GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Before doing any maintenance or adjusting on the mower always stop the tractor, place in park, remove the ignition key, and wait for all mower rotation to stop. Place adequate support bracing as need to safely work on the mower.

In the day operation of the RC12 the operator should: Check for and tightened any loose bolts and shields. Lubricate all fittings every 8 hrs. See Lubrication.

Periodically check fluid level in gearbox. See Lubrication.

Periodically check belt for correct tension, and remove any debris from inside shield. See Belt Drive Always inspect cutting reel for missing knives or hangers before operation. See Knives

Replace any missing or unreadable decals.

Carefully investigate any problems, noises, or excessive vibration.

LUBRICATION

Lubricate the driveline shaft slides and all universal joints every 8 hours. Grease PTO shaft as outlined on the diagram located on the rear of the deck. Grease all bearings and grease points before operating mower and after every 8 hours of operation.

The gearbox is shipped with the proper amount of Chevron Delo gear lubricant 80w-90w (Rhino p/n 00724177). Check the level of the gearbox. The oil level should be filled to the bottom of the plug at the rear of the gear box. Do not overfill the gearbox as this will damage the seals. The gearbox lubricant should be changed after 100 hours of operation and every 1000 hours of operation thereafter. The gearbox requires approximately 6 quarts of lubricant.

LUBRICATE MOWER BEFORE INITIAL USE. LUBRICATE ALL LOCATIONS INDICATED EVERY 8 HOURS WITH A CLEAN, LITHIUM-BASED NO. 2 GREASE. WIPE OFF FITTINGS AND END OF GREASE GUN BEFORE ATTACHING GREASE GUN.

NOTE: Lubricate roller bearing until lubricant can be seen coming out between roller and bearing housing.

The wheel bearings should be inspected and re-packed yearly.

Before each day's use, follow this procedure:

•Visually check the unit and make certain all items are properly tightened.

•Check the rotor shaft to make certain it is fully knifed. Replace any missing knives, then run the unit at full speed to check for vibrations. Do not operate the unit in an out-of-balance condition.

Before doing maintenance, turn off power and securely block up mower.

NOTE: See Lubrication chart Mnt-FL-0028_A on following page, 5-3.
