Preparing the Sprayer
Selecting a Nozzle
Note:
Refer to the nozzle-selection guide that is
available through your authorized Toro distributor.
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, remove the key, 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.
Selecting a Suction Filter
Standard Equipment: 50 mesh suction filter (blue)
Use the suction filter table to identify the screen
mesh for the spray nozzles you are using based
on chemicals products or solutions with a viscosity
equivalent to water.

*The mesh size of the suction filters in this table
are based on spray chemicals or solutions with the
viscosity equivalent to water.
Important:
When you spray with higher viscosity
(thicker) chemical products or solutions with
wettable powders, you may need to use a coarser
screen mesh for the optional suction filter; refer
