Checking The Reel To Bedknife Contact; Check The Torque Of The Wheel; Nuts; Bleeding The Fuel System - Toro 03540 Reelmaster 5200-D Operator's Manual

4. Remove each end check plug and add enough
lubricant to bring the level up to the bottom of
each check plug hole.
5. Install all plugs.
Checking the Reel to
Bedknife Contact
Each day before operating, check reel to bedknife
contact, regardless if the quality of cut had
previously been acceptable. There must be light
contact across the full length of the reel and the
bedknife (refer to Adjusting the Reel to Bedknife
in the cutting unit Operator's Manual).
Check the Torque of the
Wheel Nuts
Torque the wheel nuts to 75 to 80 ft-lb (102 to 108
N⋅m) after 1-4 hours of operation and again after
10 hours of operation. Torque every 250 hours
thereafter.
Failure to maintain proper torque of the
wheel nuts could result in personal injury.

Bleeding the Fuel System

You must bleed the fuel system before starting
the engine if any of the following situations have
occurred:
• Initial start up of a new machine.
• Engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
• Maintenance has been performed upon
fuel system components; i.e., filter replaced,
separator serviced, etc.
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive.
A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you
and others and can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank
outdoors, in an open area, when the
engine is off and is cold. Wipe up any
fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add fuel to the fuel tank until the level
is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows the fuel to
expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and
stay away from an open flame or where
fuel fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved
container and keep the cap in place.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and ensure
that the fuel tank is at least half full.
2. Open the hood.
3. Open the air bleed screw on the fuel injection
pump (Figure 31) with a 12 mm wrench.
