MAINTENANCE
Blades
Check the Blades for cracks and wear and Blade Bolts for tightness, daily. Blades should be replaced when
they are worn excessively, bent, deformed, or out of balance.
Blades should always be replaced in pairs. Blades of different weights can cause serious
imbalance and damage to the machine and personnel. When replacing blades, take care to
replace the blade bolts, nuts, and washers.
Make sure the mower blades are turning clockwise when looking
down from the top of the mower. Follow the color coding on the
hydraulic hoses and fittings to make sure the motor and hydaulics
hoses are assembled properly. Connect the red hose connection only
to red fitting. Connect the blue hose connection only to the blue
fitting. The blade rotation on the leading edge of the mower should
discharge the cut material away from the tractor and operator.
If the leading edge of the mower blades are rotating backwards they
can discharge material toward the operator. If this occurs discontinue
mowing immediately and revers the direction of the motor rotation by
correctly installing the motor pressure and return hoses. Contact
your dealer or Alamo Industrial for specific information on the hose
routing.
