4. Use the following calculation to establish how much shorter the shaft must be, when connected, to ensure a clearance of 1-1/2 inches (37 mm): A. Subtract the dimension recorded in step 2 from the dimension recorded in step 1. Record this dimension. 1 B. Subtract the result in step 4A from 1-1/2 inches (37 mm). The PTO shaft must be shortened by this amount. 5. Using a hacksaw, cut the guards and the steel tubes shorter by the calculated length. Cut both halves of the PTO shaft. Figure 2 6.
Caution Before leaving the operator’s seat on the tractor, wait for the engine and all moving parts to stop. 4. Block the wheels. 5. Disconnect the safety shield chains from the tractor or PTO shield. Secure the end of the chain to the impeller side of the PTO shaft to prevent the PTO shaft from coming apart. 1 6. Disconnect the PTO shaft from the tractor output shaft. 7. Slide the PTO shaft back and remove it from the tractor. Figure 4 8.
1. Park machine on a level surface and stop engine. Make sure machine has been operated so oil is warm. Check level of oil by viewing sight gauge. If oil is up to middle of gauge, oil level is sufficient. Before Operating Caution If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously injure you or other bystanders. Remove the key from the ignition before you do any maintenance.
Auxiliary Control Operation Used to operate Combination Deck, Model 07082. Up position starts the deck and down position stops the deck. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Tractor PTO Caution The vacuum fan on the Versa Vac will run as soon as the PTO is engaged. The Finger and Combination Decks are engaged by the hydraulic controls on the Versa Vac.
Transporting the Equipment Manual Door Operation The Versa Vac can be transported to work sites by virtually any vehicle with a draw bar type hitch attachment. THE VERSA VAC IS NOT DESIGNED FOR HIGHWAY TOWING. To manually open the rear door of the Versa Vac without dumping the box: • Remove cotter pins and washers securing rear of door links to frame pins (Fig. 8). • The wide floatation turf tires are NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE and are only for speeds below 15 mph.

Door link Figure 11 Inspection And Cleanup After Operation 1. Vacuum chute hose door When operation has been completed, thoroughly clean and wash the machine. Air dry trailer. After cleaning, it is recommended that the machine be inspected for possible damage to all mechanical components.
Changing Hydraulic Oil Maintenance Change hydraulic oil filter initially after the first 50 hours of operation, thereafter change hydraulic oil and filter after every 800 operating hours. If oil becomes contaminated, contact your local TORO distributor because the system must be flushed. Contaminated oil looks milky or black when compared to clean oil. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Greasing the Versa Vac 1. Turn engine off.
Adjusting the Impeller Belt Make sure belt is properly tensioned to ensure proper operation of the machine and unnecessary wear. Check belt frequently. Note: Check/adjust the impeller belt tension after the first 20 hours of operation. 1. Remove the capscrews, washers and nuts securing the drive shield to the impeller housing (Fig. 16). Remove the shield. 1 Figure 15 1. Hydraulic filter 3. Lubricate new filter gasket and fill the filter with hydraulic oil. 4. Assure filter mounting area is clean.
4. Position a large wrench on tensioner. Rotate tensioner clockwise until decal is aligned with 15 on tensioner tube. Storage 1. Thoroughly clean the Vac. The impeller housing should be free of dirt, leaves, and debris. 5. Insert capscrew into aligned guide holes and secure with nut. If holes are not exactly aligned, rotate guide to the next higher hole until aligned. 2. Check the tire pressure; refer to Checking the Tire Pressure. 6. Tighten capscrew securing, on back side of frame to lock tensioner.
