STOW CUTTER 3 SAW — MAINTENANCE

General Transmission Care (Self-Propelled Models only)

All CUTTER 3 model saws utilize spline gear wheel design coupled with an EATON Model 7 Hydrostatic Transmission that provides forward/reverse propulsion. The simple design of the system keeps maintenance to a minimum.

Transmission Reservoir Cup:

Check every 8 hours of operation. When the transmission is cold (A), check oil level against the level indicator (see Figure 45).

CAUTION

DO NOT use multiple viscosity oils! DO NOT OVERFILL.

Spline GearWheels:

Check every 25 hours and clean as necessary. If the spline wheels DO NOT engage the rear wheels with sufficient pressure, slippage of the rear wheels may occur.

To adjust the Spline Gear Assembly:

1.Place the transmission engage/disengage lever in the DISENGAGE position (Figure 46) .

For extreme hot weather, drain oil and refill with an oil having a viscosity of SAE30W-30 or SAE40W-40.

Drive Chain:

The drive chain may stretch requiring tension adjustments. To adjust the drive chain tension:
