Checking the Rear Axle
Lubricant
The rear axle is shipped from the factory filled with SAE
85W-140 wt. gear lube. Check level before engine is first
started and every 400 hours thereafter. Capacity is 80 oz.
Visually inspect for leaks daily.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove a check plug (Fig. 21) from one end of axle
and make sure lubricant is up to bottom of hole. If level
is low, remove the fill plug (Fig. 21) and add enough
lubricant to bring the level up to the bottom of the
check plug holes.

Checking the Tire Pressure

The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore, release
some of the air to reduce the pressure. Correct air pressure
in the front and rear tires is 15–20 psi.
Important Maintain even pressure in all tires to ensure
a good quality-of-cut and proper machine performance. Do
not under inflate.
Checking the Reel to Bedknife
Contact
Each day before operating, check reel to bedknife contact,
regardless if 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).
Checking the Torque of the
Wheel Nuts or Bolts
Warning
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel
nuts could result in personal injury.
Torque the front wheel nuts and rear wheel bolts to
85–100 ft.-lb. after 1–4 hours of operation and
again after 10 hours of operation. Torque every
200 hours thereafter.
