Servicing The Front Roller - Toro 30864A Operator's Manual

To verify this stopping time, have a second person
stand back from the deck at least 6 m (20 feet) and
watch the blades on one of the cutting decks. Have
the operator shut the cutting decks down and record
the time it takes for the blades to come to a complete
stop. If this time is greater than 7 seconds, the braking
valve needs adjustment. Call your Toro Distributor for
assistance in making this adjustment.

lead to premature bearing failure
5. Verify that there is no more than a 1.5 mm (0.060
inch) gap between roller assembly and the roller
mount brackets of the deck frame. If there is a
gap over 1.5 mm (0.060 inch), install enough 5/8
