Leveling The Mower At Three Positions - Toro 74411 Operator's Manual

Leveling the Mower at Three
Positions
Important
There are only 3 measuring positions
needed to level the mower.
Setting Up the Machine
1. Position mower on a flat surface.
2. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral locked position, and set the parking brake.
3. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
4. Check tire pressure of all 4 tires. If needed, adjust them
to 13 psi (90 kPa)
5. Position the mower to the 3-inch (76 mm) height-of-cut
position.
6. Inspect the 4 chains; the chains need to have tension.
Note: Adjust the rear chains to the top of the slot, where
they are attached to the mower.
If one rear chain is loose, lower (loosen) the front
support arm on the same side. Refer to Adjusting the
Front-to-Rear Mower Pitch on page 41.
If one front chain is loose, raise (tighten) the front
support arm for that chain. Refer to Adjusting the
Front-to-Rear Mower Pitch on page 41.
Leveling the Mower Side-to-Side
1. Position the right blade front to rear (Fig. 49).

2. Measure the right blade at the B location (Fig. 49), from
a level surface to the cutting edge of the blade tip
(Fig. 50).
3. Record this measurement; this measurement must be
3-1/8 to 3-1/4 inches (79 to 83 mm).
4. Position the left blade front to rear (Fig. 49).
5. Measure the left blade at the C location (Fig. 49), from
a level surface to the cutting edge of the blade tip
(Fig. 50).

3-1/8 to 3-1/4 inches (79 to 83 mm).
7. If the measurements at positions B or C are incorrect,
loosen the bolt that attaches the rear chain to the rear
support arm (Fig. 51).
