Water System Accumulator • Use a good, clean, quality water supply in the system. If good quality water is not available, additional filtration equipment may be required. Do not use chemicals in the water system. The Hydroject accumulator contains a high pressure nitrogen gas pre-charge. The safety system on the aerator will disable the water injection if the accumulator pressure is too low or too high, and will illuminate one of the accumulator pressure lights on the operators console.
Water Supply Recommended source with 7-8 gallons per minute. A minimum pressure of 30 p.s.i. at the machine is required for the pump to engage. Maximum allowable pressure of 200 psi. Although irrigation water pumped from ponds or effluent holding pools can be used, not all conditions can be handled by the filtration system. Additional or alternative filtration may be required. Operating Procedure 1. Make sure that the wires are installed on the spark plugs and the fuel shut-off valve is open. Figure 13 1.
down to allow multiple shots while machine is stopped. Important: Hole depths can reach 20 inches or more when stationary or making multiple shots, so be aware of what is buried below the turf. Also, an excessive amount of holes and muddy turf conditions may occur when making multiple shots. 14. To stop water injection, press the red button. The system continues for a few seconds after the button is pressed.
Transport Operation in the interlock system that must be corrected. If the machine does not begin aerating, proceed to step 4. Use the traction bail to slow the machine while crossing undulating terrain to avoid loss of control. The smooth tires do not grip turf very well so use caution when transporting the machine. Always approach rough areas at a reduced speed and cross severe undulations carefully. 4. Lower the machine to the aerate position (on the rollers).
Figure 17 1. Bypass valve 3. Rotate the valve cap counterclockwise, move the machine to the desired location, and close the valve cap. 4. Lower the hood and secure the latches. Important: Do not run any chemicals through the Hydroject water system (except Toro Wetting Agent 86-8530). Chemicals can have corrosive effects on machine components and environmental laws and concerns exist when injecting chemical sub-surface.

Lubricating the Machine The aerator has 5 grease fittings that must be lubricated every 50 hours of operation with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease. Lubricate all fittings immediately after every washing, regardless of the interval listed. The bearings and bushings that must be lubricated are: steering pivot shaft (Figure 18), limit switch housing (Figure 19) (2) lift arm shaft (Figure 19), and neutral pivot shaft (Figure 20). 1.
Servicing the Pre-Filter Sediment can be removed by opening the ball valve, with the water source attached, to flush (Figure 21). The reusable filter screen may be removed for cleaning by untwisting the clear cover (Figure 21) from the filter by hand. Replace the clear cover and hand tighten only. Important: Use of tools will damage the filter. Figure 22 1. Filter body 2. Filter cartridge 3. Filter head 3. Unscrew the filter body of the assembly (Figure 22) counterclockwise (as viewed from the bottom).
Changing the Engine Oil and Filter Service Interval: After the first 50 hours Every 100 hours Change the oil after the first 50 operating hours. Thereafter, under normal conditions, change the oil and the filter after every 100 hours of operation. However, an engine operated in dusty or dirty conditions requires more frequent oil changes. If possible, run the engine just before changing the oil. Warm oil flows more freely and carries more contaminants than cold oil. Figure 24 1. Dipstick 1.
Figure 25 1. Air cleaner cover Figure 27 2. Latch 1. Safety element 2. Remove the cover from the air cleaner body. Before removing the filter (Figure 26), use low pressure air (40 psi, clean and dry) to help remove large accumulations of debris packed between outside of primary filter and the canister. Avoid using high pressure air which could force dirt through the filter into the intake tract. This cleaning process prevents debris from migrating into the intake when the primary filter is removed.
2. Place a drain pan under the bottom of the gear case. Clean the area around the drain plug (Figure 29). Note: When draining the oil, use a funnel or some type of channel to divert the draining oil away from the machine components and into a drain pan. Figure 28 1. Spark plug Figure 29 3. Pull the wires off of the spark plugs and remove the plugs from the cylinder head. 4. Check the condition of the center and side electrodes to determine the operating temperature of the engine.
Checking the Hydraulic Lines and Hoses 8. Check for leaks around the oil filter. Tighten the filter only enough to eliminate leaks. Do not overtighten. 9. Lower the hood and secure the latches. Service Interval: Before each use or daily Changing the Pump Case Oil Check the hydraulic lines and hoses daily for leaks, kinked lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings, weather deterioration, and chemical deterioration. Make all necessary repairs before operating.
Adjusting the Transmission for Neutral If the machine moves when the lever is released, an adjustment to the transmission neutral is required. 1. Park the machine on a level surface, stop the engine, and open the hood. 2. Lift the drive wheel off of the ground using a jack. Block the front and rear of the wheels. 3. Start the engine and release the parking brake. Figure 32 4.
Adjusting the Aeration Speed Adjusting the Parking Brake 1. Park the machine on a level surface, stop the engine, and open the hood. Service Interval: Every 400 hours 1. Remove the screws securing the cover to the underside of the handle (Figure 36). Remove the cover. 2. Put the speed control lever (Figure 35) into the second slot from the left (while facing the control panel). Figure 36 1. Cover Figure 35 1. Speed control lever 2. Lower control rod 2. Handle 2.
Adjusting the Roller Spray Wash System 2. Remove the nozzle and strainer assembly (Figure 39). Clean or replace the strainer and replace it in the nozzle. If the spray wash system (Figure 38) on the rollers needs to be adjusted, proceed as follows: 3. Loosely secure the nozzle and strainer to the fitting with the cap. 4. Rotate the nozzle so that the slot in the tip is parallel to the roller. 5. Tighten the cap and check the adjustment.
Storage 5. Stop the engine; remove the spark plugs. 6. Pour one ounce of clean engine oil into the spark plug holes Preparing the Water System Note: It is very important that the water system be drained to avoid freezing and damaging the components. 7. With the spark plugs removed, crank the engine with the starter for a least 12 revolutions to distribute oil in the cylinders. Drain system as follows: 8. Install the spark plugs. 1.
Troubleshooting Problem The unit will not move when the traction ball is engaged. The unit will not transport at full speed. The engine dies during startup. Possible Cause Corrective Action 1. Check that motion occurs at the pump pivot plate when the traction ball is moved. 1. Inspect the traction push/pull cable and override assembly under the tiller handle. 2. The oil level in the hydraulic reservoir (gearbox) is low. 3. Bypass valve is not fully closed. 4.
Problem The engine is running and the unit is not producing aeration holes (the pump or water valve will not start). Possible Cause 1. The supply hose is kinked, there is a restriction in the line, or the valve at the water source is only partially opened. 1. Correct the condition. 2. There is inadequate water pressure or flow from the source. 2. Check the water pressure (from the water source) at the inlet (8 gpm - 40 psi). 3. Replace the water filter. 3.
Problem The water injection system is making an unusual noise when aerating Possible Cause Corrective Action 1. There is air in the system. 1. With the water supply on, open the bleed valve under the accumulator/valve body. If mechanical noise continues during aeration, stop the unit and have it serviced by an Authorized Toro Distributor. 2. A nozzle is missing or there are too many large nozzle installed. 2. Open the bleed valve and examine the nozzles.
