OPERATION
OPERATION
•Ensure the tractor PTO master shield and the mower slip clutch shield are in place, lowered, and in good condition.
•Ensure the driveline integral shield is in good condition and rotates freely.
•Ensure the driveline slip clutch (if equipped) is properly adjusted.
•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.
Replace bent or broken blades with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN, WELD, OR WELD HARDFACING ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN BLADES.
