Level - Toro 07280 Operator's Manual

Note: The driver should drive up to the
measurement area and stay seated in the vehicle
while the measurement is being taken.
If the vehicle will be run with medium to heavy
loads most of the time, set the toe-in on the
high side of the recommended amount. If it
is going to be run with a light load most of
the time, set the toe-in on the low side of the
recommended amount.
1. Ensure that the front suspension is adjusted
properly; refer to Adjusting the Front
Suspension. Adjust if necessary.
2. Measure the distance between both of the
front tires at the axle height at both the front
and rear of the front tires (Figure 28). A fixture
or alignment gauge is needed for the rear
measurement of the front tires at axle height.
Use the same fixture or alignment gauge to
accurately measure the front of the front tires
at axle height (Figure 28).

Checking the Transaxle Oil

Level

Check the oil level in the transaxle at the rear of
the vehicle every 100 operating hours.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, set the
parking brake, and turn off and remove the key.
2. Remove the check bolt on the transaxle
(Figure 30).
The oil level should be even with the bottom
of the check hole.

the check hole until it runs out the hole.
