Brake Maintenance; Adjusting The Brakes - Toro 41594 Operator's Manual

Note: Use enough coolant to fill the engine and the
system lines. This will allow for the coolant to expand
without it overflowing while the engine is warming up.
8. Start the engine with the cap loosely on the radiator
(Figure 71).
9. Allow the engine to warm up until the thermostat
opens.
Note: This usually occurs between 175 and 190
degrees F.
CAUTION
As the engine continues to run, the coolant will
become hot and pressurized. If you open the
radiator cap when the coolant is hot, it could
spray out and severely burn you or bystanders.
• Allow the engine to cool for at least 15
minutes before opening the radiator cap.
The radiator cap must be cool to the touch.
• Wear protective clothing and avoid contact
with hot coolant as you open the radiator
cap.
10. Once the coolant has warmed up, top off the coolant
level to the sealing surface of the cap and tighten the
cap (Figure 71).
11. Open the expansion tank cap and fill the tank with
coolant to the Cold level
12. Check the coolant levels after several engine start up
and shut down cycles.
Note: Add coolant to the radiator and expansion tank
as needed.

Brake Maintenance

Adjusting the Brakes

If the brake pedal travels more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) before
you feel resistance, adjust the brakes as follows:
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, stop the pump,
stop the engine, and remove the key from the starter
switch.
2. Set the parking brake.
3. Put the blocks under the wheels to prevent the machine
from rolling.
4. Release the parking brake.
5. Loosen the front nuts on the brake cables under the
front end of the sprayer
1. Front nuts
6. Tighten the rear nuts equally until the brake pedal
moves between 1 to 2 cm (1/2 to 1 inch) before you
feel resistance (Figure
Important: Ensure that you tighten both rear
nuts equally so that the threaded ends of the brake
cables in front of the front nuts are the same
length.
7. Tighten the front nuts.
