Installing The Lift Arms; Installing The Carrier Frame - Toro 30555 Operator's Manual

Danger
If the engine is started and the PTO shaft is
allowed to rotate, serious injury could result.
Do not start the engine and engage the PTO lever
when the PTO shaft is not connected to the gear
box on the cutting unit.
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.

Installing the Lift Arms

1. On one side of the traction unit, loosen (do not remove)
the wheel nuts securing the wheel and tire assembly to
the front wheel studs.
2. Jack up the machine until the front wheel is off of the
floor. Use jack stands or block the machine to prevent it
from accidentally falling.
3. Remove the wheel nuts and slide the wheel and tire
assembly off of the studs.
4. Mount a lift arm to the pivot bracket with 2 spacers, a
pivot pin, and a cotter pin (5/32 x 1-3/4 in.). Mount the
lift arm with the bend positioned outward (Fig. 1).

6. Remove the cotter pins from the clevis pins holding the
brake struts and yokes together, and discard the cotter
pins. Keeping the clevis pin in place, install the short
end of the spring into the hole in the clevis pin to retain
the parts together. Connect the other end of the springs
to the slotted holes in the lift arms (Fig. 3).
