SKID SHOES

Skid shoes are made of carbon steel to reduce wear and increase service life. Premature wear can be caused by the mower Center or Wing sections being set too low which allows the Wing Skid Shoes to drag on the ground. Dragging the Skid Shoes on the ground or running the Skid Shoes into solid objects can contribute to early frame failure on the mower. Replace worn Skid Shoes as required.

STORAGE

Your rotary cutter represents an investment from which you should get the greatest possible benefit. Therefore, when the season is over, the cutter should be thoroughly checked and prepared for storage so that a minimum amount of work will be required to put it back into operation for the next season. The following are suggested storage procedures:

1.Thoroughly clean the cutter.

2.Lubricate the cutter as covered in Maintenance Section.

3.Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque.

4.Check the cutter for worn or damaged parts. Make replacements immediately.

5.Store the cutter in a clean, dry place with the cutter housing resting on blocks.

6.Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the cutter.
