OPERATION
•Ensure the tractor PTO master shield is in place, lowered and in good condition.
•Ensure each mower slip clutch shield is secured in place and in good condition.
•Ensure the driveline slip clutches are properly adjusted and the friction plates are not frozen together. Reference the Maintenance Section for proper slip clutch maintenance.
•Perform scheduled lubrication as specified in the maintenance section.
•Inspect each gearbox oil level using dipstick level indicator 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.
•Ensure all gearbox vents are in place and free from clogs.
•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.
•Ensure carrier hub nuts are tightened with the cotter pin inserted and spread.
•Inspect the condition of the deck skid shoes and the skid shoe attaching hardware.
