Checking The Reel-To-Bedknife Contact; Checking The Tire Pressure; Checking The Torque Of The Wheel Nuts; Breaking In The Machine - Toro 04510 Operator's Manual

1. Hydraulic-tank cap
3. Slowly fill the reservoir with the appropriate hydraulic
fluid until the level reaches the Full mark in the white
window in the front of the reservoir. Do not overfill.
Important: To prevent system contamination,
clean the top of the hydraulic fluid containers
before puncturing. Ensure the pour spout and
funnel are clean.
4. Install the reservoir cap. Wipe up any fluid that may
have spilled.
Important: Check level of hydraulic fluid before
engine is first started and daily thereafter.
Checking the Reel-to-Bedknife
Contact
Each day before operating the machine, check the
reel-to-bedknife contact, regardless if the quality of cut had
previously been acceptable. There must be light contact
across the full length of the reel and bedknife; refer to the
Cutting Unit Operator's Manual.

Checking the Tire Pressure

Vary the tire pressure for the front wheels, depending upon
your turf conditions, from a minimum of 83 to a maximum
of 110 kPa (12 psi to 16 psi).
Vary the tire pressure for the rear wheel from a minimum of
83 to a maximum of 110 kPa (12 psi to 16 psi).

Checking the Torque of the
Wheel Nuts
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel nuts
could result in personal injury.
Torque the wheel nuts to 95 to 122 N∙m (70-90 ft-lb)
after 1-4 hours of operation and again after 10 hours
of operation. Torque every 200 hours thereafter.
To ensure even distribution, torque the brakes in a star
pattern.

Breaking in the Machine

Refer to the engine manual supplied with the machine for oil
change and maintenance procedures recommended during
the break-in period.
Only 8 hours of mowing operation is required for the break-in
period.
Since the first hours of operation are critical to future
dependability of the machine, monitor its functions and
performance closely so that minor difficulties, which could
lead to major problems, are noted and can be corrected.
Inspect the machine frequently during break-in for signs of
oil leakage, loose fasteners, or any other malfunction.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Note: Inspect the areas beneath the mowers to be certain
they are clear of debris.
Starting the Engine
Note: Inspect the area beneath the mowers to be certain
they are clear of debris.
1. Sit on the seat, lock the parking brake, disengage
the raise/lower mow control and move the
functional-control lever to the N
2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make
sure the pedal is in the N
3. Move the choke lever to the C

4. Insert and rotate the ignition key clockwise until the
engine starts.
5. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the
engine running smoothly. As soon as possible, open
the choke by pulling it rearward to the O

6. Check the machine out with the following procedures
after the engine has started:
