Connecting The Left-Hand Push Arm To The Cutting Unit - Toro 30716 Operator's Manual

2. Move the cutting unit into position in front of the
traction unit.
3. Measure the distance from the end of the right-hand
push arm to the center of the ball joint (grease fitting)
(Figure 6). The distance should be 70 mm (2-3/4
inches). If the distance is not 70 mm (2-3/4 inches),
loosen the jam nut securing the ball joint to the push
arm and rotate the ball joint in or out until the correct
distance is attained (Figure 6). Do not tighten the jam
nut at this time.

4. Have another person carefully push down on the push
arm until the holes in the ball joint mount line up with
the holes in the castor arm. Immediately slide a 4 x 4
inch block of wood between the top of the push arm
and the underside of the chassis.
5. Secure the ball joint mount to the castor arm with 2
capscrews (7/16 x 3 inches), flat washers (7/16 inches),
and flange nuts (7/16 inches). Position the flat washers
to the outside of the castor arm.
6. Tighten the large jam nut securing the ball joint to the
push arm (Figure 6). When tightening the jam nut, hold
the ball joint straight to permit proper oscillation during
raising and lowering of the cutting unit. Carefully
remove the wood block holding the push arm down.

Procedure
WARNING
The left-hand push arm is spring loaded to about 68
kg (150 lb.). Sudden release of the push arm could
cause injury.
Another person is needed to push the arm down
during this procedure.
1. Remove the 2 capscrews, flat washers, and flange nuts
securing the left-hand ball joint mount and chain
bracket to the left-hand castor arm (Figure 7). Remove
the ball joint mount and chain bracket.
2. Remove the cotter pin and castle nut securing the
left-hand ball joint mount to the left-hand push arm on
the traction unit. Install the ball joint mount (removed
from the castor arm) to the push arm with the castle
nut and cotter pin previously removed (Figure 7).
3. Measure the distance from the end of the left-hand
push arm to the center of the ball joint (grease fitting)
(Figure 7). The distance should be 64 mm (2-1/2
inches). If the distance is not 64 mm (2-1/2 inches),
loosen the jam nut securing the ball joint to the push
arm and rotate the ball joint in or out until the distance
is attained (Figure 7). Do not tighten the jam nut at
this time.
