Maintenance

Maintaining the Tires

Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Check the
condition of the tires and rims.
Every 100 hours—Torque the wheel-lug nuts.
1. Inspect the tires an rims for signs of wear and
damage.
Note:
Operating accidents, such as hitting
curbs, can damage a tire or rim and also disrupt
wheel alignment, so inspect tire condition after
an accident.
2. Torque the wheel-lug nuts to 108 to 122 N∙m (80
to 90 ft-lb).
Adjusting the Front Wheel
Alignment
Service Interval: Every 100 hours/Yearly (whichever
comes first)—Check the front wheel
camber and toe-in.
Preparing to Adjust Camber or
Toe-in
1. Check the tire pressure to ensure that the front
tires are inflated to 82 kPa (12 psi).
2. Either add weight to the driver's seat equal to
the average operator who will run the machine,
or have an operator sit on the seat. The weight
or operator must remain on the seat for the
duration of the adjustment procedure.
3. On a level surface, roll the machine straight back
2 to 3 m (6 to 10 ft) and then straight forward
to the original starting position. This allows the
suspension to settle into the operating position.
Adjusting the Camber
Owner provided tools: spanner wrench, Toro Part
No. 132-5069; refer to your authorized Toro distributor.
Important:
Make the camber adjustments only
if you are using a front attachment or if there is
uneven tire wear.
1. Check the camber alignment at each wheel; the
alignment should be as close to neutral (zero)
as possible.
Note:
The tires should be aligned with the tread
evenly on the ground to reduce uneven wear.
2. If the wheel camber is out of alignment, use the
spanner wrench to rotate the collar on the shock
absorber to align the wheel
1. Shock-absorber spring
2. Collar
Adjusting the Front Wheel Toe-in
Important:
Before adjusting toe-in, ensure that
the camber adjustment is as close to neutral as
possible; refer to Adjusting the Camber (page
1. Measure the distance between both of the front
tires at the axle height at both the front and rear
of the front tires
1. Tire center line—back
2. Tire center line—front
2. If the measurement does not fall within 0 to
6 mm (0 to 1/4 inch), loosen the jam nuts at the
outer end of the tie rods
