Preparation Safety • Thoroughly inspect the area where you will use the machine and remove all foreign objects. • Do not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals. • Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating the machine. • Warning: Gasoline is highly flammable. Take the following precautions: – Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. – Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling. – Add fuel before starting the engine.
• Always be sure of your footing on slopes. Maintenance and Storage • Walk; never run. • Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to ensure that the machine is in safe working condition. • Never store the machine with gasoline in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. • Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine in any enclosure. • To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, muffler and gasoline storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

Product Overview Castor Release Lever Controls To release the castor, squeeze the right lever against the hand grip. Once the castor wheel has rotated, the lever can be released (Figure 10). The castor will automatically lock when the wheel returns to the straight position. Ground Speed Control Parking/Service Brake The ground speed control has three speeds forward and one reverse speed. To select speeds, move the control lever to the desired position. (Figure 10).
Primer pump. Use the Off position when paint is in the tank and the paint filter has to be serviced. Do not operate the engine when the flush/paint lever is in the Off position Press in the primer three times before starting a cold engine (Figure 12). Figure 14 1. Flush/Paint Knob Specifications Figure 12 Recoil Starter The recoil starter (Figure 13) is on the top of the engine. Pull the recoil starter to start the engine. Length (including handles) 64 inches (162.
Operation 6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level on the dipstick (Figure 15). Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. 7. If the oil level reading is below the Add mark on the dipstick, slowly pour only enough oil into the filler hole to raise the oil level to the Full mark on the dipstick. Think Safety First Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with oil and run the engine; engine damage will result.
Important: Do not add oil to the gasoline. DANGER Important: Do not use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, premium gasoline, or white gas. Using these fuels can damage the engine’s fuel system. When fueling, under certain circumstances, a static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and damage property. • Always place gasoline containers on the ground and away from your vehicle before filling.
3. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline to within 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) from the top of the tank. Do not fill into the filler neck. 5. Rotate the ignition key to the Start position (Figure 10). 6. Pull the starter handle (Figure 13) lightly until you feel resistance, then pull it sharply. Allow the rope to return to the engine slowly. Important: Do not fill the tank more than 1/4 inch (6 mm) from the top of the tank because the gasoline must have room to expand. 4.
• For best results, pre-mix the paint and water before pouring it into the paint tank. • The paint tank capacity is 12 gallons. Filling the Paint Tank 1. Move the machine to a level surface. 2. Stop the engine, move the speed selector lever to Neutral, engage the parking brake and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. Note: If desired, the engine can be running when filling to keep the paint circulating in the tank.

Figure 27 1. Boom arm stop Adjusting the Spray Pressure The spray pressure may need to be adjusted when changing nozzles, the mix ratio, paint brands or if the temperature changes significantly. Increasing the spray pressure will increase the volume and the velocity of the paint exiting the nozzle. 1. While engaging the spray nozzle, rotate the pressure regulator knob counterclockwise until a reduction in the spray width and uniformity is observed. Figure 28 1. Line marker 2. Inner spray shield 2.
the water tank. The paint is not being agitated in the tank when in the flush mode. Flushing the spray system is recommended whenever the line painter will not be operated for an extended period of time, such as transporting to a different work site. Toro does not recommend leaving paint in the tank overnight. The paint may thicken and clog the lines. 1. Make sure the speed selector lever is in Neutral and the parking brake is engaged. 2. Rotate the flush/paint lever to the Flush position. 3.
Figure 34 1. Pump filter cap Figure 33 1. Flush/Paint Knob Transporting the Line Painter 8. Actuate the paint control lever and lock it open with the locking latch. This will allow the nozzle to flush continuously. To transport the line painter: • Set the parking brake and block the wheels. 9. Rinse paint tank with clean water. A small amount of detergent may be added to the water to speed the cleanup. Continue to fill tank with water until the nozzle sprays clean water.
Figure 36 1. Front tie down Operating Tips • Review the safety instructions and read this manual carefully before operating the machine. • Thoroughly inspect the area where you will use the machine and remove all foreign objects. • Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away from the area of operation. • If the machine starts to vibrate, immediately stop the engine, disconnect the wire from the spark plug and examine the machine for damage. • Do not paint wet grass. Paint only dry grass.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 5 hours • Check the engine mounting fasteners. Tighten them if they are loose. After the first 8 hours • Change the engine oil. Before each use or daily • Check the engine oil level. Every 25 hours • Clean the foam pre-cleaner (more frequently in dusty conditions).

7. Use your finger to coat the new filter gasket with clean engine oil (Figure 39). Figure 40 Figure 39 1. Center electrode insulator 2. Side electrode 3. Air gap (not to scale) 1. Gasket 8. Install the new filter and hand tighten it 2/3 turn only. 6. Install the spark plug and the gasket seal. 9. Fill the crankcase to the Full line on the dipstick with fresh oil. Refer to Checking the Engine Oil Level. 7. Torque the plug to 17 ft-lb (23 N⋅m). 8. Connect the wire to the spark plug. 10.
Belt Maintenance Fuel System Maintenance The drive belts on the line painter have been designed to be very durable. However, the normal exposure to UV radiation, ozone or incidental exposure to chemicals can deteriorate the rubber compounding over time and lead to wear or material loss (i.e. chunking). Emptying the Fuel Tank and Cleaning the Fuel Filter Annual belt inspection is highly recommended for signs of wear, excessive cushion cracks, or large embedded debris with replacement when needed.
Storage Empty the fuel tank when before storing the line painter. 1. Run the line painter until the engine stops from running out of fuel. To prepare the line painter for off-season storage, perform the recommended maintenance procedures. Refer to Maintenance Section in Manual. 2. Prime the engine and start it again. 3. Allow the engine to run until it stops. When you can no longer start the engine, it is sufficiently dry. Store the machine in a cool, clean, and dry place.
Troubleshooting Problem Engine does not start Engine starts hard or loses power Possible Cause 1. The fuel tank is empty or the fuel system contains stale fuel 1. Drain and/or fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If the fuel tank is empty or the fuel system contains stale fuel problem persists, contact an Authorized Service Distributor. 2. The wire is not connected to the spark plug. 3. The spark plug is pitted, fouled, or the gap is incorrect. 2. Connect the wire to the spark plug. 3.
