Before Operating Activating and Charging the Battery Warning Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. 1 Figure 2 1. Since the battery is not filled with electrolyte or activated, bulk electrolyte with 1.260 specific gravity must be purchased from a local battery supply outlet. 1. Battery Danger 4.
8. Install the positive cable (rubber boot over end) to the positive (+) terminal and the negative cable (black) to the negative (–) terminal of the battery and secure them with capscrews and nuts. Slide the rubber boot over the positive terminal to prevent a possible short-out from occurring (Fig. 2). Note: If the oil level is at the ADD mark on the dipstick, add 1 quart of oil to raise the oil level to FULL. Do not overfill. 9. Lower the hood and secure the latches.
Note: Toro will not assume responsibility for damage caused by improper substitutions, so use only products from reputable manufacturers who will stand behind their recommendation. Danger In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. Antiwear Hydraulic Fluid, ISO VG 68 Material Properties: Viscosity, ASTM D445 • Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Checking the Pump Case Fluid Level 4. If the fluid level is low, add enough Mobil DTE Extra Heavy oil or equivalent oil to bring the oil up to the proper level. Do not overfill. The pump crank case is filled at the factory with approximately 40 ounces of Mobil DTE Extra Heavy oil. Check the oil level on the dipstick before the engine is first started and daily thereafter. Change the oil initially after 25 hours of operation, thereafter change every 200 hours of operation.
Operation Spray Wash Control Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Pull the handle (Fig. 7) upward to activate the roller spray wash system. Move the control knob up or down to adjust the spray rate to keep the rollers free of debris. Controls Hour Meter Ignition Switch The hour meter (Fig. 7) registers accumulated hours of engine operation. Use the hour meter to determine intervals for service maintenance and lubrication.
5 2 3 Operating Precautions 4 Follow these precautions when operating the aerator: • Before aerating, inspect the work area for debris and determine the best direction and pattern to operate the machine. 1 • If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, shut the engine off. Remove the wires from the spark plugs to prevent the possibility of accidental starting. Check the machine for damaged parts. Repair any damage before restarting the engine and operating the machine.
4. Insert the key into the ignition switch and rotate it clockwise to start the engine. Release the key when the engine starts. Gradually return the choke lever to the OFF position (lever all the way in) after the engine starts and warms up. Important To prevent overheating of the starter motor, do not engage the starter longer than 30 seconds. After 30 seconds of continuous cranking, wait 2 minutes before engaging the starter motor again.
10. Engage and hold the transport/aerate toggle switch to fully lower the machine onto the rollers. Release the switch when the machine is fully lowered; then press the engagement button to start water injection. 6. Reach under the hood and open the bleed valve on the main valve at the rear of the machine (Fig. 11). Bleed the system until a steady flow of water comes from the outlet; then close the valve. Note: The injection operation starts approximately 4–5 seconds after the pump engages.
To do a functional check of interlock system: 1. Position the machine in a flat, open area on rough turf and away from buried wires, plumbing, etc. Stop the engine. 3 2 2. Move the traction bail up and down while trying to start the engine. If the engine cranks, there is a malfunction in the interlock system that must be corrected. If the engine does not crank, proceed to step 3. 1 Figure 13 3. Connect the water supply to the machine. Turn on the water supply and bleed all air out of the system.
Important Do not use chemicals! Concern for environmental issues and corrosive affects on machine components. 1 Figure 14 1.

Servicing the Pre-Filter 4 Sediment can be removed by opening the ball valve, with the water source attached, to flush (Fig. 18). The reusable filter screen may be removed for cleaning by untwisting the clear cover (Fig. 18) from the filter by hand. Replace the clear cover and hand tighten only. Important 3 Use of tools will damage the filter. 1 5 2 1 Figure 19 1. Filter body 2. Filter cartridge 3. Filter head 2 4. Bleed button 5. O-ring 3 3. Unscrew the filter body of the assembly (Fig.
Changing the Engine Oil and Filter For new engines, change the oil after the first 50 operating hours. Thereafter, under normal conditions, change the oil and the filter after every 100 hours of operation. However, an engine operated in dusty or dirty conditions requires more frequent oil changes. If possible, run the engine just before changing the oil. Warm oil flows more freely and carries more contaminants than cold oil. 2 1 1. Position the machine on a level surface. 2.
1. Release the latches and securing the air cleaner cover to the air cleaner body (Fig. 22). 3. Remove and replace the primary filter. Cleaning of the used element is not recommended due to the possibility of damage to the filter media. Inspect the new filter for shipping damage, checking the sealing end of the filter and the body. Do not use a damaged element. 4. Inspect the safety element and replace it if is dirty or damaged. 1 2 1 Figure 22 1. Air cleaner cover 2. Latch 2.
2. Clean the area around the spark plugs (Fig. 25) so that dirt does not fall into the cylinder when the plugs are removed. Important The gear case oil and filter must be changed immediately when any contamination, sludge, water or condensation appears. 1. Disengage the hood latches and open the hood. 2. Place a drain pan under the bottom of the gear case. Clean the area around the drain plug (Fig. 26).
7. Remove the filler cap and add approximately 4–5 quarts of Mobil DTE 26 hydraulic oil or equivalent oil to the gear case reservoir. Install the filler cap. Checking the Hydraulic Lines and Hoses 8. Check for leaks around the oil filter. Tighten the filter only enough to eliminate leaks. Do not overtighten. Check the hydraulic lines and hoses daily for leaks, kinked lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings, weather deterioration, and chemical deterioration.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, adjust as follows: A. Loosen the pivot nut securing the pump mount to the pump support (Fig. 30). 1 3 2 2 3 Figure 31 1 1. Neutral adjustment cam 2. Locknut Figure 30 1. Pump 2. Pivot nut 3. Adjusting nut 3. Switch tab 5. Move the traction bail completely up and down. Release the handle and check for wheel rotation.

Start the engine and run it at idle speed for two minutes. Do not run it for longer than two minutes. Drain system as follows: 5.
Troubleshooting Problem The unit will not move when the traction ball is engaged. The unit will not transport at full speed. The engine dies during startup. Possible Causes Corrective Action 1. Check that motion occurs at the pump pivot plate when the traction ball is moved. 1. Inspect the traction push/pull cable and override assembly under the tiller handle. 2. The oil level in the hydraulic reservoir (gearbox) is low. 2. Replenish, if necessary. 3. Bypass valve is not fully closed. 3.
Problem The engine dies when the water system is engaged. y g g Possible Causes Corrective Action 1. The throttle is in the wrong operating position. 1. Put the throttle in the FAST position when aerating. 2. The engine speed is set incorrectly. 2. Adjust the carburetor fast setting to 3450–3550 RPM. 3. Engine power is low. 3. Fuel is contaminated, there is a plugged fuel filter or air filter, or there is a bad spark plug. 4. Have the system serviced by an Authorized Toro Distributor.
Problem The unit stops aerating in one direction or stops aerating in the lowest hole spacing. Possible Causes Corrective Action 1. The supply hose is kinked, there is a restriction in the line, or the valve at the water source is only partially opened. 1. Correct the condition. 2. There is inadequate water pressure or flow from the source. 2. Check the water pressure (from the water source) at the inlet (8 gpm – 40 psi). 3.
Problem The water injection system is making an unusual noise when aerating. Possible Causes Corrective Action 1. There is air in the system. 1. With the water supply on, open the bleed valve under the accumulator/valve body. If mechanical noise continues during aeration, stop the unit and have it serviced by an Authorized Toro Distributor. 2. A nozzle is missing or there are too many large nozzle installed. 2. Open the bleed valve and examine the nozzles.
