Storage; Preparing The Machine For Storage - Toro Groundsmaster 4300-D Operator's Manual

Assembling the Front Roller
1. Press the first bearing into the roller housing
(Figure 80). Press on the outer race only or
equally on the inner and outer race.
2. Insert the spacer
3. Press the second bearing into the roller housing
(Figure 80) pressing equally on the inner and
outer race until the inner race comes in contact
with the spacer.
4. Install the roller assembly into the deck frame.
Important:
Securing the roller assembly
with a gap larger than 1.5 mm (0.060 inch)
creates a side load on the bearing and can
lead to premature bearing failure
5. Verify that there is no more than a 1.5 mm (0.060
inch) gap between roller assembly and the roller
mount brackets of the deck frame. If there is a
gap over 1.5 mm (0.060 inch), install enough 5/8
inch diameter washers to take up the slop.
6. Torque the mounting bolt to 108 N∙m (80 ft-lb).
(Figure 80).

Storage
Preparing the Traction Unit
1. Thoroughly clean the traction unit, cutting decks,
and engine.
2. Check the tire pressure. Inflate all traction unit
tires to 83 to 103 kPa (12 to 15 psi).
3. Check all fasteners for looseness and tighten
them as necessary.
4. Grease all grease fittings and pivot points. Wipe
up any excess lubricant.
5. Lightly sand and use touch-up paint on painted
areas that are scratched, chipped, or rusted.
Repair any dents in the metal body.
6. Service the battery and cables as follows:
A. Remove the battery terminals from the
battery posts.
Note:
Always disconnect the negative
terminal first and the positive last. Always
connect the positive terminal first and the
negative last.
B. Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with
a wire brush and baking soda solution.
C. Coat the cable terminals and battery posts
with Grafo 112X skin-over grease (Toro
Part Number 505-47) or petroleum jelly to
prevent corrosion.
D. Slowly recharge the battery every 60 days
for 24 hours to prevent lead sulfation of the
battery.
Preparing the Engine
1. Drain the engine oil from the oil pan and replace
the drain plug.
2. Remove and discard the oil filter. Install a new
oil filter.
3. Refill the oil pan with designated quantity of
motor oil.
4. Turn the key in the ignition switch to the O
position, start the engine, and run it at idle speed
for approximately 2 minutes.
5. Turn the key in the ignition switch to the O
position.
6. Thoroughly drain all fuel from the fuel tank, lines,
and the fuel filter/water separator assembly.
7. Flush the fuel tank with fresh, clean diesel fuel.
