Checking The Mower Deck Front-To-Rear Pitch - Toro 30074 Operator's Manual

1. Carrier frame
2. 6-10 mm (1/4-3/8 inch)
pitch over 61 cm (24 inch)
length
3. 61 cm (24 inches)
2. Measure carrier frame height at location A
3. Measure carrier frame height at location B
4. The height at location A must be a 6 mm -10 mm
(1/4-3/8 inch) lower than location B
5. If the carrier frame is not correct, move caster spacers
to make it a 6 mm -10 mm (1/4-3/8 inch)) pitch
(Figure 64).
Note: Move the spacers from the top or bottom to
make the correct pitch.
6. The tire pressure may also be adjusted slightly to make
a 6 mm (1/4 inch) pitch.
Checking the Carrier Frame

1. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Adjust the tire pressure in the rear tires to specifications;
refer to Drive System Maintenance (page 30)
4. Measure carrier frame height at location A
5. Measure carrier frame height at location B
6. If the carrier frame height is not the same move spacers
from top or bottom of caster wheel, to make it level.
The tire pressure may also be adjusted slightly to make
it level.
