Operation
WARNING
Fluid under pressure can penetrate skin and cause
injury.
• Keep your body and hands away from nozzles
that eject high pressure fluid.
• Do not aim the sprayer at any person or animal.
• Ensure that all fluid hoses and lines are in good
condition and all connections and fittings are
tight before applying pressure to the system.
• Use cardboard or paper to find leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the system before
performing any work on it.
• Get immediate medical help if fluid is injected
into the skin.
• Hot liquids and chemicals can cause burns or
other harm.
Turf Care Precautions while
Operating in Stationary Modes
Important: Under some conditions, heat from the
engine, radiator, and muffler can potentially damage the
grass when operating the sprayer in a stationary mode.
Stationary modes include tank agitation, hand spraying,
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 will minimize the heat
generated and the air velocity from the cooling fan.
•
Allow heat to escape upward from the engine
compartment by raising the engine guard/seat assemblies
during stationary operation rather than being forced out
under the vehicle. Refer to your Operator's Manual for
more information on raising the seat assemblies.
Note: Use a heat shield blanket underneath the vehicle
during stationary operation if you desire additional heat
protection. Contact an Authorized Toro Dealer to obtain a
Toro heat shield blanket kit for turf sprayers.
