Check hydraulic
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - ALWAYS replace worn or damaged hydraulic
Inspect the mower for signs of oil leakage. Tighten fittings or replace seals as required.
Check fasteners: Check that all nuts, bolts and pins are secured correctly in place and in good condition.
Check safety devices:
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS : Ensure that all safety guards, shields and protective devices are securely in place and in good working order.
Check tyres: Examine the condition of the tyres and check that inflation pressures are correctly set, refer - SPECIFICATIONS.
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS : Ensure that damaged tyres are replaced. Ensure that tyre tread depths comply with road traffic regulations.
Grease all rear axle components including the centre axle beam pivot pin, both steering yokes, track rod ball joints and steering cylinder ball joints, refer - EVERY 50 HOURS, GREASE PIVOT POINTS.
Check cutterheads: Examine the condition of the cutting cylinders and bottom blades. Adjust as necessary, refer - CUTTERHEAD CYLINDER TO BOTTOM BLADE ADJUSTMENT.
Grease all cutterhead rollers with a good quality medium grade grease and ensure that sufficient grease is injected such that clean grease is seen to escape from the roller end cap, refer - EVERY 50 HOURS.
If no grease can be seen escaping from the roller end cap it can be assumed that the rear seal has failed, resulting in the the roller shell being filled with grease.
Note: Care should be taken if an industrial power greaser is used as this may result in damage to the bearing sealing arrangement.
Check forward/reverse travel pedal action: With the engine switched ‘off’, operate the forward and reverse travel pedals through the full range of articulation and ensure that the mechanism returns freely to the neutral position.
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS: Do not operate the machine if there are any signs of
‘Stickiness’ in the pedal mechanism which prevents a free return to the neutral condition.
