Taking Proper Turf
Care Precautions while
Operating in Stationary
Modes
Important:
Under some conditions, heat from the
engine, radiator, and muffler can damage grass
when operating the sprayer in a stationary mode.
Stationary modes include tank agitation, hand
spraying with a spray gun, or using a walking
boom.
Use the following precautions:
•
Avoid stationary spraying when conditions are
very hot and/or dry, as turf can be more stressed
during these periods.
•
Avoid parking on the turf while stationary spraying.
Park on a cart path whenever possible.
•
Minimize the amount of time the machine is left
running over any particular area of turf. Both time
and temperature affect how much the grass may
be damaged.
•
Set the engine speed as low as possible to
achieve the desired pressure and flow. This
minimizes the heat generated and the air velocity
from the cooling fan.
•
Allow heat to escape upward from the engine
compartment by raising the seat assemblies during
stationary operation rather than being forced out
under the vehicle.

Spraying Tips

•
Do not overlap areas that you have previously
sprayed.
•
Watch for plugged nozzles. Replace all worn or
damaged nozzles.
•
Use the master section switch to stop the spray
flow before stopping the sprayer. Once it stops,
use the engine-throttle control 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 spray sections on.

Unclogging a Nozzle

If a nozzle becomes clogged while you are spraying,
clean the nozzle as follows:
1. Stop the sprayer on a level surface, shut off the
engine, and engage the parking brake.
2. Set the master section switch to the O
and then set the sprayer-pump switch to the
O position.

3. Remove the clogged nozzle and clean it using a
spray bottle of water and a toothbrush.
4. Install the nozzle.

Selecting a Nozzle

Note:
Refer to the nozzle-selection guide that is
available through your Authorized Toro Dealer.
The turret bodies can accept up to 3 different nozzles.
To select the desired nozzle perform the following:
1. Stop the sprayer on a level surface, shut off the
engine, and engage the parking brake.
2. Set the master section switch to the O
and set the spray-pump switch to the O
position.
3. Rotate the turret of the nozzles in either direction
to the correct nozzle.
4. For machines operated in the application rate
mode, perform a flow calibration; refer to the
Software Guide for the Multi Pro 5800-D and
5800-G turf sprayers with ExcelaRate spray
system.
