Stowing The Boom Extensions - Toro 41229 Operator's Manual

5. Turn the Spray Pro selection dial to the Application
Rate position and use the application rate switch to
achieve the desired rate.
Note: The vehicle must be moving for the Spray Pro to
calculate the application rate.
6. Set the master boom switch to the On position to begin
spraying.
Note: When the tank is nearly empty, the agitation may
cause foaming in the tank. In this case, turn the agitation
control valve to the 3 o'clock position to turn it off.
Alternatively, you can use an anti-foaming agent in the
tank.
7. When finished spraying, set the master boom switch to
the Off position to turn off all booms, then disengage
the PTO lever.
Operating Tips
Do not overlap areas that you have previously sprayed.
Watch for plugged nozzles. Replace all worn or
damaged nozzles.
Use the master boom switch to stop the spray flow
before stopping the sprayer. Once stopped, use the
hand throttle, if equipped, 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 booms on.
Watch for changes in the application rate that may
indicate that your speed has changed beyond the range
of the nozzles or there is a problem with the spray
system.
Cleaning the Sprayer
Important You must always empty and clean the
sprayer immediately after each use. Failure to do so may
cause the chemicals to dry or thicken in the lines,
clogging the pump and other components.
1. Stop the sprayer, set the parking brake, place the range
selector in the Neutral position, and turn off the
engine.
2. Use the tank drain knob to drain any unused material
from the tank and dispose of it according to local
codes and the material manufacturer's instructions.
3. Fill the tank with at least 50 US gallons (190 L) of
clean fresh water and close the cover.
Note: You can use a cleaning/neutralizing agent in the
water as needed. On the final rinse, use only clean, clear
water.
4. Start the engine.
5. With the shift lever in the Neutral position, engage the
PTO, and set the hand throttle.
6. Ensure that the agitation control valve is in the On
position.
7. Set the master boom switch and boom switches to the
On positions to begin spraying.
8. Allow all of the water in the tank to spray out though
the nozzles.
9. Check the nozzles to ensure that they are all spraying
correctly.
10. Set the master boom switch to the Off position,
disengage the PTO, and stop the engine.
11. Repeat steps 3 through 10 at least 2 more times to
ensure that the spray system is fully cleaned.
12. Clean the strainer; refer to Cleaning the Suction
Strainer, page 31.
Important
If you used wetable powder chemicals,
clean the strainer after each tank.
13. Using a garden hose, spray off the outside of the
sprayer with clean water.
14. Remove the nozzles and clean them by hand. Replace
damaged or worn nozzles.

Stowing the Boom Extensions

Use the boom restraints to lock the boom extensions in the
X position when you are not spraying.
1. Pivot the left boom extension into the upright position.
Important Do not force the boom extension past the
restraint hook when stowing or you may damage the
extension and nozzles.
2. Push up on the left restraint knob to compress the
spring and extend the hook.
3. With the spring compressed, rotate the hook to catch
the boom extension frame.
4. Release the knob allowing the hook to catch the boom
extension frame and secure it to the boom holder.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 with the right boom extension and
right boom holder.
