OPERATION

•Inspect the gearbox oil level. A low oil level is a warning sign that the gearbox may be cracked or its seal is damaged and needs replacement.

•Ensure the gearbox vent is in place and free from clogs. OPS-R-0040

•Inspect blades and blade bolts for looseness and excessive wear. Make sure the mower is securely blocked up before crawling beneath.

Replace damaged, worn and missing blades as complete sets to maintain rotary balance during operation.

•Ensure carrier hub nut is tightened with the cotter pin inserted and spread. OPS-R-0041
