Removing Debris From Engine; Replace Fuel Filter; Changing Clutch Housing Oil; Adjusting Clutch - Toro 07052 Operator's Manual

Important
A cracked, fouled, dirty or otherwise
malfunctioning spark plug must be replaced. Do not sand
blast, scrape, or clean electrodes by using a wire brush
because grit may eventually release from the plug and fall
into the cylinder. The result is usually a damaged engine.

Removing Debris From Engine

(Model 07050 only)
To ensure proper cooling, make sure the grass screen,
cooling fins and other external surfaces of the engine are
kept clean at all times.
Every 100 hours of operation (more often under extremely
dusty, dirty conditions) remove the blower housing and
other cooling shrouds and clean the cooling fins and
external surfaces as necessary. Make sure cooling shrouds
are reinstalled.
Note: Operating the engine with a blocked grass screen,
dirty or plugged cooling fins or cooling shrouds removed,
will cause engine damage due to overheating.

Replace Fuel Filter

(Model 07050 only)
Replace fuel filter after every 600 hours of operation.
1. Place a clean container under fuel filter.
2. Remove clamps securing fuel filter to fuel lines.

than cold oil.

to clutch lever, 12 inches above clutch lever pivot shaft.
To check clutch adjustment proceed as follows:
1. Loosely assembly clutch adjusting plates together with
(4) bolts and nuts (Fig. 31).
