Checking The Gear Box Lubricant; Adjusting Weight Transfer; Using The Grass Deflector - Toro 30555 Operator's Manual

Checking the Gear Box
Lubricant
The gear box is designed to operate on SAE 80-90 wt. gear
lube. Although the gear box is shipped with lubricant from
the factory, check the level before operating the cutting unit.
1. Position the machine and cutting unit on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick/fill plug from the top of the gear
box (Figure 12) and make sure that the lubricant is
between the marks on the dipstick. If the lubricant
level is low, add enough lubricant until the level is
between the marks.

Adjusting Weight Transfer

On Groundsmaster 3280-D and 3320 models only, refer to
the traction unit Operator's Manual for the procedure to adjust
the counterbalance pressure for best performance.

Using the Grass Deflector

DANGER
Without the grass deflector mounted in place, you
and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown
debris. Contact with the rotating mower blade(s)
and thrown debris will cause injury or death
• Never remove the grass deflector from the mower
because the grass deflector routes material down
toward the turf. If the grass deflector is ever
damaged, replace it immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never operate the mower with the deflector
removed from the cutting unit or tied/blocked
in a raised position.
Figure 12
Note: The deflector is spring loaded into its downward
normal operating position (Figure 11), but the operator can
temporarily swing it out of the way to facilitate loading in a
trailer or when otherwise necessary.
