MAINTENANCE

Before operating your Rotary Cutter, make sure it is properly lubricated and thoroughly inspected. Only a minimum of time and effort is required to regularly lubricate and maintain this machine to provide long life and trouble free operation.

Always disengage the PTO before raising the Rotary Cutter for transporting or making adjustments.

Lubrication

Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas. The illustrations show lubrication points. The chart gives the frequency of lubrication in hours, based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication.

Use an SAE multi-purpose, lithium-type grease for all locations shown. Be sure to clean the fitting thoroughly before using grease gun. Failure to maintain proper lubrication will result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and/or driveshaft.
