3. On a level surface, roll the machine straight back
2 to 3 m (6 to 10 ft) and then straight forward
to the original starting position. This allows the
suspension to settle into the operating position.
Adjusting the Camber
Owner provided tools: spanner wrench, T oro Part
132-5069; refer to your authorized T oro distributor .
Important: Make the camber adjustments only
if you are using a front attachment or if there is
uneven tire wear .
Note: This procedure can be performed on the front
and rear tires.
1. Check the camber alignment at each wheel; the
alignment should be as close to neutral (zero)
as possible.
Note: The tires should be aligned with the tread
evenly on the ground to reduce uneven wear .
2. If the wheel camber is out of alignment, use the
spanner wrench to rotate the collar on the shock
absorber to align the wheel ( Figure 51 ).
