Checking The Reel To Bedknife Contact; Check The Torque Of The Wheel Nuts; Starting And Stopping The Engine; Setting The Reel Speed - Toro 03673 Reelmaster 5410-G Operator's Manual

Checking the Reel to Bedknife
Contact
Each day before operating, check reel to bedknife contact,
regardless if the quality of cut had previously been acceptable.
There must be light contact across the full length of the reel
and the bedknife (refer to Adjusting the Reel to Bedknife in
the cutting unit Operator's Manual).
Check the Torque of the Wheel
Nuts
Torque the wheel nuts to 94 to 122 N-m (70 to 90 ft-lb). after
1-4 hours of operation and again after 10 hours of operation.
Torque every 250 hours thereafter.
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts
could result in personal injury.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Starting the Engine
1. Sit on the seat, keep your foot off of the traction pedal
so that it is in Neutral, engage the parking brake, set the
engine speed switch to the Mid position and ensure that
the Enable/Disable switch is in the Disable position.
2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make
sure the pedal is in the Neutral position.
3. Insert and rotate the ignition key clockwise until the
engine starts.
Stopping the Engine
1. Move all controls to Neutral, set the parking brake,
move the engine speed switch to the low idle position
and allow the engine to reach low idle speed.
2. Turn the key to the Off position and remove it from
the switch.

Setting the Reel Speed

To achieve a consistent, high quality-of-cut and a uniform
after cut appearance, it is important that you set the reel speed
to the proper setting. Adjust the reel speed as follows:
1. In the InfoCenter, enter the blade count, mow speed
and HOC to calculate the proper reel speed.
2. If further adjustments are required, scroll down, on the
InfoCenter,,to the F Reel RPM, R Reel RPM or both.
3. Press the right button to change the reel speed value.
As the speed setting is changed, the display will
continue to show the calculated reel speed based on
blade count, mow speed and HOC, but the new value
will also be displayed.
Note: The reel speed may need to be increased or
decreased to compensate for varying turf conditions.
Adjusting the Lift Arm
Counterbalance
You can adjust the counterbalance on the rear cutting unit
lift arms to compensate for different turf conditions and to
maintain a uniform height-of-cut in the rough conditions or
in areas of thatch build up.
You can adjust each counterbalance spring to one of
four settings. Each increment increases or decreases
counterbalance on the cutting unit by 2.3 kg (5 lb). The
springs can be positioned on the back side of the first spring
actuator to remove all counter balance (forth position).
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking
brakes, and remove the key from ignition switch.
2. Insert a tube or similar object onto the long spring end
and pivot it around the spring actuator to the desired
position (Figure 30).
CAUTION
The springs are under tension.
Use caution when adjusting them.

Adjusting the Lift Arm Turn
Around Position
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking
brakes, and remove the key from ignition switch.
2. The lift arm switch is located underneath the hydraulic
tank behind the front right lift arm (Figure 31).
