Mounting the Wheel Weight
Parts needed for this procedure:
1
Wheel weight
2
Threaded rod
4
Lock washer
2
Flat washer
6
Hex nut
Procedure
Note:
Refer to the traction unit
Operator’s Manual
for the
requirements for the left-side weight.
1.
Measure the depth of the wheel rim by measuring the
distance from the hole to the outside edge of the rim.
2.
Add 3-7/8 inches to the measurement in step
. This
becomes dimension “A” in
Figure 24

“A” dimension
2.
Threaded rod
3.
Thread a hex nut onto each threaded rod to the “A”
dimension.
4.
Insert the threaded rods through 2 opposite holes in
the rim and secure them in place with lockwashers (1/2
inch) and hex nuts (
).
5.
Place the wheel weight over the ends of the threaded
rods and secure in place with the flat washers, lock
washers, and hex nuts (
).
Note:
Do not overtighten the hex nuts or damage to
the plastic housing of the weight may occur.
Note:
If there is excess thread protruding from the
nuts or inside of wheel, cut it off with a hacksaw. The
threaded rod must not contact any parts of the machine
while the wheel is rotating.
Important:
Refer to the weight chart in the
traction unit
Operator’s Manual for additional
weight requirements
Note:
When the hopper is used with a 62-inch deck
(Model 30551) and blower kit (Model 30506) on a
Groundsmaster 3280-D or a Groundsmaster 3320, you
must use the wheel weight kit (11-0440). Secure both
weights to the left wheel using 4 bolts (1/2-13 x 4-1/2
inch) (Toro Part Number 325-18) and the 4 nuts (1/2
inch) included in the kit. The supplied wheel weight
will contact the rear castor wheel on the deck, if it is
installed.
Operation
Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Before Operating the Hopper
1.
Start the engine.
2.
Raise and lower the hopper several times by moving
the control-valve lever forward to lower the hopper
and moving the lever rearward to raise the hopper.
3.
Check the operation of the interlock switch as follows:
•
Raise the hopper and engage the PTO switch while
the engine is running. The engine should stop
within 2 seconds. If the engine stops, the switch is
operating correctly; proceed to next step. If the
engine does not stop, there is a malfunction in the
interlock system.
•
Raise the hopper and press the traction pedal
while the engine is running and the PTO lever
is disengaged. The engine should stop within 2
seconds. If the engine stops, the switch is operating
correctly; continue operation. If the engine does
not stop, there is a malfunction in the interlock
system.
4.
Stop the engine.
5.
Check for hydraulic leaks.
6.
Check the level of hydraulic fluid in the front axle and
replenish it as necessary. Refer to the traction unit
Operator’s Manual
for specifications.
Operating the Hopper
For a 52-, 60-, or 62-inch Blower Kit
Move the control-valve lever forward to lower the hopper;
move the lever rearward to raise the hopper.
