Setup Media and Additional Parts Description Use Qty. Parts catalog Operator's Manual Certificate of Compliance 1 1 1 Review the material and save in an appropriate place: Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. A. Remove the shoulder screw that secures the retainer pin to the carrier frame (Figure 2). B. Removing the Existing Mower (if applicable) Carefully slide the retainer pin from the carrier frame and the pull link (Figure 2). 3.
Note: Place a wood block or similar shim under each link to hold it in the raised position. 5. Disconnect the end yoke of the PTO drive shaft from the mower gearbox shaft: A. Remove the roll pin from the end yoke and the gearbox shaft (Figure 4). CAUTION Be careful when connecting the pull links to the machine. The pull link torsion springs may cause some rotation of the pull links during installation. 5. Align the pull link to the carrier frame and attach the link with the retainer pin (Figure 2).
Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Adjustments Adjusting the Height-of-Cut The height-of-cut is adjusted from 2.5 to 15.8 cm (1 to 6 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments by relocating the stop pin into different hole locations. 1. With the engine running, push back on the mower lift switch until the mower is fully raised and release the switch immediately (Figure 6). Figure 5 1. Chain 2. Yoke 3. Jam nut 4.
Adjusting the Skid(s) 3. After adjusting the height-of-cut, adjust the rollers by removing the flange nut, bushing, spacer, and bolt (Figure 8). Mount the skids in the lower position when operating in height of cuts higher than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches) and in the higher position when operating in height of cuts lower than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches). Note: On Guardian® mowers, when the skids become worn, you can switch the skid to the opposite sides of the mower, flipping them over.
2. Move the throttle lever to the Slow position, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 3. Raise the front of the machine and support it on jack stands. 4. Remove the fasteners securing each roller on your mower and move the rollers up or down as desired; refer to Figure 10 through Figure 14 as applicable for your mower. Figure 12 Guardian Mower Only 1.

Blade Maintenance Operating Tips Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season because a sharp blade cuts cleanly without tearing or shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which slows growth and increases the chance of disease. Check the blades daily for sharpness, and for any wear or damage. Sharpen the blades as necessary. If a blade is damaged or worn, replace it immediately with a genuine Toro replacement blade. Refer to Servicing the Cutting Blades.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. WARNING If you raise the machine using only a jack to support it while you work under the mower deck, the jack could tip, causing the mower deck to fall, crushing you or bystanders. Always secure the machine with at least 2 jack stands when you have the mower deck raised. CAUTION On the top of the mower deck are two links that connect them to the frame.
Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 50 hours • Check the tire pressure. • Check the condition of the blade drive belts on the mower. Before each use or daily Every 50 hours • Check the mower blades. • Clean the mower. • Grease the bearing and bushing grease fittings. Daily Maintenance Checklist Duplicate this page for routine use. Maintenance Check Item For the week of: Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. Sat. Sun.
Lubrication operating conditions are extremely dusty and dirty. Dusty and dirty operating conditions could cause dirt to get into the bearings and bushings, resulting in accelerated wear. Lubricate the grease fittings immediately after every washing, regardless of interval specified. Greasing the Bearings and Bushings Service Interval: Every 50 hours 1. Wipe the grease fittings clean so foreign matter cannot be forced into the bearing or bushing.
Figure 17 Note: Bearing life can be negatively affected by improper wash down procedures. Do not wash down the unit when it is still hot and avoid directing high-pressure or high volume spray at the bearings or seals.
Checking the Tire Pressure Servicing the Cutting Blades Service Interval: After the first 50 hours Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting season because sharp blades cut cleanly without tearing or shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which slows growth and increases the chance of disease. Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires. The correct air pressure is 172 kPa (25 psi) in the rear tires and 103 kPa (15 psi) in the front tires.
Figure 20 1. Measure here from blade to hard surface 2. Position A 4. Rotate the opposite ends of the blades forward. 5. Measure from a level surface to the cutting edge of the blades at the same position as in step 3 above. The difference between the dimensions obtained in steps 3 and 4 must not exceed 3 mm (1/8 inch). If this dimension exceeds 3 mm (1/8 inch), the blade is bent and must be replaced; refer to Removing the Blades and Installing the Blades. WARNING Figure 19 1. Cutting Edge 3.
2. Remove the blade bolt, anti-scalp plate, and blade from the spindle shaft (Figure 23). Sharpening the Blades WARNING When sharpening blade, pieces of blade could be thrown and cause serious injury. Wear proper eye protection when sharpening blades. 1. Sharpen the cutting edge at both ends of the blade (Figure 21). Maintain the original angle. The blade retains its balance if the same amount of material is removed from both cutting edges. Figure 21 Figure 23 1. Sharpen at original angle 2.
Replacing the Grass Deflector WARNING An uncovered discharge opening could allow the machine to throw objects in the operator's or bystander's direction and result in serious injury. Also, contact with the blade could occur. • Never operate the machine without a mulch kit or grass deflector installed. • Make sure the grass deflector is in the down position. 1.
Cleaning Under the Mower Storage Service Interval: Before each use or daily 1. Thoroughly clean the mower, paying special attention to these areas: Remove the grass buildup under the mower daily. 1. Disengage the PTO, release the traction pedal to the neutral position and set the parking brake. • Underneath the mower 2. Move the throttle lever to the Slow position, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
