Maintenance

Lubrication

Each cutting unit has 6 grease fittings
lubricated regularly with No. 2 general purpose, lithium-base
grease.
The lubrication points are front roller (2), rear roller (2), and
reel bearing (2).
Note: Lubricating cutting units immediately after
washing helps purge water out of bearings and increases
bearing life.
1. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.
2. Apply grease until clean grease is seen coming out of
roller seals and bearing relief valve.
3. Wipe excess grease away.

Adjusting the Reel Bearings

To ensure long life of the reel bearings, periodically check if
reel end play exists. The reel bearings can be checked and
adjusted as follows:
1. Loosen reel to bedknife contact by turning the bedknife
adjusting knobs (Figure
contact exists.

2. Using a rag or thickly padded glove, hold on to the reel
blade and try to move the reel assembly side to side
(Figure 28).
3. If end play exists, proceeded as follows:
A. Loosen external set screw securing bearing
adjusting nut to bearing housing located on the
left side of the cutting unit
1. Set screw
B. Using a 1-3/8 inch socket wrench, slowly tighten
the reel bearing adjustment nut until no end
play of the reel exists. If adjusting nut does not
eliminate reel end play, replace reel bearings.
Note: Reel bearings do not require preload. Over
tightening reel bearing adjuster nut will damage
reel bearings.
4. Tighten the set screw to secure the bearing adjusting
nut to the bearing housing. Torque it to 1.4–1.7 N-m
(12–15 in-lb).
