MAINTENANCE
TO TEST FOR FROZEN CLUTCHES
1.Mark across Clutch Disks and Plates plainly with soft chalk so that you can tell if Clutch slips (would mis- align the marks).
2.2.With mower lifted off the ground, PTO engaged, and tractor engine at half throttle, let the tractor clutch out rapidly to see if all Slip Clutches will slip.
3.If all Clutches slip and provide protection for the drivetrain, you are ready to mow if you have performed all normal maintenance.
MACHINE IS STORED OUTSIDE FOR 30 DAYS OR MORE
1.Before mowing, back off all Adjusting Nuts (1) until Nuts just touch Springs (10). Then, tighten Nuts one full turn uniformly
2.Mark Plates and Disks as in A.1. above. With PTO engaged and tractor running at HALF THROTTLE, let Clutch out rapidly to “pop” Slip Clutches loose. If all Slip Clutches slip as is necessary, adjust as is shown at “D” on other side, and you are ready to mow if you have completed all normal maintenance.
When adding hydraulic oil, use only new oil from a sealed barrel. Used oil or oil from an open barrel may contain high levels of contamination. Transfer the new oil into the hydraulic tank by using a hydraulic filter pump unit equipped with a property operating 10 micron filter. This will insure that the oil being added is clean. Do not just pour the oil directly into the hydraulic tank since most oils (even from a sealed barrel) have contaminants that should be removed, before operating the hydraulic system.
ATTENTION!
Buy clean Universal Tractor Hydraulic Oil and keep it clean. Always clean off filler area and add new oil through a filter.
