Servis-Rhino FM84A manual Driving the Tractor and Mower, Front Gauge Wheel Interference Check

OPERATION

OPERATION

¾Inspect 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.

¾Ensure carrier hub nut is tightened with the cotter pin inserted and spread.

FRONT GAUGE WHEEL INTERFERENCE CHECK

Do not operate mower until this interference check has been performed. If you change tractors, you must perform the check for that mounting.

Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to maximum height of tractor lift.

Pivot both front gauge wheels forward and check that there is clearance between gauge wheels and tractor tires.

If there is interference, you must move hitch pin to extended position (See assembly section). Move tractor tires inward to obtain clearance or lower mower until clearance exists. Set 3-Point quadrant stop so mower cannot be raised beyond set point.

DANGER!		Replace bent or broken blades with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN
		OR WELD ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE
		BLADE WITH SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN
		BLADES. (SGM-10)
WARNING!
	Never work under the Mower, the framework, or any lifted component
	unless the Mower is securely supported or blocked up to prevent
	sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or
	even death. (SG-14)
