  • Page 8 In the event of a breakaway cable being activated ensure that there is no interference on the brake coupling mechanism. Replace damaged or worn brake coupling mechanism components with the correct Toro service parts. Never make an unauthorised modification to any part of the machine or brake coupling mechanism.
  • Page 9 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Preparation continued Check the mower hydraulic system, particularly the hydraulic hoses, fittings and hose supports. Worn, crushed or damaged hoses can burst, with risks to health and damage to the machine and surrounding turf areas. After refuelling and adding oil to the hydraulic oil tank ensure that the caps are replaced securely. Check that all linkages, connections and pivot nuts are secure and that wheel nuts are torqued correctly, refer to SPECIFICATIONS.

    1.68 MAINTENANCE 1.68 Cutterhead Cylinder to Bottom Blade Adjustment IMPORTANT: PREVENT DAMAGE - It is essential that the relationship between the bot- tom blades and the cutting cylinders is kept in good adjustment in order to ensure good cutting performance, minimum power consumption and prolonged life for the cutting edges.
  • Page 69 1.69 MAINTENANCE 1.69 Cutterhead Cylinder to Bottom Blade Adjustment continued Do not be tempted to over adjust, thus causing heavy contact between the cylinder and bottom blade, as this will cause very rapid uneven wear to take place leading to tram lining and waviness of the cutting edges.
  • Page 70: Cutterhead Back Lapping 1.70

    1.70 MAINTENANCE 1.70 Cutterhead Back Lapping This process is recommended for restoring the sharp cutting edges to cylinders and bottom blades which are essential for good quality grass cutting. This process can only deal with a small amount of metal removal to restore the cutting edges. If the blade edges are seriously worn or damaged it will be necessary to remove the component parts and have them reground.
