Inspection; Installation - Toro Reelmaster 5500-D Service Manual

Inspection

1. Replace reel if diameter has decreased to the service
limit (see Reel Grinding Specifications).
2. Replace reel if blades are bent or cracked.
3. Inspect reel shaft splined inserts and replace if worn
or damaged.
The threaded inserts are installed with thread lock-
ing compound (Loctite 242 or equivalent). One side
is L.H. threads and the other R.H. threads (R.H. has
identification groove on outer surface of flange). To
remove or install threaded spline inserts, use tool
TOR4074. Before installing, apply Loctite 242 or
equivalent to threads and tighten to a torque of 75 -
85 ft-lb (10.4 - 11.8 KgM)
4. Inspect bearings and seals. To replace seals and
bearings:
A. Use a bearing puller tool to remove the bearings.
To prevent damage to bearings, pull on the inner
bearing race. Remove the seals. Note: If bearing is
removed, the seal should be replaced.
B. Install new seals on the reel shaft. Make sure
seals are installed square to shaft.
C. Pack bearings with No. 2 general purpose
grease before installing. Install bearings on reel
shaft by pressing on the inner bearing race.
