Replacing The Fuel Filter; Servicing The Wheels - Toro ProLine Recycler 22045 Operator's Manual

Warning
Do not overtighten the blade brake cable.
Overtightening the blade brake cable could cause
the blade brake to come off of the brake drum. If
the brake does not contact the drum, the blade
will not stop rotating when you release the control
bar. A rotating blade could cause serious personal
injury.
Each time you adjust the brake cable, ensure
that the brake stops the blade in three seconds
or less.
If the blade does not stop rotating in three
seconds or less, bring the lawn mower to an
Authorized Service Dealer for inspection and
repair.

Replacing the Fuel Filter

Replace the fuel filter after every 100 operating hours or
yearly. The best time to replace the fuel filter (Fig. 39) is
when the fuel tank is empty. Never install a dirty fuel
filter after you remove it from the fuel line.
1. Squeeze the ends of the hose clamps together and slide
them away from the fuel filter (Fig. 39).

3. Install a new fuel filter and move the hose clamps
close to the filter.
Note: The flow arrow on the fuel filter must point
toward the carburetor.

Servicing the Wheels

Removing the Wheels
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug (Fig. 22).
3. Remove the cap screw, the wheel spacer, and the
locknut mounting the wheel to the pivot arm (Fig. 40).

4. Separate the wheel halves from the tire by removing
four cap screws and four locknuts (Fig. 40).
Note: If you remove the bearings from the bearing/hub
assembly, remove them by pressing on the bearing spacer
(Fig. 40).
Assembling the Wheels
1. Position the tire onto one wheel half, aligning the lugs
on each (Fig. 40).
2. Place the bearing/hub assembly into the center hole of
the wheel half. Ensure that the legs of the hub are
positioned over the flange of the hole (Fig. 40).
3. Place the other wheel half onto the bearing/hub
assembly, aligning the wheel and the tire lugs and the
mounting holes (Fig. 40).
4. Using two 1/4–20 x 1.50 in. (6 x 38 mm) fully
threaded screws or bolts and non-locking nuts, loosely
secure the wheel halves together. Mount the screws or
bolts in the opposing holes (Fig. 40).
5. Check the alignment of all parts and tighten the
screws, alternating from side to side for a uniform fit,
until the wheel halves are drawn together (Fig. 40).
6. Install the two cap screws and two locknuts previously
removed in the remaining holes in the wheel halves
and tighten. Remove the two long screws or bolts and
replace them with two cap screws and two locknuts
(Fig. 40).
7. Install the wheel to the pivot arm with the cap screws,
a spacer, and a locknut. Ensure that the spacer is
positioned between the wheel hub and the pivot arm
(Fig. 40).
