Installation Installing the Castor Wheels on Traction Units with Serial Number 590000 and Below Installing the Castor Wheels on Traction Units with Serial Number 590001 and Above 1. Place two (2) thrust washers onto the castor wheel fork (Fig. 1). 1. Place one (1) thrust washer and the spacer onto the castor wheel fork (Fig. 2). 2. Insert the castor wheel fork into the carrier frame mounting tube (Fig. 1). 2. Insert the castor wheel fork into the carrier frame mounting tube (Fig. 2). 3.
Installation Installing the Carrier Frame to the Traction Unit Installing the Cutting Deck 1. Position the cutting deck under the carrier frame. 1. Align the carrier frame holes with the mounting holes in the traction unit frame (Fig. 3). 2. 2. Fasten each side of the carrier frame to the traction unit with three (3) 1/2”-13 x 1” (25 mm) flange screws and locknuts. Torque the mounting screws to 60–80 ft-lb (81–109 N m) (Fig. 3).
Installation Installing the Drive Belt 6. Thread two (2) 1/2” jam nuts approximately 7” (18 cm) up on each adjusting shaft (Fig. 6). 1. Loosen the hand knob holding the deck cover to the top of the cutting unit and remove the deck cover (Fig. 5). 7. 2. Remove the two hex head flange screws holding the belt guide to the top of the deck and remove the belt guide (Fig. 5). Slide a 1/2” washer, spring and bushing onto each adjusting shaft.
Installation 8. Insert the spring end of the adjusting shaft into the hole in the deck mounting bracket. Note that the small end of the bushing fits into the hole in the deck bracket. Insert the locknut end of the adjusting shaft into the carrier frame mounting tab (Fig. 7). 9.
Operation Side Discharge or Mulch Grass Engaging the Mower Blade (PTO) The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf. The blade control switch (PTO) in conjunction with the blade control bail engages and disengages power to the electric clutch and mower blade. POTENTIAL HAZARD • Without the grass deflector or complete grass catcher assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris. 1.
Operation Adjusting the Height-of-Cut The height-of-cut is adjustable from 1” to 4” (26 to 102 mm), or 2” to 5” (51 to 127 mm) depending on the serial number of the traction unit to which the deck is attached. The height-of-cut is adjustable in 1/2-inch (13 mm) increments by removing the hairpin cotters, then relocating the support rods in different hole locations in the brackets at each corner of the cutting unit (Fig. 4). 2 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 Stop the engine before adjusting the height-of-cut.
Operation Tips for Mowing Grass Fast Throttle Setting Cutting Speed To improve cut quality, use a slower ground speed. For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate the engine at “FAST.” Air is required to thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the height-of-cut so low as to totally surround the mower by uncut grass. Always try to have one side of the mower free from uncut grass, which allows air to be drawn into the mower.
Maintenance Service Interval Chart Service Operation Each Use Cutting Blade – check 8 Hours 25 Storage Hours Service X X Drive Belt – check for wear/cracks X Blade Spindle Bearing – grease X Castor Wheels – grease Mower Housing – clean Notes X X X X Chipped Surfaces – paint Cutting Blade To ensure a superior quality of cut, keep the blade sharp. For convenient sharpening and replacement, you may want to keep extra blades on hand.
Maintenance Checking for a Bent Blade 1. Rotate the blade until the ends face forward and backward (Fig. 11). Measure at the “C” location from a level surface to the cutting edge of the blade (Fig. 12). Note this dimension. POTENTIAL HAZARD • A blade that is bent or damaged could break apart and pieces could be thrown at bystanders or at you as you use the mower. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Pieces of blade that may be thrown could seriously injure or kill you or bystanders.
Maintenance Removing the Blade Sharpening the Blade The blade must be replaced if a solid object is hit, if the blade is out of balance or is bent. To ensure optimum performance and continued safety conformance of the machine, use genuine TORO replacement blades. Replacement blades made by other manufacturers may result in non-conformance with safety standards. 1. Use a file to sharpen the cutting edge at both ends of the blade (Fig. 14). Maintain the original angle.
