Inspecting Tires; Front Wheel Toe-In; Fuses; Battery - Toro 07253TC Operator's Manual

Inspecting Tires

Check tire condition at least every 100 hours of
operation. Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs,
can damage a tire or rim and also disrupt wheel
alignment, so inspect tire condition after an accident.

Front Wheel Toe-in

After every 400 operating hours or annually, check
front wheel toe-in.
1. Measure the distance between both of the front
tires at axle height (at the front and rear of the
wheels) (Fig. 29). Front measurement must be
equal to the rear measurement 3mm (l/8 in.).

2. To adjust, loosen jam nuts at both ends of tie
rods (Fig. 30).
3. Rotate both tie rods to move front of tire inward
or outward.
