Breaking In A New Machine; Preparing The Sprayer - Toro Multi Pro 5800-D Operator's Manual

4. Fill the tank to about 2.5 cm (1 inch) below the
top of the tank (bottom of the filler neck).
Note:
This air space in the tank allows fuel to
expand. Do not overfill the tank.
5. Install the fuel-tank cap to the tank securely.
6. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.

Breaking in a New Machine

Service Interval: After the first 100 hours—To provide
proper performance and long
sprayer life, follow these guidelines
for the first 100 operating hours:
•
Check the engine-oil and fluid levels regularly
and be alert for indications of overheating in any
component of the sprayer.
•
After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about
15 seconds before accelerating.
•
Avoid racing the engine.
•
Vary the sprayer speed during operation. Avoid
fast starts and quick stops.
•
Refer to Maintenance (page 47)
low-hour checks.

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.

Important:
(thicker) chemical products or solutions with
wettable powders, you may need to use a coarser
