Adjusting The Wheel-Drive-Belt Tension; Adjusting The Height Of Cut - Toro 30632 Operator's Manual

DANGER
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.
• Never remove the grass deflector from
the mower, because the grass deflector
routes material down toward the turf. If the
grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you release the OPC levers and the
power take-off (PTO) is off. Rotate the ignition
key to the Off position. Also remove the key and
pull the wire off the spark plug(s).
Adjusting the Wheel-drive-belt
Tension
You may need to increase the wheel-drive-belt tension under
certain operating conditions, such as mowing over hilly terrain
or while pulling a sulky.
1. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop.
2. Disconnect the wires from the spark plugs.
3. Disengage the neutral/parking brake locks, and release
the drive levers to reduce the spring force.
4. Remove the drive spring from the adjustment bolt
(Figure 10).

5. Remove the locknut that secures the adjustment bolt to
the drive pulley shield (Figure 10).
6. Locate bolt assembly in the desired tension position
as follows:
•
Position A for normal conditions
•
Position B for more severe conditions
•
Position C for the most severe conditions
Note: The wheel drive tension is lowest when
the bolt assembly is in Position A. The tension
increases in Positions B and C (Figure 10).
7. Install the adjustment bolt and the drive spring.
8. Repeat steps through for the opposite side.

Adjusting the Height of Cut

This machine has a 26 to 108 mm (1 to 4-1/4 inch) range for
the 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 (6 mm) (1/4 inch)
on the blade spindle bolts. This allows for a 25 mm (1 inch)
adjustment range, in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments, of cutting
height 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 blade-control (PTO) lever and set the
parking brakes.
2. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
3. Hold the blade bolt and remove the nut (Figure 11).
