Checking for End-Play in the Planetary Drives
DANGER
A machine on a jack may be unstable and slip off the jack, which could result in death
or serious injury.
• Do not start the engine while the machine is on a jack.
• Always remove the key from the switch before getting off the machine.
• Block the tires when you are raising the machine with a jack.
• Support the machine with jack stands.
There should be no end-play in the planetary drives/drive wheels (i.e., the wheels should not
move when you pull or push them in a direction parallel to the axle).
1. Prepare the machine for maintenance.
2. Chock the rear wheels and raise the front of machine.
3. Support the front frame of the machine with jack stands.

4. Grasp a front drive wheel and push/pull it
toward and away from the machine, noting any
movement.
5. Repeat step 4 for the other drive wheel.
6. If either wheel moves, contact your authorized
Toro distributor to have the planetary drive
rebuilt.
