Adjusting The Transport Height - Toro 04383 Operator's Manual

Note: The pull link assemblies are preset at the factory. If
they ever need to be disassembled, reassemble them to the
dimensions shown in Figure 13.
7. Mount the basket onto the carrier frame.
8. Adjust the pull links until there is 1/4 to 3/8 in. (6 to
9 mm) clearance between the lip of the basket and the
reel blades. Make sure the basket lips are equidistant
from the reel blades all the way across the reel blades.
9. Assemble the mounting screws for the reel drive motor
to each cutting unit. Leave approximately 1/2 in.
(13 mm) of the threads exposed on each mounting
screw (Fig. 14).

10. Remove the protective covers from the cutting units
and the reel drive motor shafts.
Note: Retain the protective covers for the cutting units.
Install them whenever the reel drive motors are removed
to protect the cutting unit bearings from contamination.
11. Coat the spline shaft of the motor with clean grease
and install the motor by rotating the motor clockwise
so the motor flanges clear the studs. Rotate the motor
counterclockwise until the flanges are encircling the
studs and tighten the mounting capscrews (Fig. 14).
12. Using a hand pump grease gun, fill the cavity at the
end of the cutting unit with #2 general purpose grease.

Adjusting the Transport Height

Check the transport height (Fig. 15) and adjust, if
required, as follows:
1. Position the tractor on a level surface.
2. Verify that the distance from the top of the carrier
frame adjusting screw (Fig. 15) and the back of the
carrier frame is 7/8 in. (22 mm).

3. Loosen the transport plate mounting screws (Fig. 15).
4. Raise the cutting units to the transport position.
Important
Do not raise the suspension to the transport
position when the reel motors are in the holders in the
traction unit frame. Damage to the motors or hoses could
result.
5. Ensure each carrier frame is at the same height from
the ground. If they are, proceed to step 7.
6. If the carrier frames are not at the same height, loosen
the jam nut on the carrier frame adjusting screw
(Fig. 15). Rotate the screw outward to raise and inward
to lower. Tighten the jam nut after the proper height is
obtained.
7. Rotate the transport plate until it locks the pull frame.
Tighten the screws.
