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.
•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.
•Ensure the blade carriers are properly timed to avoid blade contact during operation. See instructions to properly time blades in the Maintenance Section.
•Ensure 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.
•Check 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.
