Using the Kickstand When
Tipping the Cutting Unit
Whenever you have to tip the cutting unit to expose
the bedknife and the reel, prop up the rear of the
cutting unit with the kickstand (supplied with the
traction unit) to make sure that the nuts on the back
end of the bedbar adjusting screws are not resting on
the work surface

Each cutting unit has 6 grease fittings
must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 lithium grease.
The lubrication points include the front roller (2), the
rear roller (2), and the reel bearing (2).
1.
Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.
2.
Apply grease until clean grease comes out of
the roller seals and the bearing relief valve.
3.
Wipe any excess grease away.

Adjusting the Reel Bearings
To ensure long life of the reel bearings, periodically
check if reel end play exists. You can check and
adjust the reel bearings as follows:
1.
Loosen the reel-to-bedknife contact by turning
the bedknife adjusting knobs
counterclockwise until no contact exists.
