Adjusting The Skids; Adjusting The Mower-Deck Rollers; Correcting A Mismatch Between Mower Decks - Toro 30605 Operator's Manual

Adjusting the Skids

Mount the skids in the lower position when operating at
heights of cut greater than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches) and in the
higher position when operating at heights of cut lower than
64 mm (2-1/2 inches).
Note: When the skids become worn, you can switch them to
the opposite sides of the mower by flipping them over. This
allows you to use the skids longer before replacing them.
Adjust the skids (Figure 24).
Important: Torque the screw at the front of each skid to
9 to 11 N∙m (80 to 100 in-lb).

Adjusting the Mower-Deck
Rollers
The mower-deck rollers should be mounted in the lower
position when operating at height of cuts greater than 64 mm
(2-1/2 inches) and in the higher position when operating in
height of cuts lower than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches).
Correcting a Mismatch
Between Mower Decks
Due to differences in grass conditions and the counterbalance
setting of the traction unit, cut a sample area of grass and
check the appearance before starting formal cutting.
1. Set all mower decks to the desired height of cut; refer
to Adjusting the Height of Cut (page
2. Check and adjust the front and rear tire pressures to
172 to 207 kPa (25 to 30 psi).
3. Check and adjust all of caster tire pressures to 345 kPa
(50 psi).
4. Check the charge and counterbalance pressures with
the engine at
HIGH IDLE
Note: Adjust the counterbalance to 2,241 kPa (325
psi).
5. Check for bent blades; refer to
Blade (page 57).
6. Cut grass in a test area to determine if all mower decks
are cutting at the same height.
7. If mower-deck adjustments are still needed, find a flat
surface using a 2 m (6 foot) or a longer straight edge.
8. To ease measuring the blade plane, raise the height of
cut to 7.6 to 10.1 cm (3 to 4 inches); refer to
the Height of Cut (page
9. Lower the mower decks onto a flat surface and remove
the covers from the top of the mower decks.
10. Loosen the flange nut, securing the idler pulley, to
release the belt tension on each mower deck.
