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. Failure to do so may result in
chemical deposits on the bottom of the tank,
degraded agitation, clogging of filters, and
improper agitation rates.
Toro recommends using the approved
Eductor Kit for this machine. Contact your
Authorized Toro Dealer for more information.
7. Add the proper amount of chemical concentrate
to the tank, as directed by the chemical
manufacturer.
8. 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 not moving.
1. Stop the sprayer on level ground.
2. Use the boom-lift switches to lower the booms.
Note:
Wait until the booms reach the
fully-extended spray position.
3. When you need to retract the booms, stop the
sprayer on level ground.
4. Use the boom-lift switches to raise the booms.
Note:
Raise the booms until they have moved
completely into boom transport cradle, forming
the "X" transport position and the boom cylinders
are fully retracted.
Important:
To prevent damage to the
boom-actuator cylinder, ensure that the actuators
are fully retracted before transport.
Important:
Release the actuator switch once
the booms have reached the desired position.
Running the actuators against the stops may
damage the cylinders and/or other hydraulic
components.
Operating the Boom-Transport
Cradle
The sprayer is equipped with a boom-transport cradle
that has a unique safety feature. In the event of
accidental boom contact with a low overhead object
while in the transport position, the boom(s) can be
pushed out of the transport cradles. If this occurs, the
booms will come to rest in a near-horizontal position
position. to the rear of the vehicle. While the booms will not

transporting them in any position other than the
"X" transport position using the boom transport
cradle.
To put the booms back into the transport cradle, lower
the boom(s) to the spray position, and then raise the
boom(s) back into the transport position. Ensure
that the boom cylinders are fully retracted to prevent
actuator rod damage during storage.
