Greasing The Machine; Servicing The Brakes - Toro 07252 Operator's Manual

Installing the Filter Element
Important To prevent engine damage, always operate
the engine with the complete air cleaner assembly installed.
1. Inspect the new filter for shipping damage. Check the
sealing end of the filter.
Important Do not install a damaged filter.
2. Insert the new filter into air cleaner body. Ensure the
filter is sealed properly by applying pressure to the
outer rim of the filter when installing it. Do not press on
the flexible center of the filter.
3. Install the cover and secure the latches.

Greasing the Machine

Lubricate all of the bearings and bushings every 100 hours
or once a year, whichever occurs first. Grease them more
frequently when using the vehicle for heavy-duty
operations.
Grease Type: No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease
Where to Add Grease
The grease fitting locations are at the four tie rod ends
(Fig. 29) and the two king pins (Fig. 30).
The throttle and the two brake pedal pivots (Fig. 31) are not
greased at the factory and should only be greased when and
if the pedals begin to stick.
1. Wipe the grease fitting clean so foreign matter cannot
be forced into the bearing or bushing.
2. Pump grease into the bearing or bushing.
3. Wipe off excess grease.

Servicing the Brakes

Inspecting the Brakes
Brakes are a critical safety component of the vehicle. As
with all safety components, they should be closely
inspected at regular intervals to ensure optimum
performance and safety. The following inspections should
be done every 100 hours:
Inspect the brake shoes for wear or damage. If the
lining (brake pad) thickness is less than 1/16 in.
(1.6 mm), the brake shoes should be replaced.
Inspect the backing plate and other components for
signs of excessive wear or deformation. If any
deformation is found, the appropriate components must
be replaced.
Adjusting the Brake Pedal
m–5320
Adjust the brake if the parking brake does not hold, the
brake pedal travel is excessive, or braking power is not
sufficient when the brake pedal is depressed. Check the
adjustment every 200 hours.
1. Turn the ignition off and remove the key.
