Toro Mower Safety

The following list contains safety information specific to Toro products or other safety information that you must know that is not included in the ANSI standards.

This product is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious injury or death.

Use of this product for purposes other than its intended use could prove dangerous to user and bystanders.

• The grass deflector must always be installed and in the

lowest position on the side discharge cutting unit. Never operate the mower without the deflector or entire grass collector.

• If the cutting unit discharge area ever plugs, shut the

engine off before removing the obstruction.

• Cut grass slopes carefully. Do not start, stop, or turn

suddenly.

• Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is

running or soon after it has stopped because these areas could be hot enough to cause burns.

Maintenance and Storage

• Check the blade mounting bolts frequently to be sure

that they are tightened to specification.

• Make sure that all hydraulic line connectors are tight

and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.

• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or

nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious injury.

2. Position the machine and cutting unit on a level surface

and lower the cutting unit. Remove the dipstick/fill plug from the top of the gear box (Fig. 23) and make sure that the lubricant is between the marks on the dipstick. If the lubricant level is low, add SAE 80–90 wt. gear lube until the level is between the marks.

Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

Using the Grass Deflector

Danger

Without the grass deflector mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris. Contact with the rotating mower blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or death.

Greasing the Cutting Unit

Before the cutting unit is operated, it must be greased to ensure proper lubricating characteristics; refer to Greasing the Bearings, Bushings, and Gear Box, page 17. Failure to properly grease the cutting unit will result in premature failure of critical parts.

• Never remove the grass deflector from the

mower because the grass deflector routes material down toward the turf. If the grass deflector is ever damaged, replace it immediately.

• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.

• Never operate the mower with the deflector

removed from the cutting unit or tied/blocked in a raised position.

Note: The deflector is spring loaded into its downward

normal operating position (Fig. 18), but the operator can temporarily swing it out of the way to facilitate loading in a trailer or when otherwise necessary.

Adjusting the Tension Spring

For best performance, the cutting unit bounce on uneven turf is minimal and it does not ride heavily over flat terrain. If scalping occurs or the cut is uneven from side to side, there may too much weight on the deck and weight may have to be transferred to the traction unit: i.e. increased spring tension.

By contrast, if too much weight is transferred to the traction unit, the deck will bounce excessively and the cut will be uneven. If the cutting unit does not perform properly, adjust the tension spring as follows:

1. Stop the machine on a level surface, set the parking

brake, fully raise the cutting unit, turn the ignition key to Off, and remove the key.

2. Remove the hairpin cotter from the clevis pin securing

the spring end to the spring cover and remove the clevis pin. Align the top spring end hole with the new hole selected in the spring cover, insert the clevis pin, and secure it with the hairpin cotter.

3. Resume operations. If further adjustments are required,

repeat the procedure.

Caution

The counterbalance spring is in tension when the deck is in the lowered position.

Always raise the deck before adjusting or removing the spring.

Servicing the Castor Arm Bushings

lubricated, bearing wear will be minimal. However, failure to keep the bearing lubricated will cause rapid wear. A wobbly castor wheel usually indicates a worn bearing.

The castor arms have bushings pressed into the top and bottom of the tube and after many hours of operation, the bushings will wear. To check the bushings, move the castor fork back and forth and from side to side. If the castor spindle is loose inside the bushings, the bushings are worn and must be replaced.

1. Raise the cutting unit so that the wheels are off of the

floor and block it so that it cannot accidentally fall.

2. Remove the tensioning cap, spacer(s), and thrust washer

from the top of the castor spindle.

3. Pull the castor spindle out of the mounting tube. Allow

the thrust washer and spacer(s) to remain on the bottom of the spindle.

4. Insert a pin punch into the top or bottom of the

mounting tube and drive the bushing out of the tube. Also drive the other bushing out of the tube (Fig. 27). Clean the inside of the tubes to remove dirt.

1. Remove the locknut from the capscrew holding the

castor wheel assembly between the castor fork (Fig. 28). Grasp the castor wheel and slide the capscrew out of the fork.

2. Pull the spanner bushing out of the wheel hub (Fig. 28).

3. Remove the bushing from the wheel hub and allow the

bearing to fall out. Remove the bushing from the opposite side of the wheel hub.

4. Check the bearing, spanner, and inside of the wheel hub

for wear. Replace damaged parts.

5. To assemble the castor wheel, push the bushing into the

wheel hub. Slide the bearing into the wheel hub. Push the other bushing into the open end of the wheel hub to captivate the bearing inside the wheel hub (Fig. 28).

