Servicing the Cutting Blades Note: To increase the height, turn the adjustment nut clockwise; to decrease, turn counter clockwise. Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting season because sharp blades cut cleanly without tearing or shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which slows growth and increases the chance of disease.
MOWER DECKS Inspecting the Blades Checking for Bent Blades Service Interval: Before each use or daily 1. Inspect the cutting edges (Fig. 463). 1. Disengage the blade control switch (PTO), move the motion control levers to the neutral locked position and set the parking brake. Note: If the edges are not sharp or have nicks, remove and sharpen the blades. Refer to “Sharpening the Blades” on page 6-30. 2.
MOWER DECKS 4. Rotate the opposite ends of the blades forward. Removing the Blades 5. Measure from a level surface to the cutting edge of the blades at the same position as in step 3 above. Blades must be replaced if a solid object is hit, if the blade is out of balance, or is bent. To ensure optimum performance and continued safety conformance of the machine, use genuine Toro replacement blades. Replacement blades made by other manufacturers may result in non-conformance with safety standards. 6.
MOWER DECKS Sharpening the Blades Installing the Blades 1. Install the blade onto the spindle shaft (Fig. 468). WARNING When sharpening blade, pieces of blade could be thrown and cause serious injury. Wear proper eye protection when sharpening blade. 1. Use a file to sharpen the cutting edge at both ends of the blade (Fig. 466). Maintain the original angle. The blade retains its balance if the same amount of material is removed from both cutting edges.

MOWER DECKS Using the Clutch Shim Removing the Clutch Shim Some later model year units have been built with clutches that contain a brake shim. When the clutch brake has worn to the point where the clutch no longer engages consistently, the shim can be removed to extend the clutch life (Fig. 477). E 1. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove the key. Engage the parking brake. Allow the machine to cool completely before starting these instructions. 2.
MOWER DECKS 5. Measure the gap between the rotor and armature. If the gap is greater than 0.04” (1mm), proceed. 7. Using needle nose pliers, or by hand, take hold of the tab and remove the shim (Fig. 480). 6. Loosen both brake mounting-bolts one-half to one full turn (Fig. 479). Note: Do not discard the shim until proper clutch function has been confirmed. Note: Do not remove the brake pole from the field shell/armature.
MOWER DECKS 10. Using a 0.010” thick feeler gauge, verify that a gap is present between the rotor and armature face on both sides of the brake pole (Fig. 481 and Fig. 482). Safety Check Note: Due to the way the rotor and armature faces wear (peaks and valleys) it is sometimes difficult to measure the true gap. 2. Make sure the blades Do Not engage with the PTO switch “off ” and the clutch disengaged.

Relay Purpose There is one relay on this machine. 1. Start Relay: Functions as an electronic switch. Once the safety connections are met, the relay will activate completing the circuit to the starter solenoid. 1. Coil: Terminals 85 and 86 are connected to a coil.
ELECTRICAL Testing 5. Disconnect voltage and multimeter leads from relay terminals (Fig. 486). Fig. 485 relay pin diagram Fig. 486 xl relay 1. Disconnect the relay from the harness. 2. Verify the coil resistance between terminals 85 and 86 with a multimeter (ohms setting). Resistance should be from 70 to 90 ohms. There should be continuity between terminals 87a and 30. 3. Connect multimeter (ohms setting) leads to relay terminals 30 and 87. Ground terminal 86 and apply +12 VDC to 85.

ELECTRICAL Park Brake Switch How It Works Purpose When starting, it functions to ensure the park brake is in the ON position. At the same time it allows current to flow through the remainder of the starting safety circuit. When the park brake is released in the OFF position, it bypasses both neutral switches, permitting the control levers to be used, as long as the operator is in the seat to maintain current to the safety circuit (Fig. 493).
ELECTRICAL Seat Switch How It Works Purpose When the seat is vacated, the switch is open and there should be NO continuity between the two terminals. When the seat is occupied, the switch closes and there should be continuity between the two terminals (Fig. 495). The switch is in the safety circuit. If the engine is running and the operator vacates the seat with either the PTO or the parking brake disengaged, the engine will shut down.
ELECTRICAL Neutral Safety Switch How It Works Purpose This single pole plunger (normally open) type switch has two terminals. When the motion control handles are in the neutral position (handles in the out position), it pushes on the plunger, closing the contact and connecting the terminals (Fig. 497). Used to ensure the motion control handles are in neutral to start the unit. It is activated by moving the motion control handles to the neutral position (handles outward).
ELECTRICAL TVS Diode How It Works Purpose This is a surge protector for the electric PTO clutch. It clamps the voltage off of the PTO clutch (Fig. 499). The TVS Diode is a surge protector for the electric PTO clutch. Location The TVS Diode is located on the right hand side of the engine, plugged into the wiring harness (Fig. 498). Fig. 499 DSCN-0149a Testing 1. Check to see if the 10 amp fuse is blown for the PTO clutch. Fig. 498 DSCN-0005a 2. With a multi-tester, check the oms.
ELECTRICAL Fuel Sender How It Works Purpose The sender measures the time it takes for and ultrasonic signal to travel from the sender to the fuel in the fuel tank and back to the sender to determine the fuel level (Fig. 501). The fuel sender uses an ultrasonic device that measures the level of fuel in the fuel tank. Location The fuel sender is located under the seat, on top of the fuel tank (Fig. 500). Fig. 501 Fig.
ELECTRICAL Fuel/Hour Meter How It Works Purpose The solid state multi-function meter which has no serviceable parts. The functions include an hour meter which records the number of hours the engine has operated. A fuel gauge which a light will light up when the fuel is low (about 1 gallon of fuel left) and also has indicator bars to indicate how much fuel is in the fuel tank. Battery light when the battery is low.
ELECTRICAL Electric PTO Clutch Coil Resistance Measurement Purpose 1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, turn the ignition to the “off” position and remove the ignition key. The electric clutch controls the engagement and disengagement of the Power Take Off (PTO) pulley. 2. Disconnect the clutch harness from the main harness. Location 3. Set the multimeter or volt/ohm meter to check resistance (ohms). The electric clutch is located on the PTO end of the engine crankshaft. 4.
ELECTRICAL Measuring Clutch Current Draw 1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, turn the ignition key to OFF, and remove the key. 2. Disconnect the PTO clutch harness from the main harness. 3. Set the multimeter to check amps (10 amp scale). 4. Connect the positive meter lead to terminal (1) of the main harness (Fig. 504). Fig. 504 diag 3-7a 5. Connect the negative meter lead to the clutch harness terminal (3) (Fig. 504). 6. Connect a short jumper lead from terminal (2) to terminal (4) Fig. 000.
