WARNING

On pull-type units, a pin is installed to prevent the height adjustment crank from detaching. Do not operate or service unit unless pin is installed.

Before performing any service or maintenance, lower equipment to ground or block securely, turn off engine, remove key, and disconnect driveline from tractor PTO.

Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

CAUTION

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

The information in this section is written for operators who possess basic mechanical skills. Should you need help, your dealer has trained service technicians avail- able. For your protection, read and follow all safety information in this manual.

LUBRICATION INFORMATION (FIGURE 7)

The accompanying chart gives the frequency of lubri- cation in operating hours, based on normal conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more fre- quent lubrication.

Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.

Use an SAE 90W gear lube in gearbox.

Use a lithium grease of No. 2 consistency with a MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations. Be

sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching grease gun. When applied according to the lubrication chart, one good pump of most guns is sufficient. Do not overgrease.

Daily lubrication of the PTO slip joint is necessary. Fail- ure to maintain proper lubrication can result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, tractor PTO and/or cutter drive- line.
