Adjusting the Rollers and Gage Wheel 2. Note: If you want to use the cutting unit in the 25 mm Adjusting the Rear (Internal) Rollers (1 inch) or 38 mm (1-1/2 inches) height-of-cut setting, position the cutting unit rollers in the top bracket holes. 1. Adjusting the Front Roller 1. Align the roller and spacer with the top holes in the brackets and secure them with the capscrew and nut. Remove the capscrew and nut securing the roller shaft to the cutting unit bracket (Figure 11).
Using the Grass Deflector position and adjust your ground speed for conditions. Decrease the ground speed as the load on the cutting blades increases. Increase the ground speed as the load on the blades decreases. DANGER Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or complete grass catcher assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or death.
Blade Maintenance 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.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 2 hours • Tighten the castor wheel nuts. After the first 10 hours • Tighten the castor wheel nuts. Before each use or daily • Lubricate the castor arm bushings. • Lubricate the castor wheel bearings. After each use • Clean the cutting unit. Every 50 hours • Lubricate the grease fittings. • Check the gearbox lubricant. • Tighten the castor wheel nuts.
Important: The fasteners on the covers of this machine are designed to remain on the cover after removal. Loosen all the fasteners on each cover a few turns so that the cover is loose but still attached, then go back and loosen them until the cover comes free. This prevents you from accidentally stripping the bolts free of the retainers. Lubrication Service Interval: Every 50 hours The machine has grease fittings that you must lubricate regularly with No. 2 lithium grease.
Separating the Cutting Unit from the Traction Unit 1. Position the machine on a level surface. 2. Lower the cutting unit to the floor, move the lift lever to the FLOAT position, engage the parking brake, put the traction pedal in neutral, set the PTO lever in the OFF position, shut the engine off, and remove the ignition key. 3. Remove the capscrews and locknuts securing the ball joint mounts to the castor arms on the cutting unit (Figure 19). g010552 Figure 20 1.
7. Use a hammer and flat plate to drive the bushings into the mounting tube. 3. Pull the spanner bushing out of the wheel hub (Figure 22). 8. Inspect the castor spindle for wear, and replace it if it is damaged. 4. Remove the bushing from the wheel hub and allow the bearing to fall out. 9. Push the castor shaft through the bushings and mounting tube. 5. Remove the bushing from the opposite side of the wheel hub. 10. Slide the thrust washer and spacer(s) onto the spindle. 6. 11.
2. Important: The curved part of the blade Rotate the blade until the ends face forward and backward and measure from the inside of the cutting unit to the cutting edge at the front of the blade (Figure 23). must point toward the inside of the cutting unit to ensure proper cutting. Note: After striking a foreign object, torque all spindle-pulley nuts to 115 to 149 N∙m (85 to 110 ft-lb). Note: Remember this dimension. Inspecting and Sharpening the Cutting Unit Blade(s) g010549 Figure 23 3.
Note: Remove the blades and sharpen them on a grinder. After sharpening the cutting edges, install the blade with the anti-scalp cup and blade bolt; refer to Removing and Installing the Cutting-Unit Blade(s) (page 21). Checking and Correcting Mismatch of Blades If a cutting blade cuts lower than the others, correct them as follows: 1.
g010557 Figure 28 2. Lower the cutting unit, engage the parking brake, put the traction pedal in neutral, the PTO lever in the OFF position, shut the engine off, and remove the ignition key. 3. Remove the cover from the center cutting unit. 4. Loosen the 2 nuts that secure the idler plate in place. 5. Use a socket and torque wrench to tighten the idler adjusting nut to 47 to 54 N-m (35 to 40 ft-lb) (Figure 29). 1. Measure from the blade tip to a level surface. 7.
PTO lever in the OFF position, shut the engine off, and remove the ignition key. 3. Remove the covers from the top of the cutting unit. 4. Loosen the 2 nuts that secure the idler plate in place, and remove the old belt from the pulleys. 5. To install a new belt, you must remove the gearbox by removing the 4 carriage bolts and locknuts holding the gearbox base. 6. Install the new belt around the gearbox pulley, spindle pulleys, stationary idler pulley, and adjustable idler pulley (Figure 30).
Storage 1. Disengage the PTO, release the traction pedal to the neutral position, lower the cutting unit, move the throttle lever to the SLOW position, and engage the parking brake. 2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all movement to stop before you leave the operator's position. Allow the machine to cool before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it. 3.
Troubleshooting Problem The cutting unit does not cut or cuts poorly. Possible Cause Corrective Action 1. The blades are dull. 1. Sharpen the blades. 2. One or more blades are bent or damaged. 3. The spindle bolts are loose. 2. Replace the blades. 4. The cutting unit belts are loose or broken. 5. The gearbox pulley is loose. 6. A gearbox shaft is broken. 7. The PTO belt is broken. 8. The PTO pulley is loose or broken. 9. The PTO shaft is broken. 10.
