would provide increased life to the sprayer, use this
alternative formulation.
As always, remember to clean your sprayer thoroughly
after all applications. This will do the most to ensure
your sprayer has a long and trouble free life.

Filling the Fresh Water Tank

Always fill the fresh water tank with clean water before
handling or mixing any chemicals.
The fresh water tank is located at the rear, left side of
the tank (Figure 19). It supplies a source of fresh water
for you to wash chemicals off of your skin, eyes, or
other surfaces in the case of accidental exposure.
To open the fresh water tank spigot, turn the lever on
the spigot.

Filling the Spray Tank

Important: Ensure that the chemicals you will
be using are compatible for use with Viton (see
the manufacturer's label; it should indicate if it
is not compatible). Using a chemical that is not
compatible with Viton will degrade the O-rings in
the sprayer, causing leaks.
Important: The tank markings are for reference
only and cannot be considered accurate for
calibration.
1. Stop the sprayer on a level surface, move the range
selector to the Neutral position, stop the engine,
and set the parking brake.
3. Spigot
2. Determine the amount of water needed to mix the
amount of chemical you need as prescribed by the
chemical manufacturer.
3. Open the tank cover on the spray tank.
The tank cover is located in the center of the top
of the tank. To open it, turn the front half of the
cover counterclockwise and swing it open. You
can remove the strainer inside for cleaning. To seal
the tank, close the cover and rotate the front half
clockwise.
4. Add 3/4 of the required water to the spray tank
using the anti-siphon fill receptacle.
Important: Always use fresh clean water in
the spray tank. Do not pour concentrate into
an empty tank.
5. Start the engine and move the throttle lever to a
higher idle.
6. Set the pump switch to the On position.
7. Set the agitation switch to the On position.
Important: Prior to introducing wettable
powders into any Toro Spray System mix the
powders in a suitable container with sufficient
fresh water to create a free flowing slurry. Best
results may be obtained by using warm water.
Failure to do so may result in chemical deposits
on the bottom of the tank, degraded agitation,
clogging of filters and improper agitation rates.
8. Add the proper amount of chemical concentrate to
the tank, as directed by the chemical manufacturer.
9. Add the remaining water to the tank.

Operating the Booms

The boom lift switches on the sprayer control panel
allows you to move the booms between transport
position and spray position without leaving the
Operator's seat. It is recommended to change boom
positions while the machine is stationary.
To change the boom position:
1. Stop the sprayer on level ground.
2. Use the boom lift switches to lower booms. Wait
until the booms reach the full, extended spray
position.
3. When the booms need to be retracted, stop the
sprayer on level ground.
4. Use the boom lift switches to raise the booms. Raise
the booms until they have moved completely into
boom transport cradle forming the "X" transport
position and the boom cylinders are fully retracted.
