Operating Procedure - Toro 09801 Operator's Manual

dence in the performance of the Hydroject 3000.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

1. Make sure the wires are installed on the spark plugs and the
fuel shut-off valve is open.
2. Uncoil a garden hose making sure there are no kinks or
bends in the hose. Lay out the hose so there are no obstruc-
tions between the machine and the area to be aerated. Turn
on the water supply to purge any air from the hose. Turn off
the water.
3. Connect the hose adapter (Fig. 8) to the garden hose, then
connect the adapter to the quick coupler on the side of the
machine.
4. Turn on the water supply and check the water pressure. The
water pressure must be at least 207 kPa. If system pressure
is not 207 kPa, make sure your hose is not kinked or
obstructed, the water supply is turned on or if the water fil-
ter is plugged.
5. Reach under the fuel tank and press the bleed button on the
top of the water filter head (Fig. 9). Hold the bleed button
down until all air is purged from the filter and water comes
out the opening.
6. Reach under the hood and open the bleed valve on the main
valve at rear of the machine (Fig. 10). Bleed the system
until a steady flow of water comes from the outlet, then
close the valve.
7. If desired, the valve on the pre-filter (Fig. 11) may be
opened slightly (cracked) to provide continuous flushing
during machine operation.
8. Start the engine: refer to Starting/Stopping instructions.
Move the throttle to the FAST position and disengage the
parking brake.
9. Engage the traction bail and approach the area to be aerat-
ed. Make sure there are no obstructions between the aerator
and water supply.
10. Engage and hold the transport/aerate toggle switch to fully
lower the machine onto rollers, release the switch when
fully lowered, then press the engagement button to start
water injection.
