Filling the Fuel Tank
Fuel tank capacity:
approximately 45 L (12 US
gallons).
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, engage
the parking brake, shut off the spray pump, shut
off the engine, remove the key, and allow the
engine to cool.
2.
Clean the area around the fuel-tank cap (

Fuel-tank cap
3.
Remove the fuel-tank cap.
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 46)
for any special,
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
FF
position
and set the spray-pump switch to the O
FF
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.

*The mesh size of the suction filters in this table
are based on spray chemicals or solutions with the
viscosity equivalent to water.
Important:
When you spray with higher viscosity
(thicker) chemical products or solutions with
wettable powders, you may need to use a coarser
screen mesh for the optional suction filter; refer
to
.
