Adjusting The Control Cable; Inspecting The Rotor Blades - Toro CCR Powerlite 38173 Operator's Manual

Adjusting the Control Cable

1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Move the control bar toward the handle to remove the
slack in the control cable.
3. Ensure that there is a 1/16 to 1/8-inch (2 to 3 mm) gap
between the control bar and the handle (Figure 13). If
you must adjust the control cable, go to step 4.

Inspecting the Rotor Blades

Before each season, inspect the rotor blades for wear. When
a rotor blade edge has worn down to the wear indicator
hole, have an Authorized Service Dealer replace both rotor
blades and the scraper (Figure 15).

Inspecting the Scraper
Before each season, inspect the scraper for wear. If the
thickness from the top of the wear indicator groove to
the bottom of the scraper is less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm)
or there is no longer a wear indicator groove, replace the
scraper (Figure 16).