Maintenance Correcting Cutting Unit Mismatch Setting the Front-to-Rear Pitch 1. Check the traction unit tire pressures. If one side of the cutter blade cuts lower than the other, correct as follows: 2. Position the blade front-to-rear (Fig. 16). Measure at “C” and “D” locations (Fig. 16) from a level surface to the cutting edge of the blades (Fig. 17). 3. The mower should be 1/8”–5/8” (3–16 mm) lower in front “C” than in the rear “D”. 1.
Maintenance 4. 5. To change the front-to-rear pitch, move an equal number of thrust washers on both castor wheel forks. Move the thrust washers from the top of the carrier frame mounting tube to the bottom to raise the front of the mower. Move the thrust washers from the bottom of the mounting tube to the top to lower the front of the mower. (Fig. 18). Setting the Side-to-Side Leveling Check the side-to-side leveling of the cutting unit. 1. Check the traction unit tire pressures. 2.
Maintenance Greasing the Bearings and Bushings Replacing the Drive Belt The cutting unit must be lubricated regularly. Refer to the Service Interval Chart on page 11. Grease with No. 2 general purpose lithium base or molybdenum base grease. 1. 2. Stop the engine, remove the key and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) from the spark plug(s). 1. Stop the engine, remove the key and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) from the spark plug(s). 2.
Maintenance 4. Loosen the jam nuts on the adjusting shafts to relieve the tension on the drive belt, then remove the worn drive belt from the pulleys (Fig. 7). 1 2 4 5 m–2605 3 Figure 23 1. 2. 3. 4. Front Jam Nut Rear Jam Nut Deck Mounting Bracket 4-3/4” (12 cm) between the Washer and Bushing, minus one turn 5. Carrier Frame Mounting Tab 5. Install the replacement drive belt around the drive pulley on the traction unit and the spindle pulley (Fig. 5). 6.
Maintenance Replacing the Castor Wheel Fork Bushings 4. Insert a pin punch into the mounting tube and carefully drive out the bushings (Fig. 25). Clean the inside of the mounting tube. The castor wheel forks are mounted in bushings pressed into the top and bottom of the carrier frame mounting tubes. To check the bushings, move the castor forks back and forth and side-to-side. If a castor fork is loose, the bushings are worn and must be replaced. 5. Grease the inside and outside of the new bushings.
Maintenance Servicing the Castor Wheels and Bearings The castor wheels rotate on a roller bearing supported by a spanner bushing. If the bearing is kept well lubricated, wear will be minimal. Failure to keep the bearing well lubricated will cause rapid wear. A wobbly castor wheel usually indicates a worn bearing. 1. Remove the locknut and wheel bolt holding the castor wheel to the castor fork (Fig. 26). 2.
Maintenance Removing the Discharge Cover Assembly for Discharge Mowing 1 2 3 POTENTIAL HAZARD • Without the grass deflector or complete grass catcher assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris. 4 3 4 WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or death. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD • NEVER remove the grass deflector from the mower because the grass deflector routes material down toward the turf.
Maintenance Replacing the Grass Deflector Storage 1. 1. Clean any dirt and chaff from the top of the mower. 2. Scrape any heavy buildup of grass and dirt from the underside of the mower, then wash the mower with a garden hose. 3. Check the condition of the blade. Refer to Cutting Blade on page 11. 4. Check the condition of the drive belt. 5. Check and tighten all bolts, nuts and screws. Repair or replace any part that is damaged or defective. 6. Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM Abnormal vibration. Uneven cutting g height. g Blade does not rotate. 22 POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION 1. Cutting blade is bent or unbalanced. 1. Install new cutting blade. 2. Blade mounting bolt is loose. 2. Tighten blade mounting bolt. 3. Engine mounting bolts are loose. 3. Tighten engine mounting bolts. 4. Loose engine or spindle pulley. 4. Tighten the appropriate pulley. 5. Engine pulley is damaged. 5. Contact Authorized Service Dealer. 6.
