Removing The Cover; Separating The Cutting Unit From The Traction Unit; Mounting The Cutting Unit To The Traction Unit - Toro 31335 Operator's Manual

Removing the Cover

Important: The fasteners on the covers of this machine
are designed to remain on the cover after removal.
Loosen all of the fasteners on each cover a few turns so
that the cover is loose but still attached, then go back
and loosen them until the cover comes free. This will
prevent you from accidentally stripping the bolts free
of the retainers.

from the Traction Unit
1. Position the machine on level surface, lower the cutting
unit to the floor, move the lift lever to the Float
position, shut the engine off, and engage the parking
brake.
2. Remove the hair pin cotters and clevis pins securing
the lift arms to the castor arm brackets
