7. If the reels stall or become erratic while backlapping,
select a higher reel speed setting until the speed
stabilizes, then return the reel speed to your desired
speed. This can be done using the buttons on the
InfoCenter.
8. To make an adjustment to the cutting units while
backlapping, turn the reels off by moving the Lower
Mow/Raise lever rearward; the Enable/Disable switch
to the Disable position, and stop the engine. After
completing adjustments, repeat steps 4 through 7.
9. Repeat the procedure for all cutting units you want to
backlap.
10. When finished, turn off the backlap functions, using
the buttons in the InfoCenter, and wash all lapping
compound off of the cutting units. Adjust cutting unit
reel to bedknife as needed. Adjust the cutting unit reel
speed to the desired mowing setting.
Important: If the backlap function is not returned
to the Off setting after backlapping, the cutting
units will not raise or function properly.
Note: For a better cutting edge, run a file across
the front face of the bedknife after lapping. This will
remove any burrs or rough edges that may have built
up on the cutting edge.

Preparing the Traction Unit

1. Thoroughly clean the traction unit, cutting units, and
engine.
2. Check the tire pressure. Inflate all traction unit tires to
83 to 103 kPa (12 to 15 psi).
3. Check all fasteners for looseness and tighten them as
necessary.
4. Grease all grease fittings and pivot points. Wipe up
any excess lubricant.
5. Lightly sand and use touch-up paint on painted areas
that are scratched, chipped, or rusted. Repair any dents
in the metal body.
6. Service the battery and cables as follows:
A. Remove the battery terminals from the battery
posts.
B. Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with a wire
brush and baking soda solution.
C. Coat the cable terminals and battery posts with
Grafo 112X skin-over grease (Toro Part No.
505-47) or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
D. Slowly recharge the battery every 60 days for 24
hours to prevent lead sulfation of the battery.

2. Remove and discard the oil filter. Install a new oil filter.
3. Refill the engine with designated quantity of motor oil.
4. Start the engine and run it at idle speed for
approximately two minutes.
