Operation; Checking The Lubricant In The Gear Box; Adjusting The Height-Of-Cut - Toro 30366 Operator's Manual

Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
CAUTION
If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone
could accidently start the engine and seriously
injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition before you do
any maintenance.
Checking the Lubricant in the
Gear Box
Service Interval: Every 50 hours
The gear box is designed to operate on either petroleum
or synthetic SAE 80–90 wt. gear lube. Although the
gear box is shipped with lubricant from the factory,
check the level before operating the cutting unit. The
gear box capacity is 12 oz. (283 ml).
1. Position the machine and cutting unit on a level
surface.
2. Remove the dipstick/fill plug from the top of
the gear box (Figure 5) and make sure that the
lubricant is between the marks on the dipstick. If
the lubricant level is low, add enough lubricant until
the level is between the marks.

Adjusting the Height-of-Cut

The height-of-cut is adjustable from 1 to 5 inches (25
to 127 mm) in 1/2 inch (13 mm) increments. To adjust
the height-of-cut, position the castor wheel axles in the
upper or lower holes of the castor forks, add or remove
an equal number of spacers from the castor forks and
secure the height of cut collar to the desired holes in
the height of cut rod.
1. Start the engine and raise the cutting unit off the
floor so that the height-of-cut can be changed. Stop
the engine and remove the key after the cutting unit
is raised.
2. Position the castor wheel axles in the same holes in
both castor forks. Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 to
determine the correct holes for the setting.

3. Shims
Note: When operating in 2–1/2 inch (64 mm)
height of cut or higher, the axle bolt must be
installed in the lower castor fork hole to prevent
grass buildup between the wheel and the fork.
When operating in height of cuts lower than 2–1/2
inches (64 mm) and grass buildup is detected,
