Proper servicing and adjustments are the key to the long life of any machine.
With careful and systematic inspection of the mower, costly maintenance, waste
of time, and repair can be avoided.
Before beginning to work, the following inspection and checks should be
performed:
1. Check oil level in gearbox. Refer to "Gearbox Lubrication".
2. Check that all plugs in gearbox have been replaced and tightened properly.
3. Be sure all mower blades, bolts, and lock nuts are tight.
4. Be certain all guards and shields are in place and secure.
5. Grease driveline shaft and all other grease fittings.
6. Clear area to be worked of rocks, branches, and other foreign objects. Do not
use mower on stony ground.
7. Lower mower to ground. Set tractor throttle at approximately 1/4 open.
Engage PTO to start blades rotating.
8. Operate with 540 rpm PTO tractor. At first begin working at a slow forward
speed and shift up until the desired speed is achieved maintaining 540 rpm PTO.
The rotor blades will cut better at full blade speed than at reduced throttle.
9. After working the first 50 feet, stop and check to see that the mower is
adjusted properly.
10. Do not make sharp turns or attempt to back up while mower is on the
ground.
11. Never work close to or on steep slopes.
12. Do not engage PTO with mower in the fully raised position. Do not engage
PTO at full throttle. Do not lift mower with PTO engage.
13. Do not allow anyone including yourself near the mower when it is operating.
14. Periodically check for foreign objects wrapped around the rotor shaft and
remove them after disengaging PTO, turning off tractor, and removing ignition
key.
