Every 50 hours of operation, perform the following
maintenance procedure to ensure proper bearing clamp
load. Failure to perform this maintenance procedure can
lead to premature failure of crank shaft assembly resulting
in an extensive repair.
Note: An upgraded crank assembly is available after
January 1, 2005 that does not require this maintenance
procedure. See your Toro distributor for further
information.
