Pushing The Machine By Hand; Transporting Machines; Adjusting The Height-Of-Cut - Toro 30069 Operator's Manual

Pushing the Machine by Hand

The by-pass valves allow the machine to be pushed by
hand without the engine running.
Important: Always push the machine by hand.
Never tow the machine because hydraulic damage
may occur.
To Push the Machine
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers
to the neutral locked position and set the parking
brake.
2. Open the by-pass valves by turning them counter
clockwise 1 to 2. This allows hydraulic fluid
to by-pass the pumps and the wheels to turn
(Figure 14).
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Push the machine to the desired location.
5. Set the parking brake.
6. Close the by-pass valves, but do not overtighten
them.
Note: Rotate the by-pass valves a maximum of 2
turns so the valve does not come out of the body
causing fluid to run out.
Important: Do not start or operate the machine
with the by-pass valves open. Damage to
system may occur.

Transporting Machines

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all
necessary lighting and marking as required by law.
Please carefully read all the safety instructions. Knowing
this information could help you, your family, pets or
bystanders avoid injury.
2. By-pass valve
To transport the machine:
• Stop the engine, remove the key, set the brake, and
close the fuel valve.
• Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or truck
with straps, chains, cable, or ropes.
• Secure a trailer to towing vehicle with safety chains.

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

This machine has a 1 to 4-1/4 inch (26 to 108 mm)
range for height-of-cut. This can be achieved by
adjusting blade spacers, rear axle height and front caster
spacers. Use the Height-of-Cut chart to select the
combination of adjustments required
Adjusting the Blade Height
Adjust the Blades by using the 4 spacers (1/4 inch)
spacers on the blade spindle bolts. This allows for a
1-inch (25 mm) adjustment range of cutting height,
in 1/4 inch (6 mm) increments, in any axle position.
Use the same number of blade spacers on all blades to
achieve a level cut (2 above and 2 below, 1 above and 3
below, etc.).
1. Disengage the PTO and pull the throttle to the slow
position.
2. Turn the ignition switch to off.
3. Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position. Set the parking brake.
4. Hold the blade bolt and remove the nut. Slide the
bolt down through the spindle, and change the
spacers as needed (Figure 15).