6. Carefully slide the spanner through the bushings and the

wheel hub.

7. Install the castor wheel assembly between the castor

fork and secure it in place with the capscrew, washers, and locknut.

8. Lubricate the castor wheel bearing through the grease

fitting, using No. 2 general purpose lithium base grease.

Checking for a Bent Blade

1. Position the machine on a level surface, raise the cutting

unit, engage the parking brake, put the traction pedal in neutral, the PTO lever in the Off position, shut the engine Off, remove the ignition key, and disconnect the wires from the spark plugs. Block the cutting unit to prevent it from accidentally falling.

2. Grasp the end of the blade using a rag or thickly padded

glove. Remove the blade bolt, anti-scalp cup, and blade from the spindle shaft (Fig. 30).

2. Rotate the blade until the ends face forward and

backward. Measure from the inside of the cutting unit to the cutting edge at the front of the blade (Fig. 29), and remember this dimension.

Figure 29

3. Rotate the opposite end of the blade forward. Measure

between the cutting unit and cutting edge of the blade at the same position as in step 2. The difference between the dimensions obtained in steps 2 and 3 must not exceed 1/8 in. (3 mm). If the dimension exceeds 1/8 in. (3 mm), replace the blade because it is bent; refer to Removing the Cutting Blade, page 21.

Removing the Cutting Blade

The blade must be replaced if a solid object is hit, or the blade is out-of-balance, worn, or bent. Always use genuine Toro replacement blades to ensure safety and optimum performance. Never use blades made by other manufacturers because they could be dangerous.

Danger

A worn or damaged blade can break, and a piece of the blade could be thrown into the operator’s or bystander’s area, resulting in serious personal injury or death.

• Inspect the blade periodically for wear or

damage.

• Do not try to straighten a blade that is bent.

• Never weld a broken or cracked blade.

• Replace a worn or damaged blade with a new

Toro blade to ensure continued safety certification of the product.

1. Position the machine on a level surface, raise the cutting

unit, engage the parking brake, put the traction pedal in neutral, the PTO lever in the Off position, shut the engine off, remove the ignition key, and disconnect the wires from the spark plugs. Block the cutting unit to prevent it from accidentally falling.

Figure 30

1. Blade bolt 2. Anti-scalp cup

3. Install the blade—sail facing toward the cutting

unit—with the anti-scalp cup and blade bolt. Tighten the blade bolt to 85–110 ft.-lb. (115–149 N⋅m).

Inspecting and Sharpening the Blade

Two areas must be considered when checking and servicing the cutting blade: the sail and the cutting edge. Both cutting edges and the sail, which is the turned up portion opposite the cutting edge, contribute to a good quality-of-cut. The sail is important because it pulls grass up straight, thereby producing an even cut. However, the sail will gradually wear down during operation, and this condition is normal. As the sail wears down, the quality-of-cut will degrade somewhat, although the cutting edges are sharp. The cutting edge of the blade must be sharp so that the grass is cut rather than torn. A dull cutting edge is evident when the tips of the grass appear brown and shredded. Sharpen the cutting edges to correct this condition.

1. Position the machine on a level surface, raise the cutting

2. Examine the cutting ends of the blade carefully,

especially where the flat and curved parts of the blade meet (Fig. 31-A). Since sand and abrasive material can wear away the metal that connects the flat and curved parts of the blade, check the blade before using the machine. If wear is noticed (Fig. 31-B), replace the blade; refer to Removing the Cutting Blade, page 21.

3. Examine the cutting edges of all blades. Sharpen the

cutting edges if they are dull or nicked. Sharpen only the top side of the cutting edge and maintain the original cutting angle to ensure sharpness (Fig. 32). The blade will remain balanced if the same amount of metal is removed from both cutting edges.

Warning

If the blade is allowed to wear, a slot will form between the sail and flat part of the blade (Fig. 31-C). Eventually, a piece of the blade may break off and be thrown from under the housing, possibly resulting in serious injury to yourself or bystanders.

Mismatch

If one cutting blade cuts lower than the others, correct them as follows:

1. Lower the cutting unit onto a level surface, engage the

parking brake, put the traction pedal in neutral, the PTO lever in the Off position, shut the engine off, remove the ignition key, and disconnect the wires from the spark plugs. Make sure that the tire pressure is equal on all tires.

2. Raise the height-of-cut to the 4 in. (102 mm) position;

refer to Adjusting the Height-of-Cut, page 13.

