Remove a check plug from one end of the axle (Figure 12) and make sure that the lubricant is up to the bottom of the hole.
1. Start the engine and raise the cutting units so that the height-of-cut can be changed. Stop the engine and remove the key after the cutting unit is raised. 2. Position the castor wheel axles in the same holes in all castor forks. Refer to the following chart to determine the correct holes for the setting.

2. Check and adjust front and rear tractor tire pressure to 25-30 psi (172-207 kPa). 3. Check and adjust all castor tire pressures to 50 psi (345 kPa). 4. Check charge and counterbalance pressures with engine at high idle using test ports defined in Hydraulic Systems Test Ports.
3. If the inside edge of the side cutting unit is too high relative to the outside edge of the front cutting unit, remove one 1/8 inch shim from the bottom of the front inside castor arm on the side cutting unit (Figure 27).

Checking the Interlock 3. Turn the ignition key to the Run position. The Switches glow indicator will light. 4. When the glow indicator dims, turn the ignition key to the Start position. Release the key immediately when the engine starts and If safety interlock switches are disconnected allow it to return to the Run position.
Pushing or Towing the Machine In an emergency, the machine can be moved forward by actuating the bypass valve in the variable displacement hydraulic pump and pushing or towing the machine. Do not push or tow the machine for more than 1/4 mile (0.4 km). Important: Do not push or tow the machine faster than 2-3 MPH (3-4.8 km/h) because internal transmission damage may occur.
Some points to consider when operating the traction unit, cutting unit, or other implements are the transmission, engine speed, load on the cutting This product is designed to drive objects blades or other implement components, and the into the ground where they lose energy importance of the brakes.

Select the Proper Height-of-Cut Setting to Suit Conditions Remove approximately 1 inch (25 mm) or no more than 1/3 of the grass blade when cutting. In exceptionally lush and dense grass, you may have to raise the height-of-cut to the next setting. Mow at Proper Intervals Under most normal conditions you will need to mow approximately every 4-5 days.

Servicing the Engine Oil and Filter Change the oil and filter initially after the first 50 hours of operation; thereafter change the oil and filter every 150 hours. 1. Remove either drain plug (Figure 49) and let the oil flow into a drain pan. When the oil stops, install the drain plug.
Fuel System Maintenance Servicing the Fuel System Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can cause property damage. • Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the Figure 51 engine is off and is cold.

3. When all of the oil has drained, position the wheel so that the plug hole is at the ten or two o’clock position. 4. Place a drain pan under the brake housing on the other side of the wheel (Figure 59). 5.
1. Measure the center-to-center distance (at axle height) at the front and rear of the steering tires. The front measurement must be 1/4 inch (6 mm) less than the rear measurement. 2. To adjust, loosen the clamps at both ends of the tie rods.
1. Proper tension will allow 3/8 inch (10 mm) deflection when a force of 10 lb is applied on the belt midway between the pulleys. 2. If the deflection is not 3/8 inch (10 mm), loosen the alternator mounting bolts (Figure 64).

Toro recommends a blade pitch arm (Figure 87). Reposition the shims, as of 1/4 inch (6 mm). That is the back of the blade required, to raise or lower the castor wheel plane is 1/4 inch (6 mm) higher than the front.
Servicing the Castor Arm Servicing the Castor Wheels Bushings and Bearings 1. Remove the locknut from the bolt holding the The castor arms have bushings pressed into the castor wheel assembly between the castor fork top and bottom of the tube and after many hours (Figure 89) or the castor pivot arm (Figure 90).
Push the other bearing into the open end of bent. Always use genuine Toro replacement blades the wheel hub to captivate the bearing spacer to be sure of safety and optimum performance.

Inspecting and Sharpening the Cutter Blade(s) A worn or damaged blade can break, and a piece of the blade could be thrown into the operator’s or bystander’s area, resulting in serious personal injury or death. Trying to repair a damaged blade may result in discontinued safety certification of the product.
5. Rotate the blades until the ends face forward and backward. Measure from the floor to the front tip of the cutting edge. Remember this If the blade is allowed to wear, a slot dimension. Then rotate the same blade so will form between the sail and flat part that the opposite end is forward, and measure of the blade (Figure 93).

The muffler may be hot and could cause injury. Be careful while working around the muffler. 2. Start the engine. Plug the normal muffler exit with a block of wood or metal plate so that the exhaust flow will be forced out of the clean-out port.
B. Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with a wire brush and baking soda solution. C. Coat the cable terminals and battery posts with Grafo 112X skin-over grease (Toro Part No. 505-47) or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion. D. Slowly recharge the battery every 60 days for 24 hours to prevent lead sulfation of the battery.
