Operation
Before Operation
CAUTION
Chemicals are hazardous and can cause
personal injury.
• Read the directions on the chemical labels
before handling the chemicals and follow
all manufacturer recommendations and
precautions.
• Keep chemicals away from your skin.
Should contact occur, wash the affected
area thoroughly with soap and clean water.
• Wear goggles and any other protective
equipment recommended by the chemical
manufacturer.
During Operation
Raising and Lowering the
Eductor
Lowering the Eductor
1.
Unlatch the rubber transport strap.
2.
Place one hand on the lower handle and the
other hand on the upper handle.
3.
Lift the eductor away from the vehicle until the
spring clamp disengages.
4.
Guide the eductor as it lowers to the operation
position.
Raising the Eductor
1.
Lift the lower handle to raise the eductor while
slightly tipping it toward the tank.
2.
Guide the tongue under the cross bar with the
welded tab in the upper portion of the frame
assembly.
3.
Pivot the assembly toward the tank, taking care
to line up the spring clamp with the large pivot
housing in the lower portion of the frame.
4.
Push until the clamp snaps over the pivot
housing.
5.
Secure the handle with the transport strap.
Protecting the Turf when
Operating a Stationary
Machine
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 mixing, agitation, hand spraying, or using a
walking boom.
Take 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 the machine on the turf while
stationary spraying. Park the machine on a cart
path whenever possible.
•
Minimize the amount of time that 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.
Note:
Use a heat shield blanket underneath the
vehicle during stationary operation for additional heat
protection. Contact your authorized Toro distributor to
obtain a Toro heat shield blanket kit for turf sprayers.
Using the Eductor
The following procedure assumes the following
operational states exist for the standard tank agitation:
the sprayer is started and running, the pump is
engaged and set to the desired pressure, and the
throttle is in the mid-range position.
Starting the Eductor
1.
Close the eductor valve, hopper valve, rinse
valve, and drain valve before starting the
eductor.
2.
Lower the eductor; refer to
(page
14).
3.
Open the lid to check for foreign objects which
may hinder performance or contaminate the
system.
Clean the hopper as needed.
4.
Close and lock the lid by turning it clockwise.
