Checking The Angle Indicator; Adjusting The Lift Arms - Toro 30809 Groundsmaster 3500-G Operator's Manual

1. Positive (+) battery cable
Important: If the battery is ever removed, make
sure that the battery clamp bolts are installed with
the bolt heads positioned on the bottom side and
the nuts on the top side. If the clamp bolts are
reversed, they may interfere with the hydraulic
tubes when shifting the cutting-units.
8. Coat both battery connections with Grafo 112X (skin
over) grease, Toro Part No. 505-47, petroleum jelly, or
light grease to prevent corrosion.
9. Slide the rubber boot over the positive terminal to
prevent a possible short from occurring.

Checking the Angle Indicator

No Parts Required
Procedure
DANGER
Do not operate the machine on side hills steeper
than 25º to reduce risk of injury or death due to
rollover.
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface.
2. Verify that the machine is level by placing a hand held
inclinometer (supplied with the machine) on the frame
cross rail, by the fuel tank
should read zero degrees when viewed from the
operator's position.

3. If the inclinometer does not read zero degrees, move
the machine to a location where a zero degree reading
is obtained. The angle indicator, mounted on the
machine, should now read zero degrees as well.
4. If the angle indicator does not read zero degrees, loosen
the 2 screws and nuts securing the angle indicator to
the mounting bracket, adjust the indicator to obtain a
zero degree reading, and tighten the bolts.
