Adding Rear Ballast; No Parts Required - Toro 04357 Operator's Manual

1. Lift arm
4. Slide the sleeve back on the ball joint and rotate the
pull arm down so the socket fits over the ball stud.
Release the sleeve so it slides over the stud and locks
the assemblies together (Figure 11).
5. Mount the baskets on the pull frames, loosen the
jam nuts on the pull arms, and adjust the ball sockets
until there is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) clearance
between the lip of the basket and the reel blades or
the front shield.
Note: This prevents the basket from tipping the
cutting unit forward, causing the lift roller to come
off of the lift arm while in the mowing operation.
Be sure the basket lip is equidistant from the reel
blades all across each reel. If the basket is too close
to the reel, it is possible for the reel to contact the
basket when the cutting unit is raised off of the
ground.
6. Align the sockets in the ball joints so the open side
of the socket is centered towards the ball stud.
Tighten the jam nuts to secure the sockets in position
(Figure 13).

8. Remove the protective covers from the cutting units
and the reel drive motor shafts.
Note: Retain the protective covers for the cutting
units. Install them whenever the reel drive motors
are removed to protect the cutting unit bearings
from contamination.
9. Using a hand pump grease gun, fill the cavity at the
end of the cutting unit with #2 general purpose
grease.
10. Coat the spline shaft of the motor with clean grease
and install the motor by rotating the motor clockwise
so that the motor flanges clear the studs. Rotate
the motor counterclockwise until the flanges are
encircling the studs.
11. Tighten the mounting bolts (Figure 14).
