Avoid unexpected starting of engine...
Always turn off the engine and disconnect the spark
plug wire(s) before cleaning, adjusting, or repair.
Avoid lacerations and amputations...
Stay clear of all moving parts whenever the engine is
running. Treat all normally moving parts as if they were
moving whenever the engine is running or has the
potential to start.
Avoid burns...
Do not touch the engine, muffler, or other components
which may increase in temperature during operation,
while the unit is running or shortly after it has been
running.
Avoid fires and explosions...
Avoid spilling fuel and never smoke while working with
any type of fuel or lubricant. Wipe up any spilled fuel or
oil immediately. Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel
when the engine is running. Always use approved,
labeled containers for storing or transporting fuel and
lubricants.
Avoid injury from batteries...
Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Battery gases
can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away
from the battery.
Avoid injury due to inferior parts...
Use only original equipment parts to ensure that
important safety criteria are met.
Avoid injury to bystanders...
Always clear the area of bystanders before starting or
testing powered equipment.
Avoid injury due to projectiles...
Always clear the area of sticks, rocks, or any other
debris that could be picked up and thrown by the
powered equipment.
Avoid modifications...
Never alter or modify any part unless it is a factory
approved procedure.
Avoid asphyxiation...
Never operate an engine in a confined area without
proper ventilation.

The transaxle is a sealed system and does not require periodic checking. If the
oil needs to be checked, IT CAN ONLY BE CHECKED COLD. There is a plug
located on the right rear side of the transaxle. Using a ¼ inch Allen wrench,
slowly remove the plug. Oil level should be to the bottom of the port.

Torque Specifications
Recommended fastener torque values are listed in the
following tables. For critical applications, as determined
by Toro, either the recommended torque or a torque
that is unique to the application is clearly identified and
specified in the service manual.
These torque specifications for the installation and
tightening of fasteners shall apply to all fasteners which
do not have a specific requirement identified in the
service manual. The following factors shall be
considered when applying torque: cleanliness of the
fastener, use of a thread sealant (Loctite), degree of
lubrication on the fastener, presence of a prevailing
torque feature, hardness of the surface underneath of
the fastener’s head, or similar condition which affects
the installation.
As noted in the following tables, torque values should
be reduced by 25% for lubricated fasteners to
achieve the similar stress as a dry fastener. Torque
values may also have to be reduced when the fastener
is threaded into aluminum or brass. The specific torque
value should be determined based on the aluminum or
brass material strength, fastener size, length of thread
engagement, etc.

The standard method of verifying torque shall be
performed by marking a line on the fastener (head or
nut) and mating part, then back off fastener 1/4 of a
turn. Measure the torque required to tighten the
fastener until the lines match up.

Front Wheel Toe-in
The machine should be greased every 50 hours or
yearly, whichever occurs first. You should grease more
frequently when operating conditions are extremely
dusty or sandy.
Grease Type: General-purpose grease.
There are 5 grease fittings located in the front axle
area:
1.One located on the inside of each wheel hub (2
total).
2.One located on each end of the front axle for the
spindles (2 total).
If there is uneven tire wear, lawn scuffing, or hard
steering, toe-in may need to be adjusted. The front
toe-in measurement should be 1/8” to ¼” (3 to 6mm).
This should be checked every 100 hours or once a
year, whichever occurs first.
MEASUREMENT:
1.Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and
turn the ignition key to OFF to stop the engine.
Remove the key.

2.Push the front of the tires out to remove normal
looseness in the linkage (Figure 5).

3.Measure the distance between both the front rims
at spindle level, in front and rear of the wheels.
You can also measure between the tread mold
marks if the tires are new (Figure 6).
MVC-747
4.The front measurement should be 1/8” to ¼”
(3mm to 6mm) less than the rear measurement
(Figure 7). If needed, follow the adjustment
procedure.

1.Remove the tie rod from one steering arm.
2.Loosen the jam nut securing the ball joint to the
steering rod. Rotate the ball joint one turn:
clockwise to increase toe-in; counterclockwise to
decrease toe-in (Figure 8).
IMPORTANT: If more than one turn is required
to meet specifications, alternate between the
right and left steering rods to maintain
steering wheel alignment.
