Inspecting The Rotor Blades; Changing The Engine Oil - Toro 38472 Operator's Manual

1. Adjuster link
2. Z-fitting
Note:
You can pull up the adjuster link and
cable to make unhooking the spring easier.
2. Move the Z-fitting to a higher or lower hole on
the adjuster link as needed to obtain the 2 to 3
mm (1/16 to 1/8 inch) gap between the control
bar and the handle
Note:
Moving the Z-fitting higher decreases the
gap between the control bar and the handle;
moving it lower increases the gap.
3. Hook the spring to the adjuster link and slide the
spring cover over the adjuster link.
4. Check the adjustment; refer to
Control Cable (page
Note:
The belt may slip (squeal) in wet
conditions; to dry out the drive system, start the
rotor and run it without a load for 30 seconds.

Inspecting the Rotor Blades

Service Interval: Yearly—Inspect the rotor blades
and have an Authorized Service
Dealer replace the rotor blades and
scraper if necessary.
Before each session, inspect the rotor blades for
wear. When a rotor-blade edge has worn down to
the wear-indicator hole, have an Authorized Service
Dealer replace the rotor blades and the scraper
(Figure 22).

Changing the Engine Oil

Service Interval: After the first 2 hours
Yearly
If possible, run the engine for a few minutes before
changing the oil to warm it. Warm oil flows better and
carries more contaminants.

*There is residual oil in the crankcase after you drain
the oil. Do not pour the entire capacity of oil into the
crankcase. Fill the crankcase with oil as directed in
the following steps.
1. Ensure that the fuel tank is not overfilled (refer

place.
2. Move the machine to a level surface.
3. Place an oil-drain pan under the oil-drain plug
(Figure 9), remove the oil-drain plug, and tip the
machine backward (handle down) halfway to the
ground to drain the used oil into the oil-drain pan.
Important:
way back to the ground, or fuel may leak out
of the machine.
4. After draining the used oil, return the machine to
the operating position.
5. Install the oil-drain plug and tighten it securely.
6. Clean around the oil fill/dipstick
7. Unscrew the dipstick and remove it.
8. Carefully pour about 3/4 of the engine capacity
of oil into the oil-fill tube.