3. Rotate the blades so that the tips line up with one

another. The tips of the adjacent blades must be within 1/8 in. (3 mm) of each other. If the tips are not within 1/8 in. (3 mm) of each other, proceed to step 9 and add shims between the spindle housing and bottom of the cutting unit.

4. Check to make sure that the front height-of-cut pins are

resting properly on the frame cushions. If the pins are not resting properly, place a shim or shims under the cushion to raise it for proper alignment.

5. Position all 3 blades in the “A” position (Fig. 33) and

measure from the level surface to the bottom of the tip end of each blade (Fig. 34).

• Inspect the blade periodically for wear or

damage.

• Replace a worn or damaged blade with a new

Toro blade to ensure continued safety certification of the product.

8. Compare the measurements at various positions. All

dimensions must be equal within 1/4 in. (6 mm) from any 2 adjacent blades. The difference between the dimensions of all 3 blades must not exceed 3/8 in. (10 mm). If the difference exceeds specifications, proceed to step 9.

9. Remove the capscrews, flat washers, and locknuts from

the outer spindle in the area where the shims must be added. To raise or lower the blade, add a shim, Part No. 3256-24, between the spindle housing and bottom of the cutting unit. Continue checking the alignment of the blades and adding shims until the tips of the blades are within the required dimension.

Replacing the Grass Deflector

1. Position the machine on a level surface, raise the cutting

unit, engage the parking brake, put the traction pedal in neutral, the PTO lever in the Off position, shut the engine off, and remove the ignition key. Block the cutting unit to prevent it from accidentally falling.

2. Remove the 2 capscrews, locknuts, and springs securing

the deflector mounts to the pivot brackets (Fig. 35).

4. Install the pivot brackets on top of the discharge

opening with the carriage bolts and nuts. The head of the carriage bolts must be on the inside of the cutting unit.

5. Position the deflector mounts on the pivot brackets and

secure the parts together with the capscrews, locknuts, and springs. Both locknuts must face each other. Tighten the locknuts until they are flush against the deflector pivots.

6. Lift the deflector and allow it to drop to check the

spring tension. The deflector must be held firmly in the full downward position by the spring tension. Correct it if necessary.

Adjusting the Idler Pulley

The idler pulley applies force against the belt so that power can be transmitted to the blade pulleys. If the idler is not tensioned against the belt with sufficient force, maximum power will not be transmitted to the pulleys. Tension on the belt requires 40 to 50 ft.-lb. (54 to 68 N⋅m) of torque on the large nut, which applies force against the belt. If the idler is not adjusted to these specifications, an adjustment is necessary.

1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the

cutting unit, engage the parking brake, put the traction pedal in neutral, the PTO lever in the Off position, shut the engine off, and remove the ignition key.

2. Release and unhook the latches securing the center

cover to the top of the cutting unit. Remove the cover from the cutting unit.

3. Loosen the 2 nuts securing the idler plate in place.

Using a socket and torque wrench, tighten the idler adjusting nut to 40–50 ft.-lb. (54 to 68 N⋅m) (Fig. 36).

4. Hold the torque against the belt and tighten the 2 nuts so

that the idler plate is held securely in place. Release the idler adjusting nut. Install the cover and secure the latches.

Page 24

Adjusting the Cover Latches

If the cutting unit covers fit loose, the latch tension may be adjusted by loosening the latch mounting screws and sliding the latches (slotted mounting holes in the cutting unit) to the proper position.

Replacing the Drive Belt

The blade drive belt, tensioned by the adjustable idler, is very durable. However, after many hours of use, the belt will show signs of wear. Signs of a worn belt are: squealing when the belt is rotating, blades slipping when cutting grass, frayed edges, burn marks, and cracks. Replace the belt if any of these conditions are evident.

1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the

cutting unit, engage the parking brake, put the traction pedal in neutral, the PTO lever in the Off position, shut the engine off, and remove the ignition key.

2. Release and unhook the latches securing the covers to

the top of the cutting unit. Remove the covers.

3. Loosen the 2 nuts securing the idler plate in place and

remove the old belt from the pulleys.

4. To install a new belt, the gear box base must be

removed. To do this, remove the 4 carriage bolts and locknuts holding the gear box base.

5. Install the new belt around the gear box pulley, spindle

pulleys, stationary idler pulley, and adjustable idler pulley (Fig. 37).

6. Install the gear box base with the carriage bolts and

locknuts.

7. Using a torque wrench, adjust the tension of the idler

pulley against the belt; refer to Adjusting the Idler Pulley, page 23.

8. Install the covers and secure the latches.
