Starting The Engine; Driving The Sprayer; Stopping The Engine; New Sprayer Break-In - Toro 41165 Operator's Manual

Note: These tires are different than car tires; they
require less pressure to minimize turf compaction and
damage.
• Check all fluid levels and add the appropriate amount of
specified fluids, if any are found to be low.
• Check the brake pedal operation.
• Check to see that the lights are working.
• Turn the steering wheel to the left and right to check
steering response.
• Check for oil leaks, loose parts, and any other
noticeable malfunctions. Make sure the engine is off
and all moving parts have stopped before checking for
oil leaks, loose parts, and other malfunctions.
If any of the above items are not correct, notify your
mechanic or check with your supervisor before taking the
sprayer out for the day. Your supervisor may want you to
check other items on a daily basis, so ask what your
responsibilities are.

New Sprayer Break-In

To provide proper performance and long sprayer life,
follow these guidelines for the first 100 operating hours:
• Check the fluid and engine oil 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 hard braking situations for the first several hours
of new sprayer break-in operation. New brake linings
may not be at optimum performance until several hours
of use has caused the brakes to become burnished
(broken-in).
• Avoid racing the engine.
• Vary the sprayer speed during operation. Avoid fast
starts and quick stops.
• Refer to the Maintenance section for any special low
hour checks.

Transporting the Sprayer

For moving the sprayer long distances, use a trailer. Secure
the sprayer to the trailer. Figure 17 illustrates the front
tie-down points.
