contact as needed. Move the cutting unit reel
speed control to the desired mowing position.
Important:
If the backlap switch is not
returned to the F (M
OW
) position after
backlapping, the cutting units will not raise
or function properly.
Note:
For a better cutting edge, run a file across
the front face of the bedknife after lapping. This
removes any burrs or rough edges that may
have built up on the cutting edge.
Storage
Storing the Battery
If the machine will be stored more than 30 days,
remove the battery and charge it fully. Store
the battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick
deterioration of the charge in the battery. To prevent
the battery from freezing, ensure that it is fully
charged. The specific gravity of a fully charged battery
is 1.265 to 1.299.
Preparing the Machine for
Seasonal Storage
Follow these procedures anytime you will be storing
the machine for more than 30 days.
Preparing the Traction Unit
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, engage the parking brake, shut off
the engine, and remove the key from the ignition
switch.
2.
Thoroughly clean the traction unit, the cutting
units, and the engine.
3.
Check the tire pressure. Inflate all tires to 83
kPa (12 psi).
4.
Check all fasteners for looseness; tighten as
necessary.
5.
Grease or oil all grease fittings and pivot points.
Wipe up any excess lubricant.
6.
Lightly sand and use touch-up paint on painted
areas that are scratched, chipped, or rusted.
Repair any dents in the metal body.
7.
Service the battery and cables as follows:
A.
Remove the battery terminals from the
battery posts.
B.
Remove the battery.
C.
Slowly charge the battery before storage
and every 60 days thereafter for 24 hours to
prevent lead sulfation of the battery.
To prevent the battery from freezing, make
sure it is fully charged. The specific gravity
of a fully charged battery is 1.265 to 1.299.
D.
Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with
a wire brush and baking-soda solution.
E.
Coat the cable terminals and battery posts
with Grafo 112X skin-over grease (Toro Part
No. 505-47) or petroleum jelly to prevent
corrosion.
