Adjust Lock-Up Roller; Adjust Lift Arm Down Pressure - Toro Reelmaster 5200-D Service Manual

Adjust Lock-up Roller

Adjust lock-up rollers so they contact the lock-up lever
on each rear lift arm and support the cutting units when
fully raised. The cutting units should have approximately
3/8 to 5/8 inch (9.5 to 15.9 mm) vertical travel when mea-
sured at the rear roller.

Adjust Lift Arm Down Pressure

The down pressure spring on each cutting unit lift arm
can be adjusted to compensate for different turf condi-
tions. Increased down pressure will help keep the cut-
ting units on the ground when mowing at higher speeds
and helps maintain a uniform height-of-cut in rough con-
ditions or in areas of thatch build up.
Each down pressure spring may be adjusted to one of
four (4) settings. Each increment increases or de-
creases down pressure on cutting unit by 8 lbs (37 N).
1. Put machine on a level surface, lower the cutting
units, stop the engine, engage the parking brakes and
remove key from ignition switch.
2. Remove floor plate in front of seat and open the hood
to get access to all five (5) springs.
Springs are under tension. Use caution when ad-
justing.
3. Put an open end wrench on hex shaft of spring brack-
et.
NOTE: Because wrench can be moved only a limited
distance, it may be necessary to use a second wrench
to hold hex shaft while re-positioning other wrench for
further rotation of hex shaft.
