Adjusting The Service Brakes; Changing The Transmission Fluid; Replacing The Transmission Filter - Toro 03550 Reelmaster 5500-D Operator's Manual

Warning
Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, stop the engine and remove the key from
the switch. Lower the cutting units to the ground.

Adjusting the Service Brakes

Adjust the service brakes when there is more than 1 inch
(26 mm) of free travel of the brake pedal, or when the
brakes do not work effectively. Free travel is the distance
the brake pedal moves before braking resistance is felt.
1. Disengage locking pin from brake pedals so both pedals
work independently of each other.
2. To reduce free travel of brake pedals, tighten the brakes
– loosen front nut on threaded end of brake cable. Then
tighten rear nut to move cable backward until brake
pedals have 1/2 to 1 inch (13 mm to 26 mm) of free
travel. Tighten front nuts after brakes are adjusted
correctly.

Changing the Transmission
Fluid
Change the transmission fluid after every 800 hours of
operation, in normal conditions.
1. Position machine on a level surface, lower the cutting
units, stop the engine, engage the parking brakes and
remove key from ignition switch.
2. Clean area around suction line on bottom of
transmission. Place drain pan under line.

3. Remove line from transmission allowing fluid to drain
into drain pan.
4. Reinstall suction line to transmission.
5. Fill with oil; refer to Checking the Transmission Fluid,
page 21.
6. Before starting the engine after changing transmission
fluid, disconnect the run (ETR) solenoid on the engine,
and crank the engine several times for 15 seconds. This
allows the charge pump to fill the transmission with
fluid before the engine is started.
Replacing the Transmission
Filter
Change the transmission filter after the first 10 hours of
operation and every 800 hours, thereafter.
Only the Toro replacement filter (Part No. 75-1330) can be
used in the hydraulic system.
Important Use of any other filter may void the
warranty on some components.
1. Position machine on a level surface, lower the cutting
units, stop the engine, engage the parking brakes and
remove key from ignition switch.
2. Clean area around filter mounting area. Place drain pan
under filter and remove filter.
3. Lubricate new filter gasket and fill the filter with
hydraulic oil.
4. Assure filter mounting area is clean. Screw filter on
until gasket contacts mounting plate. Then tighten filter
one–half turn.
