System Start Up _________________________________________________________

The following is a recommended procedure that will protect system components during system start-up. The procedure is based on a velocity fill rate of less than 2' (.61 m) per second. See Table 3 below.

WARNING

NEVER STAND OR LEAN OVER THE SPRINKLER WHILE THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS BEING FILLED, DURING MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC OPERATION OR WHEN PERFORMING SPRINKLER SERVICE PROCEDURES. DIRECT CONTACT WITH IRRIGATION SPRAY, A FAILED OR IMPROPERLY INSTALLED SPRINKLER CONNECTION OR SPRINKLER COMPONENTS FORCIBLY EJECTED UPWARD UNDER PRESSURE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

1. Use a jockey pump only to fill the system at a velocity fill rate of less than 2' (0.61 m) per second.

CAUTION: Failure to comply with recommended fill rate will increase line pressure resulting in a water hammer effect that could damage sprinklers and piping components. See Warning above.

2.At all tees and greens use quick coupler keys with quick coupler valves to bleed air from the system lines during the filling process. For best results, do not compress air and then relieve it – bleed the air constantly while filling the system.

3.After water has filled all lines and all air is removed, remove the quick coupler keys.

Pilot Valve Operation (Electric Models Only) ________________________________________

The pilot valve controls the operation of the main valve located in the base of the sprinkler body. The main valve is operated by the release of water metered through the pilot valve when it is activated either manually at the sprinkler or by the irrigation system controller.

The pilot valve regulates the water pressure to the sprinkler nozzle. Pressure regulation compensates for large variations within the system and maintains a constant pressure for optimum sprinkler operation. The pilot valve is factory set to regulate one of four pressure levels: 50 psi (3.4 bar), 65 psi (4.5 bar), 80 psi (5.5 bar) or 100 PSI (6.9 bar).

The sprinkler operation mode is set using a Toro Selector Tool (P/N 995-15) inserted through the body flange onto the pilot valve D- shaped selector cam. The "AUTO" mode permits automatic operation from the system controller. The "ON" mode opens the main valve for manual operation and "OFF" mode prevents the main valve from opening.

Troubleshooting _________________________________________________________

■Pilot Valve

Possible equipment failures with causes and corrective action are listed below.

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE – CORRECTIVE ACTION

SPRINKLER WILL

(a) No 24 VAC to coil assembly. (Electric Models)

NOT TURN ON

– Measure voltage with a Digital Volt Meter (DVM). Check wiring and controller program.

 

– Refer to Controller Operating Instructions.

 

(b) Selector cam in "OFF" position.

 

– Set to "AUTO" position.

 

(c) Debris in pilot valve assembly.

 

– Disassemble and remove all debris. (See Servicing Pilot Valve page 11.)

 

(d) Insufficient pressure in controller supply line and/or sprinkler control tube. (N.C. Models)

 

– Check pressure.

SPRINKLER WILL

(a) Constant 24 VAC from controller. (Electric Models)

NOT SHUT OFF

– Check for voltage using a DVM. If voltage is present, disconnect wire.

 

If sprinkler closes, service controller. Refer to Controller Service Manual.

 

(b) Selector cam in manual "ON" position.

 

– Set to "AUTO" or "OFF" position.

 

(c) Debris in pilot valve assembly.

 

– Disassemble and remove all debris. (See Servicing Pilot Valve page 11.)

 

(d) Constant pressure from controller. (N.C. Models)

 

– Check pilot valve at controller for constant flow.

 

– Check elevation differential. Valve elevation should not exceed 0' above

 

controller elevation or 70' (21.3 m) below controller elevation.

Enhanced with Toro’s patented Smart Speed Technology, the operator can easily adjust the speed without compromising cutting performance, allowing for precise control when navigating tight spaces or around obstacles.

Similarly, the Toro 830S offers impressive performance with its own high-powered engine while providing a slightly more compact design. The 830S features a 52-inch cutting deck, which is excellent for smaller properties or areas with constrained access. Its agility and responsiveness make it a favorite among landscapers who need to manage intricate landscapes without sacrificing speed or cutting quality.

Both models integrate Toro’s patented Zero Turn technology, enabling the mowers to pivot within their own footprint, significantly reducing the time spent maneuvering around obstacles. This makes them particularly effective in complex environments, where traditional mowers may struggle.

User ergonomics are a top priority, with both mowers featuring comfortable seating and intuitive control layouts. This attention to operator comfort minimizes fatigue during long hours of operation, allowing landscapers to maximize productivity without compromising personal well-being.

Fuel efficiency is another area where the Toro 850S and 830S shine. Their engines are engineered for reduced emissions and optimized fuel consumption, making them environmentally friendly while also cutting operation costs over time.

Maintenance is simplified through a modular design that allows for easy access to vital components. This means that regular upkeep can be done quickly, ensuring that both the 850S and 830S remain in peak operating condition with minimal downtime.

In summary, the Toro 850S and 830S mowers are exceptional choices for professionals needing reliable, powerful, and efficient tools for their landscaping needs. Their combination of innovative technologies, operator-friendly features, and robust construction ensures that they stand out in the competitive market of commercial ride-on mowers.
