FOREWORD The Guardian® 62” Recycler® Cutting Deck has advanced concepts in engineering, design and safety; and if maintained properly, will give excellent service. Since this is a high-quality product, Toro is concerned about the future use of the machine and the safety of the user. Therefore, read this manual to familiarize yourself with proper operation and maintenance instructions. The major sections of the manual are: Certain information in this manual is emphasized.
Safety Training 1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. 2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. 3. 3. WARNING—Petrol is highly flammable. • Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. • Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refueling. • Add fuel before starting the engine.
Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To guard against overturning: • do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill; 13.
7. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors 8. On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate. 9. When machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical lock is used. Sound & Vibration Levels Sound Levels This unit has an equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure at the operator ear of: 90 dB(A), based on measurements of identical machines per 84/538/EEC.

Specifications Width of Cut: 62 in. Height-of-Cut: Adjustable from 1-1/2” to 4-1/2” in 1/2” increments. Cutter Housing: 4” deep housing is made of 12 gauge steel and reinforced with 10 gauge channel and plates. Cutting Unit Drive: Isolation mounted gear box on the cutting unit is driven by PTO shaft. Power is transmitted to the blades by one hex ”AA” section belt. Spindle shafts are 1 inch diameter and supported by two greaseable, tapered roller bearings.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT-OF-CUT (Fig. 2–3) The height-of-cut is adjustable from 1-1⁄2 to 4-1⁄2 inches in 1⁄2 inch increments, by adding or removing an equal number of spacers from the front and rear castor forks. The height-of-cut chart below gives the combinations of spacers to use for all height-of-cut settings. Height of Cut Setting 1.5 inch 2 inch 2.5 inch 3 inch 3.5 inch 4 inch 4.5 inch 1.

ADJUSTING THE SKIDS (Fig. 4) 1. Adjust the skids by removing the flange nuts, positioning the skids at the desired position and reinstalling the flange nuts. GREASE THE CUTTING UNIT Before the cutting unit is operated, it must be greased: refer to Lubrication. Failure to properly grease the cutting unit will result in premature failure of critical parts.

reasons, mow first with the height of cut at a high level; then mow again 2-3 days later with a lower height setting. 5. ALWAYS MOW WITH SHARP BLADES—A sharp blade cuts cleanly and without tearing or shredding the grass blades like a dull blade. Tearing and shredding causes the grass to turn brown at the edges which impairs growth and increases susceptibility to diseases. 6. STOPPING—If forward motion has to be stopped while cutting, a clump of grass clippings may be deposited on lawn.
lower the cutting unit. Remove the check plug from the side of the gear box (Fig. 8) and make sure lubricant is up to the bottom of the hole. If the level of lubricant is low, remove the fill plug on top of the gear case and add SAE 80-90 weight. gear lubrication until the level is up to the bottom of the hole in the side.

CAUTION • Engine could start accidentally. • Accidental starting of engine could cause serious injury to operator or bystanders. • Shut engine off and remove key from ignition switch before performing any maintenance or adjustments SEPARATING THE CUTTING UNIT FROM THE TRACTION UNIT (Fig 9–11) 1. Position the machine on level surface, lower the cutting unit to the floor, move the lift lever to the float position, shut the engine off and engage the parking brake. 2.
in the castor arms. 5. Secure the ball-joint mounts to the castor arms with capscrews, flatwashers and flange nuts. Position the flatwashers to the outside of the castor arm. REPLACING THE DRIVE BELT (Fig 11–13) The blade drive belt, tensioned by the stationary idler pulley, is very durable. However, after many hours of use, the belt will show signs of wear. Signs of a worn belt are: squealing when the belt is rotating, blades slipping when cutting grass, frayed edges, burn marks and cracks.
from side to side. If the castor spindle is loose inside the bushings, bushings are worn and must be replaced. 1. Raise the cutting unit so its wheels are off the floor and block it so that it cannot fall accidentally. 2. Remove the tensioning cap, spacer(s) and thrust washer from top of the castor spindle. 3. Pull the castor spindle out of the mounting tube. Allow the thrust washer and spacer(s) to remain on bottom of the spindle. 4.
wear. Replace defective parts. 5. To assemble the castor wheel, push the bushing into wheel hub. Slide the bearing into the wheel hub. Push the other bushing into the open end of the wheel hub to captivate the bearing inside the wheel hub. 6. Carefully slide the spanner through the bushings and the wheel hub. 7. Install the castor wheel assembly between the castor fork and secure in place with a capscrew and locknut. 8. Lubricate the castor wheel bearing through the grease fitting, using No.
INSPECTING AND SHARPENING THE BLADE (Fig 17–18) 1. Raise the cutting unit to its highest position, shut the engine off and engage the parking brake. Block the cutting unit to prevent it from falling accidentally. 2. Examine the cutting ends of the blade carefully, especially where the flat and curved parts of the blade meet (Fig. 17 A). Since sand and abrasive material can wear away the metal that connects the flat and curved parts of the blade, check the blade before using the machine.
from top of the cutting unit. Distributor, supply the following information: 4. Loosen the flange nut securing the idler pulley to release belt tension. 1. Model and serial numbers of the machine. 2. 5. Rotate blades until the ends face forward and backward. Measure from the floor to the front tip of the cutting edge and remember this dimension. Then rotate the same blade so its opposite end is forward and measure again. The difference between dimensions must not exceed 1⁄8 of an inch.
