DAILY INSPECTION
To enable customers to implement service procedures, and design changes that are recommended to improve the operation and service life of the mower, Service Bulletins are issued by the factory.
It is important that Service Bulletin instructions are implemented as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT
At the end of the workday clean the mower thoroughly.
If a pressure washer is used do not direct the high pressure water jet directly at the Bearing Seals, to do so will force water into the bearings and result in bearing failure.
MAINWHEEL BEARINGS
Mower Units up to Serial No. 356 have Sealed Bearings that do not require lubricating during service.
Refer to pages 35 and 36 for service procedure on the revised axle designs, with Cup and Cone Bearings, that are fitted from Serial No. 357 onwards.
TIRES
Main and Outrigger.
All tires should be visually inspected each day for excessive wear, bulges or any other damage.
•Refer to the Tire Sidewall for the recommended operating pressure.
•Check the Wheel Lug Nuts for tightness.
The Wheel Nuts should be tightened to 90 ft.lb. torque.
Pay particular attention to the above if the machine is frequently transported on highways or on rough roads.
NOTE
Turf tires are not designed for use on highways.
OUTRIGGER WHEELS
Mower Units Serial No. 1 to 73 (and also No.87) have Dual Outrigger Wheels.
All machines after No.73 have Single Outrigger Wheels. Dual Outrigger Wheels have a single Roller Bearing pressed into the Wheel Hub, and retained by a Collar at each end of the axle.
