Inspecting The Rotor Blades; Changing The Engine Oil - Toro 38564 CCR 6053 Operator's Manual

1. Upper end of spring
2. Insert the upper end of
spring into this hole
Note: The belt may slip (squeal) in wet conditions;
to dry out the drive system, start the rotor and run it
without a load for 30 seconds.

Inspecting the Rotor Blades

Service Interval: Yearly—Inspect the rotor blades and have
an Authorized Service Dealer replace the
rotor blades and scraper if necessary.
Before each session, inspect the rotor blades for wear. When
a rotor blade edge has worn down to the wear indicator hole,
have an Authorized Service Dealer replace the rotor blades
and the scraper (Figure 27).
1. The wear indicator hole is
intact; you do not need to
replace the rotor blades.

3. Pivot point
4. Remove the upper end of
spring from this hole

2. The wear indicator hole is
exposed; replace the rotor
blades.

Changing the Engine Oil

Service Interval: After the first 2 hours
Yearly
Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil to warm
it. Warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants.
1. Siphon the fuel from the fuel tank into an approved
fuel container, or run the engine until it stops.
2. Move the machine to a level surface.
3. Place an oil drain pan under the oil drain plug, remove
the oil drain plug, and tip the machine backward and
drain the used oil in the oil drain pan Figure 28).
4. After draining the used oil, return the machine to the
operating position.
5. Install the oil drain plug and tighten it securely.
6. Clean around the oil fill cap (Figure 29).
1. Oil fill cap
7. Unscrew the oil fill cap and remove it (Figure 29).
8. With the machine in the operating position, carefully
pour oil into the oil fill hole. Wait 3 minutes for the
oil to settle and add enough to bring it to the point of
overflow. There should be very little, if any, oil left in
the bottle (Figure 31).
Note: You may tip the machine forward (handle up)
to make adding oil easier. Remember to return the
machine to the operating position before checking the
oil level.
Important: Do not tip the machine all the way
forward onto its nose, or fuel may leak out of the
machine.
