hours (Service more frequently if conditions are extremely dusty or sandy) 1. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 2. Disconnect the hose from the carbon canister air filter (Figure 16). 2 3.
Checking the Engine Oil Level 4. Place a pan below the drain. Rotate oil drain valve to allow oil to drain (Figure 20). Service Interval: Before each use or daily Note: A hose may be inserted onto the drain valve to direct the oil flow. The hose is not included with the machine. Note: The best time to check the engine oil is when the engine is cool before it has been started for the day. If it has already been run, allow the oil to drain back down to the sump for at least 10 minutes before checking.

Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket on the replacement filter (Figure 21). 4. Install the replacement oil filter to the filter adapter, turn the oil filter clockwise until the rubber gasket contacts the filter adapter, then tighten the filter an additional 2/3 to 1 turn (Figure 21). 5.
Important: Always replace the spark plugs when it has a black coating, worn electrodes, an oily film, or cracks. 2. Check the gap between the center and side electrodes (Figure 23). Bend the side electrode (Figure 23) if the gap is not correct. 3. Squeeze the ends of the hose clamps together and slide them away from the filter (Figure 25). Removing the Spark Plugs 1. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 2.
Cleaning the Engine Screen and the Oil Cooler 1 Service Interval: Before each use or daily Before each use, check and clean the engine screen and oil cooler. Remove any build up of grass, dirt or other debris from the oil cooler and engine screen (Figure 26). G017855 Figure 28 Figure 26 1. Nozzle guides 1. Engine screen 2.
Electrical Maintenance 1 Important: Before welding on the machine, disconnect the controller and the negative cable from the battery to prevent damage to the electrical system. 2 Charging the Battery DANGER 3 Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a deadly poison and causes severe burns. 4 • Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect your hands.
Fusible Link 2. Connect a 3 to 4 amp battery charger to the battery posts (Figure 31). Charge the battery at a rate of 3 to 4 amperes for 4 to 8 hours. A fusible link is incorporated into the machines wiring. It is a grey wire located below the in line fuse. Waste Disposal Engine oil, engine and remote batteries are pollutants to the environment. Dispose of these according to your state and local regulations. Figure 31 WARNING Charging the battery produces gasses that can explode.
Storage 10. Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces. Paint is available from your Authorized Service Dealer. 1. Turn the key to off. Remove spark plug wire. Remove the key. 2.
