CHECK REEL-TO-BEDKNIFE CONTACT
Each day before operating, check reel-to-bedknife contact, regard-
less of whether the quality of cut had previously been acceptable.
There must be light contact across the full length of the reel and
bedknife (refer to Adjusting Reel to Bedknife in Cutting Unit
Operator's Manual).
CHECK THE TORQUE OF WHEEL NUTS
OR BOLTS
Torque the front wheel nuts to 61–74 kPa and the rear
wheel nuts to 115–135 kPa after 1–4 hours of operation
and again after 10 hours of operation and every 200 hours
thereafter. Failure to maintain proper torque could result
in failure or loss of the wheel and may result in personal
injury.
