Maintenance

Using the Kickstand When
Tipping the Cutting Unit
Whenever the cutting unit has to be tipped to expose
the bedknife/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
(Figure 21).

Lubricating the Cutting
Units
Each cutting unit has 5 grease fittings
must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 lithium grease.
There are 2 lubrication points on the front roller, rear
roller, and 1 at the reel motor spline.
Note:
Lubricating cutting units immediately after
washing helps purge water out of the bearings
and increases bearing life.
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.

Relief-Grinding the Reel

The new reel has a land width of 1.3 to 1.5 mm (0.050
to 0.060 inch) and a 30 degree relief grind.
When the land width gets larger than 3 mm (0.120
inch) wide, do the following:
