Maintaining the Tires
Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Check the condition of
the tires and rims.
Every 100 hours—Torque the wheel-lug nuts.
1. Inspect the tires an rims for signs of wear and damage.
Note: Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can
damage a tire or rim and also disrupt wheel alignment,
so inspect tire condition after an accident.
2. Torque the wheel-lug nuts to 61 to 88 N-m (45 to
65 ft-lb).
Adjusting the Front Wheel
Toe-in and Camber
Service Interval: Every 100 hours/Yearly (whichever comes
first)—Check the front wheel toe-in and
camber.
Important: You will need to obtain tool number
TORO 6010 from your Toro Distributor to perform this
procedure.
The toe-in should be 0 to 6 mm (0 to 1/4 inch) and the
camber should be 0+1/2 degree, i.e., the bottom of the wheel
rims angled in 2.3 mm (0.09 inch) more than the top, with the
following parameters:
•
Check the tire pressure to ensure that the front tires are
inflated to 82 kPa (12 psi).
•
Either, add weight to the driver's seat equal to the average
operator who will run the machine, or have an operator
sit on the seat. The weight or operator must remain on
the seat for the duration of the procedure.
•
On a level surface, roll the machine straight back 2 to 3
m (6 to 10 ft) and then straight forward to the original
starting position. This will allow the suspension to settle
into the operating position.
•
Measure the toe-in with the wheels facing straight ahead.
1. To check the camber, place a 90 degree square on the
ground with the vertical edge touching the face of the
tire
(Figure
42).

exaggerated for illustrative purposes
1. Measure here
2. Measure here—should be 2.3 mm (0.09 inch) larger than
the measurement at 1
2. Measure from the same part of the rim on the top and
bottom of the tire to the square
Note: The distance of the bottom measurement
should be 2.3 mm (0.09 inch) larger than the top
measurement. Complete the measurement on both
front tires before adjusting.
Complete the following procedure for each tire that
needs adjusting:
3. Using tool TORO 6010, rotate the collar on the shock
absorber to change the length of the spring
•
If the bottom measurement was too short, reduce
the length of the spring.
•
If the bottom measurement was too long, increase
the length of the spring.
