IDENTIFICATION AND ORDERING
MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBERS
The cutting deck has two identification numbers: a
model number and a serial number. The two numbers
are stamped into a plate on rear of the mower deck,
under cover. In any correspondence concerning the
mower, supply the model and serial numbers to assure
that correct information and replacement parts are
obtained.
To order replacement parts from an authorized TORO
Distributor, supply the following information:
1.
Model and serial numbers of the machine.
2.
Part number, description and quantity of parts
desired.
Note: Do not order by reference number if a parts cata-
log is being used; use the part number.
CORRECTING CUTTING UNIT MIS-
MATCH
If there is mismatch between the blades, the grass will
appear streaked when it is cut. Correct this by making
sure the blades are straight and all blades cut on the same
plane.
1.
Using a 1-meter long carpenters level, find a level
surface on the shop floor.
2.
Raise the height of cut to the highest position.
3.
Lower the cutting unit onto a flat surface. Remove
the covers from the top of the cutting unit.
4.
Unhook the spring from the idler arm bracket to
release belt tension.
5.
Rotate the blades until the ends face forward and
backward. Measure from the floor to the front tip of
the cutting edge and remember this dimension. Then
rotate the same blade so that its opposite end is for-
ward and measure again. The difference between
dimensions must not exceed 32 mm. If it does,
replace the blade because it is bent. Make sure to
measure all blades.
6.
Compare measurements of the outer blades with the
center blade. The center blade must not be more than
94mm lower than the outer blades. If the center
blade is more than 94mm lower than the outer blades,
go to step 7 and add shims between the spindle hous-
ing and the bottom of the cutting unit.
7.
Remove the capscrews, flatwashers, lockwashers and
nuts from the outer spindle in the area where shims
must be added. To raise or lower the blade, add a
shim, Part No. 3256-24, between the spindle housing
and the bottom of cutting unit. Continue to check
alignment of blades and add shims until the tips of
the blades are within the required dimension.
IMPORTANT: Do not use more than three shims
at any one hole location. Use decreasing numbers
of shims in adjacent holes if more than one shim is
added to any one hole location.
8.
Hook the spring onto the idler arm bracket. Reinstall
