Warning
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin it
must be surgically removed within a few hours
by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
Gangrene may result if this is not done.
Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks
or nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic
fluid.
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
Make sure all hydraulic fluid hoses and lines
are in good condition and all hydraulic
connections and fittings are tight before
applying pressure to hydraulic system.
Important Do not rotate by-pass valves more than 1
turn. This prevents valves from coming out of the body
and causing fluid to run out.

Greasing the Bearings

Make sure cutting unit spindles are full of grease
before engine is first started.
Grease with No. 2 general purpose lithium base or
molybdenum base grease.
1. Grease the fittings on the three spindle bearings.
Grease until it comes out lower seals (Fig. 11).

Adjustment in the Maintenance section on page 45.
