OPERATION
¾Perform scheduled lubrication as specified in the maintenance section.
¾Inspect each gearbox oil level and replenish if needed. A low oil level is a warning sign that the gearbox may be cracked or its seal is damaged and needs to be replaced.
¾Ensure all gearbox vents are in place and free from clogs.
¾Inspect 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.
¾Ensure carrier hub nuts are tightened with the cotter pin inserted and spread.
¾Inspect the condition of the deck skid shoes and the skid shoe attaching hardware.
¾Ensure each hydraulic cylinder is installed and retained correctly. Ensure the proper size pins are used to retain the cylinders in place and are secured with pins.
¾Check for hydraulic oil leaks on the cylinders, along the hydraulic lines, and at tractor hydraulic ports. IMPORTANT: DO NOT use your hands to check for oil leaks. Use a piece of heavy paper or cardboard to check for hydraulic oil leaks.
¾Ensure that the mower is equipped and secured with wing brace supports.
¾Check the condition of the wing hinge pins.
¾Check the condition of the mower axle suspension spring.
