• Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls, and safety signs. • Never operate with guards not securely in place. Be sure all interlocks are attached, adjusted properly, and functioning property. • All operators and mechanics should be trained. The owner is responsible for training the users. • Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed the engine. • Never let children or untrained people operate or service the equipment.
• Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire before making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and negative last. – Do not drive close to sand traps, ditches, creeks, or other hazards. • Use care when checking blades. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use caution when servicing them. Only replace blades. Never straighten or weld them. – Avoid sudden stops and starts. – Reduce speed when making sharp turns.
• Make sure that the mower fuel tank is empty if the machine is to be stored in excess of 30 days. Do not store the mower where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark. parts and accessories made by other manufacturers could be dangerous, and such use could void the product warranty. • To make sure of optimum performance and continued safety certification of the machine, use only genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories.

Danger If the engine is started and the PTO shaft is allowed to rotate, serious injury could result. Do not start the engine and engage the PTO lever when the PTO shaft is not connected to the gear box on the cutting unit. 1 3 3 2 Installing the Lift Arms Figure 2 1. On one side of the traction unit, loosen (do not remove) the wheel nuts securing the wheel and tire assembly to the front wheel studs. 1. Cylinder pin 2. Cylinder end 2. Jack up the machine until the front wheel is off of the floor.
Installing the Carrier Frame 4. Slide the carrier frame onto the lift arms aligning the mounting holes. Secure each side of the carrier frame to the lift arms with 3 capscrews (1/2 x 1-1/2 in.). Torque the capscrews to 70–80 ft.-lb. (95–108 N⋅m) (Fig. 6). Note: Grease the castor wheel shaft with No. 2 grease after installing and after initial operation of the machine. 1. Carrier frame is shipped upside down. Turn frame over before installation. 2.
Installing the Weight Transfer Kit 2 1. Fully raise the cutting deck, set the parking brake, rotate the ignition key to Off, and remove the ignition key. 1 2. Move lift lock lever to the lock position. Note: Lift lock lever is located on right front corner of the seat frame. 3. Place blocks under the cutting deck to prevent it from falling during assembly. Figure 7 1. PTO guard 2.
7. Mount the bottom of the knee link to the deck bracket with a shoulder bolt and locknut. 4 8. Align the slotted holes in the spring cover (slot toward the bottom) with the mounting bracket holes. Insert the lock pin assemblies into the bracket holes and secure each to the bracket with self-tapping screws (Fig. 11). Torque the screws to 20 ft.-lb. (27 N⋅m). 3 2 1 9 8 1 6 5 7 11 3 2 12 4 10 Figure 11 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Before Operating Adjusting the Height-of-Cut The height-of-cut is adjustable from 1 to 4 inches (25 to 102 mm) in 1/2 inch (13 mm) increments by relocating 4 clevis pins in different hole locations (Fig. 15). 1 Figure 14 1. Frame cushions Installing Rear Weight Two Wheel Drive Groundsmaster 1000 and 200 Series traction units comply with the ANSI B71.4-1999 Standard when equipped with rear weight. Refer to the chart in the traction unit Operator’s Manual to determine the combinations of weight required.
Checking the Lubricant in the Gear Box Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. The gear box is designed to operate on SAE 80–90 wt. gear lube. Although the gear box is shipped with lubricant from the factory, check the level before operating the cutting unit. Using the Grass Deflector 1. Position the machine and cutting unit on a level surface. Danger 2. Remove the fill/check plug from the side of the gear box (Fig.
Caution The counterbalance spring is in tension when the deck is in the lowered position. Always raise the deck before adjusting or removing the spring. Maintenance Figure 18 Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Greasing the Bearings and Bushings The cutting unit must be lubricated regularly. If the machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate the castor bearings and bushings with No.
Separating the Cutting Unit from the Traction Unit 1. Position the machine on a level surface, raise 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. 1 Caution The counterbalance spring is in tension when the deck is in the lowered position. Figure 22 1. PTO shaft Always raise the deck before adjusting or removing the spring. Danger 2.
Servicing the Castor Wheel and Bearing 4. Insert a pin punch into the top or bottom of the mounting tube and drive the bushing out of the tube (Fig. 23). Also drive the other bushing out of the tube. Clean the inside of the mounting tube to remove any dirt. The castor wheel rotates on a high-quality roller bearing and is supported by a spanner bushing. Even after many hours of use, provided that the bearing was kept well lubricated, bearing wear will be minimal.
Checking for a Bent Blade 2. Grasp the end of the blade using a rag or thickly padded glove. Remove the blade bolt, anti-scalp cup, and blade from the spindle shaft (Fig. 26). 1. Position the machine on a level surface, raise the cutting unit, engage the parking brake, put the traction pedal in neutral, the PTO lever in the Off position, shut the engine Off, remove the ignition key, and disconnect the wires from the spark plugs. Block the cutting unit to prevent it from accidentally falling. 2.
Checking and Correcting Mismatch of Blades If one cutting blade cuts lower than the others, correct them as follows: 1. Lower the cutting unit onto a level surface, engage the parking brake, put the traction pedal in neutral, the PTO lever in the Off position, shut the engine off, remove the ignition key, and disconnect the wires from the spark plugs. Make sure that the tire pressure is equal on all tires. 2. Raise the height-of-cut to the 4 in.
D. Transfer one thrust washer from the lower side of the castor shaft to the top side, install the assembly, and compare the blade height of all of the blades; refer to steps 3 through 7. Repeat the procedure if the height still does not meet the requirements. 8. Compare the measurements at various positions. All dimensions must be equal within 1/4 in. (6 mm) from any 2 adjacent blades. The difference between the dimensions of all 3 blades must not exceed 3/8 in. (10 mm).
Adjusting the Idler Pulley Replacing the Drive Belt The idler pulley applies force against the belt so that power can be transmitted to the blade pulleys. If the idler is not tensioned against the belt with sufficient force, maximum power will not be transmitted to the pulleys. Initial tension on a new belt requires 25 to 30 ft.-lb. (34 to 41 N⋅m) of torque on the large nut, which applies force against the belt. As the belt wears and loosens, 20 to 25 ft.-lb.
