BOX (Fig. 8)
The cutting unit must be lubricated regularly. If the
machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate
the castor bearings and bushings with No. 2 general pur-
pose lithium base grease or molybdenum base grease,
after every 8 hours of operation or daily, whichever
comes first. Lubricate fittings immediately after every
washing, regardless of the interval listed.

of cut. A pitch less than 6.4 mm will result in more
power required, smaller clippings and a better qual-
ity of cut.

The cutting unit has bearings and bushings that
must be lubricated, and these lubrication points are:
gage wheels (2) (Fig. ), front castor shaft bushings
(2), blade spindle bearings (5), idler arm pivots (2),
drive shaft (3), Wing deck pivots (2) and right and
left push arm ball joints (Fig. 8).

Position the machine and cutting unit on a level
surface and lower the cutting unit. Remove the
check plug from the side of gear box and make sure
lubricant is up to the bottom of the hole. If the
level of lubricant is low, remove the fill plug on top
of the gear case and add SAE 80-90 wt. gear lube
until the level is up to the bottom of hole in side.
