Changing the Hydraulic Fluid Replacing the Hydraulic Filters Service Interval: Every 800 hours Service Interval: After the first 200 hours Every 800 hours If the fluid becomes contaminated, contact your Toro Distributor because the system must be flushed. Contaminated fluid looks milky or black when compared to clean oil. 1. Use Toro replacement filters Part No. 94-2621 for the rear (mower decks) of the machine and Part No. 75-1310 for the front (charge) of the machine.
Cutting Unit Maintenance Removing the Cutting Units 1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, lower the cutting units, shut off the engine, and remove the key. 2. Disconnect and remove the hydraulic motor from the cutting unit (Figure 119). Cover the top of the spindle to prevent contamination. g036709 g011351 Figure 119 1. Motor-mounting screws 3.
Assembling the Front Roller Installing the Cutting Units 1. Press the first bearing into the roller housing (Figure 121). Press on the outer race only or equally on the inner and outer race. 2. Insert the spacer (Figure 121). 3. Install the hydraulic motor to the cutting unit (Figure 119). Make sure that the O-ring is in position and not damaged. Press the second bearing into the roller housing (Figure 121). Pressing equally on the inner and outer race until the inner race contacts the spacer. 4.
Blade Maintenance 5. Rotate the marked end of the blade to the 3 and 9 o’clock positions (Figure 122) and measure the heights. Blade Safety 6. Compare the 12 o’clock measured height to the height-of-cut setting. It should be within 0.7 mm (0.030 inch). The 3 and 9 o’clock heights should be 1.6 to 6.0 mm (0.060 to 0.240 inch) higher than the 12 o’clock setting and within 2.2 mm (0.090 inch) of each other.
Inspecting and Sharpening the Cutting-Unit Blade(s) Note: If the 3 or 9 o’clock side is 1.6 to 6.0 mm (0.060 to 0.240 inch) higher than the new front height then no adjustment is needed for that side. Adjust the other side to within ± 2.2 mm (0.090 inch) of the correct side. 7. Adjust the right and/or left height-of-cut brackets by repeating steps 1 through 4. 8. Secure the carriage bolts and flange nuts. 9. Verify the 12, 3, and 9 o’clock heights.
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 79). g004653 Figure 125 1. Cutting edge 3. Wear/slot forming 2. Curved area 4. Crack 3. Examine the cutting edges of all the blades and sharpen the cutting edges if they are dull or nicked (Figure 126).
Storage 10. Preparing for Seasonal Storage Mower Deck If the mower decks are separated from the traction unit for any length of time, install a spindle plug in the top of the spindles to protect the spindles from dust and water. Traction Unit 1. Thoroughly clean the traction unit, mower decks, and the engine. 2. Check the tire pressure; refer to Checking the Tire Pressure (page 26). 3. Check all fasteners for looseness; tighten as necessary. 4. Grease or oil all grease fittings and pivot points.
