Adjusting The Service Brakes; Changing The Planetary Gear Drive Oil - Toro Reelmaster 6700-D Operator's Manual

Adjusting the Service Brakes

Adjust the service brakes when there is more than 1 inch 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. Disengage locking pin from brake pedals so both pedals
work independently of each other.
2. To reduce free travel of brake pedals, tighten the brakes
by loosening the front nut on the threaded end of the
brake cable (Fig. 63). Then tighten rear nut to move
cable backward until brake pedals have 1/2 to 1 inch of
free travel. Tighten front nuts after brakes are adjusted
correctly.

Changing the Planetary Gear
Drive Oil
Change oil initially after 200 hours operation and every 800
hours, or yearly. Use high quality SAE 85W-140 wt. gear
lube as replacement.
1. With machine on level surface, position wheel so the
check/drain plug is at lowest position (Fig. 64).
2. Place drain pan under hub, remove plug and allow oil to
drain.

4. When all of the oil has drained, install the bottom plug
in the brake housing.
5. Position the wheel so that the plug hole is at the ten or
two o'clock position on the planetary.
6. Slowly add approximately 16 oz. (0.5 l) of high quality
SAE 85W-140 wt. gear lube to the planetary fill hole (at
the ten or two o'clock position) until the level is up to
the bottom of the brake housing check hole. Install the
plug.
7. Repeat the procedure on the opposite planetary/brake
assembly.
