Product Overview load, maximum ground speed, fully press the pedal while the throttle is in Fast. To stop, reduce your foot pressure on the traction pedal and allow it to return to the center position. Brake Pedals Two foot pedals (Figure 2) operate individual wheel brakes for turning assistance, parking, and to aid in obtaining better side hill traction.

Checking the Interlock • Raise either wing cutting unit to the transport position. The cutting unit should turn off. If the Switches cutting unit does not stop, there is a malfunction in the interlock system that should be corrected before resuming operation.
Note: Resistance will be felt on the valve when it is moved to the open position. 3. Rotate the valve 90 degrees (1/4 turn) back to close the bypass valve before starting the engine. However, do not exceed 5 to 8 ft-lb (7 to 11 N⋅m) torque to close the valve.
Operating Tips The brakes can be used to assist in turning the machine. However, use them carefully, especially on soft or wet grass because the turf may be torn accidentally. Mow When Grass is Dry Another benefit of the brakes is to maintain traction. For example, in some slope conditions, the uphill wheel Mow either in the late morning to avoid the dew, which slips and loses traction.

System 1. Measure the center-to-center distance (at axle height) Service Interval: Every 100 hours at the front and rear of the steering tires.
Brake Maintenance Adjusting the Service Brakes Adjust the service brakes when there is more than 1 inch (25 mm) of “free travel” of the brake pedal, or when the brakes do not work effectively. Free travel is the distance the brake pedal moves before braking resistance is felt. 1.
Belt Maintenance Servicing the Alternator Belt Service Interval: After the first 10 hours Every 100 hours Check the condition and tension of the belts (Figure 64) after every 100 operating hours. 1. Proper tension will allow 3/8 inch (10 mm) deflection when a force of 10 lb is applied on the belt midway between the pulleys.

Mower Maintenance Pivoting (Tilting) the Front Cutting Unit Upright Note: Although not needed for normal maintenance procedures, the front cutting unit can be pivoted (tilted) to an upright position. Should you desire to tilt the cutting unit, proceed as follows: Figure 73 1.
Toro recommends a blade pitch of 1/4 inch (6 3. Install the cap screws and nuts. mm). That is the back of the blade plane is 1/4 inch (6 mm) higher than the front.
Servicing the Castor Arm or the castor pivot arm (Figure 80). Grasp the castor wheel and slide the bolt out of the fork or pivot arm. Bushings The castor arms have bushings pressed into the top and bottom of the tube and after many hours of operation, the bushings will wear.
The blade must be replaced if a solid object is hit, the blade is out of balance, or if the blade is bent. Always use genuine Toro replacement blades to be sure of safety and optimum performance. Never use replacement blades made by other manufacturers because they could be dangerous.
2. Grasp the end of the blade using a rag or thickly wears down, the quality-of-cut will degrade somewhat, padded glove. Remove the blade bolt, anti-scalp cup, although the cutting edges are sharp. The cutting edge and blade from the spindle shaft (Figure 83). of the blade must be sharp so that the grass is cut rather than torn.
If the blade is allowed to wear, a slot will form between the sail and flat part of the blade (Figure 84). Eventually a piece of the blade may break off and be thrown from under the housing, possibly resulting in serious injury to you or bystanders.
Spark Arrestor the dimensions must not exceed 1/8 inch (3 mm). If the dimension exceeds 1/8 inch (3 mm), replace Maintenance the blade because it is bent. Make sure to measure all of the blades. 6. Compare the measurements of the outer blades with Servicing the Spark Arrestor the center blade.
B. Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with a wire brush and baking soda solution. C. Coat the cable terminals and battery posts with Grafo 112X skin-over grease (Toro Part No. 505-47) or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion. D. Slowly recharge the battery every 60 days for 24 hours to prevent lead sulfation of the battery.
